Does anyone know if a CRV all wheel drive can be towed on a tow dolly?
Thanks

You have the right vehicle for towing
Just be sure it's in neutral and the steering wheel is un-locked
All 2003 and up CRV's are designed to be towed without any modification.

more info, hurry....these forums move fast....

 

Sorry about the typo. I am looking for information on a 2004 CRV with all wheel drive with a 5 speed manual transmision. I want to tow with a Roadmaster tow dolly with the front wheels on the dolly.
Thanks

 

my mom has an 04 crv......it can tow a dolly no problem, as long as the car you are towing is relatively light

 

I do not want to tow a tow dolly. I want to tow the CRV on a tow dolly behind a motor home.
Thanks

 

You have to tow it with either all the wheels on the ground or none of the wheels on the ground.

 

roadmaster will have no problem towing a CRV. lots of torque and a body-on-frame construction. check the tranny fluid before and after. that is the part of the car that gets abused most.

put the CRV is nuetral...the awd system is electronically controlled so the rear wheels will be free-wheeling. make sure you know how to pull a vehicle ok. the dolley trailers are not very safe. and you'll have a taller vehicle being towed. if the buick has an air suspension. there should be a switch to shut it off, (when a car with air suspension goes on a lift, it has to be shut off), shut it off. the rear end will ride alot firmer but will give you better control. the weight on the rear will make the suspension recalibrate itself and make the rearend feel very loose. with the air suspension off and the car unloaded, it'll sit much higher. don't worry, the weight of the trailer will compensate.


EDIT: i thought you wanted to tow with a buick roadmaster, not a roadmaster dolley. SORRY. well, now everyone knows what to do if they tow with a car that is equipped with air suspension.
