2021 Honda CR-V Towing Capacity
With so much to see and do in Slidell, Picayune, and New Orleans, we’re sure you’ll want to bring some equipment along on the journey. This could even include something large, like a camper or boat.
If you’re wanting a vehicle to tow said items, but aren’t looking for a truck, you could always check out SUVs, like the Honda CR-V. This vehicle has an impressive towing capacity, as well as noteworthy cargo room and performance specs.
We’ll delve into the 2021 Honda CR-V towing capacity and other characteristics below. Then, you can always contact our team at Honda of Slidell to view this automobile in person.
How Much Can the Honda CR-V Tow?
The Honda CR-V can tow up to 1,500 pounds when properly equipped. This includes a trailer hitch with power tailgate hands-free access adapter to help make towing easier than ever.
What exactly does this towing capacity mean for you? It means you can hitch all kinds of equipment to the back of your SUV, such as:
- An ATV for riding along the Texas Flat Off-Road trail.
- A small camper for a family trip to Camp Salmen Nature Park.
- A small fishing boat for catching some live ones near Rigolets Marina.
Furthermore, the CR-V offers features to help make traveling with a trailer easier than ever. This includes a Blind Spot Information System. Sensors in the rear bumper can indicate when a vehicle is approaching your trailer. With it, if you go to change lanes, you’ll receive visual and audible alerts. When the alerts go away, you’ll know that the coast is clear.
CR-V Payload
Not only can the Honda CR-V tow a great deal, but it can also carry lots of items inside.
When it comes to cargo room, you have 39.2 cubic feet when all seats are upright. If you wish to load up a few larger items, like luggage, just fold down one side of the 60/40-split rear seats. You can pack up said belongings while still leaving room for a back-seat passenger.
On the other hand, you may be riding solo or with one other person and need maximum cargo room. In that case, you can fold down the entire back row and have 75.8 cubic feet to work with.
Of course, you might want to load up items that are too big for the back of the SUV, yet too small to tow. For those belongings, you could always look into getting a Honda accessory. With available options like a bike attachment, kayak attachment, and roof box, you can strap items to the top of the CR-V, where they’ll always stay nice and secure.
Honda CR-V Power
Whether you’re towing or hauling equipment, it helps to have a vehicle capable of performing these tasks. With the CR-V, you’ll have more than enough power to make it happen.
The SUV comes standard with a 1.5L turbo 4-cylinder engine. This engine churns out 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque to easily handle just about any driving situation.
The CR-V is also highly capable when the road gets a bit rough. If you’re traveling in harsher elements, the available Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™ has your back. By automatically distributing torque before wheel slip can occur, you can remain in control on even the slickest surfaces for your peace of mind.
