The 2005 Honda CR-V is, for all intents and purposes, not built to tow. The maximum capacity on the vehicle is just 1,500 pounds, 3/4 ton. Dividing by ten to get tongue weight, we discover that it's only 150 pounds -- that's enough for some some trailers and campers, but You won't do much in the way cargo once You add on the weight from the equipment itself. The CR-V makes 162 lb-ft of torque, which is around the middle of itS-Class. The 2.4L 4Cylinder isn't exactly built as a workhorse, so it's understandable that Toyota prioritizes other features. Depending on configuration, You'll have a payload capacity of 956 to 1,132 pounds. Takeng all these numbers into account, it's perhaps best that You skip towing and hauling with Your CR-V.
