2021 Honda CR-V Towing Capacity

While towing is often associated with big and burly pickup trucks, SUVs like the 2022 Honda CR-V are quickly becoming an ideal alternative for adventurous families around Atlantic City, Egg Harbor, and Galloway, NJ.

Below, our team at Boardwalk Honda breaks down what this model can do in terms of towing and hauling. We’ll also give you a look at the vehicle’s performance specs and interior dimensions. Learn all about the CR-V and contact us if you have any questions.

The 2022 Honda CR-V is rated as a compact SUV, but its capabilities are anything but small. When properly equipped, the CR-V can tow up to 1,500 pounds of trailer weight. As a result, you’ll be able to hitch up a variety of items to the rear of the CR-V, including:

• A popup tent trailer for a weekend in solitude.
• A snowmobile or jet ski for when you’re craving an adrenaline rush.
• A flatbed trailer piled with fresh mulch for a DIY landscaping project.
• A small aluminum boat for when it’s time to teach the kids how to fish.

To utilize this towing capacity, you’ll need to opt for available trailering features. The standard multi-angle rearview camera makes it easier than ever to hitch and back up the trailer with normal, top-down, and wide-angle view options.

The capabilities of the Honda CR-V are made possible by its standard 1.5L turbocharged engine. This engine not only generates a whopping 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque, but it also provides an EPA-estimated 28 city/34 highway MPG across all 2022 Honda CR-V 2WD trims.¹

In addition to the standard gas engine, the Honda CR-V has an available 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with an electric motor. The hybrid engine keeps up with the standard gas engine by producing 181 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque. All the 2022 Honda CR-V hybrid trims earn an EPA-estimated 40 city/ 35 highway MPG.¹

Not only can the CR-V drive farther for longer, but it can also take on any road with ease with available Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™. It’ll react more quickly to a loss in traction, keeping it stable on slippery surfaces. As a result, you can feel confident on the road during any time of the year.

As mentioned before, the Honda CR-V towing capacity is impressive. However, there is also lots of space inside for cargo. You’ll be able to haul all kinds of cargo items inside the cabin of the vehicle.

You’ll get 39.2 cubic feet of cargo room behind the rear seats. Without having to give up any of your passenger seats, you’ll have ample space for grocery bags, sports equipment, luggage, and other personal belongings.

Fold down either side of the easy fold-down 60/40 split rear seatback, and you’ll be able to fit more items while still leaving room for a back-seat passenger. Fold down both sides, and you’ll have 75.8 cubic feet of cargo room for a week’s worth of camping equipment, full-sized pieces of furniture for moving, and much more.

In addition, the available hands-free access power tailgate makes accessing the cargo area easy when your hands are full. Simply swipe your foot under the rear bumper to open the liftgate, and then start packing those items inside.

With an impressive towing capacity and plenty of features, the 2022 Honda CR-V is a great option for trips around Atlantic City, Egg Harbor, and Galloway, New Jersey.
