bizsmith@yahoo.com Report post Posted December 17, 2011 I took a look at the manual for the 2012 CRV and I see that once again it is towable. Good news for me, as I plan to trade in my '03 that I have towed with no problem for 8 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bizsmith@yahoo.com Report post Posted December 18, 2011 We got lucky and visited a dealer that had them 2 days before the official introduction. The young salesman insisted that they were not towable but I persisted until he found a manual and it clearly has a section on towing behind a motorhome.

Garyr Report post Posted January 9, 2012 From what I've heard the only Honda that can not be towed is the Rigeline "truck" according to Remco the lube pump folks. Gary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bizsmith@yahoo.com Report post Posted January 9, 2012 Other models could be towed but Honda will not honor the warranty. See my reply under towing the Accord. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CleanLivin Report post Posted February 10, 2012 From what the Motorhome Living 2011 guide says, the CR-V is towable but not to EXCEED 65mph. Thus I'd have to drive at less than 65 - not probable given I run at 68 to 71 all day long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chuckconnie Report post Posted April 17, 2012 Just got off the phone with Honda customer service. I am towing a 2011 4 wheel drive CRV. The owners manual tells me to pull fuse #34 if going to tow for an extended period of time. Well you have to be a orangutan or octopus to pull the fuse so I asked my dealership who could not answer the following question: Would installing a battery disconnect be OK or does anything need any power while being towed? I called AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE and they could not or would not give me an answer either. Can anyone answer this? The reason for this question is that on a recent trip to Florida which took 2 overnights,both mornings my battery was dead in the Honda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted April 17, 2012 Chuck, I do not know the answer to your question either, BUT, I would not chance continually cutting off power to the computer that controls the engine. Better to install a disconnect in that fuse that should be pulled. Not difficult to wire. Then you just turn off that one circuit. Brett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ccmsm Report post Posted April 17, 2012 We tow a 2007 CRV with a Blue Ox tow package. Does anyone know if the attachment on my car would be transferable to a 2012 CRV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They can tell you if the 2007 and 2012 brackets are the same (unlikely since the part numbers are different). http://www.blueox.com/bx-r-baseplates.aspx Also, don't know where you are located, but this on Blue Ox's website: *** Blue Ox is offering a free baseplate installation to the first customer willing to bring their 2011 Honda CRV to our factory for the installation. Contact Mandy Johnson for further details. *** Brett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
