Although classified as a sport utility vehicle, the 2008 Honda CR-V is not designed for towing. Its 2.4L 4-cylinder engine limits its towing capacity to only 1,500 pounds. This translates to a maximum tongue weight of 150 pounds, which is similar to that of a larger sedan rather than its competitors of the same size. With a torque capability of 161 lb-ft, the '08 CR-V may struggle with heavy-duty tasks. Its payload capacity ranges from 1,011 to 1,171 pounds, depending on the setup. While it may not handle heavy loads well, these specifications make it suitable for towing small boats, campers, or similar lightweight trailers.
