Yes, as long as it’s a 2014 or earlier model. Honda CR-Vs were 90s babies–the first model was released in 1997, to be exact. From 1997 - 2014, CR-Vs remained flat towable.
It’s important to check your owner’s manual for precise instructions on setting your vehicle up for flat towing, because each model year’s process looks a little different, and some models have restrictions. For instance, there are no speed or distance restrictions on 1997-1999 CR-Vs, but for models 2000 and later, the manual lists a 65 mph speed limit when flat towing.
Alternative Options
Some models may be towable with a tow dolly. Other models must be transported via flatbed trailer or tow truck. Check your owner’s manual for specific advice for your particular model.
