Question:
Can I tow this CRV ON A TOW DOLLY? Honda CR-V 4D
asked by: Jaime
Expert Reply:
The 2013 Honda CR-V AWD (all wheel drive) cannot be towed on a tow dolly. The online owner's manual indicates on page 235 that the AWD must have all 4 wheels on the ground or all 4 off the ground when towed. Towing this vehicle on a dolly could result in damage to the AWD system. You might refer to your printed owner's manual just in case it differs from the online version I could access.
If you want to flat tow the car behind a motorhome you can do so using the components outlined in the linked article. The items needed include a tow bar, base plate, safety cables, a wiring/lighting kit and a supplementary braking system. Examples of such items that fit the CR-V are below:
Base Plate # RM-521567-4
Falcon Tow Bar # RM-522
Safety Cables # RM-643
Magnetic Tow Lights # TL21RK
Even Brake # RM-9400 and 12V Outlet Kit # RM-9332
