Question:
Does this Demco work with A 2020 Honda CRV Touring Or will I need a trailer. If so what products do you sell to hook up a trailer

Expert Reply:
The 2020 Honda CR-V Touring models are equipped with CVT style transmissions and should not be flat towed. I recommend using a tow dolly like the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1. It has a 4,250 pound capacity and adjustable tracks for the wheels on the CR-V.
You would need a standard ball mount with a 2 inch ball to connect the tow dolly to the towing vehicle # DT49MR and a brake controller to activate the electric brakes. I suggest the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195, but you will need to contact the manufacturer of the towing vehicle to see if it is pre-wired for a brake controller. If it is not, you will also need # ETBC7 to get the brake controller up and running.
