So i’ve been looking around and i was wondering if any one has experience towing a Small trailer with a four wheeler? I’ve googled it and it says it can withstand 1500lbs but i’m not sure if a four wheeler is too much. Also, where are the connectors located for trailer lights?

I will be towing a 4x8 U-Haul trailer from TX to NC next month with my 2008 CR-V. Just some light furniture so should be just under the weight limit. Installed a Class III hitch, mainly for ease of mounting (Class I/II required drilling). Now I need to purchase a ball mount with 2-3/4" rise to...

Hi Everyone, I was hoping to get a recommendation on what class Hitch I should install on my CRV. I keep reading online about Class III but based on the specs that's massive overkill since the car can only tow 1500 lbs and a class III is rated for 3500-8000 lbs! I am hoping to buy a jet ski...

When towing our CR-V behind our MH and trying to change lanes, I find traffic is sometimes less then courteous. I wanted to make sure that others could see my turn signals and stop lights. Before preceding, let me note that when towing, I use the old 3 wire stop/turn/tail light system on the...

Has anyone towed a trailer heavier than the 1500lb limit. I wasn't sure if stabilizer bars and brakes made a difference. Any comments would be welcome

Hey all! I looked through a bunch of threads on this forum and am still in question of my vehicle's capabilities to tow. In May I am moving from Michigan to Boulder Colorado. I am taking my bedroom with me, and that is about it. So king-sized bed, two IKEA floor storage units (25 lbs each)...
