Can you flat tow a 2016 Honda CRV?

I just bought a new RV, and I’m excited to go on my first trip. However, I want to bring my 2016 Honda CRV with me so I don’t have to drive the massive RV around everywhere I go. Is it possible to flat tow a 2016 Honda CRV?

No—you can’t flat tow a 2016 Honda CRV under any circumstances. The platform that Honda builds the CRV on isn’t conducive to flat towing, and doing so may damage the transmission and drivetrain.
If you want to tow your 2016 Honda CRV behind your RV, the only acceptable method to avoid damage is using a flatbed trailer. This ensures that all four wheels are off the ground, so it’s impossible to damage the car. Unfortunately, flatbed trailers can cost between $1,000 and $3,000, so you may have to budget to buy one.
If you want to start a savings account for a flatbed trailer, you can find instant savings by reviewing your
