Honda CRV
does anyone use this vehicle as a 4 down TOAD? Likes? Dislikes? What fuses need pulled if any? My father has a 2013 for sale, I am thinking about purchasing it for a TOAD. Thanks

With the new CR-V's no longer towable 4 down, I suspect that the towable years will become relatively sought after as used cars,expressly to be towed. Our 2010, with Navigation, does not require the pulling of the fuse. It only has about 70k on it, but I get new car fever way too often. Was planning on replacing it with a new CR-V but will definitely not be. Having dealt with the poor reliability of Jeeps in the past, our only other choice would be a Subaru, but they can't be towed as automatics. Which my wife insists on. In my experience, the CR-V is the best choice as a dinghy for a gas coach.
You better check your owners manual. They all say to pull a fuse.
P. 335, 2010 Owner's Manual states, "When towing your vehicle for long periods, remove the . . . fuse to reduce drain on the battery." Starting the engine, running it thru the procedure detailed on the previous page (and recommended on the following page to be repeated at least every 8 hours) has proven to be very effective for me, after replacing the original battery.
