Things I have learned since towing my CR-V the last two months. I defintely know it is back there. It has slowed me down both as a concientious driver and certainly from a weight/stopping distance point of view. The Brake Buddy rarely engages which surprised me as well. I am always by myself with a lot of "full-time" cargo. I no longer exceed a steady speed over 70, nor do I want to. It is a good tow at 65-70. However, I am disappointed when I am 'crawling' up the steeper inclines but let the engine do it's thing. The adjustment to all that is relative to having a toad has been good.
