Is any one here towing a small pop-up with a CRV? If yes, how does it do over hills etc ? Jack L

PAThwacker,
the 1640LTD has an UVW of 1,399#, not the 1,937# you claimed. A bit 'o difference....
I will certainly agree with you that 3,500# rated tow vehicles probably should not be used to pull 12 footers with slide-outs and front trunks. But they work fine under virtually any paved road conditions with 12 foot, low wall pups NOT equipped with slide-outs and front trunks. They just may require a decent wdh. Much like a standard half ton pickup really ought to have a wdh for any camper over 4,500#. Half tons also become pretty marginal when approaching their nominal rated capacities. If anything, the 3,500# rated vehicles are more realistically rated than most half ton pickups are on a proportioned basis.
