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

When I travel to other countries I see all sorts of compact cars/small SUV's towing TT's, PUP's. They seem to be doing just fine, even on the Autobahn. I have come to believe we over think this subject in the US. Just look at tow ratings outside the US on the same vehicles. Once again, if you don't have a 1 ton dually, you can't tow anything more than a utility trailer. How well trained we have become here, like sheep.

Seeing a small car in Europe towing a decent trailer can lead a yank to such conclusions. However, EU travel trailers are made with the axles closer to the TV, which reduces tongue weight. and towing speed limits are generally much lower than the US as well. That allows for smaller vehicle to tow but the same setup here in the US would have you white knuckling the whole way.
