Can a 2020 CRV AWD tow a Crestliner 1650 SE WT

Why do you keep repeating that you are a senior? And what is the relevance to the subject being discussed?

Adding electric brakes to a bass boat trailer should be pretty easy and it would make for a much safer towing situation. It would be awful to hit some kid because your little CRV couldn't stop a boat+trailer pushing it from behind.

I would recommend adding a surge brake kit to the trailer if you have doubts about stopping the load. Here is an example.

X2 on making sure the trailer has brakes or at least add them once you get it. I'm doubting the crv has any type of tow/haul mode so no engine braking might be an issue coming down long hills with the extra weight. Otherwise pulling it around you should have no problem with one of those lighter 16-17' boats

No it doesn't but my understanding is that CRV EX AWD is great for towing 1500 and under. And yes, definitely getting trailer with brakes! Like I said, most of the fishing will be done within 12 to 21 miles from home and if that works well. Might take it for a fishing trip a little farther out.

Well, my actual experience was with a new 4500# 2016 tow vehicle rated to tow 3500#.
I was towing 2000# with 500# of humans inside the tow vehicle.
Coming down a hill in a tourist town, 25mph, crosswalk full of people at the bottom of the hill.
Could NOT stop. Luckily the road cleared and no one was hit.

$650 was spent on trailer brakes when I got home.

You need brakes on your trailer behind a crv.

Similar scenario, but I was driving a 36' Class A Motor Home while pulling a CRV (equipped w/brakes). Seems to me that would be just about as relevant. NOT!
