Honda SUVs Towing Capacity
Honda's award-winning SUV lineup consists of highly versatile vehicles that provide ample towing capacity for whatever work or play you may have in mind. From the two-row CR-V and Passport to the three-row Pilot, there's a Honda SUV that boasts a roomy cabin for your crew plus a stellar tow rating for your trailering needs.
Let's take a look at the latest Honda SUVs and each model's towing capacity to see which version might be right for you.
CR-V
Honda's versatile and popular new CR-V two-row crossover SUV boasts impressive towing capabilities for its class. This compact-turned-midsize SUV offers a maximum tow rating of 1,500 pounds across every trim level. What's even better is that whether you opt for the available Real Time AWD™ or stick with the standard two-wheel drive (2WD), you'll have the ability to tow up to 1,500 pounds with complete confidence.
| Honda CR-V Trims | LX | Special Edition | EX | EX-L | Touring |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Towing Capacity | 1,500 lbs (2WD or AWD) |
1,500 lbs (2WD or AWD) |

Passport
Motorists who step up in size to the larger Honda Passport will gain significant towing capabilities over the already impressive CR-V lineup. The new Passport offers two separate tow ratings, depending not on the trim level but the drive type. However, the top-trim Elite comes standard with AWD and therefore gets the Passport's top tow rating as standard as well.
See a breakdown of the new Honda Passport SUVs and their tow ratings below:
