I need some advice on a horse trailer situation?
My dad has just bought a Honda CR-V. It can tow up to 2 tonnes. We're looking to buy a horse trailer but we're not sure about whether to get a single or double trailer. Could our car tow a double trailer with 2 15hh horses in it? Or if needs be, we would get a single one as we only have 1 horse anyway, but a double one would be more suitable but we don't mind.
Your rated towing capacity of the CR-V is LESS THAN 1-TON. 1500lbs, to be exact. That's only the weight of the trailer.
The problem of towing is two things:
- overheating and burning out your light-duty transmission
- burning your brakes and not being able to stop in time
Towing capacity is strictly based on your vehicle's ability to stop safely.
I would not recommend using the CR-V as a tow vehicle for horses.
You should be fine with a double horse trailer
Your crv will tow more… Just not legally or entirely safely… Example, I once towed a four ton tractor with a Hyundai i20… But anyway, find out how much the trailers weigh and add the weight of the horse, presumably around half a ton? Then see if it adds up and away you go!
- What's the best engine (to add horse power and torque) that i can swap into my 1999 Honda Prelude? Currently i have an H22A but i heard that the k series or even the f series are better? Is this true or should i just stick with my H22A?
- Trying to run an office trailer lights and tv w/1000 Honda EU? Generator running and no power to outlets or lights in trailer. Used RV plug and an adapter to standard 3 prong plug. Any ideas?
- How much extra horse power might I be getting for my Honda Pilot? I drive a 2003 Honda Pilot, and I have replaced the stock exhaust system with a straight pipe all the way back to a magnaflow muffler. I have also added on a spectre cold air intake. I have noticed a small increase in response time and acceleration. I was just curious if anyone has an educated guess.
- I have an eye on a few bikes, just not sure so I need some advice? My first VEHICLE was a Ninja Kawasaki 500r. I've been riding that since I was 16 and i'm now 20, so for four years. I've been looking at both a Ninja Kawasaki ZX -6r and a -10r. also looking at a Honda CBR1000RR. If you have any suggestions please comment. P.S. I'm looking for a brand new Motorcycle, I put way too much money into my current bike for what it's worth.
