CVT limitation

[ayau]

Honda has a 1,500 lbs towing capacity for the 2017+ CRV. Is CVT reliability a concern for the CRV just like it is for the CVT Civics when increasing torque?

I'm not aware of any differences between the transmissions.

I'm not aware of any differences between the transmissions.

In that case, shouldn't CR-V torque limiter set with 250 nm max torque in mind instead of 260-280 nm in +6 PSI CR-V CVT calibration?

You'd have to ask Honda that question. I would not tow with a CVT without an transmission cooler.
