Having started cravanning 2 years ago with a manual CR-V I was delighted to see Honda have launched an automatic 2.2 Diesel CR-V. particularly as so many recommend towing with automatics. Sadly Honda have restricted their new autos to a max of 1500kg for towing compared with the manual at 2000kg. This seems rather a drastic reduction between the auto and the manual and as our caravan is 1500kg plus I guess it will have to be the manual version! Is there usually such a big reduction on automatics' towing limits?
