Is the Honda CRV good for off roading?
At the end of the day, the Honda CR-V is more of a sporty model to zoom around town. It can go down some dirt or gravel roads, but shouldn’t be pushed to go down beginner trails. The 2020 Honda CR-V is a sporty little SUV that has the chance to compete against the RAV4, which just released an off-roading model.
Which is the lowest trim of the Honda CRV?
The lowest trim of the Honda CR-V is the LX. The Honda CR-V LX has a turbocharged 1.4-L four-cylinder engine that produces 190 hp and 179 lb-foot torque. This is enough power to get over obstacles on difficult terrains, but this SUV only comes in all-wheel drive instead of four-wheel drive.
How big of a camper can a Honda CRV pull?
The highest CR-V trim level, the Touring edition, can also only tow up to 1,500 lb, making this SUV not the best option for pulling your camper. The Honda CR-V also only sits on 17” tires, where most off-roading capable vehicles have tires that are 18” or taller.
How big is the cargo space in a Honda CRV?
One thing that helps the Honda CR-V’s capabilities is the fact that you can completely fold the seats down flat for 75.8 cubic feet of cargo space. This provides room to store a lot of awkward items like mountain bikes. The seats also have a 60/40 split.
How big is the back of a Honda CRV?
My 60-lb. dog also takes up quite a bit of room. The seats on the CR-V do not fold down flat, and only leave about 5 feet of not-quite level sleeping room. I’ve slept in the back before, with the seats folded down, and could barely fit my 5’6” on the diagonal, and it wasn’t very comfortable.
How did I make my Honda CRV more livable?
Scouring the internet, I learned that others had made their CR-Vs more livable either by building a platform over the top of the folded up back seats, or by removing the seats and building a platform. I wanted to maximize storage space for my gear, so I pulled the seats out (not easy in this version of the CR-V).
Is the Honda CRV a good camper?
The car is AWD, will go almost anywhere, and still averages 30 mpg. It runs great and still has a lot of life left, so modifying it seemed worth the effort. I often camp in dispersed sites (aka boon docking), and I’m a photographer and sound recordist, so I carry a bit of gear with me.
