Towing with a 2015 cvt corolla

Can the 2015 cvt corolla tow a 5×8u haul trailer

It all depends on how heavy it is total... In North America, Toyota advise against towing but with the same Corolla with CVT in other countries they mention 900 lbs. The rest is up to you.

Towing with Corolla.... Are you kidding me? They can barely get out of their own way, as is.

I'm towing all the time. Last thing I pulled was a big red log splitter from home Depot. That thing was 1000lb easy, one of the larger ones and had no issue. Barely felt it until breaking time but didn't exceed 45mph. One before that was a much smaller log splitter so obviously no issue there. I've got 60k on odo and still 0 issues.

Push-belt design CVT's are already random-reliability as it is. Better baby that thing & hope it makes it to at least 100-120K.

The risk would be the same, whether CVT or regular AT : torque converter damage and mostly overheating, ruining fluid. By the way, that's what pleagued those infamous first Nissan's CVT (towing or not): bad firmware heat management resulting in fluid foaming, slowly "gluing" internal components together.
