Helpful Expert Reply:
The actual towing capacity of your 2015 Honda CR-V, which is 1,500 lbs according to the owner's manual, will not decrease with the angle of the boat ramp when using a hitch such as the Curt # C13119, though towing a trailer of any kind can result in higher transmission temperatures. If you plan on towing often, I recommend using a supplemental transmission cooler such as the Derale # D13502.
Also, please keep in mind the use of Curt hitch # C13119 is going to require the use of stabilizing straps # 18050 with all non-trailer accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers in order to maintain the warranty. I've added a link to a demonstration video which shows you how the straps are used.
I've also added links to video reviews and installs of the hitch and transmission cooler for you to take a look at.
