Replacement for Honda CR-V?

I very much like my Honda CR-V 2006 model automatic which has done 63,000 miles.
I do about 11,000 miles per year and need to tow a 1346-kg MTPLM. At what mileage do you advise I change the vehicle?

Later CR-V versions are too wide for my garage! Can you recommend a similar replacement that is no more than 2050mm wide including mirrors and 4635mm long please?

Extremely wise to get the automatic transmission fluid replaces as this will probably be burned from overheating while towing.
