Who understands CVT transmissions?

I have a late model Corolla with a CVT transmission. I love the car!

But I don't really understand how the transmission would behave when towing a trailer. Not huge weight, the car is too light for that sort of thing. More a case of a dinghy or a dirt bike on a small-ish trailer.

I don't want to drive a few hundred miles with the transmission slightly slipping the whole way. Or does the "push" belt just find a ratio it's comfortable with and sit there without any undue grief to the transmission?

What are your thoughts and thanks.
