Expert Answers about Honda CR-V


  • Best Hitch For a 2021 Honda CR-V
  • The hitch that I recommend for your 2021 Honda CR-V is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848. This hitch will work with hybrid, non hybrid and touring models of the CR-V. It has a 2" receiver opening which is the most common size used for accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts for towing a trailer. This hitch features a no drill installation and nice matte black finish that will help to hide any scratches. If you plan to do any towing and do not have a wiring...

  • Tire Chain Recommendations for a 2012 Honda CR-V with 225/65R17 Tires
  • The first thing you are going to want to do is consult the vehicle owners manual to determine if chains can be used and if they can, if there are any restrictions or recommendations. On other Honda vehicles, only certain size cables can be used. So checking the owners manual will be the first step. If you can use cables then the ones that fit a 225/65-17 tire are # PW1042 that you have referenced. I also recommend the rubber adjuster # PW99 to make fitting and tensioning the chains easier. Since...

  • Economical Swing Away Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2014 Honda CR-V
  • The best priced swing away bike rack we offer is the Sportrack Ridge Swing part # SR2415. This rack can swing away when loaded to give you complete access to the rear of the vehicle. The weight capacity of this rack 140 lbs. For a hitch you would want the Draw Tite hitch part # 75742.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Honda CR-V Carrying a Bike Rack
  • Any of our Class II or Class III trailer hitches for your 2014 Honda CR-V would work for you to carry a hitch mount bicycle rack. I personally would go with the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch # 75742. This trailer hitch has a 2 inch receiver, a max gross towing weight of 3,500 pounds, and a tongue weight of 525 pounds. This tongue weight is more than enough to allow you to carry 4 bikes on a hitch mount bike rack. However, I strongly suggest checking your vehicle's max tongue weight...

  • Recommended Roof Cargo Box for 2016 Honda CR-V
  • The best roof mounted cargo box for your 2016 Honda CR-V will depend a bit on how much cargo you plan to store inside the unit. With that being said, I recommend taking a look at the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y95AV. This is a really nice cargo box that will provide you with 16 cubic feet of space. It features a dual-side-opening lid so that you can access the stored cargo from either side of the vehicle and an integrated Same Key System that will lock and secure your gear....

  • Recommended Plug-In Wiring Harness With 4-Way Connector For 2011 Honda CR-V
  • We do have a simple plug-in wiring harness with a 4-way trailer connector that is designed to fit your 2011 CR-V. I recommend the Tow Ready Wiring Harness, part # 118427. This harness simply plugs into the vehicle wiring in the rear cargo area behind the trim panel on the driver side. You simply plug in the connector, attach the white ground wire to a clean metal surface, attach the included converter, and you are good to go. I was unable to find the part number you referenced. I have...

If you needed trailer wiring as well the Tekonsha kit part # 118741 is what you'd want as well. This is easy to install and is very reliable. I attached a link to an install video.

  • 7-Way Wiring Harness and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2018 Honda CR-V
  • The first thing you need on your 2018 Honda CR-V, as far as wiring goes, is a 4-Way Flat connector. I recommend going with the Tekonsha T-One # 118741 if you don't already have one as it fits both FWD and AWD models plus it has the highest amp rating over the Curt option. Then to install a brake controller you need to install the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7. This gives you both a 4-Way and a 7-Way connector as well as all of the wiring and connectors that you need for the installation....

  • Roof Rack Solution Recommendation for 2017 Honda CR-V for Carrying Kayak
  • Foam block style carriers like the Malone Deluxe Kayak Carrier part # MPG152 are designed to fit naked roofs like what you have on your 2017 Honda CR-V but these are ideally a temporary solution. If you plan to carry the kayaks regularly you'll want a roof rack with a more solid carrier. For that we have the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK284 which would work well then with a carrier like the part # Y04073.

  • Thank you for your continued business! For your 2018 Honda CR-V AWD both the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76128 and the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e98848 you mentioned will work with the Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack # Y02443-2 with plenty of clearance so you have nothing to worry about fitment wise. Between these two hitches I recommend going with the etrailer # e98848 as it's 525lb tongue weight rating will be more than enough for the roughly 150lbs of weight you will be adding to the # Y02443-2,...

  • What Roof Basket Do You Recommend for My Factory Crossbars on My 2020 Honda CR-V?
  • For a great roof basket that will fit your 2020 Honda CR-V's factory crossbars, I recommend the Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT. The Canyon XT has a 150 pound weight capacity and will allow you to fully open your rear hatch on your vehicle while installed. For extra security, I recommend the One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450400. Also, if you need straps to secure your cargo, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Cam Buckle Cinch Straps # RRRTD35P.

  • Recommended Tow Dolly For Towing 2021 Honda CR-V FWD Behind RV
  • For your 2021 Honda CR-V FWD I recommend the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1 due to the 4250lb weight capacity being plenty for the 3350-3500lb weight of your vehicle, and it will be plenty wide for your vehicle to be able to drive on. Since the steering wheel on your CR-V does not lock you will just need to wrap the seat belt a couple times around the steering wheel and then buckle it in place. Now pull the seat belt all the way out so that as you let...

  • How to Determine if Inno Wedge 660 Will Allow Vehicle to Open Rear Hatch
  • The correct hatch clearance dimension for the Inno Wedge 660 part # INBRM660BK that you referenced is 12 inches measured from the rear crossbar center back to the rear hatch seam. At one point this dimension was different like you noticed which is why there is some different info out there. This also will fit a 24 inch crossbar spread like you have as well.

  • Parts Needed to Install Wireless Brake Controller on 2023 Honda CR-V and 23' Toyota Highlander
  • The first thing you need to add a brake controller to a 2023 Honda CR-V is a 4-way trailer wiring harness. For that you would want the Curt # C56370. Next you need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. Since there are two vehicles I would recommend installing the 7-way kit part # ETBC7L on both so that you can use a single wireless brake controller on both with the Curt Mobile Echo part # C51180. This plugs into an active 7-way and once synced to a smart phone is ready to tow. So on both...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness For 2017 Honda CR-V
  • There is no custom fit trailer wiring harness for your 2017 CR-V but we do have a solution. I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 119250KIT. This harness bypasses the factory wiring so there is no cutting or splicing into the vehicle wiring. This harness uses sensors that clamp to the wiring harness on your vehicle. The kit comes with a circuit tester to identify the right wires and will work with 2-wire, 3-wire, and vehicles with PWM and multiplex wiring.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Transmission Cooler For 2017 Honda CR-V
  • I did some research and found in the owner's manual for your 2017 CR-V, you can tow up to 1,500-lbs. As long as your trailer and kayaks do not exceed this weight capacity you should be fine when towing, but a transmission cooler is never a bad idea. I have attached a link to the transmission coolers we offer you can check out. I also attached a helpful article about coolers you can take a look at. You want to make sure you have enough space to install a cooler on your CR-V. The ideal...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Honda CR-V Carrying Multiple Kayaks
  • Even though your roof rack is rated for 165lbs you will want to check to see that your roof's capacity is equal to the combined weight of the roof rack plus your kayaks. We typically recommend a kayak carrier like the Yakima # Y04073 for any kayaks over 10 feet. The Rhino Roof Rack # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK284 is a fit for your CR-V. It sounds like the noise of traveling with a roof rack has been an issue for you before, because of Rhino Rack's aero dynamic design and vortex...

  • Kayak Carrier and Load Assist for 48 Pound Kayaks on 2010 Honda CR-V
  • The Thule SquareBar Roof Rack for your 2010 Honda CR-V, which consists of # TH712200 for the two 47" SquareBar Crossbars, # TH460R for the Podium Feet, and # THKIT3042 for the Fit Kit has a weight capacity of 165 pounds. I went ahead and pulled up the online version of the owner's manual for your CR-V and it also lists a matching 165 pound capacity for the roof itself. This just means that even if you were to go with a higher-rated roof rack option, 165 pounds is still going to be the...

  • Can Curt Echo Brake Controller part # C51180 Be Installed on 2002 Honda CR-V
  • As long as you have a 7-way trailer wiring connector at the rear of your 2002 Honda CR-V that has all trailer lighting functions active and an active 12 volt accessory circuit the Curt Echo Mobile brake controller part # C51180 is going to work well. If you didn't have wiring you'd first need to start with a 4-way like the Tekonsha part # 118336 which is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and then you'd have to adapt it to a 7-way with the part # 37185. You'd need to run the black wire...
