Expert Answers about Honda HR-V


  • Kuat Transfer or Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack on 2020 Honda HR-V?
  • The Curt Hitch # C11416 for your 2020 Honda HR-V is a Class I hitch with a 200 tongue weight capacity. For that reason, the Yakima HoldUp # Y02445 is actually not compatible with this hitch since it is designed for Class II 1-1/4" hitch receivers. They did that because it can carry heavy electric bikes of up to 60 lbs each. 120 lbs of bike weight plus the 50 lbs rack weight can come close to maxing out Class I hitches. Either way, I would still prefer the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU74FR for...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2017 Honda HR-V Behind Class C Motorhome
  • We can help you equip your 2017 Honda HRV for flat towing behind your motorhome, and there are a number of different parts you will need in order to do this. For base plates I recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 kit # RM-521570-5 that you referenced. This bracket will accommodate any Roadmaster motorhome-mounted tow bar. I recommend their Falcon 2 tow bar # RM-520. For safety cables use # RM-643. For a lighting kit I suggest an inexpensive magnetic light kit like # PE26UR or # TL21RK; these...

  • Quietest Roof Rack and Bike Carrier Recommendation for 2018 Honda HR-V
  • Since you do not want to have your backup camera view obstructed and do not want to cut the rear heat shield your best option is a roof rack mounted bike carrier solution. The most aerodynamic (and silver), roof rack option we have is the Thule Aeroblade Edge Roof Rack part # TH7602-TH7603 and # THKIT4067 which attaches to the flush rails you have on the vehicle roof. This will be the quietest option for two reasons. One being the aerodynamic shape of the crossbars and the other being...

  • Will the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack Fit a 2016 Honda HR-V
  • We now have a trailer hitch for your HR-V # 306-X7322 that has a 2" opening that can carry up to 300 pounds, so you could carry up to 4 bikes as long as you stayed in the weight limit. I recommend the Thule Hitching Post # TH934XTR. I included a video for you to check out. The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack # HRF2-3 that you referenced is also a method to carry your bikes that is confirmed to fit your HR-V. This bike rack is almost universal for all vehicles as it was built...

  • Will An Ancheer Electric Bike Fit On A Kuat Beta Bike Rack
  • The Kuat Beta Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # B202-114 has a 40lb per bike capacity so your specific model will need to weigh less than 40lbs. Based on the designs I've seen for the Ancheer brand you'll most likely also need to use an adapter bar # UB01 to keep your bike level while mounted on the rack. Without more information on your specific Ancheer bike model I don't see any other reasons why you wouldn't be able to use the Kuat Beta.

  • Recommended Roof Rack For a 2022 Honda HR-V With Flush Mounted Side Rails
  • For your 2022 Honda HR-V I recommend the Rhino-Rack RVP Roof Rack # RR55QJ. This rack allows you to mount directly to your side rails on your roof. The feet already include matching locks to secure them to your roof and the design gives you a clean factory look without the crossbars sticking past the feet. The elliptical design helps to reduce wind noise and the integrated channel provides additional mounting points for several accessories.

  • Roof Rack and Assisted Paddleboard Carrier Recommendation 2019 Honda HR-V with Flush Rails
  • Thule did completely change their roof rack designs recently so there definitely isn't a way to adapt your old rack to fit your 2019 Honda HR-V with flush rails. The Rhino Rack RVP roof rack part # RR55QJ is a confirmed fit for your vehicle though and would be a great option unless you wanted an assisted board carrier like you mentioned. Assisted carriers need a rack that has bars that overhang past the feet of the rack like with the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA118S-2, # RRRCL4,...

  • 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Rack That Allows Rear Access for a 2017 Honda HRV EX
  • The Saris Bones 3, part # SA801BL is a confirmed fit for the 2017 Honda HRV, however, I can't recommend opening the rear hatch with the Saris Bones or any trunk rack installed. The weight of the rack can cause the hatch to either close without warning or fall off when the hatch is open, causing damage to the bikes, rack, or vehicle. If you decide to go with the Bones I recommend a 10 foot Cable Lock, part # e98891 to improve the security of the rack and a Swagman Frame Adapter, part...

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2016 Honda HR-V
  • For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C56284. From there you would need to convert the 4-way...

This hitch is made from all recycled materials, is made in the USA, and has a hidden crosstube so it will be less visible too which is nice.

  • Will the Rhino-Rack Custom Fit Kit for Naked Roofs Loosen Up Over Time?
  • The clamps on the Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs # DK454 for the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for the Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA & # RRVA118B-2 may loosen over time although this can be easily fixed by just re-tightening the Allen bolt inside the legs. There has not been any prominent reports of this happening, but if you're concerned about it you could just check the legs on your crossbars to see if they've loosened up every so often. Also, with your...

  • The Swagman Chinook 2 Bike Platform Rack # S64683 referenced in your question will work great on your 2016 Honda HR-V with a Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch installed. This particular carrier will fit both 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch trailer hitch receivers, so there will be no compatibility issues with the hitch receiver on your vehicle.

  • Does Yakima EasyTop Universal Fit Roof Rack # Y07418 Fit 2018 Honda-V
  • Actually the Yakima EasyTop Universal Fit Roof Rack # Y07418 that you referenced comes with straps so you would not need to pick out a set. We do not have a way to get you the roof rails that run front to back on your 2018 Honda HR-V but if you wanted a roof rack with crossbars that run from left to right the Rhino Rack roof rack part # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK454 would be a great option that is confirmed to fit. This rack has aero shaped bars to minimize wind noise and is much...

  • Hitch Recommendation for a Honda HR-V With Front Wheel Drive
  • For your 2021 Honda HR-V with front wheel drive, you will definitely want to go with the Curt # C11416.This is a great hitch for your HR-V. The Curt # C11416 technically does not need the stabilizing strap # 18050, but the installation instructions say that you must use it, so I would. It does give more support when a bike rack or cargo carrier is used. You could also go with an anti-rattle device like the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061-125 as well. This will clamp the rack or carrier...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Honda HR-V
  • For your 2018 Honda HR-V the hitch I would recommend is the Curt part # C11416 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. IIf you use this hitch for a non-towing application like a bike rack or cargo carrier, you will need the stabilizer strap # 18050. This is required by Curt. For trailer wiring you'd then want the # 118673 which is a confirmed fit and our most reliable option. For a ball mount you'd want the part # 3593, 2 inch hitch ball part # 19258, or 1-7/8 inch # 19256.

  • Best Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2019 Honda HR-V
  • The best trunk mount bike rack for your 2019 Honda HR-V is hands-down the Yakima FullBack: - 2-Bike # Y02634 - 3-Bike # Y02633 This rack not only looks great and is easy to use, but it's also one of the easier trunk racks on the market to install. It only uses 4 straps for the installation instead of 6 like what you see with a lot of other racks. I've personally used a handful of the trunk mount racks we carry and I can honestly say this would be the one I would buy if I were to purchase...
