  • Locking Hitch Pin for etrailer 4 Bike Rack
  • I sure can! The correct hitch lock for the etrailer 4 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches e98913 is part # e99047. This has the threaded hitch pin so you still get the anti-rattle feature out of it. If you don't already have a cable lock then I also recommend picking up the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891. If you choose the keyed alike option for both products we will make sure these match when you order them so you just need 1 key for both locks.

  • Complete Flat Towing Setup for a 2013 Honda CR-V
  • To flat tow your 2013 CR-V behind your motorhome you're going to need quite a bit of stuff. To start off you'll need a base plate kit # BX2258, which will install onto your CR-V and provides a mounting point for a set of tow bars # e47ZR. Next, you're going to need a braking system # BLU37TR with the 12 volt outlet kit # RM-9332. This part is pretty self explanatory, it's just a braking system meant to stop your towed vehicle in proportion with your motorhome. Finally, you'll need a...

  • Replacement Knob for Thule Flat Top Ski Carrier 725
  • The OEM replacement for the knob on your Thule 725 ski rack is the Replacement Thule 2-Wing Knob # 753-1897-03. The Replacement 3-Wing Hand Knob # 753-0745 you referenced will fit since it works with M6 bolts but the 2-wing knob is the direct replacement.

  • Replacement Foot End Cap for Thule Roof Rack on 2012 Honda Pilot
  • If what you have now that you need a replacement for looks like the part # 852-2382001 then I would feel confident that this is what you would need but you might go out and check again to be sure it's exactly the same. To replace the plastic lock cores with actual lock cores you would just need the part # TH450400 which comes with everything to all locks to the feet of your current rack.

  • Which Tonneau Cover for 2020 Honda Ridgeline Allows Trunk to Fully Open
  • The tonneau cover you'd want for your 2020 Honda Ridgeline that will allow the trunk to open fully is the Extang Solid Fold part # EX26UV which does not put an additional set of rails to the inside of the truck bed rails. Since the cover folds up on top of the bed rails it leaves the trunk free to open fully as it can pass the bed rails.

  • Will The Sairs Bones EX2 Damage The Roof Extension On A 2022 Honda HR-V
  • Hello Kevin. The straps on the Saris Bones EX 2 # SAR83FR will be just fine if they make contact with the roof extension on your 2022 Honda HR-V. The straps are anchored to the hatch, so most of the strain will be there instead of the roof extension. Even with the loaded weight of the bikes you will not be in danger of breaking anything. Saris actually shows an example in their instruction of this rack on a car with a similar roof extension which you can see below. The straps are designed...

  • Are Lights Submersible on CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat Trailer
  • Hi there Bob; you can definitely back into the water to launch your dinghy using the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer # CE48870. The hubs have a dust cap but aren't sealed so water can still get in them. To ensure no water gets in, I would replace that dust cap with the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB1980A-SS. As for the lights, they are fully submersible so no problem there at all, and there are no other limitations preventing the # CE48870 from getting backed into...

  • Will The Thule Pulse Large # TH615 Fit The Roof Rack On My 2023 Honda CR-V?
  • Hello Martin, thanks for providing those measurements. I can confidently say that yes, the Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box # TH615 will fit on your 2023 Honda CR-V. The Pulse Cargo Box will fit crossbar spreads between 23-5/8" - 34-3/8", so you are good there. In order for the hatch to fully open you will need at least 46-3/8" from the middle of the front crossbar to the hatch. Since you have 47 or 48", the hatch will fully open with about an inch or so to spare.

  • High Low Adapter for Flat Towing 2013 Honda CR-V
  • Hey Richard, it sounds like you are looking for a high low adapter for when you will be flat towing your 2013 Honda CR-V. So the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX2258 that fits your vehicle has a bracket height of 15-1/2 inches so you'd want an adapter that drops right at 5 inches or so. Keep in mind if you are within 3 inches of level you are okay at that point. For that the Curt part # C59KR would work great as it can provide a drop of 4 inches. We do ship to Canada as well ay.

  • Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2024 Honda HR-V
  • Hey Stephanie, the Curt hitch part # C68DR is a great hitch for a cargo carrier to be used with your 2024 Honda HR-V. For a cargo carrier you have two options. The flatter Curt part # C18110 which has a mesh floor and lower side rails or the Curt part # C18145 which has a railed bottom and a taller side rail design. These are only two options that fit this hitch size.

  • No, there is not, sorry. The only hitch that fits the 2019 Honda Civic is the Curt item # C92UR and it does not fit the ones with center exhaust.

  • Comparing Bar Versus Chain Weight Distribution Hitches For a 3,600LB Trailer
  • There are a few differences between a chain or bar weight distribution hitch. A chain weight distribution hitch like the Reese Weight Distribution System # RP66021 will not have sway control built into the system. It would require you to add either Reese Dual Cam High-Performance Sway Control # RP26002 or a Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660. The Friction sway control would have to be removed before maneuvering your trailer in tight conditions otherwise it will cause damage to the...

  • Can I Flat Tow a 2007 Honda Element LX with FWD and Automatic Transmission
  • I looked through some of my resources and from what I'm able to find the 2007 Honda Element LX with FWD and automatic transmission must be towed on a tow dolly with the front wheels up. This is very common for FWD vehicles with automatic transmissions that do not have the ability to disconnect the front drive shaft. I recommend that you confirm this information in your vehicle's owner's manual, since that is the best source of information in these cases. Since you'll need to tow your...

  • What is the Tongue Weight Capacity of the etrailer Hitch for a 2023 Honda Pilot?
  • The etrailer Hitch item # e27KR has a maximum tongue weight of 900 lbs when used with a weight distribution system. The limiting factor here is going to be your 2023 Pilot's actual tongue weight capacity. I have no information on the capabilities of the OEM hitch but you will want to go to your owner's manual or contact Honda and find out what your Pilot's tongue weight capacity is.

  • Thule Doubletrack vs Swagman Chinook for a 2017 Honda Pilot
  • I recommend going with the Swagman Chinook # S64683 over the Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT # TH92BJ strictly because the Chinook has a higher weight capacity at 45 lbs per bike as opposed to 35 lbs per bike for the DoubleTrack Pro XT. The only things that the DoubleTrack Pro XT has over the Chinook is that it has a more stylish look (in my opinion), it is made in the USA, and it weighs 15 lbs less than the alternative. With that being said, the Chinook still has a great look, it comes with...

  • 1-Bike Rack Compatible With Class I, 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch
  • Thanks for the purchase of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11416 for your 2017 Honda HR-V, and while I couldn't find exactly where it was referenced on the product page that the RockyMounts MonoRail Solo 1-Bike Rack # RKY10007 was compatible with Class I hitches, you are 100 percent correct that it is NOT compatible with a Class I, 1-1/4" hitch and requires a Class II hitch. We do have an excellent option for a 1-bike rack that I confirmed is compatible with a Class I, 1-1/4" hitch,...

  • Can 49" Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars Be Used on a 2020 Honda CR-V
  • Hey Casey, thanks for reaching out! Rhino-Rack is pretty specific with their roof rack systems and since the slots on the underside of the crossbars has limited spacing there are rarely multiple crossbar fits for any specific vehicle. If you check out the linked installation video of this kit on a 2020 Honda CR-V there isn't a whole lot of crossbar overhang so I don't see using 5" smaller crossbars to be an option. You'll want to stick with the initial kit you were looing at: - 54" Vortex...

  • Will The Blue Ox Base Plate # BX2265 Fit a 2019 Honda Civic Type R?
  • While I was able to find the Blue Ox Base Plate # BX2265 will fit the si edition I could not find any information on the Type R version of your 2019 Honda Civic. When I reached out to Blue Ox they said they have not confirmed the fitment or had any reports saying it would not fit either. You can watch our installation video which I have linked near the bottom of this page that will walk you through an installation we did in our shop. With this you will be able to see if the parts behind...
