Expert Answers about Honda CR-V

• Is Relocation Sensor Really Needed for Hands Free Liftgate on 2018 Honda CR-V Trailer Hitch Install
• When installing a trailer hitch on a 2018 Honda CR-V like the Draw Tite part # 76128 that you referenced Honda states that the hands free liftgate will be blocked and they do offer a relocation harness for this as the Power Liftgate Sensor Relocation Bracket as part # 08U59-TLA-100A which you'd have to get through them. That said, we've also had a few customer come back and say they were still able to operate the hands free liftgate without the harness. They just had to be very specific...

• Best Trailer Hitch on 2018 CR-V for Carrying Mountain Bikes
• Part # C13397 works for your 2018 Honda CR-V and offers a 2 inch receiver which helps you find a bike rack. Most bike racks come with a 2 inch receiver tube. The hitch and the bike rack will both be stronger as well. A good bike rack for mountain bikes is part # Y02443. This rack can hold two bikes and the weight capacity per bike is 60 pounds. This rack also is a wheel mount system so your frame will be protected from scratching. Most hanging bike racks could scratch your frame. This...

• Bike Rack Option for 2019 Honda CR-V
• Any bike rack will require some degree of lifting to seat the bike within the carrier. A hitch mounted platform type rack is definitely the right choice when being concerned about lifting height; especially if you already have a hitch installed on your 2019 Honda Cr-v. This style will require lifting the bike to less height. I suggest the hule Helium Platform XT Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount Item # TH53GC. At 43 lbs this carrier is itself a little lighter...

• Will the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier Work with a 2018 Honda CR-V
• The Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier part # M2205 will be a perfect match for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13397 on your 2018 Honda CR-V. It has an extended shank with a rise so you don't have to worry about the carrier coming into contact with the back of the vehicle or the ground. It also folds up against the vehicle while not in use. In order to prevent any rattling inside the receiver, I recommend using the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock part # 63232 which is also locking....

• Bike Rack Recommendation for 2000 Honda CR-V Which has Offset Rear Mounted Spare
• We only carry one spare tire mounted bike rack that has the ability to offset to the side for vehicles likes yours where the spare of the vehicle is not mounted in the center. For that you'd need the Thule Spare Me part # TH963PRO. I really wish we had a way to make your Surco bike rack fit better, but having the bike extend past the vehicle is not really a safe route.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Honda CR-V
• For your 2014 Honda CR-V the hitch I would recommend is the Draw Tite part # 75742 that you referenced. Reason being that with this hitch you don't have to use a stabilizer strap with non-supported loads like bike racks which is what Curt recommends. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring you'd then want the Tekonsha part # 118561 that is also a confirmed fit. Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball...

• Transmission Cooler For 2014 Honda CR-V AWD EX For Towing Trailer Across Country
• A transmission cooler will definitely help to prolong the life of your transmission and decrease the wear on your 2014 Honda CR-V while towing the utility trailer. I recommend to use the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets part # D13502 which is a popular option because of it's flat plate and fin design that allows the fluid to cool faster. Transmission coolers lower the operating temperature of the oil by up to 60 degree which can double both the life of...

• Recommended Kayak Carrier for Feelfree Lure II 14 Foot Kayak on 2017 Honda CR-V
• Your Freelfree Overdrive Lure II Tandem kayak will indeed fit on your existing roof rack. According to what I've managed to look up, the kayak weighs up to 115 lbs, which is well within the capabilities of the Yakima Jetstream roof rack you mentioned. I have the perfect carrier for you. The Yakima BigCatch # Y04091 would work great for you. Due to the width of your kayak, using a j-style carrier like the Thule # TH834 Hull-A-Port wouldn't be a good choice, but the BigCatch would allow...

• Frame Mounting Bolt Size For etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848 on a 2021 Honda CR-V
• The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848 uses four 7/16-14 1-1/4" grade 8 carriage bolts to secure the receiver to the frame. This would require the Curt Fish Wire Bolt Leader - 7/16" # C58410 if that is all you are needing. If you would like to get a new hardware kit that will include all the nuts, bolts, hole spacers, and fish wires you can order them with the Replacement Hardware Kit # RHK. Don't forget a Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118741. You will need this 4-way...

• Yakima SweetRoll & Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier Comparison
• That is a challenging question since both options are great products, varying designs of placement orientation, but each performs equally well. I am not able to provide qualitative data so this simply comes down to opinion. An advantage of the JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073 is the ability to place a second kayak aboard or roof mounted bike rack, but may not come in to play for your needs. Another thing is the ability to shift the placement toward the passenger side of vehicle influencing...

• Light-Weight Hitch Bike Rack Recommendations
• It looks like the 2020 Honda CR-V has both 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receiver options. With that in mind, I recommend the Saris Freedom, part # SA4412B, as it will fit both sizes of receivers. It weighs only 22.5 lbs. but can still support bikes up to 60 lbs. It can hold two bikes, but I chose this one for you because our single bike rack actually weighs more. Even with that, it's very slim by design as there is a single post that is used for both bikes. It's made of steel. I've linked to a...

• Comparing Curt and etrailer Hitch Receiver on 2019 Honda CR-V
• The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13397 is the same as the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2"# e98848 regarding measurements and rated capacities. The only difference is the powder coat finish. The Curt hitch has a gloss black finish where the etrailer hitch has a matte black finish. It really comes down to your preference but many people like the matte black because it draws less attention to the receiver...

• Troubleshooting Even Brake 9400 Releasing Pressurized Air
• I reached out to Roadmaster about the problem you were having with your Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System # RM-9400 and I was told that your Even Brake had a faulty exhaust valve. Their technical contact said, "When it dumps all of its air that is a good sign of a bad exhaust valve" and you would need a replacement, with the correct one being the Replacement Quick Exhaust Valve # RM-450601-50.

• What is the Height of the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Installed on a 2015 Honda CR-V
• Although we haven't installed the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # E98868 on a 2015 Honda CR-V, we have installed the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13119 on a 2015 CR-V and found that from the ground to the top of the inside of the receiver measured 14-1/4". The reason we can use the measurement of the Curt is because these 2 trailer hitches have the exact same dimensions. With this knowledge that would mean that you need a ball mount with about a 2" rise like the Curt Fusion Ball...
