Expert Answers about Honda HR-V


  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2018 Honda HR-V 2WD for Carrier and Scooter
  • For your 2018 Honda HR-V, I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7322. This is the only 2 inch receiver we have compatible with your vehicle and you will need a 2 inch receiver for most carriers compatible with a scooter. This hitch will have a 300 lb tongue weight rating, so your 73 lb carrier and 81 lb scooter will get you to 254 lbs of your 300 lb total capacity so it will work well. Any of the 1-1/4 inch receivers would not be able to work...

  • 2 inch Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Honda HR-V for Carrying Bike Rack
  • EcoHitch makes a 2 inch hitch that fits your 2019 Honda HR-V, for that you'd want the part # 306-X7322 and you'd be able to carry your 2 inch bike rack with your HR-V. 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.

  • Ball Mount with 4 or 5 Inch Rise for a 1-1/4 InchCurt Hitch on a 2016 Honda HR-V
  • For the Curt hitch # C11416 the recommended ball mount is # C45521 which is 7-1/4 inches long. So as far as length goes the average on the recommended mounts is about 7 inches but it can be longer. The rise on these recommended ball mounts isn't enough though. For a 4 inch rise you could use # 3594. For a 5 inch rise use # 36065. And for either ball mount you can use # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 19258 for a 2 inch ball. For a trailer wiring harness you can use # 118673 to add a...

  • Compatibility of Kuat KU64FR Transfer 1 Bike Rack with EcoHitch KU64FR on 2018 Honda HR-V
  • The correct EcoHitch for your 2018 Honda HR-V would be part # 306-X7322, I was unable to find the X732311/4 part number you mentioned. The EcoHitch # 306-X7322 would indeed be compatible with the Küat # KU64FR Transfer 1 bike rack.

  • Connecting Aftermarket Motorcycle Tail Light Bar to Existing Trailer Wiring
  • The Tekonsha # 118673 Wiring Harness connects your tow vehicle wiring to a 4-pole standard trailer wiring connector. Your trailer likely has custom wiring to each of it's lights. To connect this product you would need to have the wiring schematic for the MICTUNING tail light bar, and then splice into your existing trailer wiring to make your connections. You will also need to find out the amperage draw and ensure that it is compatible with the Tekonsha lighting module.

  • Replacing Dexter Idler Hub 008-258-05 with Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-257-5UC3
  • Yes, our part number system uses # 8-257-5UC3 but it is the exact same as Dexter part K08-257-91. Dexter does not limit the hub and drum assembly to 12 inch wheels so yes, you could use a 14 inch wheel with assembly # 8-257-5UC3. Since you told me which hub you have, 008-258-05, I can tell you that you have a BTR spindle. It takes inner and outer bearing L44649. The spindle diameter is slightly more than 1 inch (1.063-ish inches). No need to change the spindle since you won't need to...

  • Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2016 Honda HR-V
  • For your 2017 Honda HR-V we have the Class I- 1-1/4 inch receiver Curt hitch part # C11416 or the EcoHitch 2" receiver # 306-X7322. I recommend the EcoHitch over the Curt because it has the more popular 2" opening and more tongue weight capacity which is 300 pounds compared to the 200 pounds of the Curt. Then for a cargo carrier the Curt part # C18145 is a very popular option that can be used with either the 1-1/4 inch hitch or the 2" hitch. It would fit and work well on your vehicle...

  • Can the Solera Screen Rooms Be Used To Hold Pets Such As Cats and Dogs
  • The Solera Screen Rooms like part # LC362216 are actually quite popular play pens for animals or so it would appear as I have personally fielded many similar questions of other customers asking to do the same things. The main concern however is not the durability of the mesh for most but rather how to secure the sides to the ground so the animals cannot escape and this can be done pretty easily with just some generic tent stakes. Unfortunately, I don't have any first hard or much second...

  • Replacing Single Stage Regulator with MB Sturgis 2-Stage Regulator # 108221
  • You can indeed replace your existing single stage regulator with the MB Sturgis Horizontal 2-Stage Propane Regulator # 108221. I spoke with my contact at MB Sturgis regarding its performance in cold weather when compared to a single stage and he did say that what you read is true. This is because of the piston design that MB Sturgis uses for the 2-stage regulators that allows it to maintain the needed pressure as temperatures drop. This design is actually unique to their 2-stage units and...

  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch C11416 Require Underbody Panel Trimming on 2017 Honda HR-V AWD
  • For your 2017 Honda HR-V with all wheel drive, you will not be required to trim the underbody panel when installing the Curt Class I Round Tube Receiver Hitch # C11416 referenced in your question. This installation step is only needed on vehicles that have front wheel drive. Just note that the exhaust will need to be temporarily lowered during installation. This Class I trailer hitch has a 200 pound tongue weight capacity and 2,000 pound towing weight capacity. I have attached an installation...

  • Can I Mount Electric Bikes with Fenders on the Saris SuperClamp Bike Rack?
  • Yes, it will! The Saris SuperClamp EX 2 # SA4025F is approved for bikes with fenders by Saris. The way this works is that the front ratcheting hook needs to be clamped down on the wheel itself at the end of the front fender and that will prevent sway from the front wheel. The rear ratcheting hook is set right above the rear fender as a safety precaution. There are also wheel straps on the cradles that will provide downward force on your bike to keep it in the rack. This creates a three-...

  • Weight Capacity of Thule Aeroblade Roof Rack for a 2016 Honda HR-V
  • The Thule Aero roof rack you mentioned that consists of part numbers # TH711420, # TH710501, and # TH145175 has a weight capacity of 165 lbs. You would also need to verify the roof capacity of your 2016 Honda HR-V and be sure not to exceed the lower of the two figures as well. If you want to see an install video that shows how a similar Aeroblade roof rack installs check out the video link I attached. How the clamps attach to the door of a vehicle is shown. It may be a different vehicle...

  • Weight of Curt Trailer Hitch for 2016 Honda HR-V
  • The Curt Class I hitch, part # C11416 has a shipping weight of 19 pounds. So, the hitch weighs around 16 pounds. If you're planning on using the hitch as a mounting point for a bike rack or a cargo carrier (and you probably are), remember that Curt's warranty requirements state that a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 must be used for all non-trailer loads. I've linked you to the installation instructions for this hitch.

  • Trailer Hitch for 2016 Honda HR-V to Tow Trailer for Scooter
  • Since the hitches available for your 2016 Honda HR-V are lower in capacity like the Curt hitch # C18145 which has a tongue capacity of 200 lbs which would be too close to the weight of your scooter. Best option would be to tow a small trailer with your vehicle. To do that you'd also need trailer wiring like the Tekonsha part # 118673 and a ball mount like # C45521.

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Honda HRV
  • For your 2016 Honda HRV the Curt hitch part # C11416 has been confirmed as a fit and would work well for you. This is a Class I hitch though, with a 1-1/4" opening, and will require your bike rack to be Class I compatible and only carry a maximum of 2 bikes. It has a 200 lb tongue weight capacity and will require a stabilization strap # 18050 for unsupported loads like bike racks or cargo carrier. There is also the EcoHitch # 306-X7322 that has the more desirable 2" receiver. This hitch...

  • Best Kayak Carriers for 2017 Honda HR-V EX with Bare Roof
  • Foam block type kayak carriers like the # MPG152 from Malone and similar carriers from other makers sometimes include some tie down straps, which absolutely should be installed on both bow and stern ends of the kayaks. Since the Coastal happens to be sold without straps you will definitely need an item like the Cam Buckle Cinch Straps # E98876-2 or the 16-foot Yakima Cinch Straps # Y05006 that you referenced in your question. Using two sets of straps is not a bad idea either. Foam block...
