Expert Answers about Honda CR-V


  • 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...

  • Recommended Thule Kayak Carrier for 2018 Honda CR-V
  • We do have a solution for you, but the Compass wouldn't be a good choice. The Thule # TH890000 Compass is an awesome Kayak carrier, but it only has a 75 lb weight capacity for a single kayak, so I'm afraid your Hobie Mirage Outback (I think you meant to say Outback, not Outlook) would be too heavy, as it weighs a minimum of 85 lbs. The Yakima JayLow # Y04073 would be a better choice because of its 130 lb weight capacity. The foot of each J-style carrier has a built in ramp that makes...

  • Trailer Wiring for 2017 Honda CR-V with Draw Tite Hitch
  • For your 2017 Honda CR-V the trailer wiring harness I recommend is the Tekonsha part # 118741. This is the easiest to install and most reliable option. It will work great with the Class III hitch # 76128 that you have planned to install on the vehicle as well. I attached an install video for the hitch and the wiring kit to this page also. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or...

  • Can You Carry a Motorcycle On the Back Of a 2015 Honda CR-V
  • The class III trailer hitch options which are the highest available for a 2015 Honda CR-V such as the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98868 which is what I recommend have a 3,500 lb gross trailer weight rating and a 350 lb tongue weight rating. That said, the 2015 Honda CR-V is only rated for 1,500 lb gross trailer weight and 150 lbs tongue weight. In regards to towing/hauling, you are always limited by your weakest rated component which in case is the vehicle so that you limit....

  • Roof Rack for 2018 Honda CR-V for Carrying Cargo Box and Tips for Finding Installer
  • To mount a cargo box like the Cargo Top part # CTC-18S that you mentioned on your 2018 Honda CR-V does require a roof rack first. A really great option for a roof rack is the Thule Wingbar Evo roof rack that consists of part numbers # TH711420, # TH710501, and # TH145046 which installs easily and gives you the most aerodynamic roof rack that fits your vehicle. This means you'd have minimalized wind noise when compared to other options out there. I know you are wanting someone to help...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2017 Honda CR-V With Naked Roof
  • There is a really good option for a roof rack that is not difficult to install and will fit perfectly on your 2017 Honda CR-V with a naked roof, and I highly recommend going with Rhino-Rack. I really like the Rhino-Rack option because not only is it strong, quiet, and durable, it offers a better value because it is more economical than similar brand roof racks while not sacrificing anything in terms of quality. The parts that make up the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for your 2017 CR-V with a...

  • Is All Terrain Style of Tow Bar Worth Extra Cost for Flat Towing
  • All terrain tow bars essentially are ones with telescoping arms and the ability to twist between the shank and the arms which basically allows the tow bar to more easily connect to a set of base plates. Otherwise you have to have the tow vehicle and the towed vehicle perfectly level and perfectly square to get the arms of the tow bar to connect. Even if you don't plan to tow to an off road area this style of tow bar across the board will be easier to use. The Blue Ox Alpha part # BX7420...

  • Recommended Roof Rack To Use Thule Hullivator On 2015 Honda CR-V
  • In order to use the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier part # TH898 on a 2015 Honda CR-V I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar System part # TH711420, part # TH460R, and part # THKIT3118. The Thule WingBar System is a top of the line option with some of the quietest crossbars on the market. The system installs into fixed factory mounting points so it will have a very clean install look. The crossbars are 53" long so you will have plenty of overhang for the Thule Hullavator. If you...

  • Troubleshooting Curt T-Connector C55336 In 1997 Honda CR-V Suddenly Not Working
  • The yellow and green wires on the Curt T-Connector # C55336 you have installed in your 1997 Honda CR-V should have power when the brake lights, left, or right turn signal in your vehicle are on. If you are not getting power on the 4-way connector when these functions are on and you have already confirmed the fuses for the trailer lights are not blown then remove the harness all together and look for any debris that could have made its way into the connector. Next reinstall the connector...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2009 Honda CR-V
  • I have a great trunk mounted bike rack I can recommend for your 2009 Honda CR-V but Thule actually does not list any of their racks as fits for your vehicle. The trunk rack I recommend the highest though is the Yakima Fullback part # Y02634 as this is a very robust rack, has a wide pad where the rack touches the vehicle paint which allows the weight of the bikes to be evenly distributed, is very adjustable which makes loading/unloading bikes and install and uninstall of the rack very easy,...

  • Replacement Install Hardware Recommendation for etrailer.com Hitch for 2017 Honda CR-V
  • You can order the replacement install hardware you need for the etrailer.com hitch # E98848 that you have with our part number # RHK. On the product page you'd need to enter the part number E98848 and select etrailer as the manufacturer and we'll set you up with the correct hardware! Hitch hardware is considered one time use so the old hardware getting thrown away might have been doing you a favor.

  • Most Hidden Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Honda CR-V
  • The most hidden trailer hitch we have for your 2019 Honda CR-V is the etrailer.com hitch part # e98848 which I recommend for you. Only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper so not only is it the most hidden but it will give you the best ground clearance. For trailer wiring the Tekonsha kit part # 118741 would be the kit you'd want too. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch, Bike Rack, Roof Rack, and Snowboard Carrier For 2015 Honda CR-V
  • We have exactly what you are looking for! Starting with the trailer hitch receiver for your 2015 Honda CR-V I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver #75742 you were looking at due to it having the highest tongue weight rating at 525lbs making it plenty strong for carrying a bike rack and the 4500lb trailer weight rating will be perfect for some light duty local towing. For towing a trailer you will also need a vehicle wiring harness # 118561 and hitch ball, ball mount, and hitch...

  • Best Solution For Reducing Rear End Sag On a 2024 Honda CR-V
  • Adding the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs # AL98WQ to the rear suspension on your 2024 Honda CR-V will allow you to control the rear end sag. The air springs allow you to add air into the bags which presses into the gaps between the springs pushing them back apart and reducing how much they compress. If you pair this with the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System # AL25980 you will be able to wirelessly control the air pressure going into the springs so you can dial in the ride quality...

  • Can Stop/Turn Circuit be Used for Stoplight Circuit for Supplemental Braking System
  • Since the stop light circuits you mentioned wanting to tap into also carry the turn signal circuit you cannot use them for the brake light activation of your supplemental braking system. You'd need to tap into a dedicated stoplight circuit which you'd find at the brake pedal. Use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test the wires that run to the brake pedal switch till you find one that only has voltage when the brakes are applied.

  • Aero Roof Rack Recommendation for 2020 Honda CR-V with Naked Roof
  • For your 2020 Honda CRV with no existing rails, I recommend the Yakima CoreBar Crossbars. These are aerodynamic bars but unlike similar aluminum options, they're made out of heavy duty steel so you get the best of both worlds: a quieter ride with a strong, durable construction. Since you have a naked roof, you'll need a set of BaseLine Towers to attach the bars, along with BaseClips for the front and back which are custom made to perfectly fit the roof line of your 2020 CRV. The included...

  • Recommended Parts For Flat-Towing 2014 Honda CR-V With Reese Tow Bar
  • We do have just what you are looking for to tow your 2014 Honda CR-V. I recommend the Roadmaster Base Plates, part # RM-521567-4. Since you said you have the Reese Tow Bar 74950, you will also need the adapter that allows you to use the Roadmaster base plates, # RM-521567-4 with your tow bar. To order the adapter you will need part # RM-025. If you plan on using the removable Roadmaster brackets you will also need the Quick Disconnect Kit, part # RM-201. To wire the lighting on your...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2010 Honda CR-V With Tow Daddy Tow Bar Wiring
  • The Tow Daddy flat towing harness you have installed on your 2010 Honda CR-V wouldn't interfere with the trailer wiring harness part # 118427 that is recommended for your vehicle. The two use different installation ports on your vehicle so they would work just fine. The Tow Daddy would plug inline with your taillights and the # 118427 plugs into the taillight wiring port of your vehicle. See the install video I attached.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid
  • The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98848 is what I recommend for a 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid. This trailer hitch features a bolt-on installation with no drilling required. It has a 2" opening with class III rating that is great for towing or use with hitch mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. It has a hidden crosstube so all you'll see is the receiver. Please note, if you'll be using the trailer hitch for towing then you'll also need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness...
