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...

  • 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,...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Recommended Hitch Bike Rack for 2016 Honda HR-V
  • 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. This is a great rack that will hold up to 2 bikes at 45 pounds each. It includes locks to secure the bikes to the rack and the rack to your vehicle. A great feature...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Best Roof Rack, Rooftop Cargo Box, and Kayak Carrier for 2019 Honda HR-V
  • You are obviously looking to get some use out of a roof rack system, so I first need to know if you have flush mount factory rails or not. If you do, I recommend the Thule WingBar Roof Rack that consists of # TH711220 for the two 47" WingBar Crossbars, # TH460R for the Rapid Podium Feet, and # THKIT4067 for the Custom Fit Kit. If you do not have the factory flush rails then your best option will be with the Thule WingBar system consisting of # TH711420 for the WingBar Crossbars, # TH710501...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Honda HR-V
  • We've found that there are a lot of vehicles out there that aren't rated for towing by their manufacturer yet people choose to ignore that at their own risk and do so anyway. We offer hitches for vehicles in situations like this since there is a demand for them like for your 2016 Honda HR-V. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7322 is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and would most likely be okay to tow a very light weight jet ski trailer but we can't speak...

  • 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...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2017 Honda HR-V
  • In order to flat-tow a 2017 Honda HR-V you'll need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, braking system, and wiring harness. I have attached a list of these parts for you below. Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-521570-5 Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar part # RM-676 Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit part # RM-154 Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System part # HM39524 Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass part # RM76511...

  • Hitch For Carrying Electric Bikes on 2018 Honda HR-V
  • To find a local installer, use the link on the product page for the # 306-X7322 hitch. The ecoHitch # 306-X7322 hitch you'd looked at has a tongue weight capacity of 300 lbs, which means that the combined weight of the bikes plus the weight of the rack used to carry them cannot exceed the 300 lbs. A hitch like this # 306-X7322 is capable of handling 2- 75lb bikes plus a carrier that would likely weigh more than 50 lbs. These kind of carriers are compatible with a 2 inch receiver, like...

  • Wiring Recommendation for 2016 Mercedes Sprinter to Flat Tow 2016 Honda HR-V
  • If you have the proper wiring installed on your 2016 Mercedes Sprinter the Roadmaster Diode kit part # RM-15247 would work great. This kit has been tested as a solution for your 2016 Honda HR-V so it will work great. For wiring on the Sprinter you need to start with the part # 119250KIT to give you a 4-way and then to convert it to a 7-way you would need the part # 37185. The circuit you would need to use on the HR-V for the wiring is the one that has the running light and turn signals.

  • 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...
