Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2013 Honda CR-V for Bike Rack

Question

Question:

I have a 2010 X3 BMW with a trailer hitch, I only use it for holding up to 4 bikes with a Tule swing bike rack. I am purchasing a 2013 Honda CRV and is there any way the hitch will fit that vehicle? I appreciate your help.

BMWs and Hondas are very different vehicles so you would need a different hitch for the 2013 Honda CR-V to carry your Thule bike rack. You would want the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75742 as this is a 2 inch hitch confirmed to fit your vehicle that would work well with your bike rack.

I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
