Replacement Drawbar Recommendation for a 2005 Honda CR-V with a Draw-Tite # 24792
Question:
What is the measurement from the center of the pin hole to the butt of the shank? The one I am replacing has a distance of 1 1/2 inches to the butt and it cannot be any longer than that due to the receiver that I have. I am mounting this on a 2005 Honda CR V with a 1 1/4 inch Draw-Tite Hitch.

I went out into our warehouse and measured the distance from the center of the pin hole to the butt end of the shank on the Draw-Tite Drawbar 2-1/8 inch Rise or 2-3/4 inch Drop 2000 lb Kit, part # 3592, and found that it is 1-9/16 inches.
I then pulled a Draw Tite Drawbar 2-1/8 inch Rise or 2-3/4 inch Drop 2000# Kit, part # 3593, and found that it also shares the same measurement of 1-9/16 inches from center of the pin hole to the butt end of the shank.
Since the original drawbar that came in your kit was 1-9/16 inch and the # 3592 you are interested in shares the same measurement you should be okay to use a drawbar with that measurement. However, I strongly recommend you use the # 3593 because it is the same drawbar that came originally with your hitch, because the added length to the shank will add more leverage and torque on your hitch and frame when you are towing a trailer that could potentially cause damage to your hitch and/or frame.
