To answer your first question: Yes, the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack, product # c18085, is a good alternative to the Swagman Chinook, part # S64683. I've linked a review of the Curt rack that we have. This rack can fit both 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch receivers, so it will work with your hitch.
The Chinook does have a few features that put it above the Curt, such as the sliding wheel cradles and the dedicated anti-rattle lock pin. Still, the Curt is a good option. And, one of those shortcomings... view full answer...
I would not be concerned about the Hollywood Racks Precision-clamping system failing. The hooks use a large spring to compress the hooks to the upright mast and provide a grip that is just as strong as the ratcheting hooks of the Swagman XTC-2 bike rack,# S64670.
The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Bike Rack, # HR1450Z, that you referenced and the Swagman XTC-2 and comparable bike racks with a slight edge going to the SE2. The main difference is the folding ability of the SE2 and the... view full answer...
Both the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 # HR1450Z and the Swagman XTC-2 # S64670 use a slide or ratcheting hook that secures over the top of the bike cross bar. Both hook styles have padding and both use an incremental adjustment system.
Each system minimizes bike movement the manufacturers had a slightly different interpretation of how to implement this feature. The Swagman system is able to be adjusted in a downward position with out releasing the latch. The Hollywood Racks will not... view full answer...
The ST205/75R14 tires like # AM10235 are 26.3 inches outer diameter. Where the ST205/75R14 ties like # TTWTRTM2157514D are 27 inches outer diameter. So there is even some variety in the same size tires even within radials which can be a little frustrating when you have a specific clearance. Bias tires work the same way. If you let me know your current diameter, I can help you with a specific recommendation.
When looking at the difference between them, bias tires have support thread... view full answer...
Both the etrailer # e98848 and Draw-Tite # 76128 hitch receivers feature a 2 inch receiver and require no drilling for installation.
However, the # e98848 offers a more concealed look, which also means the installation is a bit more involved. The finish on the etrailer hitch is a matte black powder coat as opposed to the e-coat base and more of a glossy powder coat finish of the Draw-Tite. If you're taking it to a shop or you're mechanically inclined, and aesthetics are important to you,... view full answer...
The difference between the Gray # SS2519PCGY and Misty Gray # SS2519PCCT Covercraft SeatSaver Seat Covers is that the Gray is a more traditional Gray while the Misty Gray is a slightly faded Gray.

Both the Tow Ready # TR118821 and the Hopkins # HM56300 serve the same purpose, allowing the lights on your flat towed vehicle to operate in tandem with those of the the RV. The difference is that the Hopkins wiring harness is a plug and play installation, while the Tow Ready harness would require cutting and splicing into the existing factory taillight wiring harnesses.
Because this harness wires your Honda CR-V as a combined system, a brake light relay (RM-88400 - sold separately) may... view full answer...
Draw-Tite Does not require the use of a stabilization strap with non-trailer loads such as a bike rack or cargo carrier on their hitches like part # 75742. It might be a good idea to use one though if you are loading a bike rack or cargo carrier close to the tongue weight capacity of the hitch, vehicle or bike rack/cargo carrier, whichever is rated lowest
Curt requires the use of a stabilization strap, # 18050, for any non-trailer loads such as a bike rack or cargo carrier. The strap... view full answer...
The comparison of the Curt Class III 2-Inch Hitch, part # C13119, and the Draw-Tite Class III 2-Inch Hitch, part # 75742, for the 2013 Honda CRV is very similar. The tongue weight difference of 350 lbs for the Curt and 525 lbs for the Draw-Tite would be one of the biggest differences.
Also, if you will be using the hitch to haul a hitch accessory like a bike rack or cargo carrier, the warranty on the Curt hitch does require the use of a stabilizing strap like the Curt Support Strap, part... view full answer...
It looks like you were checking out the Rhino-Rack roof rack options for your 2021 Honda CR-V with a bare roof. In this case the only difference is the color of the crossbars that come with the kit. These are available in black or silver so it just depends on what kind of look you want to add to your CR-V. Here is the list of parts you'll need for either option:
54" Vortex Crossbars # RRVA137B-2
2500 Series Legs - # RRRLKVA

There are several types of supplementary braking systems for use in a vehicle being towed by a motorhome. These include direct setups like the Roadmaster BrakeMaster # RM-9160 which requires a fairly complex installation, portable electric systems like the Blue Ox Patriot # BRK2019 and the Even Brake # RM-9400, and vacuum-assist types like the Stay-IN-Play Duo # SM99251. All systems suitable for your CR-V and a helpful article with details on each type are linked for you.

In general there are more products made for the 2-inch Class III hitch type than for the 1-1/4-inch Class II. Some bike racks and other hitch-mount accessories such as cargo carriers can work with both hitch sizes but many are intended for one or the other.
Adapters are not a great idea since they change the geometry of the overall hitch/rack system; and this is why all hitch adapters will cost you half of your hitch capacity. If you used your 2-inch hitch bike rack in an adapter like... view full answer...
When the 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs, part # C18110, is installed on your 2004 Honda CR-V you will be able to open the rear door on your 2004 Honda CR-V when the carrier is empty. Unfortunately, the Viking Solutions Tilt-N-Go II Hunting Cart and Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitch Mount - Steel - 300 lbs, part # 310-VTG002, will not work for you. Your 2004 Honda CR-V has a rear door which opens to the right. This is towards the handle of the Viking Solutions... view full answer...
It looks like you have a naked roof on your 2018 Honda CR-V. Because of this, there is no Inno crossbar fit for your vehicle, but we do have alternate roof racks for you.
As for the Thule option, the highest capacity of any Thule combination is 110 pounds (the lowest capacity component must be used, so the 165-pound capacity feet will still be hindered by smaller capacity components).
In fact, the highest capacity of any combination available for your vehicle is 165 pounds. That is why... view full answer...
Both of the Curt hitch-mount folding cargo carriers # C18151 and (Discontinued) C18153 fit in a 2-inch hitch and offer a 500-lb loaded cargo weight capacity.
The primary differences are the carriers' weights and the type of shank on the carriers. Part # C18151 has a shipping weight of 58-lbs while the (Discontinued) C18153 has a 70-lb shipping weight due to slightly beefier construction. It also has an angled shank that provides 2-inches of additional ground clearance, which is a good... view full answer...

Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch are both sister companies that are owned by the same parent company, Cequent Performance Products. Both hitches are identical. The hitches share the same weight capacity, installation would be the same and the quality would be equal.
If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll need the ball mount, part # 36051. You'll also need the trailer wiring harness, part # 118561 and a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19256 or a 2 inch ball, part # 19258.

All of the Yakima Rocketboxes and Skyboxes fit the factory crossbars of your 2018 Honda CR-V Touring so in that regard you are good. The Skybox NX 16 # Y95AV has 3 ribs in the lid, making it much stiffer than other roof boxes. It also has a locking handle versus the push button on the RocketBox # Y07192. They both have dual-side opening and have similar mounting hardware. Basically, the additional price of the Skybox is mostly related to the latching system of the lid. Both box styles are... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13397 is the same as the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2"# e98848 regarding measurements and rated capacities.

Looks like you really did your research! I attached two videos below of video reviews of both bike racks on the same 2018 Honda CR-V to help you compare the bike racks.
While I usually recommend the Camber # TH9056 between the two because it is lighter and easier to use, when it comes to clearance, it's the Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR that wins. In the video, you can see how there's 9-1/2" of clearance between the bumper and the closest bar on the carrier and then another two inches to... view full answer...
