Expert Answers about Honda CR-V


  • Is the Saris Bones 2 a Good Bike Rack for a Cross-Country Road Trip on My 2008 Honda CR-V?
  • Yes, the Saris Bones 2 # SA805BL is a great bike rack for cross-country trips. The 6 adjustable nylon straps with ladder lock buckles secure the rack to your trunk securely for long travel. As far as the placement of the best placement of the two bottom feet on your 2008 Honda CR-V, Saris recommends that the lower feet should be placed on the license plate well instead of the bumper. If the rack is not positioned in the license plate well, the rack will be off-balance. Also, in order to...

  • Will the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap Work on a 2012 Honda CR-V
  • The recommended strap connection point for the Curt Support Strap, part # 18050, is at the bottom of your tailgate on your 2012 Honda CR-V. You can simply wrap the strap around your bike rack then insert the hook facing up into the bottom lip of the hatch and then tighten the strap so the bike rack is being pulled to the rear of the vehicle.

  • Yakima FrontLoader Bike Rack Interferes with Opening Rear Hatch on 2014 Honda CR-V
  • First, if possible, you can try moving the crossbars more forward on the roof of your 2014 Honda CR-V. That will move the FrontLoader, # Y02103, more forward and could solve the problem. Cutting the rack will void its warranty and could cause rack failure. You can place the rack on the roof backwards if you wanted to. That is an acceptable way to mount the rack.

  • Will Roadmaster Blackhawk 2 Tow Bar Work with Roadmaster Base Plates for a 2010 Honda CR-V
  • Yes, the Blackhawk 2 All Terrain tow bar will fit the XL base plates # RM-521559-4 for the 2010 Honda CR-V. Since you have already been flat towing, you probably already have safety cables but in case you do need cables use # RM-645. These are straight cables that you can use in the cable guides on the Blackhawk tow bar. You will also need lighting for the CR-V. If you are using a magnetic kit like # RM-2120 or something similar then you can continue to use that with the CR-V. If you want...

  • There are replacement arms available for a Roadmaster Falcon # RM-522 tow bar that will work with your Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit # 1528-3, though the arms would not be needed with a new tow bar. But there is the Replacement Driver Side Outer Bar for Roadmaster Falcon & Falcon 2 # 910021-12 as well as the Replacement Passenger Side Outer Bar for Roadmaster Falcon & Falcon 2 # 910021-22.

  • Selecting The Correct Trailer Hitch Ball Mount For a 2020 Honda CR-V
  • Honda list the ground clearance of the 2020 Honda CR-V all wheel drive trims at 8.2" and the front wheel drive trims at 7.8". It is really hard to recommend a ball mount rise height without knowing the coupler height for the trailer. It is important to remember when calculating rise or drop this is done based on the measurement to the inside top of the receiver. This should be around 13-1/2" based for an AWD CR-V with the Draw-Tite Receiver # 76128 we installed it on in our shop. I like...

  • Best Trailer Hitch for 2018 Honda CR-V That Does Not Require Cutting of Bumper Fascia
  • There is a Class III trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver that will not require you to cut the bumper fascia on your 2018 Honda CR-V, the Draw-Tite # 76128. The reason why is because the Draw-Tite models has a visible crosstube, as you can see by the accompanying photo of the Draw-Tite installed on a 2018 Honda CR-V. Its counterpart from Curt, the Class III # C13397, has a hidden crosstube and cutting the bumper fascia is necessary so the receiver has a place to extend out from the bumper.

  • Can Hitch Adapter be Used for Thule Bike Rack When Hitch Receiver is 1" From Hitch Pin Hole
  • We have a few different things to address but ultimately the best scenario for you is to swap out your hitch receiver for one that has the appropriate spacing like the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e98848. It looks like you're using a hitch adapter like the Brophy # HTAD to fit the Thule Helium Pro # TH9042PRO to your 2019 Honda CR-V. When I reached out to Brophy they said that you are good to go, however Thule has made it clear in their instructions that using any of their bike racks with...

  • Can Crossbars From Older Vehicle Be Reused on 2017 Honda CR-V
  • It'll depend on the type of crossbar and how old it is. If it's a square bar that does NOT have the slots in the underside, the crossbar is obsolete and wouldn't be compatible with the feet available today. You'd unfortunately need a whole new rack system. If it does have the slots on either end of the underside of the bar, you can replace the feet and fit kit mentioned below, and reuse the bars. The Square Bar roof for a 2017 Honda CR-V is made from the following: 53 Inch Square Crossbar,...

  • Fit of Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier on 2011 Honda CRV w/ Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch 87440
  • The Hidden Hitch 87440 was discontinued and replaced with the Draw-Tite # 75547 which is the same design so you will have measurement of 3 inches from the hitch pin hole to the outer bumper. The 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 450 lbs # M2205 has a distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the carrier of 14 inches when in use and 12 inches when folded up. It will absolutely fit on your 2011 Honda CR-V with your Hidden Hitch....

  • Class III Trailer Hitch for 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid
  • Although Curt doesn't list it as a fit, our install team and many of our customers have confirmed that the # C13397 will fit your vehicle. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # 118741, a ball mount like # 2753 and a trailer ball like # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball. I've linked to install videos that you might find helpful.

  • Are etrailer Base Plates Compatible with a Roadmaster Stowmaster Tow Bar
  • I have a solution for you, but the etrailer Base Plates # e98955 are not compatible with a Roadmaster Stowmaster # RM-501 tow bar; the Stowmaster is only compatible with Roadmaster EZ, EZ2, EZ4, XL, and Classic vehicle specific base plates. For this reason, in order to use the Roadmaster Stowmaster # RM-501 you will need to use the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521567-4 on your 2013 Honda CR-V. This tow bar and base plate kit does not come with safety cables,...

  • Will The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13397 Fit The 2024 Honda CR-V?
  • I was able to verify through Curt their Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13397 has been confirmed by them to fit on your 2024 Honda CR-V EX-L. While we have not yet had one of the redesigned CR-V's in our shop for an installation video with the Curt receiver we have several reviews for this receiver being installed and fitting on the 2023 model year.

  • Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack System for 2023 Honda CR-V with Flush Rails
  • It looks like the Thule Evo Flush Rail foot kit is 710600 but this is for the EU Thule line. For a North American 2023 Honda CR-V you need a different foot pack (710601). For a complete Thule roof rack you need the following: - 50" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711320 - Evo Flush Rail Feet # TH710601 - Fit Kit # TH52KE - Lock Core Kit # TH450400

  • Will etrailer e98848 Class III Hitch Interfere w/ Hands Free Rear Liftgate Function 2018 Honda CR-V
  • From what Curt tells us, the hands-free liftgate feature will most likely not function with the # e98848 hitch installed. Some folks say the feature still works, but only on one or two specific spots, but we've also heard from folks where it won't work at all. Obtaining the # 08U59-TLA-100A from your local Honda dealer will be your best bet to ensure the liftgate feature works without problems. When trimming the rear fascia, be very careful not to accidentally cut the wires leading to...

  • Will Konig Self-Tensioning Tire Chains Fit 2018 Honda CR-V With 235/60-18 Tires
  • Good questions, and it is peculiar to me that Honda would recommend a specific manufacturer and model, particularly since they are cables. Because (and pardon my bluntness) snow cables stink. They are mostly a one-time use that are something to have "just in case." So, to answer your questions, you can put tire chains on your 2018 Honda CR-V with 235/60-18 tires, and an excellent choice are the Konig chains you referenced: - Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains # TH01594247 These...

  • Will the Thule Hullavator Work w/ a Honda OEM Roof Rack w/ Crossbars That Don't Extend Past the Feet
  • No, the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs # TH898 will not work with your Honda OEM roof rack. The reason for this is that the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs # TH898 requires a roof rack where the crossbars extend 4"-8" past the roof rack feet. For your Honda OEM roof rack, I recommend the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier and TelosXL Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs # MPG114MD-351XL. This will provide you with a J-Style kayak carrier...

  • 2015 Honda CR-V Draw-Tite Hitch Compatible with 2020 Honda CR-V
  • I did some research and unfortunately the Draw-Tite hitch off your 2015 Honda CR-V will not fit your 2020 Honda CR-V due to Honda's changes to the rear and it's new bolt pattern. However, the Draw-Tite MaxFrame # 76128 will fit all Honda CR-V model years from 2017 to current year, excluding the hybrid.
