• Is 2014 Honda Odyssey Rated for Use with Weight Distribution
• We have to always recommend you stick with the vehicle manufacturer when it comes to weight distribution ratings. WD systems are really great but they put quite a bit more stress on the frame and hitch of the vehicle. Heavier duty vehicles it's not a problem but for a lighter duty vehicle you'd potentially bend the hitch or the vehicle frame which would be a big deal. We have trailer hitches for your 2014 Honda Odyssey that are rated for WD systems like the Draw Tite part # 75270 but...

• Best Trailer Hitch for 2018 Honda Pilot
• The hitch I suggest for your 2018 Honda Pilot is the Curt model # C13146. This Curt hitch is USA-made and includes all required mounting hardware. You do not have to do any drilling to install it and it will fit fine with an 18-inch or smaller spare tire stowed under the vehicle. It also has a high tongue weight capacity of 900-lbs. An installation video is linked along with the written instructions; the instructions list the specific tools needed to bolt this on to your Pilot. I also...

• Does Curt Hitch for 2016 Honda Accord Require Using Stabilizer Strap with Bike Rack
• The great thing about the Curt bike strap recommendation is that they've lightened their stance on it here lately and instead of it being a requirement they now only recommend it. So if you have a Curt hitch installed on your 2016 Honda Accord like the # C11681 and want to use the Kuat Transfer part # KU74FR you don't have to get creative to come up with a way to use the strap.

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2007 Honda Odyssey
• First you'd need to start with a trailer hitch for your 2007 Honda Odyssey. For that you would want the Draw Tite hitch part # 75270 which is a confirmed fit. For trailer wiring you then would want the part # 118438 which is also a confirmed fit. I attached an install video for this and the hitch on a 2007 Odyssey. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with...

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2013 Honda CR-V
• For a trunk mounted bike rack confirmed as a fit for your 2013 Honda CR-V the Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2 that you mentioned would be a fit that would work well. It's specifically designed for vehicles with spoilers, but it still would fit your vehicle. Since you don't have a spoiler though the Saris Bones # SA805BL might be more appealing as it will be a bit easier to install, costs less, and is just simpler rack in general. It's still a fantastic trunk rack though so it...

• Ball Mount Recommendation for 2004 Honda CR-V Towing Trailer with Coupler Height 18 inches
• Sounds like the rental company has given out the coupler height of their trailer when level. Since we know that when the Curt hitch part # 13535 is installed on a 2004 Honda CR-V that the hitch height is 15-1/4 inches that means you would need a rise of right at 2-3/4 inches to tow their trailer level. The part # 2753 has a rise of 2-3/4 inches so it would be perfect. For a 2 inch hitch ball you'd want # 63845, for a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball # 19260.

• Recommendations for Flat Towing a 2001 Honda CR-V
• You are correct that the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, # BX2221 is a confirmed fit for the 2001 Honda CR-V and will mate to the Blue Ox tow bar. You will also need safety cables, lighting, and a braking system on the CR-V. For safety cables, I recommend the coiled cables, # RM-643. The coiled design will help keep the cables from touching the ground. and the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit, # RM-15267. and for supplemental braking, the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental...

• Trailer Wiring Harness Fit Recommendation for 2005 Honda CR-V
• For trailer wiring confirmed to fit your 2005 Honda CR-V you would want the Tekonsha kit part # 118336 which is a confirmed fit. It comes with a converter box and installs very easily by plugging right into a factory port at the rear of your vehicle. I attached an install video for this kit on a similar 2005 Honda CR-V as well.

• Does Curt Trailer Wiring Harness # C56370 Fit 2017 Honda CR-V 2 Wheel Drive
• Long story short...the Curt trailer wiring harness part # C56370 IS a fit for your 2017 Honda CR-V. When vehicles are newer sometimes the fit info can change and it's possible at one time the # C56370 wasn't listed as a fit but we know for sure that it does fit a 2 wheel drive 2017 Honda CR-V. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.

• How To Get More Ground Clearance with Cargo Carrier
• I do have an option for you but you can't simply replace the shank on your cargo carrier for one that offers more ground clearance. That said, you can add an adapter such as the Yakima Hitch Extension for 2" Receivers part # Y69VR but keep in mind this will reduce your hitch capacity by fifty percent. Instead, I recommend a new carrier with built-in rise like the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches part # e98874.

• Recommended 2 Bike Carrier For a 2022 Honda CR-V Touring Edition
• I recommend the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack # SAR83FR for carrying your 2 bikes on your 2022 Honda CR-V Touring. This rack was designed for rear hatches with the built in spoiler like your CR-V. The carrier only weighs 11lbs and is capable of supporting the weight of 2 bikes up to 35lbs each. Six straps with rubber coated hooks secure the rack to the rear hatch. For your women's bike a Bike Frame Adapter Bar # SA3040 will be needed if it doesn't have a straight top frame bar.

• Which Kayak Rack Fits The T-Slot Channel On Thule Wingbar Evo Crossbars?
• For a kayak carrier that fits the channel of your Thule Evo Wingbar crossbars, I would look into the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier # LR54FR. You do not need any other hardware or adapters. This carrier is very versatile and does not require any tie-down straps because of the rubberized ratcheting hooks that will keep the kayak secured. Integrated locks help to deter theft of your gear. I attached a helpful demonstration video for you to check out.

• What Base Plate do I Need to use the Roadmaster StowMaster on my 2008 Honda CRV?
• We have a solution but the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-521559-5 has the direct connect attachment points that will not line up with the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar part # RM-501 attachment points. Instead the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # RM-521559-4 has the required crossbar style connection and will allow you to attach your StowMaster without issues. For a wiring harness to operate the CR-V lights while you're towing I suggest a custom harness...

• Thule Roof Rack that Fits 2018 Honda Civic EX Hatchback
• The fit kits for the Evo Feet Clamps like the part # TH145043 can't be used with the Traverse feet as the design is different. Since the Traverse has been discontinued you'd have to go with a new rack like the Wingbar Evo part numbers # TH711400, # TH710501, and # TH145043.

• Recommendation for Roof Rack and Truck Bed Loader Extension for Kayak
• I recommend going with the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender with Load Roller # MAL32VR because it can be used both as a roof rack or truck bed extender and it comes with a loader that not only helps with loading/unloading but it means you don't need a separate pad for your boat. When used in conjunction with your 2014 Honda CR-V you won't be able to open up your rear hatch but that's the case with any roof load extender - they sit too close for you to open up the hatch. If...

• What Roof Rack Works with My 2004 Honda Accord Sedan to Use the Inno Locker # INXA445?
• I have a great crossbar solution for you to use the Inno Locker # INXA445! For your 2004 Honda Accord 4-door with a naked roof, the Inno Locker will attaches as long as you have aero crossbars that have top channels that extend the length of the crossbar. For 100% definite compatibility with the Inner Locker on your roof, I recommend the following crossbar setup: - Inno Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 48" Long # INXB123-2 - Inno Through Feet for Aero Crossbars - Naked Roofs # INXS250 -...

• Will Yakima Frontloader Fit on Thule Wingbar Evo Rack that Fits 2022 Honda Civic
• The Thule Wingbar Evo roof rack part numbers # TH711420, # TH710501, and # TH145043 that fits your 2022 Honda Civic sedan would work great with the Yakima Frontloader # Y02103 that you referenced as well. Yakima racks work great on Thule roof racks.

• Solution to Allow 2012 Honda Ridgeline Towing Camper to Carry 4 Bikes
• I have a solution for you, but the reason you don't see any 4 bike racks used with the Curt dual hitch adapter part # D210 is because there would be clearance issues. Another option you might consider is a front hitch installed on your 2012 Honda Ridgeline like the Curt part # 33328 which is a confirmed fit. You'd have a bit more length added to the front of your setup but you'd have a way that would be easier than with the # D210.

• How To Help Prevent Sag While Towing with a 2019 Honda Odyssey
• I actually do have an option for your 2019 Honda Odyssey to help with sag and for that you can use the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs which are a great option for smaller tow vehicles with a rear coil spring suspension. These are spacers that get installed in between the coils and help to keep them for compressing as much when a load is applied. They are super easy to install and take off as well. In order to get you the correct kit I would need you to take the measurements listed...
