Expert Answers about Honda CR-V

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2020 Honda CR-V
• The etrailer hitch part # e98848 is the best value for a hitch for your 2020 Honda CR-V. The EcoHitch part # 306-X7345 has a very similar design and as you noted does cost a bit more so if it was my money I would go with the # e98848. For trailer wiring then the Tekonsha kit part # 118741 is the best option as it's the easiest to install and has most reliable converter box. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball...

• Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars and Locks on a 2018 Honda CR-V without Existing Rails
• I'm happy to inform you that you are correct in the part numbers needed to install the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars, part # RRVA137B-2, on a 2008 Honda CR-V naked roof. I've linked to a video installation of this combination on a 2018 Honda CR-V. Luckily, we have a bundle of this setup that I've linked to to make it much easier for you to navigate. The 2500 Series Legs, part # RRRLKVA, come pre-installed with locks that keep it secured to your roof, meaning it will prevent the theft...

• Would Draw Tite Hitch # 75742 for 2014 Honda CR-V Work with Bike Rack
• Yes the Draw Tite hitch part # 75742 will work great on your 2014 Honda CR-V to carry a bike rack. The hitch opening is basically going to be flush with the rear bumper edge so any bike rack that can fit a 2 inch hitch would fit and work great.

• Will Hatch Huggers Work for Side Straps on my Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack?
• The Hatch Huggers for Saris Trunk Mount Bike Racks # SA3035 will work with the rack's side strap carrier buckle of the Saris Bones EX 3 # SA803. Since the Hatch Huggers have a length of a little over 6 feet, it will give you plenty of length to get that secure, tight fit. I went ahead and attached the picture to show you that the Hatch Huggers can attach to the side strap buckles.

• Does InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System for Towed Vehicle Cover Lighting Functions
• We can help with a way to activate the taillights of your 2012 Honda CR-V when it's being flat towed but the supplemental braking kits like the InvisiBrake part # RM-8700 are not designed provide that function. What you would need for that is the # RM-152-98146-7 which comes with everything needed to control the taillights of the CR-V with you tow vehicle.

• Tire Step Recommendation For 2004 Honda CR-V
• If you feel the frame of the HitchMate TireStep, part # HE4040 may not fit in the opening on your 2004 Honda CR-V, we may have another option that will work for you. I recommend the Wheel Step, part # PT68ZR. This has an adjustable rail that slips over and behind the tire on your CR-V, so it should not be a problem at all getting it to fit securely. This tire step has a 300 lb weight capacity.

• Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2008 Honda CRV to Carry 2 Kayaks
• Since you have a roof rack on your 2008 Honda CR-V that includes crossbars that run from side to side I would recommend the Thule Stacker Kayak Carrier part # TH830. This kayak carrier can carry up to 4 kayaks and I confirmed with Thule that it will fit the factory crossbars of your 2008 Honda CR-V. Check out the review video I attached for this carrier.

• Will Base Plates On 2001 Honda CR-V Work On 2005 CR-V
• The base plates that are designed for a 2001 CR-V will not work with a 2005 CR-V. We do offer base plates that will work with the Falcon tow bar for the 2005. The base plates we offer depend on whether you have the trim package on the front bumper of your CR-V. If you have the trim package the base plate I recommend is part # 1555-5. This base plate kit features removable drawbars that make it almost invisible when removed and not being towed. This system will not work with a CR-V that...

• Are Base Plate Kits for One Vehicle Transferable to Another
• The RoadMaster base plate kits available for a 2005 Toyota Matrix are part # 1173-3 and 1173-1. The base plate kits available for a 1998 Honda CRV are part # 1528-3 and 1528-1. These parts are not interchangeable. If you want to be able to two both vehicles, you will need a base plate kit for each of them.

• Draw-Tite Cover for 2 inch Reciever on 2008 Honda CRV
• The Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch, item # 75547, is the correct hitch for your 2008 Honda CRV. This hitch does not come with the Draw-Tite Hitch cover. The cover with the Draw-Tite Hitch Logo is available as item # DT7010, but does not include a band to secure it when not installed. You would need to stow the cover in the vehicle when the hitch is in use. This cover is installed by just pushing it into the receiver and does not require hardware or tools for installation.

• Tow Bar Adapter, Part # RM-032 Compatibility with Falcon Tow Bar
• The Roadmaster Tow Bar Adapter, part RM-032 is used to adapt Blue Ox, (Aventa, Aventa II, Kar Bar, Aladdin, Alexxa, Acclaim, and all Blue Ox A-Frame tow bars with 1 or 3 pronged attachment) and Demco (Aluminator, Excalibur and Kwik-Tow) to Roadmaster base plate brackets (except Roadmaster MX or MS Series brackets). It cannot be used with Roadmaster Tow Bars. By 'adapter' do you mean the quick disconnect? If your Falcon tow bar has the quick disconnect, it should work with the Roadmaster...

• Trailer Hitch and 5-Way Wiring Harness for Towing a Jon Boat with a 2007 Honda CR-V
• If all you plan on towing is the boat and trailer then 200 pound tongue weight capacity and 2,000 pound gross trailer weight capacity of the Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24792 that you have referenced would be a good choice. Check the owners manual on your CR-V because I believe that the towing capacity of the vehicle is 1,500 pounds and it is important that you stay under that. The correct ball mount for this hitch is # 3592. For a 1-7/8 inch diameter ball use # 19256. And if you ever need...

• What is the Difference in the Rhino Rack Roof Racks for a 2015 Honda CR-V w/ a Naked Roof?
• The price, assembly steps, and part numbers. I checked with Rhino-Rack and the ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs item # RR45GR is a newer part number and kit. It comes with the legs attached to the crossbars instead of leaving this step for you to complete. It's replacing the older RS 2500 Roof Rack item # RRRS409B. Both are confirmed to fit a 2015 Honda CR-V with a naked roof. They each have a 165 lbs capacity. I have linked installation videos for both below.

• Recommended Cargo Carriers Popular With A 2012 Honda CR-V
• For your 2012 Honda CR-V, there are two different trailer hitch receiver sizes, so a couple different popular options due to that. For a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver, the most popular is the 17x46 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" Hitches lbs # C18145. This carrier has a straight shank for greater ground clearance, but it does not have a folding feature. The sides and the metal floor provide many attachment points for tie down straps like # EM04418 or the Cargo Net 36" x 48" # CS54FR. I recommend...

• Is 2022 Honda CR-V Touring Hitch Compatible with Power Hatch Sensors
• Yes, you will need a sensor relocation kit from your local Honda dealer to install the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7345 on your 2022 Honda CR-V Touring. This is just due to the metal on the hitch getting in the way of the sensors so they can't pick up your movement. Attached is an installation of this hitch on a 2021 CR-V Touring for you to check out. If you let me know what you plan on using the hitch for I'd be more than happy to make additional recommendations.

• Does Using a High-Low Adapter With 8 Inch Drop In a Flat-Tow Setup Reduce Weight Ratings
• In order to obtain an 8" drop with a flat-tow setup we have two options for this, the Blue Ox High-Low Adapter part # BX88131 and the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter part # RM-048-8. As mentioned, these will both limit gross trailer weight and tongue weight ratings of the trailer hitch to 5,000 lbs and 10,000 lbs of gross trailer weight respectively. In regards to tongue weight, I am not sure where you are getting your figures from but there is little to no tongue weight in a flat-tow setup...

• In order to use the Thule SnowPack ski carrier # TH7325 your 2012 Honda CR-V will need to have a roof rack. If your CR-V has a naked roof with no side rails that run front to back then the most cost-effective compatible roof rack is from Rhino-Rack using the following parts: Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 Feet # RRRLKVA Custom clamp kit # DK284 If the CR-V has the flush side rails that run front to back then you can use Rhino-Rack roof rack # RRRVP33 which attaches to the side rails without...
