• What if Bolt Holes Don't Line up With etrailer Hitch on 2008 Honda CR-V
• You're right in that during the shipping process, trailer hitches will sometimes come "flexed" so the bolt holes won't completely line up, and that is something that can happen with any hitch, including the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e39AR for your CR-V. There are a number of remedies for this, and all require flexing it back into position. I have added a link below to a help article called "My Trailer Hitch Doesn't Fit" which has some really good options of things you can do if...

• It's smart to go with a good set of snow tire chains for your 2024 Honda CR-V, and for your 235/60-18 the best is from pewag, with the correct fit being the following: - pewag Servo RS Tire Chains # PWRSV80 There are a number of reasons why these Pewag chains are going to be the best option, starting with the ease of use.

• Recommended Replacement LED Lights to Replace the Wesbar 403076 Lights
• Hey Rob, so yeah it looks like you can use the Miro-Flex LED Combination Trailer Tail Light - 8 Function # STL27RB for the driver side, and # STL26RB for the passenger side as a replacement. These lights are going to be about a sixteenth of an inch longer, and an eighth of an inch taller than your current lights so the difference isn't really that noticeable, meaning they should work great as a replacement.

• Complete Flat Towing Setup for a 2013 Honda CR-V
• To flat tow your 2013 CR-V behind your motorhome you're going to need quite a bit of stuff. To start off you'll need a base plate kit # BX2258, which will install onto your CR-V and provides a mounting point for a set of tow bars # e47ZR. Next, you're going to need a braking system # BLU37TR with the 12 volt outlet kit # RM-9332. This part is pretty self explanatory, it's just a braking system meant to stop your towed vehicle in proportion with your motorhome. Finally, you'll need a...

• Recommended Class II Trailer Hitch for a 2024 Honda CR-V Touring Hybrid
• Brian, for a class II hitch I recommend checking out the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12169. Curt says this won't fit but we have actually had customers install this on their Hybrid CR-V (pictured below) with no issues so this hitch will work great. This hitch also has the 1 1/4" receiver you're looking for, a 3,500 lb towing capacity and a 350 lb tongue weight capacity.

• What etrailer Trailer Hitch Fits 2024 Honda CR-V
• Hi Logan; sorry to hear about your Crosstrek, and while we do have a hitch for your 2024 Honda CR-V, the e98838 is not a fit. That hitch is only a fit for the Crosstreks, so what you need for your '24 CR-V is the other part number you mentioned: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848 The two vehicles have different frame widths and bumper configurations, which is why the hitch for your Crosstrek is not a fit for your CR-V.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2024 Honda CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid
• The Curt # C13397 you looked at will fit your 2024 Honda CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid. The hands-free liftgate feature will still work once installed. The only thing that will change is that your foot will need to go on either side of the receiver to trigger the sensor. You can see this at the 1:30 mark in the installation videos below. The Curt hitch is a great choice that will do everything you need but I personally prefer the etrailer # e98848. The hitches are identical aside from the...

• Recommended Flat Towing Setup for a 2013 Honda CR-V
• Hey Patrick, it's a lot of parts but I've got a list ready for you. To start, you are going to need a base plate, specifically the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521567-5. Next, you'll need a tow bar that is compatible with the base plate you have and can handle the weight of your vehicle. I'm a fan of the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar - Non-Binding # RM-522. This tow bar has a nice 6,000 lb capacity, is pretty fairly priced, and will work great with the base plate...

• Correct Draw-Tite Hitch Fit for a 2023Honda CR-V Hybrid
• Great question, Gene! The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76128 won't fit your 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid but you can use the Draw-Tite # DT79MR instead. I actually like the part # DT79MR over the one you referenced anyways because this style has a hidden crosstube so it not only looks better but it also has better clearance. Attached is an installation video and a photo of this hitch installed on a 2022 CR-V for you to check out!

• Recommended Hitch for a 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid
• I would be happy to! The EcoHitch item # 306-X7345 you were looking at is confirmed to fit the hybrid models of the 2022 Honda CR-V. However, I recommend going with the Curt Hitch item # C13397 instead. This hitch also fits the hybrids and looks identical when installed at half the cost. The Curt Hitch item # C13397 is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It will work great for accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. It will also give you the most options and highest capacities...

• Can I Pull a Trailer w/ a 2" Coupler w/ the Flint Hill Goods Trailer Dolly?
• Yes, it will! The Flint Hill Goods Trailer Dolly item # FHG24ZR will work just fine with your 2" coupler even though it has a 1-7/8" hitch ball. Due to how slow you would be moving and how light dollies are it's not important for the latch of the coupler to secure to it. You could swap out the hitch ball but you really don't need to.

• Can 49" Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars Be Used on a 2020 Honda CR-V
• Hey Casey, thanks for reaching out! Rhino-Rack is pretty specific with their roof rack systems and since the slots on the underside of the crossbars has limited spacing there are rarely multiple crossbar fits for any specific vehicle. If you check out the linked installation video of this kit on a 2020 Honda CR-V there isn't a whole lot of crossbar overhang so I don't see using 5" smaller crossbars to be an option. You'll want to stick with the initial kit you were looing at: - 54" Vortex...

• 5.30-12 Trailer Tires With 81mph Speed Rating For a Harbor Freight 1,720LB Super Duty Trailer
• Typically it is the trailers tires which will restrict the maximum speed, so installing the Taskmaster 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire # TTWSF53012C should allow you to drive up to 81mph. I do see in the manual where it states to not exceed 45mph but it also is in reference to trailer sway. This makes me think the trailer does not have enough tongue weight when unloaded to prevent the trailer from swaying. I know several people have changed to the higher speed rated tires and drive well over...

• Is It Ok If Fuse Connectors Are Bent Some on Curt Wiring Harness For 2018 Honda CR-V
• Hey Bob, I can understand the install can be a bit cumbersome, and it's okay if the fuse holder tabs were bent just a bit installing the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56370 on your 2018 Honda CR-V. So long as nothing broke off, and it was inserted completely, it'll work for you. And zip ties aren't needed, but the converter does have double-sided tape that I would suggest trying to press against the side just so it doesn't rattle around and nothing comes loose. It isn't the...

• Recommended Tire Chains For A 2022 Honda CR-V With 235/60R18 Tires
• Hey Dennis thanks for your question. I can definitely point you in the right direction, although it sounds like you are already on the right track. Both of the options you mentioned, the Konig XG-12 Pro 247 # TH01594247 and the Pewag Servo RS # PWRS80 are going to fit the 235/60R18 tires on your 2022 Honda CR-V. Both will also be very similar as far as installation since they are drape-over style self-tensioning chains. A drape over chain is certainly what I would recommend for your situation....

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2024 Honda CR-V
• Hey Karen, the Curt hitch part # C13397 is the best hitch option for your 2024 Honda CR-V as it has the best towing capacities, is mostly hidden since only hitch opening hangs below rear bumper, and at this time is priced the best too. It'll work great with your Thule bike rack.

• Troubleshooting Curt Trailer Wiring with 2.6 Volts on Running Light Circuit
• Hey Mike, that would be too low of voltage for the running light circuit to function. That would be an indicator that the converter box is bad. When it's time for a new harness I'd go with the Tekonsha part # 118741 as they tend to have more reliable converter boxes.

• High Low Adapter for Flat Towing 2013 Honda CR-V
• Hey Richard, it sounds like you are looking for a high low adapter for when you will be flat towing your 2013 Honda CR-V. So the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX2258 that fits your vehicle has a bracket height of 15-1/2 inches so you'd want an adapter that drops right at 5 inches or so. Keep in mind if you are within 3 inches of level you are okay at that point. For that the Curt part # C59KR would work great as it can provide a drop of 4 inches. We do ship to Canada as well ay.

• Hitch Recommendation for 2011 Honda CR-V
• Hey John, for your 2011 Honda CR-V I would recommend the etrailer hitch part # e39AR which has a 2 inch opening, great towing capacities, and and easier install. The 2 inch hitch size is the most popular hitch size which means the most accessories are made for it.

• Does the Draw-Tite Hitch Fit a 2024 Honda CRV Hybrid Sport?
• Sorry Eric but that is a no. All of the Draw-Tite Hitch's like item # 36597 that fit the 2024 Honda CR-V specifically exclude the hybrid models. I checked with Draw-Tite to confirm this information. Instead, I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13397 which has been confirmed to fit the Hybrid Sport model of the 2024 CRV. This means there won't be any concerns with your batteries and it will be covered by Curt's warranty since they have approved it. The Curt item # C13397...
