  • Trailer Hitch Weight for a 2011 Honda CR-V
  • I'd be happy to help! All of the hitches for your 2011 Honda CR-V weigh relatively the same when it comes to the different classes, and while the Class I hitches definitely weight lighter I recommend using a Class III hitch since they have a 2" receiver and can handle a wider variety of accessories. Out of the hitches listed below I recommend the Draw-Tite Hitch # 75547 since it's a Class III hitch with a weight of about 27 lbs. Here are the rest of the hitches: Class I Draw-Tite -...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Honda CR-V
  • The best hitch for your 2023 Honda CR-V is going to be the etrailer Trailer Hitch item # e98848. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your CR-V with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity, and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight. It is not rated to be used with weight distribution systems. I really like this hitch because the crossbar installs behind your rear bumper. This completely conceals it leaving only the 2" receiver visible....

  • Height Added To The Roof Of My Vehicle When Using The Yakima Showdown # Y04081
  • The Yakima Baseline towers # Y28TR with the landing pad 19 will leave you about 5-1/4 inches from the top of your bar to the roof of your 2020 Honda CR-V. That being said the Yakima Showdown # Y04081 will sit about 9 inches up from the top of your bar when the kayaks are not loaded.

  • Height Dimensions of the Reese Eclipse 4 Bike Rack Part # 63124
  • The distance from the top of the shank to the top of the mounting plate on the Reese Eclipse 4 Bike Rack part # 63124 is 35-1/2". I have attached a photo of this for you as well. Please keep in mind that this distance will increase by an inch or so for the last few bikes as the mounting plate is angled. Unfortunately, I do not have any information on the longevity of the frame cradles. If any of your bikes have an alternative frame then you will want to use an adapter bar like the Bike...

  • Cargo Box Options and Rear Hatch Clearance Needed for 2018 Honda CRV
  • The measurement you're looking for is the rear hatch clearance measurement which is from the center of the front crossbar to the line where the roof and hatch meet on your 2018 Honda CRV. That measurement needs to be 52 1/2 inches for the SportRack Horizon Rooftop Cargo Box to clear your open hatch. The SportRack has a sleek design providing a low profile and would look great on your CRV. For the Yakima SkyBox 12 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07334 the rear hatch clearance requires 57 inches between...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Honda CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid
  • Yes, we do. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13397 for your 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your CR-V with included hardware. It fits all models of the CR-V including your hybrid. I really like the Curt hitch because the crosstube installs behind your rear bumper cover which completely hides it. This leaves only the 2" receiver visible. This not only looks better but it helps with ground clearance. I have attached an installation video so you can...

A couple of other dimensions you may be interested in are noted in the picture. The height of the mounting plate is 6-1/2 inches and the width is 6-5/8 inches. The distance from center of the mounting hole to center is 5-1/2 inches. I have attached a FAQ article...

  • Why Are Trailer Hitches Rated for More Weight Than the 2008 Honda CR-V is Rated For
  • Great question, and I'm glad you're looking into your weight ratings! We typically recommend going with a larger 2" receiver like the Curt # 13555 whenever it's available simply because it gives you more options on what accessories are compatible with it (see example below). The hitch manufacturers test and give hitch weight ratings individually from the vehicles they fit for a few reasons but you are definitely limited by your least rated component which is typically the vehicle that...

  • Ground Clearance of Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2011 Honda CR-V
  • When we installed the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13555 on a 2011 Honda CR-V, we found it has a height of 15-3/4 inches from the top of the receiver to the ground. This is part of the formula you will use to find the correct ball mount, with the other being the height from the trailer coupler to the ground - the difference will be the rise or drop you need (if the coupler is higher you need that amount of drop; if the receiver is higher you need that amount of rise). I've added a link...

  • Can a Hitch Lock be Used in Place of a Hitch Pin and Safely Tow a Boat Trailer
  • It sounds like you want to use the hitch lock, like # e98882, in place of a regular hitch pin. Yes, you can absolutely use the lock instead of a hitch pin and it will work great to safely transport the trailer and boat. The hitch lock does not have an official rating but in reality its capacity is much higher than the tow vehicle or trailer hitch. I have linked a video review of this lock for you.

  • Weight Capacity of Rola TX-104 4 Bike Carrier # 59401
  • The listed weight capacity of the Rola TX-104 4-bike rack, part # 59401, is correct at 100 lbs for 4 bikes. The Yakima hanging hitch 4-bike racks do seem to run at a little higher weight capacity for 4 bikes at 120 lbs, and the Thule hanging hitch 4 bike racks are at 140 lbs weight capacity. I am including links to product pages of the Thule and Yakima 4-bike hanging bike racks. Also, I will include a link to the installation instructions on the Rola bike rack that will list the weight...

  • Why are the Trailer Hitches for a 2004 Honda CR-V Rated for More Weight than the Vehicle
  • It's true, Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24792, as well as the other hitch options for the 2004 Honda CR-V, exceed the capacity of the vehicle. All that means is that the hitches have those ratings, but you are still limited to the capacities of the vehicle since it is rated lower. The reciprocal would also be true: if the vehicle was rated higher than the hitch you would go by the hitch rating since it is lower. The reason there are 2 inch hitches available for this vehicle is demand. The...

  • Maximum Allowed Trailer Weight for 2017 Honda CR-V Touring
  • Auto makers like Honda get to decide what the towing capacity is for any vehicle they make. This towing capacity is a function of the entire vehicle; its frame, engine, transmission, suspension, cooling system, etc. The online owner's manual for the 2017 CR-V does state that 1500-lbs is the most a loaded trailer can weigh including the weight of cargo in it. There are no qualifying statements in the manual that say more weight is okay under specific conditions, such as when a weight distribution...

  • Does the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch item # DT79MR Fit the 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid?
  • I checked with Draw-Tite, and I can confirm that the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch item # DT79MR does fit the 2023 Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C59236 for the front wheel drive models or item # C56370 for the all wheel drive and a ball mount kit item # C45534. I also recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure the 4-way connector to your hitch. This will put it in an easy to reach...

  • Is Vehicle Tongue Weight Limit Applied When Using Hitch Mounted Accessories On 2006 Honda CR-V
  • The 150 lb limit does apply to any accessory attached to the trailer hitch on your 2006 CR-V. The weight you place in the hitch includes the carrier as well as the cargo in the carrier. The bike rack you asked the question from is the Thule Hitching Post Pro, part # TH934XTR. This bike carrier weighs about 40 lbs so that weight needs to be added to the bike weight when carrying it in the trailer hitch. If you are planning on carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or...

  • Capacity of Clamp-On RV Bumper 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver # S64025 with Anti-Rattle
  • The limiting factor is not the capacity of RV bumper hitch # S64025. The main issue is the capacity of the bumper. You will need to contact the RV manufacturer to find out the specifications for your bumper. Also, you will have to be certain you have the right bumper, as this hitch is designed exclusively for 4 inch by 4 inch continuous-welded steel bumpers. This adapter is not compatible with aluminum or spot-welded steel bumpers. There is no drilling required, as the hitch slips over...
