  • Recommended Clamp On Crossbars for an Audi Q5
  • While we aren't going to be able to send you a photo of the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 installed, however I did check the owner's manual and when this rack is not in use you can use the included M6 x 12.5mm flat washer as a cover for the exposed feet. As far as a roof rack system for your Audi Q5, I recommend sticking with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 and just using the Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRSX030 with it. That...

  • Trailer Hitch, Bike Rack, And Hitch Extender For A 2001 Honda CR-V
  • I do have a solution for your 2001 Honda CR-V, however using a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" class I hitch may not be the best choice. Since you have a spare tire on the rear of your vehicle, you're going to need to use a hitch extender like # HES0. What this is going to do is, push your hitches receiver opening out past your bumper giving you the clearance to use your bike rack without interference. The only catch is, whenever you use a hitch extender or any hitch adapters, you are going to limit your...

  • Does Hitch Installation of etrailer e98848 on 2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid Require Sensor Relocation Kit
  • When installing a hitch like the etrailer # e98848, you may or may not need the sensor relocation kit; we've seen some customers that have reported that the hands-free lift gate still works but that it requires touching a very specific spot and some that have wanted to add the kit. The Power Liftgate Sensor Relocation Bracket as part # 08U59-TLA-100A is a Honda part that would need to be obtained from the dealer directly.

  • Parts Needed To Flat Tow a 1997 Honda CR-V AWD Automatic
  • Yes. You'll want to check your owners manual for confirmation and the procedures for flat towing but my research is showing that the 1997 Honda CRV can be flat towed. In order to flat tow you will need a number of parts from the following categories: base plates, tow bar, safety cables, lights/wiring, supplemental braking and a rise/drop adapter. I've compiled a short list of the parts here: Base Plates: Roadmaster Crossbar Style # 1528-3 Tow Bar: Roadmaster Tracker # RM-020 (requires...

  • Wiring Harness and Other Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2012 Honda CR-V
  • You won't be able to use the existing 4-way trailer connector on your 2012 Honda CR-V because that connector does the opposite of what you're trying to accomplish. It powers a trailer's lights from the CR-V's lights. You're trying to power the CR-V's lights. Some lighting kits will not be able to be used without disconnecting the 4-way. However, a kit like the Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit # RM-155 will install without tapping into the car's wiring. It bypasses the CR-V's wiring...

  • Recommended Hidden Trailer Hitch For A 2022 Honda CR-V With Hands-Free Hatch Sensor
  • I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7345 for your 2022 Honda CR-V. This hitch has a completely hidden design where the cross tube installs behind your Honda CR-V's rear bumper leaving only the receiver tube visible beneath it. After installing the EcoHitch the free liftgate may have a really specific spot where you will have to put your leg to get the sensor to activate. When installing the wiring harness, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118741....

  • Can I Fit 2 Malone Downloaders on Rhino Rack Roof Rack on 2020 Honda CR-V
  • The great thing about J-style carriers like the ones included with the Malone Downloader with Telus XL # MPG114MD-351XL (with load assist) or # MPG114MD (without load assist) is that they don't take up a ton of space (17" wide to be exact), so they're the best solution to carry 2 kayaks on a vehicle. In regards to the roof rack kit, the Rhino Rack Roof Rack kit for 2020 Honda CR-V with Naked Roof that uses parts # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA (towers), # DK284 (fit kit) will provide you with...

  • Recommended Locking Hitch Pin for Kuat Transfer 2 Platform Bike Rack
  • I have a solution for you, but because bike racks like your Kuat Transfer V2 # KU84FR have a threaded shank, you can't use a generic anti-rattle hitch pin like the # 63232. Instead, Kuat has a specific threaded hitch pin designed to work on their bike racks with the Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks - 2" Hitches # HL2. This anti-rattle device is compatible with your # KU84FR or similar Kuat rack. I've linked a short review video of this locking hitch pin for you to have a look at.

  • Parts Needed to Install a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 2014 Honda CR-V
  • Honda did not offer a towing package with a 7-way trailer connector for the CR-V, so using a 4-way to 7-way adapter is the best option. You will first want to install a wiring harness with a 4-way connector like part # C56158. This will provide all of the trailer light functions. I have attached the installation video and instructions for you to check out. Next you will want to install a 7-way adapter. If you do not need all of the additional functions that a 7-way trailer connector provides,...

The correct base plate kit for your vehicle is the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit, item # RM-521559-4. This kit will not work on vehicles with a brushguard installed on the front.

  • Concealed Trailer Hitch Option for 2013 Honda CR-V
  • We do offer a mostly concealed option for the 2013 Honda CR-V, the EcoHitch # 306-X7297. The installation is pretty involved, it would involve temporarily removing the rear bumper cover and underbody panel. The underbody panel will need to be notched to allow the receiver tube to pass through it. Once installed, the only visible portion of the hitch would be the receiver tube and the safety chain loops. The remainder of the hitch will be concealed behind the bumper. EcoHitch estimates...

Both Class I and class II hitches have a 1-1/4-inch receiver opening while a Class III hitch has a 2-inch receiver. For more on this you can refer to the linked articles on hitch sizes and classes.

  • Parts Needed for Flat-Towing a 2013 Honda CR-V
  • To flat to your 2013 Honda CR-V you would need to first start with a base plate kit and tow bar. I like the Demco systems because the tow bars have independent moving arms and already come with the safety cables. The Demco base plates for your CR-V are part # DM9519328 and the Commander tow bar, part # DM9511012, will pair up with them nicely. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your...
