Expert Answers about Honda HR-V


  • Ball Mount Recommendation for 2020 Honda HR-V with Curt Class I Hitch
  • Based on your dimensions you do need a 1 inch rise. Now that said Class I hitches you have to use only the recommended ball mount from the manufacturer would be the part # C45521. Due to the lower capacity of the Class I hitches using a longer or larger ball mount might cause excessive strain on the hitch. For a hitch ball you'd want the # A-82 for a 2 inch ball or # A-80 for 1-7/8 inch hitch ball.

  • Availability of Adapter to Allow Bike Rack to Be Carried and Tow Trailer
  • Sounds like you may be interested in the part # D210. This will fit your 2 inch hitch and gives you a ball mount platform down below and a hitch opening above for your bike rack. However, if you do not yet have a hitch yet, we have great news. We have the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7322 that has a 2" opening and a 300-pound tongue weight capacity. With this hitch, you could use the Thule Hitching Post Pro 4-bike rack # TH934XTR. I attached a video of these products...

  • Preventing U-Bolt Nut Flange Overlap with Install of Curt Hitch on Honda HR-V
  • When we installed the Curt hitch part # C11416 on a similar HR-V as your model we found that the trick to getting the U-bolt nuts installed properly was to tighten them down evenly so that the nuts wouldn't overlap. We have torque wrenches available too like with the part # ALL944001 as well.

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2023 Honda HR-V
  • Yakima, like all of the roof rack companies, sells their locks separately. To secure a Yakima roof rack to your vehicle you will want the Yakima Same Key System item # Y07204. The price is on the top right side of the product page. The great thing about Yakima's keys being sold separately is you can buy larger packs of keys 6 item # Y07206 or 8 item # Y07208 to secure other Yakima accessories to the roof rack and still only need one key. All of the components of your roof rack will come...

  • Tailer Hitch for 2016 Honda HR-V
  • There are indeed hitches available. I'd recommend either the Curt # C11416 that you'd looked at or the EcoHitch # 306-X7322. If I had to choose between the two, I'd personally go with the EcoHitch because it uses the more common 2 inch receiver opening and is compatible with many more hitch mounted accessories than the Curt # C11416 that uses a 1-1/4 inch receiver. Also, once it's installed, the EcoHitch crossbar will be concealed behind the rear bumper so the only visible part of the...

  • Can ecoHitch # 306-X7322 Hitch Handle Towing Small Trailer with 2018 Honda CR-V
  • The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver you'd looked at, part # 306-X7322 is a confirmed fit for fit for your 2018 Honda HR-V and has a 2000 lb towing/300 lb tongue weight (maximum amount of downward force that can be applied to hitch) capacity. So, the hitch itself can handle a trailer and cargo weighing up to 2000 lbs. The US version of the owner's manual states that the vehicle shouldn't be used to tow a trailer, but I've seen online references to an 800KG towing capacity (1760 lbs)...

  • Recommended Snow Tire Chains For a 2024 Honda HR-V
  • I recommend using the Konig Easy Fit Tire Chains on your 2024 Honda HR-V. These are my favorite chains because of how easy they are to install and since it is always cold and snowy/ice when you need to install them it only makes sense to get them on as quickly as possible and get back inside your warm car. You will need either the Chains # TH04115103 if you have the 215/60R17 tires or the Chains # TH04115104 if you have 225/55R18 tires.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Honda HR-V
  • For your 2018 Honda HR-V the hitch I would recommend is the Curt part # C11416 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. IIf you use this hitch for a non-towing application like a bike rack or cargo carrier, you will need the stabilizer strap # 18050. This is required by Curt. For trailer wiring you'd then want the # 118673 which is a confirmed fit and our most reliable option. For a ball mount you'd want the part # 3593, 2 inch hitch ball part # 19258, or 1-7/8 inch # 19256.

  • Is Thule T2 Pro or Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack Better for Resisting Rust
  • The Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH83JV you referenced is an excellent carrier that does feature a powder coat finish to help with corrosion resistance, but if this is one of your main concerns the Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Rack # NV22G that you also mentioned is the better option. A powder coat finish will try its best to fight off corrosion for as long as it can but it's eventually going to start coming off, even if its a few years down the line. The Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack though...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2016 Honda HR-V to Tow Trailer for Scooter
  • Since the hitches available for your 2016 Honda HR-V are lower in capacity like the Curt hitch # C18145 which has a tongue capacity of 200 lbs which would be too close to the weight of your scooter. Best option would be to tow a small trailer with your vehicle. To do that you'd also need trailer wiring like the Tekonsha part # 118673 and a ball mount like # C45521.

  • Can the Solera Screen Rooms Be Used To Hold Pets Such As Cats and Dogs
  • The Solera Screen Rooms like part # LC362216 are actually quite popular play pens for animals or so it would appear as I have personally fielded many similar questions of other customers asking to do the same things. The main concern however is not the durability of the mesh for most but rather how to secure the sides to the ground so the animals cannot escape and this can be done pretty easily with just some generic tent stakes. Unfortunately, I don't have any first hard or much second...

  • The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56284 for 2016-2018 Honda HR-V models only has a review video at this time and not an installation video. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness which is located in your cargo area. You will have to remove all trunk floor coverings, storage trays, and the scuff panel to access these connection points.

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2016 Honda HR-V
  • Rhino-Rack ROC25 Vortex roof rack # RR62XR will fit your 2016 Honda HR-V if it has a naked roof (no rails or bars of any kind). If your HR-V has flush mount rails that run front to back then you would need a different roof rack using the following parts: Inno Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 51" Long # INXB130-2 Inno Through Feet- Flush Side Rails - Qty 4# INXS450 Custom Fit Kit # INTR159

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Fit 2023 Honda HR-V for a Bike Rack
  • Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C68DR will fit your 2023 Honda HR-V and is a great option for adding a bike rack! I really like how the crosstube is hidden so it looks better on your vehicle but also provides better ground clearance. Please note this is a Class I trailer hitch so you need to make sure your bike rack is compatible with this class of hitch. If you don't already have a bike rack I highly recommend going with the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU74FR because it's easy to use and...

  • Recommended 1-1/4 Class 1 Hitch for a 2023 Honda HR-V
  • The best hitch for your 2023 Honda HR-V is going to be the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C68DR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Honda with included hardware.

It has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity, and a 200 lbs maximum tongue weight. I have linked a pictures below so you can see what this hitch looks...
