Expert Answers about Honda HR-V


  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2017 Honda HR-V Behind Class C Motorhome
  • We can help you equip your 2017 Honda HRV for flat towing behind your motorhome, and there are a number of different parts you will need in order to do this. For base plates I recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 kit # RM-521570-5 that you referenced. This bracket will accommodate any Roadmaster motorhome-mounted tow bar. I recommend their Falcon 2 tow bar # RM-520. For safety cables use # RM-643. For a lighting kit I suggest an inexpensive magnetic light kit like # PE26UR or # TL21RK; these...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2016 Honda HR-V with Manual Transmission Behind a Motorhome
  • To flat tow your 2016 Honda HR-V you'll need a tow bar, base plates, wiring, and likely a high-low adapter. You'll also want to consult your owner's manual to make sure your vehicle is able to be flat towed without damaging it. From my research your HR-V is approved by Honda to flat tow because of the manual transmission. The automatic models cannot because the transmission will be damaged. The Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 is a great option to tow your Honda. It has a large...

  • Best Kayak Carriers for 2017 Honda HR-V EX with Bare Roof
  • Foam block type kayak carriers like the # MPG152 from Malone and similar carriers from other makers sometimes include some tie down straps, which absolutely should be installed on both bow and stern ends of the kayaks. Since the Coastal happens to be sold without straps you will definitely need an item like the Cam Buckle Cinch Straps # E98876-2 or the 16-foot Yakima Cinch Straps # Y05006 that you referenced in your question. Using two sets of straps is not a bad idea either. Foam block...

  • What 2" Hitch Fits My 2018 Honda HR-V?

On top of all that, it is...

  • Best Wiring and Fuse Bypasses for Flat Towing a 2016 Honda HR-V
  • To make disconnecting the 3 fuses on your 2016 Honda HR-V I recommend installing the FuseMaster Fuse Bypasses # RM76511 and # RM76512. This gives you the ability to "remove" (disconnect) the 3 fuses on your HR-V without physically removing them. There are no switches that allow you to disconnect 3 fuses with 1 switch but this reduces it to just 2 switches. For wiring I highly recommend the Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 which splices into the wiring behind your tail lights and also allows...

  • Recommended Solution for Carrying Motorcycle with 2019 Honda HR-V
  • I have a solution for you to add a trailer hitch to your 2019 Honda HR-V but you're going to be severely limited by the vehicle with the tongue weight capacity AND the towing capacity; I'm showing 200-lbs tongue weight capacity and roughly 1,100-lbs towing capacity at most (you'll want to consult the owner's manual for the most accurate information). The reason this is important is because you're not going to have the tongue weight capacity to use a hitch and hitch mounted carrier like...
