Expert Answers about Honda HR-V


  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2018 Honda HR-V 2WD for Carrier and Scooter
  • For your 2018 Honda HR-V, I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7322. This is the only 2 inch receiver we have compatible with your vehicle and you will need a 2 inch receiver for most carriers compatible with a scooter. This hitch will have a 300 lb tongue weight rating, so your 73 lb carrier and 81 lb scooter will get you to 254 lbs of your 300 lb total capacity so it will work well. Any of the 1-1/4 inch receivers would not be able to work...

  • 2 inch Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Honda HR-V for Carrying Bike Rack
  • EcoHitch makes a 2 inch hitch that fits your 2019 Honda HR-V, for that you'd want the part # 306-X7322 and you'd be able to carry your 2 inch bike rack with your HR-V. This hitch is made from all recycled materials, is made in the USA, and has a hidden crosstube so it will be less visible too which is nice.

  • Ball Mount with 4 or 5 Inch Rise for a 1-1/4 InchCurt Hitch on a 2016 Honda HR-V
  • For the Curt hitch # C11416 the recommended ball mount is # C45521 which is 7-1/4 inches long. So as far as length goes the average on the recommended mounts is about 7 inches but it can be longer. The rise on these recommended ball mounts isn't enough though. For a 4 inch rise you could use # 3594. For a 5 inch rise use # 36065. And for either ball mount you can use # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 19258 for a 2 inch ball. For a trailer wiring harness you can use # 118673 to add a...

  • Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2016 Honda HR-V
  • For your 2017 Honda HR-V we have the Class I- 1-1/4 inch receiver Curt hitch part # C11416 or the EcoHitch 2" receiver # 306-X7322. I recommend the EcoHitch over the Curt because it has the more popular 2" opening and more tongue weight capacity which is 300 pounds compared to the 200 pounds of the Curt. Then for a cargo carrier the Curt part # C18145 is a very popular option that can be used with either the 1-1/4 inch hitch or the 2" hitch. It would fit and work well on your vehicle...

  • 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...

  • Replacing Single Stage Regulator with MB Sturgis 2-Stage Regulator # 108221
  • You can indeed replace your existing single stage regulator with the MB Sturgis Horizontal 2-Stage Propane Regulator # 108221. I spoke with my contact at MB Sturgis regarding its performance in cold weather when compared to a single stage and he did say that what you read is true. This is because of the piston design that MB Sturgis uses for the 2-stage regulators that allows it to maintain the needed pressure as temperatures drop. This design is actually unique to their 2-stage units and...

  • Weight Capacity of Thule Aeroblade Roof Rack for a 2016 Honda HR-V
  • The Thule Aero roof rack you mentioned that consists of part numbers # TH711420, # TH710501, and # TH145175 has a weight capacity of 165 lbs. You would also need to verify the roof capacity of your 2016 Honda HR-V and be sure not to exceed the lower of the two figures as well. If you want to see an install video that shows how a similar Aeroblade roof rack installs check out the video link I attached. How the clamps attach to the door of a vehicle is shown. It may be a different vehicle...

  • 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.

  • In order to flat-tow a 2017 Honda HR-V you'll need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, braking system, and wiring harness. I have attached a list of these parts for you below.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Honda HR-V
  • We've found that there are a lot of vehicles out there that aren't rated for towing by their manufacturer yet people choose to ignore that at their own risk and do so anyway. We offer hitches for vehicles in situations like this since there is a demand for them like for your 2016 Honda HR-V. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7322 is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and would most likely be okay to tow a very light weight jet ski trailer but we can't speak...

  • 2022 Honda HR-V Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendations for Sea Kayaks
  • Since your 2022 Honda HR-V has the flushed rails all of the roof rack fits will have the same crossbar spread as they used pre-existing fixed points to anchor the roof rack. So what it will boil down to for your application is price vs quality and for the best option I recommend the Inno Aero roof rack setup: 51" Aero Crossbars - # INXB130-2 Through Feet - # INXS450 Fit Kit - # INTR159 The Inno brand has a sleek look and doesn't lack in quality, plus their price point is really hard to...

  • Carrying More than 2 Bikes on a 2017 Honda HR-V
  • The trailer hitches designed for the 2017 Honda HR-V are all Class I hitches and they are not likely going to produce a Class II hitch for it. Since the hitches are Class I you will be limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch even if the bike rack can hold more. The issue is not the amount of weight but the distance of that weight from the receiver. What I recommend is to use a trunk mount bike rack that holds 3 bikes. If the kid's bike is small enough you might be able to put it...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2019 Honda HR-V
  • I can definitiely help you get a trailer hitch receiver installed on your 2019 Honda HR-V. There are a few different trailer hitch receiver options but I highly recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7322 as it is the only 2x2 receiver option for your vehicle which will allow you the most options for accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers. This trailer hitch receiver will require trimming to the fascia of your vehicle and has a more difficult install than other...

  • Recommended Lightweight Bike Rack For Step-Through Frame Bike
  • We have a few lightweight bike rack options to help you transport your Townie Bike with your 2016 Honda HR-V. The lightest bike rack we offer is the Kuat Beta Aluminum Folding 2 Bike Rack # B202-2 which will require the use of Kuat Bike Frame Adapter # UB01 due to the step-through frame design on your bike. The greatest part about the Kuat Beta is that it weighs in at just 12.6lbs and is still very strong with a maximum weight capacity of 80lbs. The only down side of the Kuat Beta is that...

  • Can Demco Duo be Used with Motorhome that has Air Brakes
  • The G Force Demco controller you have is part of the Demco Stay N Play DUO system part # SM99251 which wasn't designed for use with motorhomes with air brakes like the Air Force One part # DM26VR was. To convert what you have to be an Air Force One you'd need the part # SM99233.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Honda HR-V
  • For a trunk rack for your 2016 Honda HR-V the Yakima FullBack part # Y02634 is the best option as it is very easy to install, is lightweight and only option that comes with locks for the bikes and a lock for the rack to the vehicle. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached...

  • Can Class I Hitch Carry 50 lb Bike Rack and 2 Mountain Bikes
  • The class I hitches for your 2018 Honda HR-V have a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. So with a 50 lb bike rack you'd have 150 lbs of capacity left over. The Kuat NV part # NV12G that you referenced weighs 52 lbs and is one of the nicest bike racks available. It has a 60 lb per bike capacity as well plus a built in repair stand as well. So this would be under the 200-lb limit. However, we now have the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7322. It has a 300...

  • Kuat Transfer or Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack on 2020 Honda HR-V?
  • The Curt Hitch # C11416 for your 2020 Honda HR-V is a Class I hitch with a 200 tongue weight capacity. For that reason, the Yakima HoldUp # Y02445 is actually not compatible with this hitch since it is designed for Class II 1-1/4" hitch receivers. They did that because it can carry heavy electric bikes of up to 60 lbs each. 120 lbs of bike weight plus the 50 lbs rack weight can come close to maxing out Class I hitches. Either way, I would still prefer the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU74FR for...
