The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-521559-5 and Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # RM-521559-4 are both fits for a 2010 Honda CR-V. The main difference between the two is that the Direct-Connect style connects directly to a tow bar like the Roadmaster Nighthawk part # RM-676. The Crossbar-Style connect to a crossbar and then to a tow bar like the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 part # RM-422.
I prefer the Direct-Connect as there is less to connect each time and... view full answer...
In general there are more products made for the 2-inch Class III hitch type than for the 1-1/4-inch Class II. Some bike racks and other hitch-mount accessories such as cargo carriers can work with both hitch sizes but many are intended for one or the other.
Adapters are not a great idea since they change the geometry of the overall hitch/rack system; and this is why all hitch adapters will cost you half of your hitch capacity. If you used your 2-inch hitch bike rack in an adapter like... view full answer...
The Blue Ox BX7365 "Alpha" tow bar has been discontinued and was replaced by the # BX7380 "Alpha 2" which includes an improved non-binding system, and now includes safety cables. Otherwise their specifications are the same.
Since the BX7365 that you received is used, you should keep in mind that the warranty period was only 3 years and all tow bars only have a 7 - 10 year life span. Depending on its age, you may want to consider replacing it with the new Alpha 2. I believe if you call... view full answer...
The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848, Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13397, and EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7345 for your 2017 Honda CR-V Touring AWD will all be equally hidden with just the receiver itself being visible as shown in the included pictures. The EcoHitch is set apart due to it using Eco friendly recycled aero-space grade aluminum, steel, and stainless steel to make it more corrosion resistant.
Between these options I recommend the # e98848 as it... view full answer...
Both the Tow Ready # TR118821 and the Hopkins # HM56300 serve the same purpose, allowing the lights on your flat towed vehicle to operate in tandem with those of the the RV. The difference is that the Hopkins wiring harness is a plug and play installation, while the Tow Ready harness would require cutting and splicing into the existing factory taillight wiring harnesses.
Because this harness wires your Honda CR-V as a combined system, a brake light relay (RM-88400 - sold separately) may... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite 2 inch receiver, part # 76128, is the better choice for your 2017 Honda CR-V because of your hands-free lift gate. The sensors are likely blocked right where the receiver opening is but if you put your foot to either side the gate will open.
The Curt, part # C13397, on the other hand completely interferes with the sensors. However, you can obtain a sensor relocation kit from a Honda dealership to solve this problem if you prefer this hitch. view full answer...
So there are a few important differences between the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 76128, Curt Trailer Hitch # C13397 and etrailer.com Trailer Hitch # e98848 that fit your 2019 Honda CR-V, which I'll go over for you.
The first difference is the look; as you can see by the accompanying photo, the Curt and etrailer hitch have a concealed crosstube while the Draw-Tite has an exposed crosstube. What that means is the tube (the main body) of the Draw-Tite hitch is going to be visible while the... view full answer...
Both the etrailer # e98848 and Draw-Tite # 76128 hitch receivers feature a 2 inch receiver and require no drilling for installation.
However, the # e98848 offers a more concealed look, which also means the installation is a bit more involved. The finish on the etrailer hitch is a matte black powder coat as opposed to the e-coat base and more of a glossy powder coat finish of the Draw-Tite. If you're taking it to a shop or you're mechanically inclined, and aesthetics are important to you,... view full answer...
The comparison of the Curt Class III 2-Inch Hitch, part # C13119, and the Draw-Tite Class III 2-Inch Hitch, part # 75742, for the 2013 Honda CRV is very similar. The tongue weight difference of 350 lbs for the Curt and 525 lbs for the Draw-Tite would be one of the biggest differences.
Also, if you will be using the hitch to haul a hitch accessory like a bike rack or cargo carrier, the warranty on the Curt hitch does require the use of a stabilizing strap like the Curt Support Strap, part... view full answer...
Both the etrailer # e98848 and the Curt # C13397 are very similar in that they both fit a 2024 Honda CR-V. Our etrailer brand hitch is actually made by Curt, so both hitches will be identical as far as design and weight capacity. The only difference is that the Curt brand hitch uses a gloss black coating, while our etrailer brand hitch uses a matte black powder coating. We have found that the matte black powder coating is better at resisting scuffing and scratching. It will also blend better... view full answer...
Both of the trailer wiring harnesses you mentioned have good reviews from our customers. Since most folks tend to price shop they may choose the Curt Wiring Harness, part # C56158.
The Tow-Ready Harness, part # 118561 is a nice harness as well and both use the same connection points located behind the driver side tail lights. Both harnesses use the powered module that connects uses power from the battery and reduces strain on the electrical system of your CR-V.

Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch are both sister companies that are owned by the same parent company, Cequent Performance Products. Both hitches are identical. The hitches share the same weight capacity, installation would be the same and the quality would be equal.
If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll need the ball mount, part # 36051. You'll also need the trailer wiring harness, part # 118561 and a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19256 or a 2 inch ball, part # 19258.

The Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, # 118427, and the Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness, # C55106, are basically the same harness from two different manufacturers. The main difference between these two harnesses is that Curt uses surface-mount technology (SMT) which is newer technology from the older through-hole technology.
The Curt harness also has higher amp ratings of 3 amps per circuit for the stop and turn lights and 7.5 amps per circuit for the tail lights. The Tow Ready harness... view full answer...
Both of the Curt hitch-mount folding cargo carriers # C18151 and (Discontinued) C18153 fit in a 2-inch hitch and offer a 500-lb loaded cargo weight capacity.
The primary differences are the carriers' weights and the type of shank on the carriers. Part # C18151 has a shipping weight of 58-lbs while the (Discontinued) C18153 has a 70-lb shipping weight due to slightly beefier construction. It also has an angled shank that provides 2-inches of additional ground clearance, which is a good... view full answer...
Looks like you really did your research! I attached two videos below of video reviews of both bike racks on the same 2018 Honda CR-V to help you compare the bike racks.
While I usually recommend the Camber # TH9056 between the two because it is lighter and easier to use, when it comes to clearance, it's the Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR that wins. In the video, you can see how there's 9-1/2" of clearance between the bumper and the closest bar on the carrier and then another two inches to... view full answer...
The Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 and other hitch immobilizers use the force from tightening the U-bolt to force the hitch shank or ball mount to seat tight against the opening of your vehicle's hitch. The hitch immobilizers are designed eliminate the rattle and help secure the hitch mounted accessory.
The main difference between the Quiet Hitch and the StowAway style, we have a version of this anti-rattle device # RSCP, is that one was designed by a company that make tow bars and the... view full answer...
The Hollywood Racks Destination, part # HLY94FR, does not have the tilt-away function that other bike racks have, which is crucial when wanting to open your rear hatch while bikes are attached. For this rack, your bikes will have to be removed to access your hatch.
I have found a similar platform rack that does have the tilt-away function. It's the v. Like the Destination, it can fit 1-1/4" and 2" hitches, it can carry 2 bikes, and it secures those bikes by the frame. It also has the fold-up... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13397 is the same as the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2"# e98848 regarding measurements and rated capacities. The only difference is the powder coat finish. The Curt hitch has a gloss black finish where the etrailer hitch has a matte black finish. It really comes down to your preference but many people like the matte black because it draws less attention to the receiver... view full answer...

I called Husky Liners to check since both Husky Liners WeatherBeater Custom Auto Floor Liners look identical. My contact said that part # HL98471 is meant to fit Honda CR-Vs from 2015-2016 and that part # HL98451 would only fit up to 2014.
However, we do have an install video of the # HL98451 being installed on a 2015 Honda CR-V, so any changes that they made must have been minimal. Either liner will fit for in your 2016 Honda CR-V. view full answer...
