Expert Answers about Honda CR-V


  • Do I Need Single or Dual Fuse Bypass To Flat Tow 2014 Honda CR-V
  • I checked the owner's manual for the 2014 Honda CR-V and the only fuse that needs to be pulled is the accessory radio fuse in the interior fuse box. You need the single bypass part # RM76511. However, the owner's manual says fuse 19 and the picture shows the wrong location. Roadmaster put out a tech bulletin with the correct location of the radio fuse. I have attached a photo for your reference.

  • Do Tow Hooks Need to be Removed on 2019 Honda CR-V to Install etrailer Hitch 98848
  • Yes. In order to install a trailer hitch like the etrailer # e98848 you will need to remove any tow hook that might be attached to the rear frame stanchions. It isn't uncommon for SUVs that don't come standard with a hitch come with some sort of recovery point, and they're typically able to be removed by un-doing a few bolts. This hitch has a 2" receiver that's perfect for carrying bike racks or towing a small trailer. It looks like you were looking at bike racks as well, so I've linked...

  • What Does Recessed Trailer Hitch Mean on a 2015 Honda CR-V
  • The recessed hitch pin hole tech tip simply means that the trailer hitch sits further back under the vehicle than most trailer hitches so you will want to be sure that you have adequate clearance with any of your hitch mounted accessories.

I have attached a photo of this for you as well. The distance will not...

This tow bar will work with your XL base plates, no adapter needed.

  • Will the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit Work with a Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar on a 2004 Honda CR-V

The # 1541-1 is also the correct base plate kit for the 2004 Honda CR-V. You will also need safety cables. I recommend Roadmaster Safety Cables, # RM-643.

  • Can I Re-Position the Clamps Inside a Thule Motion XT?
  • I'm not completely familiar with the factory roof racks that came on Honda vehicles, but you may not be able to adjust the crossbars; you'll want to have a look at where they are mounted on the raised side rails and see if there is some sort of screw that can be unscrewed and would allow you to reposition them to your desired spots. If you find out that you're not able to move them around and you're stuck with the factory install points on the roof rack, there is still a way to work around...

  • Hitch Recommendation For Bike Rack On 2005 Honda CR-V With Spare Tire
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13535 has 8-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to outside edge of the spare tire when we installed the hitch on a 2006 Honda CR-V is 8 and 1/2". The Draw-Tite hitch from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outside of the spare tire on a 2005 Honda CR-V is 8-3/4". The Draw-Tite is just a bit less recessed than the Curt so it is the better option since it will provide more clearance. It sounds like you may have the RockyMounts BackStage...

  • I can confirm that, according to Thule, the # TH830 Stacker Rooftop Multi-Kayak Carrier fits factory crossbars on a 2011 Honda CR-V. Assuming your aftermarket bars are the same as the factory crossbars, this will be able to mount on your vehicle. This carrier requires 24" minimum bar spread for proper mounting and holds up to 4 kayaks. It folds down flat for a cleaner look when not in use. The kayak you are carrying can be no longer than 10 feet for this carrier. I have attached a video...

  • How to Carry Bike with Fenders on 2010 Honda CR-V
  • The Thule Helium 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH44VR fits the hitch for your 2010 Honda CR-V but we do not recommend wheel mounted bike racks for bikes with fenders.

  • EBike Rack Recommendation For A 2006 Honda CR-V
  • To handle the weight of an ebike you'll have to have a class III hitch installed rated for atleast 350lbs. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13535. The Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # S94FR will fold up out of the way and will allow you to open the rear hatch. The distance from center of hitch pin hole to the closest part of rack when folded down is 15-1/2" so you'll have plenty of room for your spare tire.
