How to Identify Which 2003 Honda CR-V Hitch Hardware Kit I Need
Question:
Hi there, I have a Honda CRV 2003. I also have a used hitch that is painted over and I cannot get the make and model number for it, but it did come off a 2003 Honda CRV. I would just like to know what hitch assembly hardware is the right kit for me. You know, The kit that has the fishing wire and flat metal pieces. Thank you very much!

Helpful Expert Reply:
There are 3 hitches made for the 2003 Honda CRV. They each are designed differently and they each have different hardware kits. There are three Class III hitches, the Draw-Tite # 75690, the Curt # 13535, and the etrailer Hitch # e69AR. You can order the replacement hardware using part # RHK and entering the hitch part number. I've also linked the installation instructions for all 3 hitches and an installation video for two of them for your convenience.
Keep in mind that we don't recommend using a salvaged hitch if the vehicle was in a rear-end collision. Hairline fractures in the steel could be hard to see and could compromise the hitch integrity and cause it to fail.
