In order to flat-tow your 2009 Honda CR-V with four wheels downs, which is the recommended way to tow this vehicle according to the owner's manual, you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, a supplemental brake system, a flat-tow wiring harness, and a possible high-low adapter. I have attached my recommendations on the above items for you below.
Base Plates: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX2246 (See Install Video)
Tow Bar: Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar part # BX7380 (See Install Video)
Supplemental Braking System: Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR
Flat-Tow Wiring Harness: Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights part # TL21RK
High-Low Adapter: (See Article/Selection)
In addition to the above key components you will also need the Roadmaster Fuse Bypass part # RM76511 and the Roadmaster 12 Volt Outlet Kit part # RM-9332. The fuse bypass will be needed for the #34 fuse in the fuse box as this will prevent battery drain and the outlet kit is to power the braking system.
