Which Hitch Sticks Out the Most on a 2017 Honda Accord

Question:

Hello - I am trying to decide between Item # C11496 and Item # C11681, two hitches for a 2017 Honda Accord. I would like the hitch that extends furthest out from the car. On your website, Item # 24899 shows dimensions in a photograph. From the mounting hole to the end of the receiver is 11.75 inches. Is there a similar dimension available for Item # C11681?

For your 2017 Honda Accord, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11681 would give you the greatest extension. When we installed this hitch on a 2015 Honda Accord we found that the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outer edge of the bumper is 2-3/4".

When we installed the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11496 on a 2017 Honda Accord we found that the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outer edge of the bumper is 3". I have attached both of these install videos for you. A 2015 and 2017 Honda Accord are the same generation (9th) so the distances will be the same from 2013-2017.

Please note that if you will be using the Curt hitch for any non-towing accessories then you will also need to use the support strap part # 18050 to maintain your warranty.
