Trailer Hitch with Trailer Wiring Mounting Tab Recommendation for a 2012 Honda CR-V

Question

Question:

The trailer hitches that you have available for the 2012 Honda CR-V do not show a small bracket to hold the wire plug adaptor for the lights. I am interested in the #75547 but cannot see it in the photo. Does this hitch have one and if so could you provide a photo of it? If not on this hitch is there another that does? Please respond a.s.a.p. as I would like to place an order. Thanks !

The Curt Mfg. Class I trailer hitch, # C11555, does not have a bracket welded to the cross tube for installation of a trailer wiring holder bracket, like part # 18144.

You could install the # 18144 bracket on the hitch easily with the No Drill Mount Bracket, # 18140, see the video installation that I attached for you.

If you are interested in a Class III trailer hitch like the Draw-Tite # 75547, that you mentioned, you could use the Draw-Tite Class III hitch, # 75742, which is the correct application for the 2012 CR-V and has a tab welded to the cross tube for installation of the # 18144 bracket. I attached a photo showing the tab on the # 75742 hitch for you to see.

The # 75547 hitch will not fit on the 2012 CR-V.

To complete your towing setup you may need the following items:

etrailer.com Drop Ball Mount Kit, # EBMK4
Tow Ready Wiring kit, # 118561
