Does Bumper of 2015 Honda CR-V Need to be Trimmed to Install Hitch
Question:
Hello I am interested in a towing hitch for a 2015 Honda CRV. Does the front bumper have to be cut? Do you have any recommended installers in the Riverside area of southern California?

Since trailer hitches like the Draw Tite part # 75742 install at the rear of the vehicle the front bumper would not be affected. The under fascia of the vehicle at the rear of would need to be trimmed a bit to install the hitch though.
We don't have an installer we can recommend but since hitches are pretty basic for mechanics your best option would be to find a local installer with a good reputation and let them tackle it. I attached an install video link for you to check out as well.
