Is Trimming the Fascia Required to Install a Hitch on the 2021 Honda CR-V
Question:
Hello, So I am looking at getting a trailer hitch for a 2021 Honda CR-V Hybrid. I dont want to drill or trim any Fascia. The description for the Draw-Tite mentions nothing about trimming Fascia, but when i click and open the install pdf, it does mention trimming. Please help me to correct one.

Expert Reply:
All of the hitches available for the 2021 Honda CR-V Hybrid require some kind of trimming of the fascia, including the Draw-Tite, part # DT79MR.
However, looking at the Curt Class III, part # C13397, you can see how small of a portion needs to be cut and how easy it is. The video installation I've linked to below shows at the 4:21 mark how to cut this. You can follow along with this video as you install the hitch, the Curt being the one I recommend.
