Will the Thule Helium 2 Bike Rack Fit on a 2017 Honda CR-V with the Curt Class III Hitch ?

Question:

I would like to know if it will fit on a 2017 Honda CRV with Curt Class III hitch ? Im concerned about the potential clearance issue with the bumper when folding the rack when not in use.

The good thing about the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13397 is that the hitch opening is exactly at the end of the bumper on your 2017 Honda CR-V. I went ahead and attached a video that shows the hitch on a 2017 Honda CR-V.

With that being said, the Thule Helium 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting - Wheel Mount # TH44VR will clear your bumper when it is folded up without any bikes. The measurement of the center pinhole of the Curt Hitch to the closest part of the Helium 2 when folded up is 5 inches, so it will give you the clearance you need without interference of the bumper.
