What is the Tongue Weight Rating of the Draw-Tite 75742 Hitch on a 2015 Honda CR-V

Question:

This hitch lists a TW of 675 lbs. Can I actually load 675 of TW on it, or am I limited by the rating for the 2015 CR-V I am putting it on?

When using a hitch like the Draw-Tite # 75742 you are always limited by the lowest rated component in the setup; if the vehicle's tongue weight rating is less than the rating of the hitch then you will be limited by the vehicle's rating. From what I was able to determine from my research it looks like the 2015 CR-V only has a towing capacity of 1500-lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 150-lbs, so you will be limited to that 150-lbs and not the tongue weight rating of the hitch.

I've linked a review and installation video of this hitch for you to check out, as well.
