What Concealed Hitch Receiver Do You Recommend For My 2022 Honda CR-V, Non-Hybrid

Question

Question:

I am interested in getting a Class III concealed hitch receiver for my 2022 Honda CR-V. It is not a hybrid. What is your recommendation and will it interfere with my hands free hatch sensor?

We offer two Class III concealed hitch receivers that will fit your 2022 Honda CR-V. They each have a maximum tongue weight of 525 lbs and a maximum gross trailer weight of 3,500 lbs. They have the same style safety chain tabs. Both hitch receivers measure 14" from the ground to the top of the receiver tube. I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2", part # e98848, for two reasons. The first reason is it has a distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the bumper of 1-1/2", making it compatible with most of our hitch mounted accessories. My second reason is my preference for a matte black finish instead of a gloss black finish.

I have included a product description link and a video installation link below.

Some trimming of the rear fascia on your 2020 Honda CR-V is indeed required when installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver #e98848 to allow clearance for the drop-down receiver. You will just need to use some shears/snips to trim about 3" x…

I would discourage the use of an adapter for use of 2 inch accessories in 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receivers. The reason is that the adapter places the carrier farther away from the rear of the vehicle and hitch, creating additional torque that 1-1/4…

The Kuat Transfer 3 Bike Rack #KU24FR cannot be used on 1-1/4" hitches and only comes equipped to be carried on a 2" receiver. If you need to carry 3 bikes on a vehicle with a 1-1/4" hitch there are not platform racks available for…

Answer 10

The only available 1-1/4" receiver Class II hitch for the 2021 Honda CR-V Hybrid currently is the Curt #C12169, but it's a great choice because of the durable powder coating that Curt uses on their hitches. If you don't already have a…

Curt manufactures the #e98848 hitch for us. They don't list the hitch as a fit for the hybrid model, but we have successfully installed the hitch on a hybrid model and several of our customers have provided feedback that it's a confirmed fit.…

Answer 12

You actually don't have to retorque trailer hitch install hardware as the bolts are torque to yield which means once they are torqued they won't go anywhere. Now with that said all of the torque figures are listed in the attached install…
