Does Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2022 Honda CR-V Require Fascia Trimming

Question:

Hi there, Just bought a 2022 CR-V and am looking for a tow hitch. I like the draw tite options because you dont have to cut the lip of the car. Would there be an option like that? It seems like the 76128 doesnt fit the 2022 model. Is this right? If not, any recommendations? thanks

The Draw-Tite hitch you mentioned is not a fit for the '22 as of yet, and there is fascia required to install a trailer hitch on your 2022 Honda CR-V, but there is an option for a hitch that fits which has very minimal trimming on the underside of the vehicle:

- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13397

The Curt # C13397, which fits all models (including Hybrids) except for the Touring, only requires you to cut a small 3" x 1.275" section of the fascia for installation. I have added a photo for you with the arrow showing where the small section of fascia is cut on your CR-V.

I also wanted to mention that if you do go with this hitch and are going to use it for towing, there is also a 4-way wiring harness you will need, with the correct fit for your 2022 CR-V being the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118741.
