Hey Joseph,

There's currently only one 2" trailer hitch receiver available for a 2024 Honda HR-V at this time with the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH52KR. For the trailer wiring you'll need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C44NR. If you'd rather have the connector live out on the trailer hitch rather than in the trunk and have to drape it out every time you need to tow you'll want to pick up a no-drill mount # 18140 and bracket # 18144

Answer 7

Well shackle length is mainly based on the height difference between the front and rear hangers. The rear hanger normally doesn't hang as low as the front so that the shackle can offset the difference and add the ability to move. What is the…
