etrailer Class III Trailer Hitch Installation - 2018 Honda CR-V Video

Yes, the Thule Apex XT 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches #TH9024XT will be able to tilt back enough to allow access to the trunk on your 2021 Honda CRV. The bike rack must be empty in order to do this. I attached a demonstration video…

I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2018 Honda CR-V. Under the "Towing a Trailer" section it lists a maximum trailer weight of 1,500 pounds. This is the heaviest trailer your CR-V can safely pull. In order…

The etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver #e98848 does require some fascia to be trimmed during installation (it's what allows for the hitch's sleek hidden design) and I can absolutely help you with this process. I have attached an image from…

The etrailer hitch part #e98848 that fits your 2022 Honda CR-V comes with all needed install hardware so you would not need to source any bolts as it's all included. That said this hitches with 4 bolts that are 7/16-14 and one that is 1/2-13 and…

For your 2018 Honda CR-V I recommend the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch #C13397 because it provides the most hidden design when installed on the vehicle. When the hitch is mounted only the receiver portion will be visible beneath the bumper and its…

Yes. The Curt #C13397 has a 2" receiver opening and would be a great option for carrying around a Thule T2 Pro XTR #TH83JV on the rear of your 2019 Honda CR-V. If you already have the Thule T2, you'll want to make sure that it has the…

If you are installing a Draw Tite hitch part #75742 on your 2015 Honda CR-V the Thule T2 Pro XTT part #TH83JV would fit and work well. To answer your first question you would easily have the ability to carry two road bikes with this setup. You also…

The biggest difference between the Draw-Tite #76128, Curt #C13397, and etrailer #e98848 trailer hitches for your 2018 Honda CR-V is that the Draw-Tite has a visible cross tube once installed while the Curt and etrailer have a "hidden"…

Using Loctite when installing a trailer hitch is not required but it can certainly be used to create an even stronger bond. Blue Loctite like the Blue Stick #LT37643 is plenty sufficient for this application. As long as the hardware for your hitch is…

The best trailer hitch for your 2018 Honda CR-V Touring with the hands-free tailgate is the Curt, part #C13397. I prefer the Curt over the Draw-Tite hitch, part #76128, because the Curt's crossbeam is completely hidden behind the vehicle's…

The RockyMounts MonoRail bike rack you'd looked at, part #RKY10004 is a great bike rack, but it wouldn't work well with bikes that have fenders like your Aventon Aventure Fat tire ebikes. The front fender would prevent the bike retaining hook…

The 3 inch dimension that needs to be cut from the rear bumper to install the etrailer.com hitch part #E98848 that you referenced is measured from the edge of the fascia and matches the angle of it. So the square cut would measure 3 inches. If you…
