Specs:
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.
At etrailer.com we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers. The one-on-one, personal service you'll receive comes straight from an expert in the towing and automotive field. We've installed it, we've wired it and we've towed with it, so whatever your question, we can answer it.

Today on this 2009 Honda CR-V we are going to be installing Draw-Tite hitch part number 24792. This installation will also apply for Hidden Hitch part number 60869. We are underneath the vehicle and before we get started pointing out the mounting holes for the trailer hitch we want to lower the exhaust off the passenger side frame rail. There are two hangers that we need to lower the exhaust off of. They are both here at the rear side of the exhaust system. To remove the exhaust off its hangers we just want to take a spray lubricant and spray down the studs. Then we can take either a set of pliers or a pry bar and pry it off the stud. We can just let the exhaust rest on the cross bar. 00:37
With the exhaust lowered we are actually taking a look at the driver side frame rail first. You can see we have got a large one inch hole at the bottom of the frame. We are going to be using that as our attaching point on both the driver and passenger sides. We are going to be using a carriage bolt and block assembly. We are actually going to do what is called a reverse pull. We are going to feed it up into this actual mounting hole and pull it back straight down. Along with the frame mounted attaching points we do have a center attaching point for the hitch and that is going to be to factory installed tow hook. 01:04
You will notice that on the driver side frame rail, the hole is just a little bit too small to get our block and also our carriage bolt into so we are going to need to enlarge it just a little bit just before we get started. You can do this a couple of different ways. You can either take a rotary tool to work out the side. The instructions illustrate exactly how much you are going to need to take. Or you can take a standard chisel and do it that way as well. We have opened it up just enough to get our block and carriage bolt in there. To now accomplish our reverse pull of our hardware into the frame. Again we are going to using the bolt leader that is provided with our installation kit. What we want to do is first take our block and slide in our bolt leader through it and then take our 7-1/ 16 inch carriage bolt and thread the bolt leader on to the carriage bolt. Then we will take the carriage bolt and feed it up through the hole followed by the block and pull it straight back down into position. Repeat that for the passenger side as well. 02:00
Then we will put the hitch up into position and hang it by the carriage bolts. With the frames bolts loosely installed you can go now to the center attaching point to the tow hook. We are going to be using the 1/ 2 by 2-1/ 2 inch bolt along with the one by two inch spacer. We are going to merge those two together. We are also going to need two of the one by two inch spacers with the round hole in them. Those are going to go in between the hitch and the tow hook. We will be attaching those together using the conical tooth washer and hex nut. With all of the hardware in place we can go through and start torquing our bolts down. You want to verify with the directions the specific torque rating for each of bolts. With all of our bolts torqued down we just want to make sure we put our exhaust back up on its hangers and our installation will be complete. Now that we have got our hitch installed we are going to give you a couple of dimensions that will help make choosing your hitch accessories a little easier. From the ground to the top of the receiver tube opening is going to measure 12-7/ 8 inches. From the center of the pin hole to clear the rear edge of the bumper is going to measure approximately 7 inches. This will conclude the installation of Draw-Tite hitch part number 24792 on a 2009 Honda CR-V.

Installing hitch on 2011 honda CR-V The draw-tite hitch is a good product. I have had them on two other vehicles and they worked fine. Instructions for installation are clear. However, I did have a couple of issues during the installation. Whe the carriage bolts are in place and I attempted to place the hitch, the carriage bolts wanted to go back up into the frame rail. Of course, you can't let this happen. Additionally, I do not have "C" clamps to temporarily hold the hitch in place so one person getting the washer and bolt in place can be a problem. I tried to use the floor jack but the uneven weight of the hitch made it more trouble than help. Finally, I was able to torque the driver's side carriage bolt and center bolt without a problem. But, the passenger side with the muffler in the way caused a clearance problem for my torque wrench. The installation is complete and I expect years of use out of the hitch. Overall, the installation was fine. If I had the proper "C" clamps and a smaller torque wrench, the job would have been a lot smoother.5469

The service and delivery was excellent. The hitch was fairly easy to install having an air chisel and compressor. I did modify the rear attachment by addding a larger washer on the bolt head side for a little extra piece of mind and also spray painted the hardware black for asthetics. Great product for the price!29225

I could not have asked for an easier installation. Between the instructions and the video it went smoothly. I took my time, and used a rat-tail file to enlarge the holes in the frame to fit the spacers. I sprayed undercoating on all the surfaces, then bolted up the hitch. I hung the hitch on the tow hook first, then slipped the wire through the hitch and bolded up one side at a time. The installation would have went faster with a helper, but if one takes their time it can be done alone without any trouble. Terrific service from etrailer! 12444

I've installed a number Draw-Tite hitches on many different vehicles. They have all installed quickly and easily including this one I purchased for my CRV. I installed it in about 20mins without any issues. One recommedation I would offer is get yourself some rust inhibting spray paint and after making any drill holes, etc in the frame of the vehicle spray the frame prior to installing the hitch to prevent rust. Additionally, I always spray the entire hitch with rust inhibiting spray paint as well to cover scratches made during install and to cover exposed bolts etc. These hitches work great but rust quick! Spraying them prior to use extends the life of the hitch and prevents the eye sore of a rust ridden hitch. 11121

not a 30 minute job for me The installation of this hitch on my 2009 Honda CRV was not a 30 minute job - more like 1.5 hr. It does not require drilling but it does require a rat tail file to open up notch in the frame hole about 1/8 in. I could not file the notch or get the spacer (item 2) into the hole without removing the muffler. It is quite easy to remove the muffler (if the two bolts are not to rusty) and have complete access.1695

Difficult Installation This is a tedious installation due to the fact that you must "enlarge" (code word for drill or file) an existing hole in the hollow frame rails first. Then you must insert the bolt with a "pull wire" into the rail and pull it back down through the metal plate that is also inserted into the frame rail. You will need a helper for the install (or some other way to hold the hitch perfectly in place when messing with the wired bolts). This is a nice hitch but if I had it to do over, I'd pay the extra money for the Class III hitch that utilizes the existing treaded holes in the vehicle.1309
