This hitch arrived overnight. Installed it in good time. Most of the install time was due to trimming the fascia of the rear bumper. Took the hitch in and out a few times to make sure that the trimming was precise. I you’ve ever installed a hitch before, this would be an easy install for you.

Went well. It's old school solid and it's heavy, 43 lbs. for the whole kit, I'm glad I got the B & W 3-piece. Plus made in USA. 50 minute install time is pretty rosy. Took me a couple hours by the time I got all the tools out, went through the directions, lowered the exhaust, cut the bumper cover and stone guard, installed the hitch, raised the exhaust, and cleaned up. Working under the car, stone driveway. Backing the car up my ramps really helped. One person is no problem with this hitch. Glad for the videos.

Receiver seems to be of excellent quality and I believe the 3-piece design made installation easier for my situation: solo & with vehicle on the ground. The main purpose was to use a cargo carrier, with the possibility of pulling a lightweight boat & trailer. My one complaint is that the picture shown at the time I ordered it did not match the actual product, so I did not know exactly what to expect when it arrived, I see now that the picture on the review page looks like the product I received. I made my selection based on specs and price, and ultimately I am quite satisfied with the service, the product and final installed result.

Nice fit for the price. Looks OEM once installed. Can install solo (I did), but a second set of hands would help things go quicker. Be prepared to break plastic fasteners if your vehicle has any mileage on it. Most torque wrenches won't have a prayer of getting to all 10 of the nuts, so be ready to crawl under your car and re-tighten after a few hundred miles.

  • What Hitch do I Need for My 2018 Honda CR-V that does Not Require Fascia Trimming?
    Hello Lee, After looking carefully through the hitches, the only one that I see that does not require an trimming is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76128, which happens to be the one that you have installed before. I looked up the OEM hitch receiver ($511... ouch) and it replaces the support beam. There are not any hitches from the aftermarket guys that do that, but work just as well =) If you needed some wiring for the your 2018 Honda...

  • What Trailer Hitch Will Fit My 2026 Honda CRV Hybrid 2 Wheel Drive
    Hey, Bo! Good news, hitch part # BW97BR will absolutely work on your 2026 Honda CR-V, whether it’s a hybrid or non-hybrid model. Right now, we don’t have an installation video for the hybrid version, only for the non-hybrid. However, I double-checked with B&W, and they don’t note any special steps for hybrid models. That means the installation process will be the same for both versions. We have installed a hitch on a hybrid CR-V before, specifically the etrailer hitch part # e98848,...

  • Custom Hitch for a 2023 Honda CR-V
    Thanks for reaching out, Rick. I wouldn't be able to encourage modifying the B&W trailer hitch part # BW97BR. It wouldn't be safe or functional to do so. What are you using the hitch for? Do you have concerns with ground clearance with a bike rack or other hitch mounted accessory? Let me know and I can look into alternate solution for you.
