• Can Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver be Bent That Doesnt Quite Fit 2009 Honda CR-V
  With trailer hitch receivers that have brackets like the Curt # 13555 receiver that you purchased for your 2009 Honda CR-V, it is not uncommon for those brackets to get slightly bent during the whole shipping process. If you wanted to return it there are chances that the replacement could get slightly bent during the whole shipping and delivering process as well. You should be able to bend it back into place and if need be you can use a mallet to assist you. You could take it to a pro...

• Towing Capacity and Recommended Towing Components for 2010 Honda CR-V
  I checked your owners manual online and your CR-V is rated to pull 1500 lbs max as you stated. I wouldn't hesitated to pull a 1200 or 1350 lb pop-up camper but you do need to make sure it has brakes. You will need a hitch, ball mount, wiring harness, and a brake controller. I recommend the following for your 2010 Honda CR-V: -Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13555 -T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118427 -7-Way RV Upgrade...

• Trailer Hitch Weight for a 2011 Honda CR-V
  I'd be happy to help! All of the hitches for your 2011 Honda CR-V weigh relatively the same when it comes to the different classes, and while the Class I hitches definitely weight lighter I recommend using a Class III hitch since they have a 2" receiver and can handle a wider variety of accessories. Out of the hitches listed below I recommend the Draw-Tite Hitch # 75547 since it's a Class III hitch with a weight of about 27 lbs. Here are the rest of the hitches: Class I Draw-Tite -...

• Does Suspension Sag Need to Be Factored in When Determining Ball Mount Rise/Drop
  Since the goal when picking out the correct rise/drop ball mount is to tow the trailer as level as possible you would want to compensate for sag like you mentioned. 3 inches of sag is quite a bit but you'd need to factor it in when towing if that's what you are experiencing. To combat the sag a great option is the Timbern kit part # TDR1500DS which will fit your 2017 Ram 1500 as long as you don't have factory air suspension.

• Is it Better for a Trailer to Be Slightly Nose High or Nose Low When Picking Out Ball Mount
  Getting the trailer as close to level as you have should be just fine. If your only options are to be a tiny bit too high or a tiny bit too low I usually recommend going on the high side since most likely the suspension will compress slightly from the weight of the tongue weight and it will get very close to level. I attached a help article on picking out ball mount rise/drop for you to check out as well.

• Best Hitch for a 2011 Honda CR-V
  I pulled the manual for your 2011 Honda CRV. It says your vehicle tops out at 1,500 lbs for towing capacity so paying extra for a 4,500 lbs capacity hitch like item # 75547 doesn't make sense. Adding this high of a capacity hitch won't give you anymore than the 1,500 lbs your CRV is rated for. The best hitch for both value and ability is going to be the etrailer Hitch item # e39AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your 2011 Honda CR-V with included hardware. This is our house brand...

• How to Determine Correct Ball Mount Rise or Drop for Towing a Trailer with a 17 Inch Coupler Height

I am including a link to an instruction page detailing how to measure for the correct ball mount and how to measure the ball mount. With the Curt Trailer Hitch, item # 13555, for your 2008 Honda CRV the recommended ball mount is the Draw-Tite Ball Mount, item # 2753,...

• Does the EcoHitch Trailer Hitch for a 2008 Honda CR-V Require Rear Bumper Trimming
  The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7291 which is a fit for a 2008 Honda CR-V does indeed require trimming of the rear bumper fascia but no drilling.

Unfortunately, the draw back of the hidden install look and maintained ground clearance is trimming of...

• Recommendation for Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2011 Honda CR-V
  A Class II hitch would use a 1-1/4 inch receiver, for a 2 inch receiver tube you'd want a Class III hitch. We offer two US Made Class III hitches that I'd recommend, the # 13555 from Curt or the # 306-X7291 from EcoHitch. Both hitches share the same 3500 lb gross trailer weight capacity. The Curt has a tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs while the EcoHitch has a capacity of 525 lbs. The primary difference between the two is that the EcoHitch model installs so the majority of the hitch is...

• Which 2 Inch Trailer Hitch for 2007 Honda CR-V
  I'd be happy to help you with that. If you're the type of person that doesn't care for the appearance of a trailer hitch, a mostly-concealed hitch like the EcoHitch # 306-X7291 is what I'd recommend. The only visible portion of the hitch will be the receiver opening and the loops for the safety chains. The remainder of the hitch will be concealed by the bumper. If the appearance of a hitch installed on your vehicle doesn't bother you and you'd like something at a more reasonable price...

• 2018 Toyota Tacoma Ball Hitch Mount Size
  That's a tall camper! I'd recommend going with a 6 inch rise option like the Curt # C45090. Even though your camper doesn't have much tongue weight, you'll still get a bit of sag in the truck's suspension when you hitch the camper, so the little bit of extra height will compensate for that. For a trailer ball, use # 63845. I've linked to some help articles that will tell you everything you ever needed to know about ball mounts.

• Parts Needed to Tow Motorcycle Trailer with 2017 Nissan Sentra
  I have a solution for you, but the Curt # 13555 is designed to fit on mid 2000s Honda CR-V's and not the 2017 Nissan Sentra, so you wouldn't be able to use that hitch. Instead, I recommend using the Curt # C11349 which is a confirmed fit on your vehicle. The Curt hitches tend to have a more durable powder coating on them to some of the other available hitches so it will hold up much better to rust and corrosion. In order to tow with your 2017 Nissan Sentra you will also need a wiring...
