• Will the TowSmart Hitch # TS67ZR Fit My 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid Model?
  Hello Danny, Great question! I am sorry but the TowSmart Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # TS67ZR does not fit the hybrid model. The good news is that our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98848 does fit the hybrid model. If you need wiring as well for light towing or a hitch mounted accessory you will want the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118741, and don't forget a mounting...

• Is TowSmart Trailer Hitch Receiver Easy To Install Myself On 2025 Honda CR-V Or Is Dealership Needed
  You could definitely handle it if you’re comfortable with basic tools or have a helper, Laura. The TowSmart # TS67ZR install is all bolt-on - no welding or drilling. You’ll lower the exhaust, fishwire bolts through the frame holes, and torque everything to spec around 70–75 ft-lbs. Most DIYers get it done in about an hour with a floor jack or set of ramps, but a lift is certainly easier. If you’re planning to tow, add the T-One Wiring Harness # 118741 for your trailer lights and the Ball...

• 2" Trailer Hitch To Carry Thule Ebike Rack On Back Of 2025 Honda CR-V Sport
  For sure, Angela. The TowSmart # TS67ZR is ideal for that - it’s a Class III, 2-inch receiver rated for 675 lbs tongue weight, so it can easily handle heavy-duty racks or e-bikes. The receiver sits about 13-1/4” from the ground, giving plenty of clearance for ramps or tilt-away racks. If you’re only hauling bikes, you won’t need trailer wiring or a ball mount - but it’s nice knowing the hitch can handle towing later if you want. Which Thule rack are you using?

• How Does TowSmart Hitch For CR-V Compare To Curt Hitch To Tow Small Boat Trailer?
  That’s a great question, Brian. Both are solid Class III options, but the TowSmart 2" hitch # TS67ZR gives you a slight edge in versatility. It’s rated for 4,500 lbs towing and 675 lbs tongue weight, while the comparable Curt hitch # C13397 is typically rated around 3,500/525 lbs. Keep in mind, you'll still be limited by the vehicle's towing capacity which you can find in the owner's manual of your CR-V. The TowSmart also uses a matte black powder coat that hides scuffs and road grime better...

• Good Quality Powder Coated 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2025 Honda CR-V EXL To Pull Small Trailer
  Absolutely, Derek - the TowSmart # TS67ZR is a great match for your 2025 CR-V EX-L. It’s rated for 4,500 lbs towing and 675 lbs tongue weight, which is well above your Honda’s limit of 1,500 lbs for small trailers. That gives you a healthy safety margin while staying within what the vehicle can handle.

• Is There A Hitch For Adding Bike Rack To 2019 Honda CR-V?
  Yes it will, Jason - the TowSmart 2" hitch # TS67ZR fits 2017–2027 Honda CR-V models just not the Hybrid, so it’ll bolt right onto your 2019. The install is fully bolt-on, no drilling needed, and it’s strong enough to handle any 2 inch bike rack or cargo carrier rated for SUVs. If you plan to tow in the future, grab the Wiring Harness # 118741 and the Ball Mount Kit # 989891, but for now you can use it right away with your bike rack. How many bikes are you planning to haul - two adult...

• Trunk Bike Rack Is Not Rated High Enough For Heavy Bikes On Back Of 2025 Honda CR-V
  Absolutely, Megan - switching to a hitch-mounted rack with the TowSmart 2" trailer hitch receiver # TS67ZR is the safest move. Trunk racks can shift under heavy loads or damage paint, especially on newer SUVs with soft tailgate panels. Also, most roof racks aren't rated high enough for more than a couple 35lb bikes. This hitch gives you the standard sized 2-inch receiver with 675 lbs tongue weight capacity, so it’ll handle even two heavy bikes on a platform rack with no issue. Plus, installation...

• Does TowSmart 2" Hitch Receiver Sit Low Enough To Open Hatch Of CR-V With Cargo Carrier Installed?
  Great question, Josh. Once installed, the TowSmart # TS67ZR sits just below the bumper, with about 13-1/4 inches of ground clearance to the receiver opening. That position allows most cargo carriers to clear the liftgate when folded down or tilted. It’s also close enough to the back of the bumper so that folding racks typically won’t contact the bumper - just about 2 inches from the hitch pin to the bumper edge, so it’s a nice balanced setup for clearance and stability. If you plan to...

• Is Roof Rack Or Hitch Bike Rack Safer For Putting 2 Ebikes On 2025 Honda CR-V ?
  Good thinking, Paul - e-bikes can weigh 60–70 lbs each, and lifting them onto a roof rack is tough and risky and is not recommended. The TowSmart # TS67ZR hitch paired with a bike rack is a much better option. It gives you a 2-inch receiver that can safely support a heavy-duty platform rack rated for up to 675 lbs tongue weight, so it easily handles e-bikes without straining your back or damaging your roof. The hitch also keeps your setup lower to the ground for easier loading and better...

• Is Hitch And Cargo Box Able To Be Added to 2025 Honda CR-V?
  Definitely, Sarah - even if you never tow, the TowSmart # TS67ZR is one of the most useful upgrades you can add to your 2025 CR-V. It lets you use a hitch-mounted cargo carrier or swing-away storage box, adding hundreds of pounds of capacity outside your cabin. It’s safer and easier to load than a roof box, which is limited to around 150 lbs total, and keeps your center of gravity low for better handling. The matte black powder coat also looks great and holds up well to road grime. I'd...

• Can 2025 Honda CR-V Tow A Small Pop-Up Camper with A Hitch?
  You bet, Alan - the TowSmart 2 inch receiver # TS67ZR can handle it with ease. It’s rated for 4,500 lbs towing and 675 lbs tongue weight, which exceeds your CR-V’s limit of 1,500 lbs towing. That means the hitch will never be the weak point - you’ll just need to stay within your Honda’s capacity. So the real question is, how heavy is your popup? Hopefully it's under 1,500lbs so you can safely tow it with your 2025 CR-V. For a complete towing setup, you’ll need the T-One Wiring Harness...

• Will the TowSmart Hitch TS67ZR Fit a 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid?
  Hey Wesley. The TowSmart Trailer Hitch item # TS67ZR does not fit the Hybrid model of the 2022 Honda CR-V. We had a customer try to install one on a hybrid and it did not work. That is why it says Excluding Hybrid. For a hitch compatible with the 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid, you'll want the Curt item # C13397. This hitch fits both the hybrid and non-hybrid models of the 2022 CR-V. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. What do you plan on using a hitch for?
