2022 AWD. This should have been a slam-dunk easy install. It wasn't. Everything was going well right up until the slots in the hitch wouldn't line up with the attachment bolts. It gave the appearance that the hitch was 'out of square' and that it needed to slide to the passenger side about 1/8". No matter how much I pried, it simply would not line up with the bolts. Then I found the culprit. There was an unused electrical plug (shown in photo, possibly the trailer wiring connector) on the driver's side attached to the body, perfectly positioned to prevent the hitch from sliding forward. This was just thick enough to prevent aligning the bolts with the holes. Very subtle... Once I snipped off the attachment pin and moved the plug out of the way, the hitch easily went in to place. All this frustration could have been prevented with another paragraph or two in the instructions. The hitch itself is excellent, the instructions, not so much.
Success! From searching for a hitch, to ordering, receiving, and installing etrailer made every step seamless. The install video was excellent. Detailed enough to know what expect during install. Concise enough to inspire confidence this can be done at home in the garage. Aided by the video, the hitch installed in 90 minutes.

That's awesome Al, that's what we are here for! Thanks for including photos, the hitch install looks good.
This hitch is great. Fits my 2018 Honda CR-V perfectly, and the slight trimming of the plastic bumper cover is not visible. Use if for hauling my gravel bike, but would have no reservation about pulling an appropriate size trailer. This is the 3rd hitch I've bought for different vehicles over the years. The service at etrailer is as good as the products they sell. Highly recommend..

Have used it with my bike rack hundreds of times. It does its job and doesnt distract from the appearance of my CR-V
Great company. I've installed 5 hitches over the years from etrailer.com
Always a perfect fit, relatively easy installation thanks to their videos. This time I had a shortage of hardware and they quickly sent me another hardware kit so I could complete the job.
Thank you etrailer for your great products, helpful videos an stellar customer service.
This is the third hitch I have purchased from Etrailer in the last 2 years, everything thing they do is first class from pricing to the quick shipping and the customer service but the packaging department is terrible. When you put a 40-50 lbs. hitch in a generic sized box with a little cardboard strap stapled to the side it will move around and break thru, see photos attached. When I went to install it one of the holes would not line up so I took it down and noticed that the hitch had been bent.
I would rather wait an extra day for delivery instead waiting an extra day for the paint to dry.

Unfortunately, it is very common for hitches to bend during shipment. This is because the hitch is made to flex slightly to prevent stress cracks during shipment. I have a link below for your reference.

The hitch is working as expected after I straighten it and painted it, hopefully your packaging has improved..
Fairly easy to install. 2024 cr-v hybrid. Easier with two people but did it myself with a floor jack.

Still working and looking great. No regrets
Looks like a factory install. Easy install with 2 people but possible with one with more time. Etrailer install videos, fast shipping and good pricing make them the best first choice to get hitches and harnesses.
I am really glad that I purchased this Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver for my 2022 Honda CRV. I wanted it only for use with my bike rack that is intended for a class III 2" receiver. The best thing is I like how it is tucked away underneath the back of the vehicle. As you can see in the pictures here, only the receiver is visible. The rest of the hitch is nicely tucked away under the vehicle. I had it installed by a local garage that I go to for normal maintenance of our vehicles. The mechanic said it was easy to install.

The Curt Trailer Hitch is still working out great on our 2022 Honda CR-V FWD. I use it only for my bike rack.
Great price point, excellent build quality and easy installation
One year later, and the hitch receiver is still perfect. I had a trusted neighborhood high schooler install it in autoshop at school. According to him (and his teacher who was a mechanic for 30 years) it was quite a straightforward installation.

Man, the place I live could use a Friendly-Neighborhood-Handyman-In-Training. There are a bunch of folks here with RVs and trailers of all kinds. Sounds like he was skilled if since you trusted him enough with your vehicle - With great skill comes great responsibility!
Very nice hitch and fit well but have to say the directions and the video were not correct on trimming the plastic panel under the spare tire, no reason to cut the sides as in the video on my 2024 crv exl as it is no where close to the hitch but did need to cut out more to the back of the panel.

Good so far
Hitch arrived packaged well. No damage apparent. Videos of installation were very helpful. This hitch was installed on a 2022 Honda CRV Hybrid Touring. The foot control for the back hatch was lost due to the location of the hitch which I expected. There was also a wiring stand off that had to be moved. I did this install by myself and yes it would have been easier with another hand but this is the fourth hitch that I have installed, all bought from E-Trailer! Highly recommend E-Trailer and their staff! This hitch will be used for my Thule bike rack with two bikes.

Hitch is continuing to work and look great.
Product is great. Service from etrailer and Mike was a great experience. Fast efficient shipping even in the holiday season. I would order again.

still works great with no issues
There once was a guy with a CR-V,
Who craved hauling gear with such glee.
With a Curt hitch in hand,
He took a bold stand,
Now his DIY skills are the key!

Bubba, We're happy to make your vision come true! For choosing etrailer—our thanks go to you! Your trust means so much, we’re grateful indeed, We’re here for you, anytime you may need!
Arrived quickly, installed by local Road Rack in 2023 CRV Sport Touring, looks great, hands free rear door opener works well. Honda wanted almost $1K, total was $425 hitch and installation. Honda will not install class 3 hitch due to towing weight restrictions, I needed class 3 for my bike rack so this worked perfectly.

Works well after 1 year!
Installation is a pain. Takes much longer than an hour. Trim instructions aren't very accurate, had to go back and remove more fascia. Also the corner of one side touches the spare tire well, but only slightly, just would be nice if it was totally clear.
Nice quality hitch and components tho, would purchase again.
The hitch and wire package arrive in less tha 48 hours, amazing as always, and I have hired someone to install it on Monday. I’m getting too old for this (78), so I’ll leave it to the pros. Again thanks for the personal service, which I know is exclusive to me (lol), and I can always count on etrailer ????

Hey Thom! Thank you for always being so awesome!
It actually was treated fairly well during shipment.. a couple of smashed openings in the shipping box , but the hitch looks undamaged. I'll know when i get ready to install it on my Lady friends HONDA CRV Hybrid .. Your shipping speed is Fantastic.. I would suggest encapsulating the hitch with a foam insulation wrap. I am a 66 year old male with a triple bypass and two knee replacements, in case any candy arss's are unsure of installing this hitch by themselves.
It was so difficult to install. The demo video isn’t really accurate on to how you do it step by step. There’s a lot of alterations but overall it is good and looks tough.
As advertised. Easy installation.

Perfect
This hitch fit my 2023 Honda CRV EXL non-hybrid SUV. Getting it into postion and bolting it in went well, but there is a harness connection in the way on the driver's side which I had to relocate a little higher with a tie rap. Notching out the lower bumper raparound was a pain, mostly because I didn't have any dimensions, so I undercut it and had to take the hitch off again to cut it wider. The exhaust suspenders were hard to get off and on. What worked for me was lubricating the rubber suspenders and using large channel locks to press it on. Once it was on the hitch is great looking and worth the effort. I was impressed with how quick it was shipped, the tracking provided, and it arrived a lot sooner than promised.

It has been a great hitch and because it is concealed it looks great also. No problems towing with it taking the boat to the lake.
I think you have a very good product!
I purched a 13119 in the begining of the summer and never got around to haveing it installed. I finally got it to a mechanic and I found out it fits a 2012, my car is a 2021. dyslexia! You have a 60 day return policy, Mea coupla.
Your product is very good however.

Hey Ron, did you order the 13119 hitch from us? If so, I can help you get it returned if you haven't installed it.
This hitch perfectly fits a 2023 Honda Touring Hybrid model. Follow the video, on this site, for installation instructions. It helps having a second person available, when lifting the hitch into place. The Touring model has a kick sensor underneath, on the rear bumper. Trimming of the plastic covering under the rear bumper is required as well with moving the kick sensor wire a bit. Use zip ties to secure sensor, after moving it. My cutting of the plastic bumper trim was the minimal cut, that you can get away with. See the photos.
