CURT Trailer Hitch

Highlights

Custom Fit for Your Vehicle: Mounts to existing attachment points
Standard 2" Receiver: Works with common bike racks, cargo carriers, and towing gear
Tows up to 3,500 lbs (GTW): Handles small campers, boats, and utility trailers safely
Holds up to 525 lbs (TW): Supports heavy-duty Class III accessories and cargo loads
Bolt-On Installation: Mounts directly to frame with included hardware—no welding needed
Gloss Black Powder Coat: Protective finish over base coat resists rust and corrosion

Features to know about

Expand Your Hauling Options: Class III Strength with 2" Receiver

This hitch gives you the flexibility to haul small trailers, mount a cargo carrier, or run a bike rack with confidence. With a 3,500-lb maximum gross trailer weight and 525-lb maximum tongue weight, it’s built for everyday towing and weekend trips alike. The standard 2" x 2" receiver opening works with most accessories, so switching between a ball mount, cargo tray, or bike rack is easy.

Keep It Looking Clean: Concealed Round-Tube Design

No one wants a bulky hitch hanging below the bumper. The concealed cross tube keeps things tidy while still offering full function. Only the receiver portion is visible once installed, giving you a more integrated look that doesn’t distract from your vehicle’s lines. The round-tube style adds a touch of polish under the bumper and helps maintain ground clearance.

Tough Build for Real Use: Fully Welded, Powder-Coated Steel

The steel construction is fully welded for strength and reliability. A gloss black powder coat finish over a protective base coat guards against rust and corrosion when you’re driving through rain or road salt. You can count on it to handle years of towing, hauling, and outdoor use without flaking or fading.

Straightforward Installation: Bolt-On Fit with Complete Hardware

Installing this hitch doesn’t require welding or drilling. It’s designed to bolt directly to your vehicle’s frame using the included hardware kit and instructions. The precision, robotic welds ensure everything lines up correctly during assembly, so the install goes smoothly whether you’re in your driveway or at a shop.

This is the 2nd Curt Trailer Hitch that I have purchased and installed over the last 10 years. The installation instructions and videos were excellent and easy to follow. I installed the trailer hitch in a couple hours (I'm slow and deliberate). It went in without a hitch...heh. I am using it with my utility trailer. I installed this current hitch on my 2026 Honda CRV Trailsport. Great product

Glad the installation went smoothly and our instructions and videos helped! Sounds like the # C13397 was a great fit for your new CR-V, no hitch involved.

by: Chris 06/09/2025

etrailer delivers again, $[XX]ish for a hitch and wiring, the wiring was plug and play as they stated. Two things to note: 1 - I ran the wiring out the rear of the cargo floor area, just needed to use a dremel to widen a hole a little bit for it to fit through, then cut that rubber gasket and silcone to seal it well. 2 - be CAREFUL when cutting the hole in the bumper bottom, if your car has the hands free rear kick sensor you need to push a wire out of the way before you start cutting!! Also note, impossible to get a torque wrench above the muffler on the hybrid version. I removed the rear exhaust hanger and the one in the middle of the car, it was tight but just used a regular wrench. The CRV had the hardest hangers to get off on any car I did this on before, so hard and tight spaces to work in. Looks good and wiring worked as well.

2024 Honda CR-V

Just got done installing this and the accompanying wiring harness on my 2024 CRV LX AWD. First off, all the props to the driveway mechanics who handled this job solo. I've been doing the maintenance and mod work on my own vehicles for many years, and I know when I need help. The mounting part was definitely a two-person job for me. Second, Etrailer's lightning fast shipping and very helpful vehicle-specific installation video made for a great customer experience. Only a few call-outs in my case:

1. At least on my model (gas LX AWD), the only permanent modification I had to do was a 3" cut on the underbody panel to allow it to clear the tow hook. No material was removed, just cut it down the middle with normal kitchen scissors quite easily. I did not make any cuts or remove material to the rear fascia as suggested in the instructions, and the result is the trailer hitch pinching the fascia a bit but it's hardly noticeable visibly and has no impact on performance/clearances.
2. The plug for the turn signals and brake lights was tricky to find, as it wasn't just dangling freely like the video showed, at least not on my model. In the photos, I tried to detail where the plug is by taking a series of photos. The connector is close to the top left-hand side corner, secured to a wire bundle with a strip of brown tape. You'll need to remove the tap and free the white connector and connect it to the trailer wiring harness. Then plug in the supplied fuse, and then I secured the etrailer wiring box to a wire bundle with the supplied long zip tie, and ran the cable out through a handy 3" x 4" access hole in the side panel.
3. I used a set of ramps to raise the rear end up and then my hydraulic jack to support the exhaust after I dropped it from the hangers.

Very glad I went the e-trailer route, most of all because I didn't need to make nearly any permanent cuts to the car.

Thanks for the tips and pictures! It's always good to hear from people that did the thing themself and to get their perspectives on it! ^___^ What are you going to be using this for now that it's installed?

by: Knuckle-buster 04/24/2026

Installed as designed. Someway painful getting into position with a single person. Recommend addition of an arrow on installation diagram displaying the original tow hook location to ease cutout procedure. Instruction pics are blurring and the location of tow ring is critical to make accurate cutout. I noticed the hitch drop bracket contains welds on the exterior side only. Is that normal or QA issue? Im a novice metal worker and would have welded the interior drop brackets to add strength to the weakest link. Pic attached

4/28/2026

I checked with Curt and that is by design. All of them are like that and it will still have its 3,500 lbs of towing capacity and 525 lbs of tongue weight capacity. This was how it was welded when it was strength tested. Might look a little weird, but you can trust it. What are you wanting to use the hitch for?

Knuckle-buster

@LazerS Utilizing to tow small 12 ft single axle trailer with less than 1500 lbs load. Thanks for checking with Curt to ensure it was built to specs/as designed and wasn't an anomaly/QA issue.

2025 Honda CR-V

It will fit the CR-V Sport Touring with hands-free liftgate. I removed the kick sensor (3 phillips screws and a connector) to modify it without damaging it. I had to removed the black cable from a couple retainers that would get cut and wire tied it in place after making the necessary cuts (sorry I forgot to get a pic with the wire ties). I also removed the phillips screws on either end of the bumper fascia to (near the exhaust trim) which really helped with pulling it down when installing the receiver. GL!

I installed my hitch on a 2025 Honda CRV Hybrid. Install time was 2.5 hours since I did it by myself. All 4 holes lined up perfectly. The install video was very helpful. Not the prettiest install since I made a wood ramp to drive up on and I used a floor jack to raise once side of the hitch.

Hey, using what you got to make the job easier is always a smart move in my book. I think it's a great idea to make your own ramp. What are you going to be using the hitch for, Charles?

by: Jerry 11/05/2025

2026 Honda CR-V

2026 CRV Touring Hybrid. It went on just like the instructions said. one man job, but I had a small floor jack and to jack stands to help get the hitch in place. Fascia cut sizes are spot on with the exception that there is an inner and an outer bumper fascia that need to be cut. I searched all over for the sensor for the auto trunk release. It is located between the inner and out bumper facia, Black on black and impossible to see. So yea, I nicked the sensor with my Oscillating cutter. I guess the sensor does not work anyway once you put a hitch on so no real lose. Also, you don't have to cut much off of the plastic undercarriage panel. Just open it up an inch so it goes around the tow loop and hitch attachment. The rubber muffler hangers are way harder to get back on than getting them off.

11/5/2025

Hey Jerry! If you can get that wire patched up/fixed, in most cases the sensor will still work. You'll just need to wave your foot a few inches to the left or right of the receiver tube, and maybe a couple inches further behind the bumper. If you do that, the hands-free liftgate feature should still work.

This bike rack system is very sturdy and secure. We don’t feel worried that our e-bikes are going to fall off because of a rack failure. The ramps do aid in getting the bikes on the rack but they don’t work as effortlessly as anticipated. Overall, we are satisfied with the gear and extremely satisfied with the customer service we received. The office staff and mechanic team were friendly, knowledgeable and kind. We have recommended Etrailer to several friends and strangers who see our rig while traveling.

by: Tommy 10/06/2025

Your vehicle listing for Honda CR V doesn’t include the Hybrid model. Although my vehicle only has one muffler, there was a little more work involved. I had to completely remove the cover under the vehicle. Then there was a little more trimming to do around the receiver in order to get the cover back on. The side of the vehicle with no muffler hangs a little lower than the side with the muffler because it’s on too of the flange.

The trailer hitch , hardware kit and the tutorial video was very well thought out. Materials are beefy and well made. I especially love the carriage bolt wire fish which saves time and knuckles. My only complaint is 1 of the 4 carriage bolts came with no threads. I was lucky enough to have a tap and die set. Plug and play trailer wire was nice.

by: Peter 08/25/2026 One Year Later

We bought the hitch for our 2025 Honda CRV so we can add a bike rack when traveling.
The hitch was easy to install. The instruction for the install provided by E-trailer were easy to follow and described the task well. The hitch is a perfect fit and works well for our application.

by: Mike 05/15/2026

I actually purchased Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver about 10 years ago when
I attached it to a Toyota Rav-4. It was an excellent product then and
when I sold my Rav-4, naturally my Hitch went with the car. I recently
acquired a new vehicle which was a Honda CR V, so then I knew that I could count on Etrailer for a new Hitch for my Honda CR V. Its on the
Honda SUV now and it wVehicle orks great. I had a professional install it and
its good and secure. When a conversation presents itself, I tell everybody about ETrailer for their Vehicle needs. Not just talking
about their needs for Hitches but everything else that they may need
for their vehicle. I always tell people to check with them first, because they
will definitely save you some money.

by: Tom 08/27/2026

Installed myself on 2021 Honda CR V gas.

Everything is good except the bumper cutout specification in the instructions. The instruction specs, as I understand them, place the cutout a little too far to the passenger side. This becomes evident only when the hitch is mounted. The cutout had to be expanded after the hitch was in place.

Note: No printed instructions are enclosed with the hitch. The only instructions are printable online instructions.

by: Steven 05/02/2025

The hitch fits exactly as advertised, but the DIY install did take more than the implied 60 minutes. My car is the Hybrid sport touring with the kick sensor so maybe was more difficult because the the rear trim. I had to remove the kick sensor to install the hitch, but I will try to fit it in now that the hitch is installed. The install instructions were clear except that the trimming required to the rear trim piece was not clear, I got some good dimensions from a search on the web. I was able to do the job on my own without a lift, but it would have been much easier on a lift and with a helper. I know not everyone has access to a lift, but I do recommend lining up a helper before starting. Once you start you can't really stop as you have to lower the muffler down, so you can't drive the car until you are done. Lowering the muffler was not too hard, soaping up the mounts really helped.

I did get the kick sensor re-installed but it doesnt seem to work as well as before. Hitch is great and we use it to travel with our bikes.

by: Alexis 08/09/2026 One Year Later

Installed it with the help of my brother and dad and we crushed it in an hour. The lil guide wire they give you for the bolts with the kit is a huge help and made the process a breeze. I use it for my bike rack and the hitch accessory stabilizer also reduces the rattling to nothing.

Not a great fit for 2025 Sport L Hybrid. I went with an etrailer curt hitch after having a great experience with a previous vehicle. This one is very difficult to get properly into position over the four mounting bolts, which makes me wonder about fit and quality control. The fascia cutting diagram is for the previous generation vehicle and is therefore not as intuitive. Last, there was a wiring harness on the drivers side that had to be moved out of the way to make room for the hitch, which was mentioned nowhere in the paper instructions (for a previous generation vehicle), or in the etrailer install video (for a non-hybrid current gen crv). You risk damaging the wiring trying to while trying to get the hitch into place if you aren’t careful.

by: Steve 08/26/2026 One Year Later

The instructions were wrong. The modification to the bumper and related bodywork required much more clearance than stated and required additional modification mid-assembly. This was difficult to do.
The hitch itself seems very well constructed and I like that it does not hang below the bumper.

by: Ken 07/27/2026

This Curt trailer hitch receiver is a great addition to my 2026 Honda CR-V hybrid sport L. The installation went well with one exception. The dimensions given in the instructions for the Fascia trim diagram aren't correct. The dimensions should be 1/4 inch bigger in both directions. The additional trimming I had to do added at least 45 minutes to the process, as the hitch was already bolted in place and I had to work around that. This is the fourth hitch I've purchased from Etrailer, and have been happy with all of them.

by: Brett 08/01/2026

2018 Honda CR-V

I bought this Curt hitch receiver for transporting bikes on my Honda CR-V. It's lighter than I expected and seems well made. I give it only four stars because the description downplays the difficulty of installation. It says that a DIY installation can be done in an hour, and a pro can do it in 30 minutes. Absolutely ridiculous. I had mine installed by a Honda Master Mechanic, and it took him and an assistant 1.5 hours to do the install.

The receiver is installed above the mufflers, so the exhaust has to be lowered first. Part of the plastic bumper needs to be trimmed to accommodate the receiver, but the mechanics did a fine job and it looks great. Overall I'm happy with this.

by: Duain 08/17/2025

My wife and I installed this on a 2022 Honda CRV Hybird. the videos were great. we roller the car backward on angled wood blocks 6.5 inches high in the rear. that gave us adequate space. strapped the 1 exhaust, removed the pins and we were ready to start. the hardest part was the cutout which should be measured from the tow loop to the front (more accurate).the fishing wires were amazing and then you are 98% done. It to us 2.5 hours but now after doing this for the first time I could do this in 1.5 hours. A rolling creeper helped on a concrete surface. Thank you Cassondria V for your constant updates. now we can tow our regular and E bikes anywhere and soon tow a small trailer with 4 flat trailer lights.
Excellent company and great prices. Would order from this company again!!!!!!

This is the fourth or fifth time I've bought a trailer hitch for one of my cars from Etrailer. (I lease a car for my wife about every three years). What a great service you provide! The installation videos are great. I will say that this one was the most challenging by far because I had to drop the exhaust and I had to cut (hopefully Honda will not care when I turn the car in) but I got it done.

2 inch Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid Touring with 1-1/4 inch Hitch
Hey Hisham, yes we have the Curt Class III hitch part # C13397 which you can use to replace the 1-1/4 inch hitch you have now on your 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid Touring. I like this hitch because it has the best towing capacities and is also the mostly hidden. If you prefer a totally hidden hitch we also have the EcoHitch part # EH25KR which has a removable lower hitch opening that you can take off when not in use. It has same capacities as the Curt too. Are you planning on doing some towing?

Do the Curt # C13397 and etrailer # e98848 Hitches Fit a 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid?
Hello Ed, Yes, both the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13397 and the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848 fit the 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid. I completely understand the confusion. Under the "Confirmed to Fit" section, you'll see "excluding Hybrid" and "Hybrid" listed separately. That doesn't mean the hitch excludes Hybrid models. It simply means the fitment has been verified for both the non-Hybrid and Hybrid versions of the 2025 CR-V. Since both categories are listed, the hitch is...

Will Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid Void Warranty
Hey Jourden, congrats on the new car! This a great question but the short answer is that a hitch like the Curt # C13397 and trailer wiring like the part # C56370 will no void the warranty of your 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid. There's actually a law that protects you in situations like this called the Magnusson Moss Act which more or less states that unless you can prove an aftermarket part caused a problem for the vehicle you can't just void the warranty because one was installed. What are you...

Recommended Hitch for a 2026 Honda CR-V Trail Sport Hybrid
It sure does Richard. The Curt Hitch item # C13397 does indeed fit the 2026 Honda CR-V Trail Sport Hybrid.

Class 3 Trailer Hitch For A 2017 Honda CRV
Hi Doug! We have a few Class III hitch options available for your 2017 Honda CRV. All but the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 76128 will require trimming of the fascia, so if you are wanting to avoid that it will be the one to go with. However, it will be more visible once installed, as seen in the picture I have linked. If you aren't worried about a little trimming, the Curt # C13397 would be much more hidden. If it were me, I would go this direction as it is more of a "stock" kind of look. And...

Will Installing A Class 3 Hitch Increase The Tongue Weight Capacity Of My 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid
Hey Chris, thanks for reaching out. Putting a higher rated Class III hitch on the CR-V does not raise the vehicle’s actual tongue weight limit. The hitch itself may be built to handle a lot more, but the real limit is still whatever Honda says the vehicle can safely carry at the rear of the vehicle. So if the CR-V Hybrid is limited to around 150 lbs of tongue weight, that 150 lbs needs to cover everything sitting on the hitch, meaning the bike rack plus the bikes. That’s the part a lot...

Will The Curt Hitch C13397 Fit A 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport And Be Able To Use Of The Liftgate?
Hi Adam! The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13397 will indeed fit your 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport model. As to the hands free liftgate sensor, that will also still work. However, the receiver tube for the hitch sits right where that sensor is located, so you will need to find the spot on either side of the receiver tube that will actuate it. I've been doing this for over a decade and have never actually seen a hitch completely negate that sensor. It will...

What Trailer Hitch Fits a 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid?
Hi Leroy, Don't worry, we do have hitches for a 2026 Honda CR-V hybrid! There is a drop-down menu at the top of the screen when looking for a hitch for this vehicle. Since all the ones you saw said excluding hybrid, that option must have accidentally been selected. For a Class III 2" hitch receiver for you, I recommend using the Curt Custom Trailer Hitch part # C13397. It is rated for up to 525lbs of tongue weight and 3,500lbs towing, which far exceeds the CR-V's capacities. Your 2026...

What is the Best Trailer Hitch for a 2018 Honda CR-V with Hands-Free Tailgate
The best trailer hitch for your 2018 Honda CR-V Touring with the hands-free tailgate is the Curt, part # C13397. I prefer the Curt over the Draw-Tite hitch, part # 76128, because the Curt's crossbeam is completely hidden behind the vehicle's bumper. All you see when it's installed is the receiver opening and the safety chain loops. The installation is a little more in depth, but in the long run I think it's worth it. No matter which hitch you choose in order to maintain your hands-free...
