Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

Product was exactly as advertised - sturdy and excellent fit to the vehicle. More importantly, the on-line video significantly reduced the emotional stress and expense of trying to install in myself. As a novice it took me less than an hour to install.

great hitch for the 2012 Honda cr-vmodulite was not easy, but it went slow but sure

Fast shipping. Best deal on the internet. Instruction sheet incorrect illustration but video on line very helpful. Great company to deal with.

It fit perfectly on my 2112 honda CRV. The hole you have to cut in the rear valance does not have to be as large as described in directions.Great price. Great product.

by:

The shipping for the hitch was very quick. The installation was very easy. Wonderful product.



by:

I kind just shook my head when I looked at the instructions for installation, I thought what have I gotten myself into. It took me a little bit to get going but once I got started it was a snap to install and looks good on the CRV. Great product.



by:

Excellent hitch. Not too bad to install. Dealing with the trim panel under the car was the hardest part. Instructions tell you to remove the panel to cut it. It would have been easeir to leave it attached to the car and make the cut. If not for that panel, it would be a ten-minute job.



by:

Hitch arrived on time in great condition, installed by myself in about 2 hours, the instructions covered everything needed and the videos were helpful in preparation for the install.Thanks,Dave



by:

Received the order super fast and in perfect condition! The install took quite a bit longer than the 30 minutes stated but was still pretty straight- forward and not too difficult. The printed instructions do not go into great detail, especially as to measuring where to trim the appearence panel, but still, all was manageable. Looks like a well made product and so much cheaper than buyint from the dealer!!



by:

I am very satisfied with the product but I followed the installation instructions very carefully and the measurements for cutting the under belly was way off. there is no way of getting an accurate measurement by yourself.

  • Can Rear Hatch on 2014 Honda CR-V Be Opened with Saris Bones Bike Rack Attached
    The Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier # SA805BL that you referenced is a really nice carrier that's confirmed to fit your 2014 Honda CR-V, however even with the bikes unloaded you won't be able to open the rear hatch without completely removing the rack. This is because the upper straps are going to clip around the top seam where the roof meets the hatch, and opening the rear will cause this connection to loosen up and reduce the tension on the carrier, likely causing it to move around and possibly...

  • Best Value Bike Rack That Allows For Rear Cargo Access In 2015 Honda CR-V
    The Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack Platform Style part # S64650 will fit the 2015 Honda CR-V as long as you have a hitch on your vehicle. However, the Swagman XC 2-Bike rack is not a tilt-away rack so you need to remove the bikes from the rack to get into the rear cargo aera of the CR-V. Instead, I recommend Swagman XTC-2 TILT 2-Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches part # S64671 for the 2015 Honda CR-V because it tilts away with or without the bikes loaded for rear cargo access in the Honda....

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Honda CR-V
    The Hollywood Racks Over the Top bike rack part # HRF2-3 that you referenced comes with hatch anchors which you could use instead of lower hooks since your 2016 Honda CR-V does not have a lower lip to attach to. These are foam anchors that get closed in the hatch to hold the rack instead of hooks. Since hitch mounted options are basically superior in every way that would be what I recommend as your best choice. You get better stability, an easier install, and the rack won't contact the...

    I would be happy to recommend a hitch for your 2013 Honda CR-V. I saw you were looking at the etrailer item # e98868 and the EcoHitch item # 306-X7297. Both of these hitches are confirmed to fit your 2013 CR-V. They are custom fit and bolt to your Honda with included hardware. Both the etrailer and the EcoHitch are class III hitches with 2" receivers. They each have identical towing capacities at 3,500 lbs and both are made in America. The main difference in capacity is the EcoHitch has...

  • Will Hands-Free Liftgate Still Work with Trailer Hitch Installed on 2016 Honda CR-V Touring
    You will have to kick to the left or right of the receiver on the etrailer.com # e98868 trailer hitch when it's installed on your 2016 Honda CR-V but the hands-free liftgate feature will still work. Even on the newer CR-V models this style of hitch will work and the only time a new sensor kit is needed is when the trailer hitch crosstube is hidden behind the bumper. Attached is an installation video as well as the written instructions. If you let me know what you plan on using the trailer...

  • What Is The Towing/Tongue Weight Capacity Of A 2014 Honda CR-V
    Hello Jonathan, thanks for reaching out. Based on the numbers I am seeing in the online owenrs manual, the 2014 Honda CR-V has a towing capacity of 1,500 lbs, which equates to a tongue weight capacity of 150 lbs. True the class 3 hitch for the 2014 CR-V, part # e98868 has a 350 lb tongue weight rating, if the vehicle is only rated for 150 lbs that will be your limit. For that reason, I really cannot recommend using the setup you mentioned with the Kuat NV 2.0 4-bike rack. The rack itself...

  • Can the Under-Panel on a 2013 Honda CR-V be Left Off After Installing a Hitch?
    As the plastic cover that needs the trimming is just there to cover the fuel tank on your 2013 CR-V, you can definitely leave it off. From the install video I included, you can see that nothing really ties directly into this panel.

  • Recommended Bike Rack To Carry Two 70lb E-Bikes With 2013 Honda CR-V
    We have just what you are looking for. I recommend the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # S94FR which works with bikes that weigh up to 70lbs each, with tires up to 3" wide so your two Rad Mini E-Bikes weighing in at 70lbs with 4" wide tires will fit perfectly after installing the Fat Tire Adapter Kit # S64679. Now this rack will require a 2" trailer hitch receiver to be installed on your 2013 Honda CR-V, so if you do not currently have one I recommend the etrailer # e98868....

It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight.

  • What Rack do You Recommend for Transporting 3 Bikes on a 2013 Honda CR-V?
    I have a great solution for you. Since the tongue capacity of your 2013 Honda CR-V is 150 pounds, the only way for the Kuat Transfer 2 # KU24FR is if your friends' bikes weigh no more than 30 pounds for one and 29 pounds for the other (which is extremely light for adult bikes). Also, the Thule Helium Pro 3 # TH9043PRO and the Camber 4 # TH9056 will not work because those racks only have a maximum per-bike weight capacity of 37.5 pounds. A great solution is the SportRack Pathway Deluxe...

    Hey Bill! Our cutout directions for the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98868 are 7" x 3-1/4" like you referenced, and is what you'll need to follow when installing it on your 2014 Honda CR-V. When it comes to the U-Haul hitch, I believe the part you're looking at is their part 75742G, which is the same as our Draw-Tite # 75742. These are different brands with slightly different designs and is why you're seeing a difference in the cutout requirements. It's always best to follow the...

    I would be happy to help! Based on the information I was able to find on the factory trailer hitch for your 2016 Honda CR-V, it would have a 1-1/4" receiver. With that said we typically recommend a 2" trailer hitch receiver as it gives the most accessories. While right now you are only wanting to carry a bike rack of which there are a multitude available for both 2" and 1-1/4" receivers, if you decided in the future you would like to use a cargo trailer, or a ball mount for light duty...

That said, the 2015 Honda CR-V is only rated for 1,500 lb gross trailer weight and 150 lbs tongue weight.

Since the manual does list a towing capacity of 1,500 pounds, it's pretty safe to assume that the vehicle has a 150 tongue weight capacity, which would apply to the combined weight of your 225 pound dirt bike plus the weight...

The 172 lbs. of your bikes and rack are going to factor in your tongue weight, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98868 has a tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs. so it will be able to handle your bikes and rack.

Curt typically has a thicker powder coat over Draw-Tite so this will weather the elements better. For your 2014 Honda CR-V I have 2 different options based on price-point and design; the etrailer...
