• Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2014 Honda CR-V AWD
  The Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame # 75742 that you referenced is the strongest trailer hitch available for your 2014 Honda CR-V so it is the best all-around option whether your CR-V is a 2WD or an AWD. The only other option that would be worth checking out is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7297 which is also a Class III trailer hitch with a 2" receiver. This trailer hitch has a hidden crosstube which gives it much more of a clean look after the installation. When I...

• Is The New 2025 Kia Telluride Strong Enough To Pull A Camper?
  You sure can, Ryan, as long as the camper is within the towing limits of the vehicle. The TowSmart # TS84ZR 2" trailer hitch receiver is rated for 5,000 lbs towing and 500 lbs tongue weight or up to 6,000 lbs and 750 lbs TW when using a weight distribution system - a great match for your Telluride’s factory tow rating of 5,000 lbs when properly equipped. I do recommend checking your Kia's owner's manual to double check that tow rating. You’ll need a Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness for...

• Will TowSmart 2" Receiver Block Hands Free Liftgate On 2025 Outback Onyx?
  Good question, Trevor - the TowSmart # TS34ZR doesn’t interfere with your liftgate sensors. The receiver sits just under the bumper, and Subaru places those sensors off to the sides, so you’ll still be able to use the hands-free feature as normal. Sometimes we've seen where you have to kick at a different angle compared to before the hitch was installed, but that's not always the case. Your Onyx trim comes with the 2.4L turbo engine, so you can tow up to 3,500 lbs, which pairs nicely with...

• 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...

• Hitch And Wiring Setup To Tow Popup Camper With 2025 Subaru Outback Wilderness Edition
  Absolutely, Lisa! The TowSmart # TS34ZR is a great match for your 2025 Outback Wilderness. It’s a Class III, 2-inch receiver rated for 4,500 lbs towing and 675 lbs tongue weight, which easily covers your Wilderness’s factory towing limit of 3,500 lbs. Just stay under that number (I'd confirm in your owner’s manual) and you’ll be good to go. To complete your setup, you’ll need the T-One Wiring Harness # 118467 for trailer lights and the Ball Mount Kit # 989891 for both 2" and 1-7/8" hitch...

• Hitch and Wiring for a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  Hello John, No, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13048 does not come with the wiring, but it is a great fit for your 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee. For the wiring you are going to want the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118349, and don't forget a # 18144 for a clean looking install. Now the # 118349 is going to get you equipped with a 4-flat to get the lights working on the trailer, if you are looking to tow something with brakes...

• Recommended Ball Mount for 2021 Subaru Outback Towing Trailer with 15-1/2 Coupler Height
  I have a solution for you, but there's not a ball mount with exactly a 1-1/2" drop. The goal is to tow your trailer as level as possible, so using a ball mount like the one that comes in the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989891 that comes with a 2" drop would work just fine. This kit comes with both 1-7/8" and 2" hitch balls to allow you to cover trailers with different coupler sizes, plus a hitch pin, clip and storage bag.

• Recommendation for a Trailer Hitch to Fit a 2006 Ford E-350 Van
  For your 2006 Ford E-350 van, I recommend the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch, # 13055. The hitch has a 600 lbs tongue weight capacity and a 6,000 lbs towing capacity. What I like about this Curt hitch over the other brands we carry is the ease of installation. The Curt hitch will install to the frame of your Ford using already existing bolt holes. There will be no drilling required making installation less labor intensive. If you are going to use the hitch to tow trailer, then you will...

• Is TowSmart Hitch Easy To Install On 2025 Outback Touring?
  You can probably handle this one, Sarah. If you’re mechanically inclined or know someone who is, the TowSmart # TS34ZR install is very doable. You’ll just lower the exhaust hangers, remove and trim the heat shield, and fishwire four carriage bolts into place. The instructions are clear, and you’ll torque the 7/16" hardware to 70 ft-lbs once everything’s lined up. Having a friend to help lift it makes things easier, but many handy DIYers have done it in their driveway in under an hour. If...

• 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...

• Curt Hitch For 2014 Acura MDX For Bike Rack & Trailer Towing
  I can help you out with hitch for your 2014 Acura MDX, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13146 is a great choice. The Curt is going to offer your '14 MDX great bumper and ground clearance; when we test fit this hitch on a 2014 Acura MDX we found it was about 2-3/4 inches from the hitch pin hole to the edge of the bumper, and 14 inches from the top of the hitch to the ground. That will give you really nice clearances to keep your bikes away from the back of your Acura as well as help...

• Is There A Good Quality 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2025 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness Edition?
  Good question, Megan - and you’re right, the Wilderness sits higher and is rated for 3,500 lbs towing (more than other trim levels), but the TowSmart hitch # TS68ZR does fit that model perfectly too. The cross tube is slightly more visible on Wilderness trims because of the different bumper design, but it bolts right up using the factory frame holes with no drilling required. The install’s pretty DIY-friendly - should complete it in under an hour, especially if you have a helper to hold...

• Does TowSmart Trailer Hitch Receiver Interfere With Spare Tire On 2025 Kia Telluride?
  Not at all, Steve - the spare tire goes right back into its original position once the TowSmart # TS84ZR is installed. The design allows full clearance for the tire and hoist cable. You’ll lower the spare temporarily for installation, then reinstall it afterward with no issues. If you plan to tow, grab the Curt Wiring Harness # C93FV for LX or S trims without LED taillights or # C29ZV for higher trims. Pair that with the Ball Mount Kit # 989891, and you’ll be ready to hit the road safely. Are...

• Is Hitch Easy To Install On 2025 Kia Telluride With Basic Tools?
  You can probably handle it, Natalie - especially if you’re mechanically inclined or have someone to help. The TowSmart # TS84ZR uses factory weld nuts and is a bolt-on install - no drilling required. You’ll lower the exhaust (not all the way off, you don't have to unbolt anything) and lower the spare tire, trim a small section of the fascia, and then torque the bolts to spec M10: 40 ft-lbs, 1/2: 75 ft-lbs, M12: 68 ft-lbs. Expect about an hour or 1.5 hours for a first-time DIY install....

• 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...

• 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. If you’ll be towing, you’ll also need the T-One Wiring Harness # 118741 for trailer lights and the Ball Mount Kit # 989891 to match your trailer’s coupler height and size. What kind of...

• Hitch Receiver For 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Pulling Utility Trailer
  Hey Linda, this hitch is a great choice, not too much at all. The TowSmart # TS68ZR is rated for 4,500 lbs towing and 675 lbs tongue weight, but your 2024 Crosstrek’s tow rating is less and is going to be rated for either 1,500 lbs or 3,500lbs depending on the trim. I'd check the owner's manual since the vehicle itself will be the limiting factor. The 2 inch receiver gives you flexibility for future racks or carriers too, since the majority of accessories are going to be in this 2" size. What...

• Can Liftgate Sensors Still Work with Hitch Installed on a 2022 Honda Pilot
  I have the perfect solution for you with the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e98840. This will still allow you to utilize the liftgate sensors on your 2022 Honda Pilot but you may need to kick to either side of the hitch receiver instead of just swiping your foot under the bumper. We actually have a review about the sensors which I'm attaching for you to check out. For wiring I recommend using the Tekonsha T-One which is the most reliable wiring option we have. You can use the T-One # 118760...

• Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2019 Chevy Equinox
  The Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 76419 is an excellent trailer hitch for your 2019 Chevy Equinox! For wiring there are a few different options depending on what exactly you have but I do recommend going with a Tekonsha T-One wiring harness as we have found that they have the most reliable trailer wiring out there. If they are not available, the Curt is my next choice. If you have the tow package on your Equinox then you need the Curt # C94FR. If you don't have the tow package then you need the...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2023 GMC Acadia With Wiring and Ball Mount
  Hello MJ, We can definitely get you set up with a hitch. For your 2023 GMC Acadia you will want the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e36AR. Great thing about our etrailer hitch is that it comes in a matte black finish which I think gives it that OEM look. If you are looking to tow something without brakes, or using a hitch mounted accessory that needs a 4 flat connector, you want the # C56325. If you are looking to tow something a little...

• Hitch For 2021 Winnebago Travato on Promaster 3500 ext
  For your 2021 RAM ProMaster 3500 EXT with the Winnebago Travato body, the Curt C13704 is not a confirmed fit for the EXT models. I recommend the Draw-Tite # 76050 Class-3 hitch which is rated for 500 pounds tongue weight and 5000 pounds towing. Features 2" receiver and strong square tube design. If you don't already have these parts, the etrailer # 989891 trailer ball and mount kit is a good place to start. If you will need your hitch for towing and don't already have a 4-way or 7-way...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen
  I recommend the EcoHitch # 306-X7315 2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen because it is the only trailer hitch option that comes with a 2" receiver. This is important because a 2" receiver is compatible with a lot more accessories than a 1-1/4" receiver is. The EcoHitch is also designed with a hidden crosstube so that the only part you can see is the receiver - giving you a clean look after the install. Then for wiring I highly recommend the ZCI Wiring Kit # 119250KIT because it draws power...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2019 Toyota Highlander XLE Hybrid
  For an inconspicuous hitch to use on your 2019 Toyota Highlander XLE Hybrid, I recommend using the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7250 because it mounts behind your bumper and only leaves the receiver visible. This is going to be great for you since it's almost completely hidden, so you don't have to worry about tearing it up going in and out of your driveway or over speed bumps. For wiring, you'll want to use the Tekonsha T-One # 118449 which will connect in the rear cargo...
