Expert Reply:

Curt multi-fit trailer hitch 13950 is designed to fit certain frame widths. Measure the center to center distance from one frame rail to the other. If the distance is 31 to 41 inches then it is possible this hitch will fit your 1997 Honda CR-V. However, it has not been tested so I cannot guarantee that it will fit. It is also not listed in the vehicle fits in the instructions which I have linked for you. If you go with this hitch then you will need to replace the mounting hardware since it is designed to be torqued down just once. For that you would need # RHK.

I strongly recommend a custom fit hitch for your CR-V. For a Class III we have Curt hitch # 13314. Keep in mind that the vehicle is rated for a maximum gross trailer weight of 1,500 pounds and max tongue weight of 150 pounds even though the hitch is rated higher. You always go by the lower capacity.

The recommended ball mount for this hitch is # C45030. For a 2 inch ball use # 63845 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball use # 63847. And for trailer wiring you can use # 118336 to add a 4-Way flat to the rear of the vehicle.
