Does Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 75742 Stick Out Passed the Bumper on a 2014 Honda CR-V

Question

Question:

My 2014 CR-V LX barely fits in my garage. The garage door comes down within a fraction of an inch from the back bumper. When installed, does Draw Tite 75742 extend past the bumper and potentially impede my garage door from closing?

With Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75742 installed on your 2014 Honda CR-V the face of the receiver will be almost flush with the rear bumper. It won't stick out quite as far. Take a look at the picture I have included. You can see that the receiver is recessed a fraction of an inch back from the bumper.
