You can use your Blue Ox tow bar on your 2005 Honda CR-V with Roadmaster base plates with the right adapter, depending on the base plates your Honda has.

- Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 1555-5 are Roadmaster XL base plates and require the Blue Ox Tow Bar to Roadmaster Standard, EZ and XL Base Plates Adapter # BX88178

- Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 1555-3 are Roadmaster MX base plates and require the Blue Ox Tow Bar to Roadmaster EZ5, MS, and MX Base Plates Adapter Brackets # BX88185

I have added a link to a video review of the latter adapter for you to check out.
