Question:

I have a 2018 Honda Civic Sedan. These were not built with tow hooks on the font or back of the car. In the winter, it’s very common for my car to get stuck in the snow drifts, what receiver could I purchase that would allow my car to be towed by a pickup truck to get it out of the snow if I get stuck?

Helpful Expert Reply:

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11604 is an excellent easy to install option for a 2018 Honda Civic Sedan. It could then be used for vehicle recovery within reason, snow should be fine but mud on the other hand could create too much force for the hitch to handle. I recommend using the Bulldog Winch 3/4" Shackle for 1-1/4" Hitches part # BDW20239 for an attachment point.
