Question:
Is there a way to install a hitch extension? Bike carrier is too close to back of vehicle?
asked by: Paul A
Expert Reply:
If you have a class III hitch receiver like # 75547 on your 2011 Honda CR-V then you'll be able to use an extension # C45795. Extensions will cut your hitches weight capacity in half so if you have a class I hitch like # C11555 you shouldn't use the extension. If you wanted to get more out of your extension, I would recommend getting the Kuat pivot 2 # PVP20B. This will give you FULL access to your back hatch whenever your parked getting ready for your ride or relaxing after a day on the trails.
