Question:
Greetings, I have a 2021 Honda CRV Hybrid Touring model, and I want to purchase a couple of electric bikes and Thule bike rack, but first I need to know what hitch receiver to get- assuming there is a hitch receiver available. Thank you, John

Hi John,
There is indeed a trailer hitch receiver fit for your 2021 Honda CR-V Hybrid Touring so you can get a Thule bike rack. Let's start with the hitch, and the right fit for your CR-V is from Curt:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13397
This hitch has good ground clearance and isn't tucked up underneath the bumper very far, which is great because it gives you the best options for a Thule bike rack. Since you're looking to carry a couple electric bikes, I recommend checking out the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack # TH83JV.
This has a 60 lb per-bike weight capacity so it'll handle heavy bikes, comes with locks to keep your bikes and the rack safe, and is a tool-free installation so its quick and simple. All you do when you get the T2 Pro XTR in your CR-V's hitch is turn a handle at the front of the rack and you're set to hit the road.
