Does Blue Ox Trailer Hitch # BLU55UR Fit 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid without Handsfree Liftgate

Question

Question:

I have a 2024 Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid. I see a disclaimer on the Blue Ox product that the hitch may interfere with the hands-free liftgate sensor. My car does not have a foot motion sensor, so is there any concern with installing the hitch? Are there other hitches that would work ok?

Hey Al, the Blue Ox hitch part # BLU55UR fits your 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid and will work great. Yours not having the hands free liftgate does not negatively impact the fit in any way. It would be just one less thing to worry about.

Hey Al, how did the Blue Ox hitch work out on your CR-V Hybrid? It sounds like not having the hands-free liftgate made things simpler. Your update could make it easier for others with the same setup.
