Hello Paul, thanks for reaching out. The Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX4330 can absolutely be used on your 2011 Honda CR-V. The CR-V has a curb weight of about 3,500 lbs so a 5K rated tow bar will be more than sufficient. Here are the rest of the parts I recommend for your flat tow setup:
- Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX2246
- Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass - 13" - 20-Amp Mini-Fuse # RM76511
- Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes - Proportional # SM99251
Keep in mind that for the 2011 CR-V, fuses must be pulled for towing, so the fuse bypass is a requirement. Refer to your owners manual for more info on what fuses to pull.
You will find links to the instructions, as well as links to a few install videos for the parts I mentioned below. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.
