1-1/4" Hitch For A 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid

Question

Question:

Hi I have a 2025 Honda crv HYBRID. I already have a 1 1/4 bike rack and I need a hitch for it. I was very happy with the previous hitch I had from you for my KIA soul. Please advise as to the best hitch for this new Honda. It does not have the toe hands free door lift. Thank you

Hi Linda!

We can definitely get a 1-1/4" hitch for your 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid. We have two options, but the Curt # C12169 is the better of the two and the one I recommend. It's American made and will be less exposed than the Draw-Tite, keeping your CR-V more stock looking.

Do you still have the adapter that came with your Curt # C18085 bike rack? It would allow you to use a 2" hitch, like the etrailer # e98848 and 2" hitches do tend to have a lot more accessories available for them. With that said, there is nothing wrong with a 1-1/4" hitch, but I figured I would mention the 2" hitch in case you still had that adapter and ever wanted to use the hitch for something else.

Hi, thanks for the reply! Just to make sure, this hitch would work with a hybrid, yes? With the battery that's back there.

@LindaF Yep! I double checked with Curt beforehand, just to make sure. There will be no issues with either hitch fitting your Hybrid!

Hello Ernest, good question. So the Roadmaster Hitch Spare Tire Mount #RM-195225 weighs about 75 lbs by itself. I looked over the 2025 CRV owners manual and I didn't see that it mentioned a specific tongue weight capacity, but it does say the…

Sometimes in shipping the hitches can get a few scratches or nicks on the surface. I would go ahead and hit them with some black spray paint, especially if you live up north and get snow and the salt that goes along with it. I attached an FAQ article…

The only trailer hitch options we currently have available for a 2023 Honda CR-V are from etrailer and Curt. I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part #e98848 which has a hidden design so only the receiver will be visible. It offers a…

There are indeed two 2" trailer hitches available for your 2020 Honda CR-V; the etrailer #e98848 and the Curt #C13397. These Class III hitches are essentially identical in every way except for the finish/powder coat that they use. I personally…

Hey Erica, thanks for reaching out! Since your 2026 Honda CR-V is a Hybrid we're a bit limited on the hitch options, and you'll need to get one that does require some fascia cutting. For this, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver…
