Question:

I’ve got a 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid and mostly want to carry a Thule 2-bike rack for weekend rides. Is this Trailer Mate hitch compatible with hybrids?

Yes, Jeff, this Trailer Mate hitch # TMT34FR is confirmed to fit all 2017–2026 CR-V models, including the Hybrid and even the FCEV (hydrogen fuel cell) variant. With its 2 inch receiver and 150-lb tongue weight rating, it’s perfectly suited for a platform bike rack like your Thule. Just keep in mind that Honda’s own tongue weight limits may be lower than the hitch itself, so always go by whichever rating is lower. My research tells me the CR-V is likely rated to 150lbs tongue weight just like the hitch.

Have you already decided on which exact Thule rack you’re running? I can help double-check its compatibility with your setup.

For anyone else reading, if you’ve mounted a bike rack to your CR-V hitch, what brand did you choose and how’s it been holding up?
