Daniel, rest easy; a properly installed hitch like this one # TMT34FR from Trailer Mate does not void your Honda warranty. By law, a dealer can’t deny warranty coverage unless they prove the hitch caused the issue. Since this is a bolt-on install that doesn’t require frame modification, you’re good to go. This is a great add-on for towing a light trailer or throwing a bike rack on your 2025 Honda CR-V.

Do you plan to install it yourself or have a shop do the work? I can help with torque specs and install tips either way. We do have an installer locator linked on this page in case you would like a shop to do it.

Other readers: did you install your CR-V hitch DIY, or did you have a dealer/shop handle it?
