Question:

I see that this Draw-time Max Class lll receiver hitch 76128 fits my 2018 Honda Crv Exl Awd, but when I try to pull it up on the app it does not come up? Is it still available to purchase? If not is there another trailer hitch you recommend?

Hey Eddie, the Draw Tite hitch part # 76128 is no longer made as it's parent company went out of business but for a hitch with basically the same design that is still available you would want the Blue Ox part # BLU55UR or if you wanted something a little more hidden we also have the etrailer part # e98848 which only has the lower hitch opening visible under the bumper. Are you planning on doing some towing?

@EddieW If you haven't picked out trailer wiring already the Curt # C56370 would be a great option that installs easily.

@JamesonC I looked up if Draw-tite is going out of business. This is what was said Draw-Tite is not out of business. The brand and its towing division are continuing to operate and are seeking new ownership.Draw-Tite's parent company, First Brands Group, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2025 and is in the process of restructuring and divesting some of its assets. While First Brands has shut down or liquidated some of its automotive parts divisions, its towing and hitch brands—including Draw-Tite, Reese, and Tekonsha—have been kept active and are being transitioned to new ownership.

@Edward Hopefully you are right and Draw Tite comes back but I believe that's a pretty optimistic viewpoint. At the moment they can't ship anything to us so as far as we know they are currently closed.
