Perfect for light-duty towing, this custom, vehicle trailer hitch receiver features fully welded, gloss powder coated steel construction. Drawbar sold separately.Looks great. One trick is that for the CRV, the hitch installs inside the bumper. Had an issue with it not fitting until we tucked it under the bumper. Very low profile. Thank you.
My son and I installed this receiver on a 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid some months back.. I am still enjoying the installation for it allows me to use a bike rack to carry my bike to parks here in Tampa, FL. One of the good things about this hitch is that it remains mostly hidden under the car with only the square receiving tube protruding. I noticed that some other receivers had a lot of the metal superstructure visible.
Great receiver. Looks better than I even hoped and it works great too. Your videos covering installation of the hitch assembly and wire harness were the best. They made the job go very smoothly. Thanks for great products and instruction. I’m sure I’ll be back in the future. .
I have to admit I was nervous about ordering the hitch, but it fit my Honda 2021 CR-V perfectly and looks amazing!! I had it installed at my local auto repair shoo. It was half the price of what the dealership was charging and looks amazing!!! If you in the market for a hitch for your vehicle I would totally recommend purchasing from etrailer.
Pictures in installation guide are useless, to dark to see, measurements have no start points indicted or not visible.
Otherwise hitch fits although scraped insulation off “just” wide enough. 1/4” narrower it wouldn’t clear the rear storage well, actually 1/8” narrower. Hitch arrived with a few bare metal spots (scrapes) had to be touched up. Otherwise good to go.
Nice looking hitch, very little hardware exposed so it doesn't stick way out or look tacky. Looks like a factory hitch. I only use it for a hitch mounted platform carrier and it's plenty stable for the purpose.
This hitch fit our 2022 Honda CRV EXL Hybrid. We are not planning on towing anything, it was installed for a hitch mounted bike rack for our ebikes. I did the installation myself and the video was helpful. Although, the hardest part for me was removing the rubber isolators from the exhaust pipe. Luckily on the Hybrid there were only 2 of them. I did the installation in my open garage on a 20 degree day and the rubber, being new and cold was super stiff. That first step took at least an hour. I did not have any help so lifting the hitch while bolting it was difficult. For the Hybrid, at least, a bit more cutting of the facia was necessary than the instructions indicated. After about three difficult hours it was done, and it looks great. Now to try the bike carrier. it works! The only disappointment was that the hitch sticks out a little further than the rack did on my 2008 Honda CRV, meaning when the rack is on I'll have to pull the vehicle in a bit farther into my garage, which is already tight. Oh, the first world problems! Great hitch, but if you do not have skills, which I do, plan on paying someone to install.
It works well and I've had no issued with it. Upon inspection out of the box, it looked like a well fabricated receiver hitch. A bit of a tough install but the instructions were good. I've only used it with my bike rack. The photo was taken a year later, no rust or paint chipping.
From the instructions and a few videos we watched the installation went very well. All the parts and the hitch fit very good. Extremely happy with the quality and ease of installation. Thank you. Jerry
I'm very pleased with the hitch I just installed. I'd never done something like this before and found the instructional video VERY helpful.
Shipping was FAST and unit arrived complete with all hardware.
I would recommend etrailer.com to all of my friends.

FINE COMPANY. GREAT SERVICE & FOLLOWUP. GOOD PRODUCTS. FAST SHIPPING. THANKS
Easy install
A little challenging to install on my vehicle, but the instructions were good. Looks great.
Our local dealer did not have the Curt trailer hitch we wanted, so we decided to buy it from etrailer. The videos helped us to understand the installation process. Etrailer was a wonderful company to deal with. The order process was easy, and the shipping and tracking process was outstanding. The order arrived on the expected date as promised. As I'm not the best do-it-yourselfer, I will have a local trailer dealer install it.
I am totally pleased with my purchase. Installed in about an hour. It fits like a glove and looks like a factory job. My second curt product. The first was for a 2010 Prius and it was also easy and I had no trouble with it whatsoever for the five years it was on the car,(NO RETIGHTENING of nuts etc.)
Works exactly the way it's supposed to!
Bought a new car, needed a hitch...bought the same hitch I bought for my previous vehicle. Both are still doing their job. Not an exciting product but when you find one that is safe,practical, and of good quality why not stick with it and spread the word!
Stop ed a day faster than expected!
This hitch suits my purposes perfectly. (I use it to mount a Thule bike carrier.)
One receiver did not fit, but an otherwise the hitch is good
I finally got around to installing the hitch I bought last year for my 2018 CR-V. etrailer's instructions and videos made it very easy. I did it by myself simply laying on the ground under the vehicle. It probably took me 2 hours, but saved the $650 dealer charge to install. If I was to do it again, I would definitely buy a set of exhaust hanger pliers ($15-$20). The hanger arms on my CR-V did not have a lip/?? to use a pry bar against as shown in the instructions. I probably spent half my time just getting the hangers off (2 rear plus middle one). The Curt hitch that hides the cross bar behind the bumper makes for a much nicer looking install. I am very pleased with my etrailer purchase and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a hitch for their vehicle.
Great hitch which installed easily. I was able to install it without a helper by using a floor jack to hold it in place while I attached the nuts to the bolts. A Dremel tool with a cutting wheel is very helpful for cutting the bumper cover - tin snips could be used but would have been difficult.
Kudos to Curt for supplying four fish wires with this hitch so you can leave them attached to the bolts and thread them through the hitch, which allows you to retrieve bolts that are accidentally bumped out of their holes while mating the hitch to the car. (Believe it or not Curt does not do this for all their hitches - I installed one a few months ago for a different vehicle and it only came with one fish wire.)
As other reviewers have pointed out, watch the videos as they are much better than the printed instructions.
We just installed this on a 2020 CR-V Hybrid Touring edition. The hitch fit perfectly and looks great. All you see is the receiver portion. I had it installed professionally but mechanic said it was easy. Our CR-V has the kick to open tailgate feature. I ordered a Honda relocation kit for the sensor but mechanic said he couldn't make it work. Instead he just relocated the original sensor over to the driver's side which is possible since the hybrid doesn't have dual exhaust. Works fine. The hybrid is not rated for towing but we just wanted the hitch for our bike rack so I did not have the car wired for lights. Install took under 2 hours.
Simply fantastic. Tucks up away and out of sight, but still easily accessible. Purchased the wiring kit -entire install took about an hour. Do Not waste $7-900 having a dealer install - if you are any bit mechanically inclined and have 2 people - you can do this easily. Definitely watch the video on etrailer.com - much better instruction on how and where to measure for the bumper trimming. The CURT instructions are black and white and the picture of where to trim stinks. Video is MUCH better reference.
A second set of hands really helps for installation.
Using this setup on my 2019 CRV EX AWD for hitch mounted bike rack and occasional light towing of an aluma trailer.
I've purchased hitches, racks, and trailer wiring kits from etrailer for prior vehicles - always have been happy with the incredible value and quality for the money. Another great experience, and I'll keep coming back!
It appears to be a perfect fit and will enable us to use our cargo carrier.
