Hitch Recommendation for a Honda HR-V With Front Wheel Drive
Question:
How hard is it to use this hitch on the 2021 Honda HRV Sport model with front wheel drive? I read that the Curt is a fairly easy install, but does require stabilizer straps for bike racks. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks

For your 2021 Honda HR-V with front wheel drive, you will definitely want to go with the Curt # C11416.This is a great hitch for your HR-V.
The Curt # C11416 technically does not need the stabilizing strap # 18050, but the installation instructions say that you must use it, so I would. It does give more support when a bike rack or cargo carrier is used. You could also go with an anti-rattle device like the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061-125 as well. This will clamp the rack or carrier to the hitch, giving it less movement while installed.
