Question:
I wanted to know if the Kuat Sherpa would be a good fit for my 2017 Honda HRV? As far as the hitch goes, I was looking at the EcoHitch X7322. Would these two work for my HRV? Thank you for you help.

I am happy to say that the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 is a great fit with the EcoHitch - 2" # 306-X7322 (X7322) on your 2017 Honda HR-V. The Sherpa 2.0 comes in three colors to choose from: gray # SH22G, black # SH22B, and pearl # SH22P. As far as bumper clearance, even though we do not have the exact measurement from the EcoHitch's center pinhole to the outside face of your bumper, we do have a picture of the hitch installed on a 2016 model Honda HR-V (see attached picture). The installation location on your 2017 model will be almost identical. Fortunately, since the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 measures 7-1/2 inches from the center of the shank's pinhole to the closest part of the rack, you will have plenty of length for fitment.
