Are Trailer Hitches Visible Under the Rear Bumper of a 2014 Honda CR-V

Expert Reply:

Draw-Tite is just the brand name and does not necessarily describe the appearance of the hitch on the vehicle. In this case, hitch # 75742 will have the cross tube visible beneath the rear fascia on the 2014 Honda CR-V. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation to give you an idea of what it will look like installed.

All of the trailer hitches for the 2014 CR-V will fit the same way. The other thing to look at is the vehicle owners manual for the towing capacity of the vehicle. The hitch is rated for 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 525 pounds tongue weight but the vehicle is most likely not rated as high. You will always want to go by the lower rating.

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. And for trailer wiring you can use # 118561. I have linked a video showing a typical installation of the wiring as well.
