#59 of 108 Re: Curt Class 2.5 Hitch on 2007 CR-V [rted] by finbar_ohara Sep 05, 2007 (6:14 am)
Replying to: rted (Sep 04, 2007 1:51 pm) Can you post a picture? I need a 2" receiver so I can share my bike rack with our other truck. Most if no all of the class I hitches are 1.25".   If anyone else has PICs of their install of an after market hitch, please post... Thanks!

Replying to: finbar_ohara (Sep 05, 2007 6:14 am) I'm afraid the Hidden Hitch model I referenced is 1.25". I guess the ones with 2" tend to be Class II or above by default, not that the vehicle in question will benefit from the "Class II" rating of the hitch.   People on hondasuv.com tout the wonderful Curt hitch because among other things it bolts on the unibody "frame" on the sides of the hiddeen spare-tire well and also utilizes the center tow hook for stability. Well, so does the H.H. at half the weight.   But if you have to have a 2" receiver, then that's what you need above all else. Best of luck getting somthing that serves the need. For my part, I found a bike carrier that hangs off the back-door spare tire just fine and carries two cycles. Under $100.

Replying to: mikezzz (May 10, 2007 9:01 am) I did a search for hitches and found 1 company that sold a Curt model. You have to buy from a dealer. I ended up with a Class 3 bolt on Draw Tite with a 2 in. receiver. I have the type of bike rack that the wheels set in hoops. It is a 2 bike model Xport. The heat from the muffler(even though it is raised) could melt the tire on the bike closest to the car. Replies to this message: m171333 (Jun 06, 2008 6:11 am)
