Whatever the next checkpoint is on your adventure -- whether it's getting your bike on the trail before sunrise or making it to the campground before dark -- CURT class 2 hitches let you Bring It with confidence. These receiver hitches are made to handle most light-duty towing applications and offer a custom fit for your vehicle. Typically used on full-size cars, crossovers, compact SUVs, minivans or even compact pickup trucks, a CURT class 2 trailer hitch complements the design of smaller vehicles. This particular class 2 hitch is made to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Honda CR-V (to verify vehicle compatibility, see application info). It offers a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. Class 2 trailer hitches can typically be used to tow a variety of lightweight trailers, such as a small utility trailer, small fishing boat trailer or popup camper (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component). They are also perfect for adding cargo space to your vehicle with a bike rack or cargo carrier. This class 2 hitch features a 1-1/4" receiver tube to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch-mounted accessory. For safety, it is tested in accordance with SAE J684. A custom trailer hitch design requires extra care, and as such, CURT class 2 hitches are engineered using real vehicles and hands-on research. We use high-strength steel, robotic welding and rigorous testing to produce hitches that are built to fit your lifestyle. To ensure that each hitch will be a reliable extension of your vehicle, we also finish our hitches in a co-curing of liquid A-coat and black powder coat, giving them long-lasting rust and wear resistance.
CURT custom wiring connectors are the easiest way to outfit your vehicle with a CURT trailer wiring connection. They are built with some of the most advanced technology in the industry, and each one is custom-fitted to work with a specific make and model. Some automotive manufacturers install a special socket on the vehicle to be used for vehicle-to-trailer wiring. Although this special socket is not equipped on every vehicle, a CURT custom wiring connector -- also called a T-connector -- utilizes the socket for simple, stress-free installation. Rather than requiring you to cut, splice and solder into your vehicle's wiring system, the custom wiring connector uses a single OEM-compatible plug and instantly provides a standard, universal vehicle-to-trailer wiring connection, typically in the form a 4-way flat. All CURT custom wiring connectors are made vehicle-specific for the easiest possible installation and the best fit. This particular plug-in connector provides a 4-way flat socket and is designed to be a custom wiring option for certain years of the Honda CRV (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary hardware to establish a solid connection. It also comes with a dust cover to keep the connector socket clean when not in use. To ensure long-lasting reliability, all CURT custom wiring connectors are thoroughly tested for optimal functionality. Stress is the last thing you should feel when towing a trailer -- whether you're hauling your RV to that favorite camping destination, your ATVs up to the hunting grounds or your fishing boat to the new hidden hotspot. At CURT, we think your towing equipment should add to the enjoyment of your experience, not detract from it.

Yes, the CURT 12169 is designed for 2017-present Honda CR-V SUVs. Before purchasing, verify your vehicle matches this model and year range, and confirm your vehicle's towing capacity meets or exceeds the hitch's 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight ratings.
The CURT 12169 is designed for use with ball mount #45521. Euro mount options are also available: #45571 (1 7/8" ball) and #45572 (2" ball).
The CURT 12169 has a gross load capacity of 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. You must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
Required tools are: ratchet, 11/16" and 3/4" sockets, 6" socket extension, torque wrench, masking tape, aviation shears, screwdriver, pry bar, electrical tape, and safety glasses. Proper tools will greatly improve installation quality and reduce installation time.
The kit includes: (4) 7/16-14 UNC 1-1/4" grade 8 carriage bolts (10-10281), (1) 1/2-13 UNC 2" grade 8 bolt (10-10288), (1) 1/2-13 UNC serrated flange nut (20-00062), (4) 7/16-14 UNC serrated flange nuts (20-00103), (4) .250 x .88 x 2.25" square hole spacers (CM-SP2), (1) .188 x 1.50 x 2.00" round hole spacer (CM-SP32), and (4) 7/16" fishwires (7_16 FISHWIRE).
Yes. The first installation step requires lowering the exhaust by removing (3) rubber isolators from the exhaust towards the rear of the vehicle. You will also need to remove (5) clips from the lower fascia. Both items must be reinstalled after the hitch is secured.
Fishwire is used to guide the carriage bolts and spacers through the vehicle access holes to the frame rail attachment holes on each side. You thread (2) 7/16" carriage bolts and (2) CM-SP2 spacers through the vehicle access hole using the fishwire, then feed the fishwires through the hitch holes as you raise it into position. Once the hitch is in place, remove the fishwires and secure the bolts with hex flange nuts.
Yes, the lower fascia must be trimmed as shown in the fascia trim diagram. The trim is 4.625 inches. When trimming, be aware of electrical components. Trimming of the underbody panel may also ease installation but is optional.
Torque all 7/16" hardware to 59 ft-lbs and all 1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lbs. This applies to the carriage bolts, hex flange nuts, and the tow loop plate attachment bolt.
Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The CURT 12169 is rated for 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight, but your vehicle's manufacturer may have a lower limit. Always follow the more restrictive specification.
All non-trailer (wheel-less) loads applied to the CURT 12169 must be supported by 18050 stabilizing straps. Refer to the CURT catalog or visit www.curtmfg.com for further information on these straps.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection helps maintain the integrity and safety of the hitch.
Two people may be required to ease installation. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance.
The installation is rated as Easy to Moderate difficulty. The manual recommends reading all instructions thoroughly before beginning, using proper tools to improve installation quality, and considering two people for the task.

The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. Contact Curt Manufacturing or your vehicle manufacturer for guidance on this safety requirement before beginning installation.
The custom wiring connector is located behind the driver side rear access panel (marked as S3 in the manual). The vehicle's taillight wiring connector is located behind the upper side-trim panel near the taillight.
Open the vehicle tailgate and remove all trunk floor coverings. This provides access to the interior panels and wiring needed for installation.

When in use, route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk. When not in use, roll it up and store in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the trunk. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
Reinstall all items removed during installation. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. Test the connector for proper function using a test light or by connecting a properly wired trailer.
Signal circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side. Tail and running circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed these ratings or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
