These dependable custom hitches are manufactured for 2017-2022 Honda CR-V and attach to your vehicle?s frame or bumper for a sleek, clean appearance. Each hitch also has a 1-1/4 inch square receiver tube opening so you can easily attach accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier, or a utility trailer. DRAW-TITE Class 2 custom trailer hitches come complete with all the mounting hardware needed for installation and are backed by a nationwide lifetime limited warranty. So, whether you are headed out to the campground and need a place for the cooler, taking the bikes to hit the trails in the park, or you are tackling a DIY project (maybe some landscaping or a home repair), choose DRAW-TITE and travel with confidence knowing your setup is connected with the security only DRAW-TITE can provide. DRAW-TITE: North America?s Favorite Hitch.

Draw-Tite has designed custom-fit trailer hitches since 1946 and is one of North America's most widely fitted hitch brands. Receiver hitches use solid all-welded construction and low-profile designs that follow modern vehicle contours, install with minimal bumper cutting or drilling, meet or exceed V5 CSA and SAE J684 standards, and carry a limited lifetime warranty.
Draw-Tite has been leading custom-fit trailer hitch design and engineering since its founding in 1946, and it remains one of the most widely fitted hitch brands in North America. The company's stated approach is straightforward: every hitch is tested rigorously so that it performs well beyond published industry standards, a philosophy it markets as Tested Tough. It sits within the Horizon Global towing group alongside Reese, Fulton, Bulldog, Tekonsha, Bargman and Wesbar.
Custom fit is the defining characteristic. Rather than adapting a universal design, Draw-Tite engineers a trailer hitch for a specific make, model and model year, so it bolts to existing frame locations with minimal bumper cutting or drilling. Low-profile designs follow the rear contours and aerodynamic styling of modern vehicles, which matters more than it once did now that rear fascias are shaped and sensor-equipped. Construction is solid all-welded steel for maximum strength, and every hitch meets or exceeds V5 CSA and SAE J684 standards and is backed by a nationwide limited lifetime warranty.
The range spans receiver sizes and classes to suit different loads, from 1-1/4 inch receivers for bike racks, cargo carriers and light trailers up through 2 inch receivers for heavier towing. Front mount hitches add a receiver at the front of the vehicle for winch mounts, snow plows, spare carriers and precise trailer positioning.
The Hidden Hitch series takes concealment further by mounting behind the vehicle's rear fascia, so the vehicle keeps its factory appearance until a removable receiver is fitted. Each is custom designed per make and model for a no-drill installation that does not compromise ground clearance, rated for up to 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight. Matching plug-and-play wiring completes the towing system.

Part number 36597 is designed for 2017-Current Honda CR-V models. For the most up-to-date information regarding specific model years and trim levels, visit the Cequent website.
The 36597 is a weight-carrying hitch with a maximum gross trailer weight of 3500 lb. (1589 kg) and maximum tongue weight of 350 lb. (159 kg). Do not exceed the lower of your vehicle manufacturer's towing rating or these limits.
You will need a ratchet, torque wrench, safety glasses, sockets, a 6" socket extension, an 11/16" socket, and exhaust removal pliers. A 20-minute installation time is typical for professional installers.
Yes. You must lower the exhaust by removing the rubber isolators from both sides at the rear of the vehicle. It may also be necessary to remove the isolator forward of the rear axle. Spraying lubricant or soapy water on the metal hanger rod and rubber isolator eases removal.
Fish wire is used to route the carriage bolts (items 1 and 2) through the large access hole at the end of the vehicle frame. The fish wire is kept attached to the hardware to help guide it through the frame and prevent it from being pushed back into the vehicle during hitch installation.
The conical washer teeth side must be positioned against the hitch. This is shown in Figure 1 of the installation instructions.
Tighten all 7/16"-14 fasteners to 50 lb.-ft. (68 N·m) and all 3/8"-16 fasteners to 30 lb.-ft. (41 N·m) using a torque wrench.
The 36597F kit includes: (4) carriage bolts 7/16"-14 x 1 1/4" GR5, (4) spacers 3/16" x 1" x 2", (4) conical washers 7/16", (4) hex nuts 7/16"-14 GR2, (1) U-bolt 3/8"-16 GR5, (2) flat washers 3/8", (1) lock washer 3/8", (1) hex nut 3/8"-16 GR2, and (4) fish wire 7/16".
1. Lower the exhaust by removing rubber isolators from both sides. 2. Use fish wire to route carriage bolts through the frame access hole. 3. Raise the hitch into position, guiding it over the mufflers, and loosely install the initial fasteners. 4. Tighten all fasteners to specification using a torque wrench. 5. Raise the exhaust back into position and reinstall all isolators.
Items 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 should be loosely installed to hold the hitch in place before final tightening. Items 3 and 4 are the initial attachment points, and items 6, 7, and 8 are installed on the U-bolt (item 5) at the towhook. All fasteners are then tightened to specification in step 4.
Always wear safety glasses when installing the hitch. Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. Proper torque is needed to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing. Periodically verify that all fasteners remain tight and the hitch is securely mounted to the vehicle.
Load the trailer heavier in front. Always wear your seatbelt. Slow down when towing and never exceed any posted speed limit. If excess sway occurs, take your foot off the gas pedal and hold the steering wheel as steady as possible. Do not apply your brakes and do not speed up.
No. Do not cut, weld, or modify this receiver. Any modifications will compromise the integrity and safety of the hitch.
The 36051 is an authorized drawbar kit sold separately. If used, the drawbar must be used in the RISE position only.
The U-bolt is installed over the towhook and through the bracket at the back of the hitch receiver. Items 6, 7, and 8 (flat washer, lock washer, and hex nut) are then loosely installed onto the U-bolt before final tightening to 30 lb.-ft. (41 N·m).
The large access hole at the end of the vehicle frame is used to route the fish wire and carriage bolts (items 1 and 2) through the frame. This allows the fasteners to be positioned without removing the entire frame.
Gently raise the hitch into position, carefully guiding it over the mufflers. Be careful not to push the hardware back into the vehicle frame when feeding the fish wires through the attachment holes in the hitch.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners and the ball are properly tightened. Periodically verify that all fasteners remain tight and the hitch is securely mounted to the vehicle.
A hitch or ball which has been damaged should be removed and replaced. Do not continue to use a damaged hitch.
Spray a lubricant or soapy water on the metal hanger rod and the rubber isolator to ease removal. This makes it easier to detach the exhaust isolators from both sides of the vehicle.
After tightening all fasteners to specification, raise the vehicle exhaust back into position and reinstall all isolators that were removed in step 1.
If the hitch is removed, plug all holes in the trunk pan or other body panels to prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners remain tight. If fasteners have loosened, use a torque wrench to retighten all 7/16"-14 fasteners to 50 lb.-ft. (68 N·m) and all 3/8"-16 fasteners to 30 lb.-ft. (41 N·m). Proper torque is needed to keep the hitch secure to the vehicle when towing.
Yes, part number 118741 is designed for Honda CR-V models from 2017 to current, all styles. For the most up-to-date information regarding specific application years and trim levels, visit the Horizon Global website.
The T-One® T-Connector is a trailer lighting harness that provides a 4-way flat connector for towing. It connects to your vehicle's factory 6-pin connector and includes a module with integrated lighting control.
The hardware kit includes: one 15 Amp fuse, double-sided tape, cable ties (8.5"), plastic trim panel removal tools, Phillips screwdriver, safety glasses, and a test light. You will also need to have a trim panel remover tool available.
Yes. You must locate the vehicle's battery, disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable before beginning installation. This is a critical safety step to prevent serious injury and damage to the vehicle's electrical system.
The vehicle's white 6-pin connector is located behind the upper trim panel on the driver's side of the rear interior. You access it by opening the hatch, removing the rear threshold, cargo net and cargo cover, and carefully pulling back the upper trim panel on the driver's side.
Gently pull back the upper trim panel on the driver's side to reveal the vehicle's white 6-pin connector. Insert the T-One® T-Connector harness into the vehicle's white 6-pin housing and lock it in place.
Mount the black box module on a flat surface inside the vehicle that is out of the way, to prevent damage or rattling. Clean the mounting surface with a 50-50 mixture of rubbing alcohol and water before applying the supplied double-sided tape to the flat side of the black box.
On the driver's side, locate the existing ground stud. Loosen the bolt, place the screw eyelet on the stud, and re-tighten the bolt. Ensure all existing ground connections remain attached and torque the existing ground screw to the manufacturer's torque specifications.
The manual states that the existing ground screw must be torqued to the manufacturer's torque specifications, but the specific torque value is not provided in this installation manual. Contact Horizon Global technical support at 800-632-3290 or TechnicalSupport@horizonglobal.com for the exact torque value.
For 2017–2022 models (all styles), locate the interior fuse compartment under the steering column. Remove the fuse compartment cover and lid, then locate fuse location 37. If not already installed, insert the 15 Amp fuse from the included hardware kit. Note: This fuse location is not available on all models.
For 2023 and current models (all styles), locate the interior fuse compartment under the steering column. Remove the fuse compartment cover and lid, then locate fuse location 17. If not already installed, insert the 15 Amp fuse from the included hardware kit. Note: This fuse location is not available on all models.
A 15 Amp fuse is required. This fuse is included in the hardware kit. Do not use a fuse with a higher amperage rating, as replacing a fuse that exceeds the product fuse amperage rating and the vehicle fuse amperage rating could result in damage to the vehicle and other attached accessories.
Secure the remainder of the T-One® T-Connector harness with the cable ties provided. Be careful to avoid any areas that would pinch, cut, or melt the wire. This prevents damage and rattling during vehicle operation.
When the 4-flat harness is not in use, store it in an out-of-the-way area in the rear cargo compartment to prevent damage and tangling.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Do not touch the negative battery terminal to the positive battery terminal, as serious injury and damage to the vehicle's electrical system can occur. Read and follow all warnings and cautions printed on the vehicle's battery. Ensure all connections are complete before testing. Do not exceed the stated product ratings or the towing manufacturing rating in your vehicle's owner's manual.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Start/Stop option, do not connect the module power wire to the support battery. Connect the module only to the main vehicle battery. Failure to connect to the main vehicle battery may result in damage to the module.
Test and verify the installation with a test light or trailer once installed. For the initial test, reset the vehicle's electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition. All connections must be complete for the T-One® T-Connector to function properly.
Perform a pre-trip inspection of the 4-way flat harness to ensure no damage to terminals and connection points for proper lighting connection and operation. Clean the 4-way flat connector after each use. Clean the connection and add dielectric grease (sold separately) to the terminal pins. Ensure the 4-way flat harness does not get pinched in door latches, trailer connection points, or contact the road surface.
First, ensure the T-One® Connector ends are fully inserted and locked in place. Remove the module's power fuse for 10 seconds and repeat the test. Check chassis grounds and ensure ring terminals are in full contact with the vehicle chassis. If the problem persists, remove the module's power fuse again.
The installation may have activated circuit protection. Start the vehicle and turn off all functions: tail (headlights), brake, and turns. Remove the module's power fuse for 10 seconds and repeat the test. Ensure the fuse is fully inserted into the fuse holder with no breaks. Verify the fuse holder is connected properly to the positive post of the battery. Using a tester or voltmeter, check for voltage on either side of the yellow butt connector near the module. Remove the module power fuse for 10 seconds and repeat the test.
