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.
Installation requires some fascia trimming and temporary lowering of exhaust
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities
Not compatible for use with vertical hanging bicycles (bike racks that require the bicycles to be hung / mounted vertically)

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.
