Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Honda CR-V (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 525 lbs. TW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.

Fishwire two 7/16" carriage bolts and two CM-SP2 spacers through the vehicle access holes to the attachment holes on each side. The fishwire diagram on page 2 shows the routing through both driver side and passenger side frame rails. Once the hitch is raised into position, feed the fishwires through the holes in the hitch, then remove the fishwires and loosely secure the 7/16" hex flange nuts on each side.
The parts list includes: four 7/16-14 UNC carriage bolts (part 10-10281), four 0.250 x 0.88 x 2.25" square hole spacers (CM-SP2), four 7/16-14 UNC serrated flange nuts (20-00103), four 7/16" fishwires, one 1/2-13 UNC carriage bolt (10-10288), one 0.250 x 1.50 x 2.00" round hole spacer (CM-SP16), and one 1/2-13 UNC serrated flange nut (20-00062).
Torque all 7/16" hardware to 59 ft-lbs and all 1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lbs. This applies to both the frame attachment bolts and the tow loop plate attachment.
The tow loop plate is secured to the recovery loop using one 1/2" bolt (part 10-10288), one CM-SP16 spacer (0.250 x 1.50 x 2.00" round hole spacer), and one 1/2" hex flange nut (part 20-00062). This assembly is torqued to 110 ft-lbs in Step 5.

After torquing all fasteners in Step 5, reinstall the items removed in Step 1: the three rubber exhaust isolators and the five lower fascia fasteners.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection helps maintain safe towing operation.
