Please see the overall dimensions in the description. It weighs roughly 40 lbs. As far as fitment to your CRV, it depends on your receiver. There is 3 different sizes. 1.25", 2" and 2.5". Standard is 2" which this fits. If you have a smaller 1.25" receiver we have an adapter to bring that to 2". That would be product # U-4053. The 2.5" is a new receiver that is on the newer large trucks that we make an adapter for but not needed for your application.

Accepted Answer

A: Yes it will fit your tire.

When the swing away is attached you will not have the ability to tow a trailer as is but we do offer an option that will allow you to do that. U-4052 is what we call a "piggyback". Allows you to tow AND have a hitch spare tire mount.

This fits a 2" hitch receiver. We have adapters for 1.25" and 2.5" receivers. Those will bring whatever you have to 2". Standard is 2" on most vehicles but some trucks have gone to 2.5" which would be product number U-4054 to bring it to 2" standard.

The 1.25" receiver converting to 2" is U-4053.
