There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
What's up with the New 2022 RTL trailer hitch and module - no part #?

It is probably the same as the 2020 & 2021 RTL's but I can't confirm this. I'm guessing that it's just not listed/updated yet.

I agree w/ K80, but if your in a hurry, go to a BRP parts catalog (on one of many websites) and compare the part numbers on the rear contol arm.

Did that already through CanAm dealer with everyone in the supply chain being stumped on what has changed for the 2022 RTL hitch kit. It is not available or listed so my question is did BRP change the rear mounting or the module for this year?

What makes you think this one will not work? Just wondering if someone has told you that it wouldn't fit.
It clearly states; Detailed Fits on Spyder RT 2020 and up

Now if you're asking if the older (pre 2020) wire harness and lcm are the same then no, they are not. In 2020 the wire harness was changed along with the lcm.
Reviving this older post as I have a somewhat urgent and definitive need about the applicable trailer hitch and wiring for my 2020 RTL. K80Shooter, the info at your link does not say the hitch fits Spyder RT 2020 and up. Rather, it states, and this a quote from the BRP website "Detailed Fits on Spyder RT 2020 and 2021 only." This is what is stated if you go to the general Can Am Spyder/Ryker site and go directly to accessories. If you go to the Spyder portion of the site, then build your own, accessories, trailers, there is only one trailer to choose. When you choose it you get the message "The item Trailer Hitch Kit and Control Module you are trying to select enters into conflict with the way your build is currently configured. This message appears on all 2022 Spyder models.
Campermac, I searched several websites, both can am and aftermarket, but the part numbers you provided didn't show anything. From where did you order?
Any help would be appreciated.

I am still waiting for a 2022 RT Limited that I orderded back in March. The Spyder came in with several components missing and no ETA on the missing parts. I was also told that there is a recall of some sort on trailer hitches and towing on the 2022 and I ordered one and it is not available either.

I beleave it may have something to do with reports that the 2022 RT's are coming with a different rear axle and the long bolt that slides though to hold the hitch on will not fit. If this is the case than an axle from an earlier year would need to be used.
As for the wire harness we just used the one from our 2018 F3L and the hitch from our 2014 RT on our 2021 sea to sky. Works great, but the wire harness has to be 2018 or later to work.

I just got my 2022 Spyder RT Ltd home purchased in May. I traded in a 2018 F3 Ltd and I had a Big Bike Parts hitch on it - Part # 41-164. Wasn't sure if it would fit, but it does - as long as the rear shaft has a hole completely through it. Hope this helps.

Via email I queried my dealer as to the need for a different trailer hitch for the 2022 RTLs. His email response was that the entire 2022 hitch is the same as the 2020 & 2021, that there are no install issues and that he had one set aside for me. When I went to pick up my RTL I asked why the hitch was not installed. His first response was that I didn't ask for one. I told him I had the email telling him I wanted one and his response indicating he had one. He quickly changed his tune and told me the hitch for 2022 needed a different shaft and that it was back ordered. I'm going tomorrow to get to the bottom of this BS.

Is BRP paying for the axle and the install?

No. It is my choice to put on a trailer hitch, not something that is required by BRP.
