Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2013 Honda CR-V
Question:
I am interested in a itch for a 2013 Honda CRV and I need to use it with a 2inch ball. Could you recommend everything I need to install it please? Do I start with something like the Curt Trailer Hitch Thank you.

Helpful Expert Reply:
To start you would want a trailer hitch. The Curt hitch part # C13119 that you referenced would be a great choice.
Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring you would want the part # C56158. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
