Expert Reply:

You would want the Draw-Tite part # 75742 for your 2016 Honda CR-V as it is a confirmed fit and would not require the stabilizer strap like only the Curt hitches do.

This is also a Class III hitch with a 2 inch opening that will have higher capacities and more hitch accessories made for it than a Class II with a 1-1/4 inch hitch.

I also attached an install video for this hitch as well.
