To reduce the hitch receiver on your 2013 Honda CR-V from 2 inches to 1-1/4 inches, I recommend the Brophy Hitch Reducer # HT02. This is a great and simple hitch reducer that has a tongue weight capacity of 300 pounds and measures only 3 inches from pin hole to pin hole. I have attached a short video demonstration so you can see exactly how it works and how far it will stick out from the hitch.

The great thing about this particular adapter is that when using most other similar hitch adapters, the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch will be reduced by 50%. Because of the sleeve design on this unit, you will get to retain the hitch's full capacity on your CR-V when using the adapter.
