Starting with the 2012 Honda CR-V, I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36520. This Class II hitch is confirmed to fit your CR-V and will use existing holes in the vehicle's frame for a no-drill installation. It will provide you with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and features a tongue weight capacity of 300 pounds.
I have attached an installation video on your vehicle that you can use for reference, along with the written installation instructions.
Then for your 2018 Ford Taurus, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class II Frame Receiver Hitch # 36492. This is confirmed to fit your Taurus but will require some minor drilling for installation. It features a 1-1/4 inch receiver and has a tongue weight capacity of 300 pounds.
Both of these hitches will work perfectly for your 1-1/4 inch bike rack and allow you to transport your bikes with ease.
