Question:

I plan to tow a small trailer with my 2018 Honda CR-V, which trailer hitch do you recommend?

For your 2018 Honda CR-V the trailer hitch I recommend is the etrailer.com hitch part # e98848 because it is a 2 inch hitch with plenty of towing capacity, is priced great, and because only the hitch opening is visible underneath the rear of your vehicle so it's the easiest on the eyes.

Then for trailer wiring our most reliable and best option is the T-One kit part # 118741 which I attached an install video for as well.

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.
