Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2018 Honda CR-V with Hands-Free Tailgate
Question:
Hello. So I have a 2018 Honda CR-V and looking for what the best hitch would be. It does have the lift gate feature - will those still work?

For your 2018 Honda CR-V I recommend the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # E98848 because it features a sleek hidden design where only the receiver is actually visible behind the vehicle. Its matte black finish also adds a unique rugged appearance that isn't present on other brand hitches. It will provide you with a 2 inch hitch receiver and has a towing weight capacity of 3,500 pounds.
I have attached the written installation instructions that you can check out as well.
Any of the trailer hitches available for your 2018 Honda CR-V will require you to obtain a Tailgate Sensor Trailer Hitch Adapter (Honda part 08U59-TLA-100A) from a local Honda dealer if you want to maintain the function of your hands-free tailgate. What this will do is actually allow you to relocate the sensors from their current position so that they will be compatible with a hitch in place. This kit is only available through Honda.
