The Curt ATV Towing Starter Kit # C45038 may fit your 2018 Honda FourTrax Rancher though it is not designed as a specific fit for ATVs.

Does your Rancher ATV have a tongue like in the accompanying photo? If so it will simply bolt onto that tongue, which is what would be required for this to fit on your Honda. I took a look at a bunch of photos of this ATV and was unable to determine if it has the tongue but a quick glance at the rear of your ATV and you should be able to tell pretty quickly.

I have added a link to a video review of this kit for you to check out as well.
