Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2019 Honda CR-V
Question:
I just got a new 2019 CR-V and now we need a trailer hitch for our small trailer. I think I need trailer wiring as well. What do you have?

The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2019 Honda CR-V is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76128. The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver is the easiest to install option for a Honda CR-V and it will not require any trimming of the rear bumper fascia like most others will. Furthermore, the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver is the only option for a Honda CR-V that will not completely inhibit use of the hands free lift gate sensor without a relocation bracket.
In order to complete a towing setup you will also need a trailer wiring harness, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118741 is what I recommend. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness is a plug and play option so it is very easy to install and you can mount it to the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver using the Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat part # 18144. For a ball mount/hitch ball, I recommend the Ball Mount Kit part # 989900 as this kit comes with everything else needed to complete the towing setup.
If the trailer has brakes, add the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation part # ETBC7L and the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180. I have attached some install videos and a photo as well for you.
