My favorite hitch for your 2019 CR-V is the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" part # e98848. This hitch offers a very nice look when installed because the cross tube is hidden behind the bumper cover. This helps to maintain the looks of your CR-V by not adding a bunch of extra steel at the rear. (see photos) Its weight ratings are also well above what your CR-V is rated for offering a 525 lb. Tongue weight rating and a 3500 lb. Gross trailer weight rating. Also the matte black finish holds up really well when compared to the glossy finishes that are available like on the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" part # 76128.

If you will be hauling a trailer or cargo carrier with lights consider using the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118741. These prove to be the most dependable and reliable wiring harnesses on the market. It will give you a fully functional 4-way flat trailer connector at the rear of your vehicle.

I've included a couple of my favorite accessories if you don't already have what you need to put this hitch to work and some videos for each.

For a ball mount kit etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 7,500 lbs part # 989900 will have everything you need to haul a trailer plus has a carrying bag to eliminate the mess in the rear of your vehicle.

For a cargo carrier you can't go wrong with the 24x60 etrailer.com Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Tilting - Folding - 500 lbs part # e98874. This allows you to free up space inside your vehicle and keep dirty things outside rather than getting it in your CR-V. It also has a folding feature for compact storage and a tilt-away feature to allow you gain acces s into your cargo area regardless of what you have loaded.
