Comparing 2" Trailer Hitches for 2020 Honda CR-V
Question:
Hello. I'm going to install a 2" trailer hitch on my 2020 Honda CRV. Can you compare the options and recommend the best one? I see that there are two available? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
There are indeed two 2" trailer hitches available for your 2020 Honda CR-V; the etrailer # e98848 and the Curt # C13397. These Class III hitches are essentially identical in every way except for the finish/powder coat that they use. I personally prefer the unique matte black finish that the etrailer # e98848 uses compared to the shiner gloss-like powder coat on the Curt. I think this creates a more rugged appearance that more closely matches the vehicle and it's also going to do a better job of hiding scratches over time.
Otherwise both hitches will install the same way, offer a sleek hidden-crosstube design where only the 2" receiver is visible (see attached images), and feature the same 3,500 pound towing weight capacity and 525 pound tongue weight limit.
I have attached a full installation video that you can follow along with as well.
