Yes. The etrailer Hitch # e98848 is a confirmed fit on your 2020 Honda CR-V XLE with AWD, and will provide you with a Class III hitch with 2" receiver that will do whatever you need it to do, from towing a trailer to carrying bikes on a road trip. If you're going to be towing with this hitch, you will need a couple of other parts to complete your towing setup; you'll need a wiring harness for the trailer lights, a ball mount and hitch ball.

For a trailer wiring harness, I recommend using the Tekonsha # 118741 because we've found that the Tekonsha converters are the most reliable when it comes to trailer wiring. This wiring harness will provide you with a 4 way connector to power the lighting functions on your trailer. To complete your towing setup I recommend using the etrailer Ball Mount kit # 989900 since it gives you everything else you would need to tow a trailer, all in one kit. This ball mount kit comes with 2 ball mounts with varying rise or drops, 2 hitch balls (1-7/8" and 2"), hitch pins, clips and a handy carrying bag to keep everything together when not in use. This is the perfect solution because it will allow you to tow a variety of different small trailers without needing to go get new parts each time.

I've linked some helpful installation and review videos, as well, in the event that you want to see how everything installs.
