Comparing Trailer Hitch Receivers For 2017 Honda CR-V Touring AWD
Question:
Hi, Im looking for the most elegant 2 hitch for my 2017 CR-V AWD Touring. It seems the best options are: e98848 C13397 306-X7345 I guess my biggest question is why the Eco Hitch is over twice as expensive as the other options? Is it more hidden? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848, Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13397, and EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7345 for your 2017 Honda CR-V Touring AWD will all be equally hidden with just the receiver itself being visible as shown in the included pictures. The EcoHitch is set apart due to it using Eco friendly recycled aero-space grade aluminum, steel, and stainless steel to make it more corrosion resistant.
Between these options I recommend the # e98848 as it uses a matte black powder coat finish which is strong to prevent scratches and chips, but also will most closely match the black trim on your CR-V making it blend in the best and in my opinion will be the most elegant looking.
If you are planning on towing with your CR-V you will need a 4-way connector # 118741, and a ball mount, hitch ball, and hitch pin and clip which can all be found in the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900.
If you are planning on using your trailer hitch receiver for something else just let me know and I would be happy to recommend the best products for your application.
I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
