Which Trailer Hitch Fits on a 2021 Honda CR-V Touring

Question:

I see in the comments it will fit a hybrid. Just want to make sure before I order will it fit a standard non hybrid 2021 Touring as well? Also does it come with wiring, or what would I need to order for that? Thanks.

I have a solution for you, but the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98848 will not fit on the 2021 Honda CR-V Touring models. Instead, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 306-X7345 can be used and is the only hitch that is currently confirmed to fit on the 2021 CR-V Touring (non-hybrid and Hybrid).

This hitch comes with the hardware for installation included, but not the trailer wiring; this wiring can be added with the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118741. This harness easily installs by plugging into the available wiring socket on the driver side trim panel in the rear cargo area and will provide you with a 4 way trailer connector to allow you to tow a small trailer without brakes.

If you don't already have a ball mount and hitch ball, you might want to get a complete kit that will allow you to cover a few different possible trailer configurations; the # EBMK4 would be a good choice. I've also linked our entire selection of ball mounts, hitch balls, hitch pins and clips, plus an helpful guide that we did on how to measure for the correct rise/drop for your trailer if you've got a particular trailer in mind.

I've linked some review and installation videos of these parts for you that you might also find helpful. If you need to tow a trailer with brakes, let me know and I can help you get the other parts you'll need for that.
