Best Hidden Trailer Hitch for a 2022 Honda CR-V With Hands-Free Liftgate
Question:
I want to install a trailer hitch on my 2022 Honda CR-V but I would love for it to be as hidden as possible and I need to make sure my hands-free feature works for the hatch. What do you recommend?

For your application I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848. This has a hidden crosstube and a matte black finish so it will really blend in with the fascia on your 2022 Honda CR-V, plus it won't interfere with the hands-free liftgate feature, although you may have to kick to either side of the receiver instead of just swinging your feet under the bumper.
Attached is an installation video and a photo showing this hitch installed on a 2021 CR-V for you to check out.
If you were planning on using this hitch for a bike rack and you don't already have one then I recommend checking out the Yakima StageTwo # Y47VR. This is a premium rack from Yakima and it combines strength (60 lbs per bike rating) with ease-of-use and a sleek look. The trays have some adjustability to make loading bikes easier and the tilting/folding feature is access at the very back of the rack so it's much easier to use than most other platform racks.
