What Trailer Hitch Will Fit My 2021 Honda CRV Hybrid

Question:

Hi, do you have a hitch for a 2021 Honda CRV HYBRID? Or do you confirm that Honda USA does not approve of the installation of any hitch? I just need one for a bike rack. Honda argues that it is because of the batteries that are located under the rear of the car.

When it comes to which is confirmed for your 2021 Honda CRV Hybrid, I recommend The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2 inch # 306-X7345. The EcoHitch has a concealed cross tube. It has a gross towing weight up to 3,500 pounds and has a tongue weight rating up to 525 pounds. The hitch is confirmed to tow up to 3,500 pounds but per Honda your vehicle can only tow up to 1,500 pounds. The only issue that you will have with the Ecohitch is the hands free lift gate function will no longer work with the hitch installed.

When it comes to a bike rack I recommend The Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch Hitches - Frame Mount # HLY94FR. It's a 2 bike rack, that can hold up to 35 pounds per bike.

I have attached a install video link below.
