We do have a hitch for your 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid, however it is not officially listed as a fit per the manufacturer.

The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848 which is made by Curt, has not listed the Hybrid model as being compatible however we have had several customers install this hitch and were successful.

This hitch has a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 lbs, a maximum tonguye weight of 525 lbs, and includes all the mounting hardware needed for install.

Please also note that if your CR-V has a hands-free liftgate, this hitch may interfere with the functionality of it.
