Expert Reply:
The Curt # C11525 class I hitch you'd looked at has a 2000 lb towing/200 lb tongue weight capacity, so the hitch could handle it perfectly. However, Honda lists the towing capacity of the 2020 Accord as being limited to 1000 lbs per the owner's manual, which puts you about 200 lbs over.
If you can somehow get the loaded trailer weight down to no more than 1000 lbs, you shouldn't have any problems. If you can make that happen, you'll also need a # 3593 ball mount, and a # 19256 for a 1-7/8 or
# 19258 for a 2 inch trailer ball. For a trailer wiring harness, use # 118776.
I've linked to an install video for the hitch.
