We offer three Class lll trailer hitches that are designed to fit your 2015 Honda CR-V.
I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 75742. This hitch has a 2 inch receiver opening. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back edge of the bumper on a 2015 CR-V is 2 inches.
The Curt part # C13119 has the same measurements from the pin hole to the back of the vehicle but I like the 75742 because it has more towing capacity than the Curt hitch. I have attached an installation video for the Hidden Hitch on a 2015 CR-V you can check out.
You will want to check your owner's manual or with your dealership to make sure you do not exceed the towing capacity or the tongue weight capacity for your CR-V or the hitch.
If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If you need trailer wiring I recommend the Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, part # 118561. No cutting or splicing is needed for installation. You simply find the connection points behind the driver side tail lights, plug in the harness and you are good to go.
When working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This keeps dirt and moisture out of the electrical connections and helps prevent corrosion.
I have also attached links to some of the products you may be interested in to use in the hitch. If there is a specific item you need any information about, just let me know and I will be glad to make some recommendations that will work for you.
