We do have a trailer hitch receiver for your 2017 Honda CR-V. I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III -2 inch # 76128. This hitch has the e-coat base and powder coat finish for excellent rust protection.

If you will be towing with this trailer hitch receiver, you'll need a few other items, beginning with a trailer wiring harness, part # 118741.

For a ball mount, I recommend the # 2753 ball mount and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.

If you need a recommendation for an accessory for this hitch, like a bike rack or a cargo carrier, let me know and I'd be happy to help.

For a 2 bike rack on your 2017 Honda CR-V, Swagman Chinook 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting # S64683. This is a nice rack that holds you bikes by the frame and supports their weight by their wheels. It has a measurement of 12-1/8 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the carrier when down and 6 inches when folded up. The cam-action lever at the base lets you tilt the rack down even with bikes loaded to gain access to the cargo area or make loading the bike easier. This carrier has all the security features of a hitch lock with anti-rattle as well as the locks on the ratcheting hooks. The cradles can be swapped for fat bike tire compatibility if desired using # S64679.
