There is only 1 Curt Class III trailer hitch for your 2011 Honda CR-V and it is # 13555. You will not have to cut, trim, or drill anything for installation. It isn't all that hidden though but then again none of the available hitches for your CR-V are hidden.

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend 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 the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

And for trailer wiring you can use # 118427 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle. I have included links to videos showing example installations of the hitch and wiring for you.
