For your 2021 Honda CR-V Non-Hybrid with the hands-free lift gate sensor I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver.

This hitch has a hidden crosstube meaning once installed the only part that will be visible is the receiver itself as you can see in the included picture, and it will work with your hands free lift gate sensor as you will just need to place your foot on either side of the receiver.

I really like the matte black powder coat finish on this hitch as it blends in quite nicely to the black plastic trim on your CR-V compared to the gloss black finish that is standard amongst other hitches.

Now if you will be towing a trailer with your CR-V you will also need to pick up a vehicle wiring harness # 118741, and a ball mount, hitch ball, and hitch pin and clip which can all be found in the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900.

I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
