For your 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98848. This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your Honda CR-V's frame with no welding required. The 2" receiver opening is perfect for your Yakima FullTilt 4 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # Y02462 as well as any other 2" receiver accessories.

The sturdy steel construction of this hitch is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

I recommend also installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118741 so that you'll have a 4-pole connector. Depending on the size of the bikes you are hauling your Odyssey's tail lights could be blocked, which can be a safety concern on the road. To combat this you can install magnetic lights like the Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights # C53201 to provide a visible indicator of your braking and turning signals. You can also mount the 4-pole connector to your trailer hitch using the Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144 and No-Drill Mount for Electrical Mounting Bracket - Short # 18140.
