Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid Touring

Updated 01/19/2026 | Published 08/05/2024

Question:

What hitch kit do I need for a 2025 Hybrid Touring Honda CRV please? My understanding is that the Hybrid battery complicates things a little bit. Thanks.

Hey Dave, thanks for reaching out!

The hitch I recommend picking up for your 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848 because of the matte black finish. This not only looks better but it's also more durable than the classic glossy black finish we see with the other hitches.

This will fit just fine with your Hybrid battery as you can see in the installation video on a 2024 Hybrid Touring I've linked for you to check out!

Hey Dave, how did the hitch receiver work out on your 2025 CR-V Hybrid? It’d be great to hear if the fit and clearance around the battery matched what you saw in the video. Your update could make it easier for others with the same model.
