Question:
Looking for a hitch for my 2025 Honda CR-V so I can tow small trailers like a U-Haul when I need it.

Expert Reply:
Hi Barry; the best hitch for towing with your 2025 Honda CR-V is the etrailer # e98848. This is a Class III hitch with a bolt-on installation. It has a concealed cross tube so only the receiver will be visible, a matte black finish, and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
You will also need wiring to power your trailer's signal lights. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118741 will plug into the connection point in your rear cargo area and provide you with a 4-way. For a ball mount to complete your setup, check out the etrailer # e77DR.
