Question:
I would like to know what trailer hitch you would recommend for my 2023 Honda CRV Sport Touring Hybrid. Apparently, you sell one with a kit that allows the foot sensor to be relocated. And, I cant find it on your site. Also, I would want it to be wired so I could tow a small trailer. But, my primary uses will be to have a bike rack so I can go trail riding or a luggage rack for out of town trips.

Hey Brooks, I would recommend the Curt hitch part # C13397 for your 2023 Honda CR-V. It might slightly interfere with the hands free liftgate but it will still allow it to work if you kick to the sides of it. For trailer wiring then you'd want the Tekonsha part # 118741 which is the easiest to install and has the most reliable converter box.
Do you have a bike rack already?
