Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Honda CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid and Does it Affect the Liftgate Sensor
Updated 09/10/2025 | Published 09/03/2025
Question:
Will it fit a 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring? If so, would I need to get the handsfree power tailgate sensor adapter to relocate the sensor?

Hey Carlos. The Curt Hitch item # C13397 does indeed fit a 2023 Honda CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid. The hands-free liftgate feature will still work once installed. The only thing that will change is that your foot will need to go on either side of the receiver to trigger the sensor. You can see this at the 1:30 mark in the installation videos below.
What do you plan on using your hitch for?
