Hey Tom. To install a hitch on your 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport, I recommend our etrailer item # e98848. This custom fit class III hitch has a 2" receiver and comes with all hardware necessary to complete the installation.
Our etrailer Hitch item # e98848 has a 525 lbs tongue weight capacity so it will work great with the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 4 Bikes item # TH69TX or the item # TH83JV for 2 bikes. When we installed this hitch the hitch pin hole measured 2-1/2" behind the closest point of the rear bumper. The top of the 2" receiver is 11-1/2" off of the ground.
I really the etrailer Hitch item # e98848 because of how it installs. The installation is pretty easy and once you get it onto your CR-V the only part visible is the 2" receiver.
I've linked an installation video below along with the instructions so you can see how to get the etrailer item # e98848 setup.
Do you have the 4-bike T2 Pro or the 2-bike?
