Hey Nicholas, welcome back. To add a hitch to your 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport, I recommend the Curt item # C13397. It fits all models of the 2023 CR-V including your hybrid sport. This custom fit hitch has a 2" receiver, a 3,500 lbs towing capacity, and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight. It includes all hardware necessary to complete the installation.

I really like the Curt Hitch item # C13397 because the main crosstube installs completely behind the rear bumper. The only visible portion is the 2" receiver and safety chain loops. This not only looks better but helps with ground clearance.

What do you plan on using your new hitch for?

@NicholasS You're welcome. Since you plan on pulling a trailer, you'll also need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C56370. This will give you a 4-way connector capable of controlling the trailer's lighting functions. I linked an installation video below so you can see where the custom fit connector plugs in on your CR-V.

Installed one on my 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid with the wiring kit and all fit well. Hitch has a greater capacity than the car, but it fits all 2" accessories. Small interference with the hands free sensor, but still fit.
