Hello Ed,

Yes, both the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13397 and the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848 fit the 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid.

I completely understand the confusion. Under the "Confirmed to Fit" section, you'll see "excluding Hybrid" and "Hybrid" listed separately. That doesn't mean the hitch excludes Hybrid models. It simply means the fitment has been verified for both the non-Hybrid and Hybrid versions of the 2025 CR-V. Since both categories are listed, the hitch is confirmed to fit either configuration.

Between the two, I generally recommend the etrailer Hitch # e98848. It has the same fit and capacity as the Curt hitch but features a matte black powder coat finish that does a great job of blending in with the vehicle's trim while also helping to hide minor scratches and road wear over time.

Installation is straightforward and uses existing mounting points on the vehicle's frame, so no welding is required. Once installed, you'll have a 2" receiver that works great for bike racks, cargo carriers, and towing when paired with the appropriate wiring and ball mount.

If you plan on doing some light towing, or have a hitch-mounted accessory that requires a 4-flat connector, you'll also want the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56370. This custom-fit wiring harness plugs into your CR-V's factory wiring and provides a standard 4-way connection for trailer lights and compatible accessories.

What are you planning to use the hitch for on your CR-V Hybrid? Are you getting ready for some bike trips, camping adventures, or a little towing?
