For your 2012 Honda Accord the Draw Tite Hitch # 24899 would be a great choice. This hitch has the capacities of 2,000 lb total trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight.
When determining the towing capacity of a vehicle the lowest rated component will be the actual towing capacity since a setup is only as strong as it's weakest part. You will need to check the towing capacity for your vehicle in the owners manual and you will need to go with the lower capacity between the hitch and the vehicle.
