Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2019 Honda CR-V

Question

Question:

Good morning. I will be doing some towing with my 2019 CR-V and basically just needing to get set up for that. Know I need a hitch obviously and wiring for the lights. Can you recommend these for my CR-V? Thank you very much.

We have everything needed to set your 2019 Honda CR-V up for towing!

Starting with the trailer hitch I strongly recommend the etrailer.com Class III # e98848 because it offers a sleek hidden-crosstube design to maintain a nice OEM appearance (see attached image), a unique matte black finish that resists scratching, and is made right here in the USA. It has more capacity than what is needed.

I have attached an installation video that you can also follow along with if you choose to do the install yourself.

Moving on to wiring the Tekonsha T-One Wiring Harness # 118741 is the way to go for the easiest install process (simply plug into a factory/existing port behind the driver side trim panel) and the highest amp capacity. This will provide you with a 4-Way connector to power the trailer's basic signal lights.

I have again included an installation video that you can use for reference.

Lastly in order to tow a trailer you will need a ball mount and hitch ball. I have attached a great article that explains how to choose the best one for your setup along with a link that will take you to our available selection. I have also included a couple towing articles that you might find helpful.
