Hey all. I don't know if anybody is still looking but I have a trailer hitch (used for a bike rack only) on my 2019 Civic Sport Hatch. I bought a Draw-Tite Class 1 Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24954 online from Etrailer. I plagiarized some of the work of another member and made the below diagram.
I did have to make one modification to the car. Under the bumper cover on the left side is a metal tab like thing hanging down from the body. I think this was used in production or shipping. It serves no purpose at all. I cut it off with a hacksaw and primed the exposed metal. I didn't have to cut the bumper cover or modify the exhaust. The welding shop did an amazing job getting it lined up (your results may vary). The hitch bolted right up and works perfectly. I can't use it for a trailer as I had the shop cut off the safety chain loops. That's Ok, I wouldn't want to tow with this thing anyway.
Like I said, I'll sell you one ready to bolt up for $500 plus shipping if you want. I'm not looking to get into the hitch-selling business but that's about how much I have invested in this thing.
Thanks for looking and I wish you great success with your projects!
