OK first off the ball size has NOTHING to do with what receiver it fits on
it will all come down to what size hole you have in your receiver, for the shank of the BALL to fit thru, you want as tight a fit on shank to receiver hole as possible.
I have honestly NO clue what the hole size is on a 2017 honda receiver, but I am darn sure your DEALER can answer this question with a phone call
IF he says it has a 3/4 inch hole in it, then buy a 2 inch ball with a 3/4 inch shank!
NOW The next question and one you MAY wish to THINK about is LENGTH of the shank itself, as you do NOT need one that is hanging down too low, it will just get beat up, booger the treads up making getting it off down the road a royal pain, and it will drag on things
. BOTH shank size and length are OPTIONS On balls when you buy them, as are weight ratings of the balls and material the ball itself is made out of
some will rust WAY faster than others.
SO< when you CALL the dealer to as HOW BIG the hole is in the receiver, also ask HOW thick the receiver is, and then you will know what size shank you need in bother Dia. and length!
Ball material, is your choice as well, harden steel, chrome plated, stainless steel and the likes??
