Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2014 Honda Accord
Question:
Im look for a hitch that will fit my Honda Accord EXL V6 2014. I need the receiver to be 2inch so it would fit my bike rack. I dont like using a converter because the bike rack sway to much. Can you help? Thank you

I have a hitch solution I can provide for you, but there aren't any 2 inch hitches available for your 2014 Honda Accord because 2 inch hitches are typically only seen on larger vehicles likes trucks and SUVs that have higher towing capacities.
For a hitch the # C11496 has been confirmed as a fit and would be a great choice. Since this is a Class I hitch you would be limited to only carrying 2 bikes at a time. You will also need a new bike rack since you do not want to use an adapter.
The Swagman XTC2, part # S64670 is one of the most popular racks because it's so easy to use, and because the rack has an angled shank that would raise the bike rack up by three inches providing additional ground clearance. Because of that, this is the rack I'd recommend for you. The rack includes an anti-rattle hitch bolt, but a combination anti-rattle hitch lock/cable lock is available separately as part # S64031.
