Trailer Hitch And 4-Bike Carrier For 2011 Honda CR-V
Question:
Hi there, Im looking for a good solution to get 4 bikes on my 2011 Honda CRV. These products look like they will do the job, but wanted to make sure they are both compatible. Does this look like a good solution? 13555 TH9056

Expert Reply:
The trailer hitch you mentioned, part # 13555 is a good fit for your 2011 CR-V. This is a Class lll trailer hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening.
The bike carrier # TH9056 is also a great fit for your vehicle. This carrier can hold four bikes that weigh up to 37-1/2 lbs each.
For added security you can purchase the hitch lock part # THSTL2 that secures the bike carrier to the trailer hitch.
If you are planning on carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or women's bikes I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and allows the bike to be carried more level in the carrier while providing additional ground clearance. I have attached a product review video for this adapter bar.
