I'm glad you're happy with your completed hitch install!
The right bike rack for your needs will depend on several factors, including but not limited to your budget, how many bikes you want to carry, the type of bike, and so on.
The most popular 4 bike rack for owners of a 2019 Pilot is the Thule Hitching Post Pro, part # TH934XTR. If you prefer a platform type rack with a 4 bike capacity, the Saris Freedom 4, part # SA4414B is an excellent choice. Both rack manufacturers produce a high quality product, and both racks are highly rated by our customers.
For a 2 bike rack, my all-time favorite hanging-style rack is the Kuat Beta, part # B202-2 weighs in at about 13 lbs. It's aluminum construction makes it very strong but super-easy to handle. For a platform style rack, you can't do better than the Kuat Transfer, part # KU74FR. This rack is extremely versatile. The rack holds the bikes by the tires near the bikes forks, which won't work for bikes with fenders, but the rack is super easy to use, and the unique U-shaped frame makes it extremely easy to access the inner-most rack for easy loading and unloading.
