We do have all the parts you need for your 2020 Honda Fit to carry your gear, and let's start with the trailer hitch, with the best option being the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24920.

This hitch has the best ground clearance of the hitches that fit the 2020 Honda Fit so since you are using it for a bike rack this is exactly what you'll need. As for the bike rack, this is a Class I hitch so you do need a Class I compatible bike rack as well as one approved for flat towing. The RidgeBack is not compatible with Class I hitches, so the better option instead, due to its unique combination of quality and cost-effectiveness, is the Swagman Chinook 2 Bike Platform Rack # S64683.

For a roof rack, I recommend going with Rhino-Rack because you will get the same high-quality rack as other name-brand racks but at a lesser cost, making it the best value for your 2020 Fit. The Rhino-Rack roof rack that fits your 2020 Honda Fit is made up of the following parts:

- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2
- Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA
- Custom DK Fit Kit # DK438

For a cargo box, I really like the Yakima series of boxes because they are easy to use and really high-quality. The right one will depend on how much cargo space in the box you are looking for.

- 12 cubic feet: Yakima SkyBox 12 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07334

- 14 cubic feet: Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07192

- 16 cubic feet: Yakima GrandTour Rooftop Cargo Box # YA74FR

- 18 cubic feet: Yakima GrandTour Premium Rooftop Cargo Box # YA84FR
