  • Availability of One Bike Rack to Fit 2008 Honda Civic EXL, 2011 Acura TSX, and 2012 Honda CR-V
  • A hitch bike rack or a trunk mount style bike rack would be the only way to be able to use the same bike rack on two of the three vehicles (2008 Honda Civic, 2011 Acura TSX). The 2012 Honda CR-V does not have a hitch available for a hitch bike rack at this time and the trunk mount style bike rack will not fit the 2012 Honda CR-V. To use a hitch bike rack that slips into a trailer hitch on your vehicles you will need to choose a Class I rated hitch bike rack that will install into a 1-1/4...

  • The Yakima HitchSki, # Y02418, snowboard and ski carrier for hitch mounted bike racks that you referenced is designed to work on a two arm, 4 bike, hitch mounted bike rack that has Anti-Sway cradles and straight arms.

  • Availability of Bike Rack To Fit a Honda Fit Sport Model
  • To carry a bike on your Honda Fit Sport model would require the use of a hitch and a hitch bike rack. The Honda Fit Sport uses a rear roof line spoiler that will prevent the use of a trunk mounted bike rack. None of the manufacturers of trunk bike racks that we carry will offer a bike rack that will fit the Sport model. If your Honda Fit is a 2009 to 2013 model year I would recommend the Curt Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # C11064. Since the hitch for your vehicle will be a Class I hitch...

  • Availability of Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2014 Ford Fusion
  • Your 2014 Fusion is one of the rare vehicles that isn't compatible with trunk mounted bike racks. According to Yakima, Hollywood Racks and Thule, when they conducted fit tests on your vehicle, they found that the trunk lid and bumper cover weren't strong enough to carry the combined weight of the bikes and the bike rack without being damaged. The best alternative method for carrying bikes would be to install a trailer hitch and a hitch mounted bike rack. For a hitch, I'd recommend going...

  • 3-Bike Trunk-Mount Bike Rack Options for 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad
  • We have many options in trunk-mount 3-bike racks confirmed to fit on your 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad edition.

This rack's unique design avoids contact with the spoiler and it uses straps that connect to the roof rack or rails for extra support. If you do not have the roof structure to allow attachment...

  • Availability of 2 Inch Receiver Hitch for Carrying Bike Rack on 2005 Volvo S40
  • Due to the towing limitations of the vehicle and the attachment points where the hitch would install, only a Class I hitch with the 1-1/4 inch receiver is available for the 2005 Volvo S40. I'd recommend the Curt Class I hitch, part # C11438. You could use a hitch adapter like # HTAD to accommodate your existing bike rack, but because using an adapter applies additional leverage to the hitch and its attachment points to the vehicle, using an adapter would reduce the 200 lb tongue weight...

The solution I can offer you is a hitch-mount bike rack, which will naturally require a hitch to be installed on the Camaro. This is not bad news.
