Recommended Trailer Hitch and Platform-Style Bike Rack for 2015 Honda Accord EX-L Sedan
Question:
I want to purchase a hitch to install a bike rack that holds 2 road bikes. I do not have the hitch or the bike rack and I do not know which hitch would work for which bike rack. My car is at 2015 Honda Accord EX-L Sedan. Can you recommend a hitch and bike rack?

I'd be happy to help you with that! For a hitch, I'd recommend the Curt Class I hitch, part # C11496. If you click the provided link, you can see an install video showing the hitch being installed on a 2015 Accord.
The trailer hitch isn't recessed very far under the vehicle, so you'll have no worries regarding clearance between the bike rack and vehicle. The Swagman XTC-2, part # S64670 would be an outstanding choice that's very popular with Accord owners and is highly rated by our customers. The rack includes an anti rattle hitch pin, but a locking hitch pin/cable lock is available separately as part # S64031.
