Recommended Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2015 Honda Crosstour
Question:
Do you have a platform bike rack that will work on a 2015 Honda Crosstour?

We certainly do. You'll want to begin by installing a hitch, such as the Curt Class I, part # C11002. You can see the installation instructions by clicking the provided link.
Once the hitch is in place, you can install a platform-style bike rack. Of the available choices, I'd recommend the Swagman XTC2, part # S64670. Ratcheting padded hooks hold the bikes firmly in place without any danger of them swinging back and forth, like what can happen with some hanging-type bike racks. There are other platform racks that are less expensive, but those racks will usually use a flimsy non-ratcheting hook that will frequently come loose or weak wheel hoops.
The rack includes an anti-rattle hitch pin, but a locking hitch pin/cable lock combo is available as part # S64031. You will also need the stabilizer strap # 18050. I've linked you to a product demonstration video featuring the bike rack I've recommended.
