The Yakima FullSwing bike carrier # Y02465 should fit nicely on your 2012 Honda Pilot. To make sure there is clearance you will want to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on the trailer hitch out to the distance needed to clear the rear bumper. If this distance is less than 6-1/2 inches the FullSwing will fit. I have linked a video review of this carrier for you.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my son's bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
