Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Honda HR-V for Bike Rack
Question:
Is there a class II trailer hitch for the 2016 Honda HR-V? We already own a 4 bike hitch mounted rack and from what Ive read, you are not supposed to put 4 bikes on a Class I hitch. If there are not any at the moment, do you know if they might be available in the future?

For your 2017 Honda HR-V we have the EcoHitch 2" receiver hitch # 306-X7322 that you can use with your 4-bike rack as long as you stay under the 300-pound tongue limit when you add the weight of the bike rack and the weight of the bikes. This should not be a problem. Check out the review and installation video I attached for more info.
The other hitch available for your HR-V, the Curt # C11416, is a class I with a 1-1/4" opening. It would only allow you to carry 2 bikes even if the carrier held more.
