Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2008 Honda Civic Sedan
Question:
Hello, I am trying to get a trailer hitch to attach to my 2008 Honda civic sedan and I want to be sure I get the right one. The car is not a Si or hybrid or coupe, just the standard sedan. I was looking at the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11391. Do you think this model would work? Thanks!

Great news! The Class I Curt # C11391 trailer hitch would be a great fit for your 2008 Honda Civic Sedan. I have linked an installation video of this hitch being installed for you to check out.
With a Class I hitch you will be limited to 1-1/4" Class I rated bike racks like # TH9058, because this hitch can only support 150lbs of tongue weight. The Camber is a great bike rack for your Civic, because it is very light weight. You will also only be able to carry up to 2 bikes due to leverage, so keep that in mind, you can place a 4 bike rack on your vehicle but only 2 bikes total. A popular platform style bike rack for your Class I hitch is the Swagman # S64670.
If you plan on transporting any alternative framed bikes, like many women's bikes are, you will need to use an adapter bar like # UB01 to mount them properly to the rack.
I have linked the above-mentioned products to this page for your convenience.
