Hitch for 2005 Honda Accord to use With Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack
Question:
I have a 2005 Honda Accord 2 door coupe. I also have a Yakima Hold Up 2 with a 2 inch tongue. I would like to install a hitch on the Honda and use the Replacement 1-1/4 inch Tongue for Yakima Hold Up Bike Racks 8880581. Can you recommend a hitch for the Honda. I want to be able to switch from the 2 inch to the 1.25 inch Tongue depending if I'm driving the Honda or my Truck with a 2 inch receiver.

Expert Reply:
The 1-1/4" hitch I recommend for your 2005 Honda Accord coupe is the Draw-Tite # 24787. This hitch won't require any drilling to install unlike the comparable Curt hitches, and the Draw-Tite does not require the use of stabilization straps when using a bike rack like the Curt does.
You would then be able use the 1-1/4" Tongue for Yakima HoldUp Bike Racks # 8880581 with your Yakima HoldUp # Y02443.
