Trailer Hitch for a 2018 Honda Accord for a Bike Rack

Question

Question:

Have a good bike rack, 1.25 hitch required, that Ill use to carry two mountain bikes on my 2018 Accord EX. Its a quick release rack, so the hitch will be exposed during the weeks commute. Ill likely use the hitch for the bike rack only.

If the bike rack that you have is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch then for your 2018 Honda Accord I recommend Curt hitch # C11525. Since your bike rack is for a 1-1/4 inch hitch, you would be all set. Along with the Curt hitch, you will also need to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) per Curt's warranty requirements.

I have hitches for both your Honda Accords but not one that will fit both. There was a major redesign beginning with the 2018 model year and the hitches for one are not compatible with the other. For your 2019 Honda Accord you will want the Draw-Tite…

We do not have a hitch that will fit for your 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid. Instead, you can carry bikes on a trunk mounted rack or cargo on a roof rack. Both are available for your Honda Accord.

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…
