Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Motorcycle Carrier for 2012 Honda Odyssey
Question:
I have a 2012 Honda Odyssey EX and would like to transport a dirt bike weight approx. 320lbs. Can you please recommend the correct hitch and carrier for this purpose. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
For your 2012 Honda Odyssey EX, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75270. This hitch is rated for up to 675 lbs tongue weight. You will also need a product like part # PC3, part # e98880, or part # 63232 to secure the accessory in your 2" trailer hitch receiver, and then the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier # UF48-979033.
I also recommend the Erickson Ratchet Tie-Down Straps w/ Web Clamps and S-Hooks - 1-1/4" x 12' - 667 lbs - Qty 2 # EM31353 to secure your dirt bike to the carrier.
I also recommend checking your owners manual for any restrictions on tongue weight for your vehicle.
