Question:

Good day to you. I am in the market for a trunk bike rack for my 2018 Honda Pilot. Can you by chance make a recommendation please? Thank you very much.

Good day to you as well!

For your 2018 Honda Pilot I really like the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2. This carrier is specifically designed to work great on vehicles like your Pilot that feature a rear hatch opening. Its high-rise frame and multiple strap mounting options allow it to fit comfortably without risking any damage to the vehicle. It can support two bikes up to 35 pounds each.

I have attached a video demonstration of this rack being used on a 2016 Honda Pilot so you can see exactly how it will mount and look on your vehicle.

If you plan on transporting any children's, women's, or alternative frame bikes you might also need an adapter bar like the Kuat # UB01. This will provide a horizontal attachment point for level transport and improved ground clearance. I have attached a short video demonstration so you can see how it is used and why it might be needed.
