How to Carry More Cargo With 2015 Honda Odyssey Carrying a Bike Rack

Question:

I wanted to confirm whether or not I could hook my 2 inch hitch bike rack onto the back of this cargo carrier. I have the yakima full swing bike rack and Id want to hook it onto the back of part # 63153. I have a 2015 Honda Odyssey. Thank you!

While there is a way for you to carry more cargo on your 2015 Honda Odyssey, the Reese Cargo Carrier # 63153 you referenced does not double as a hitch receiver, so it would not be able to carry your Yakima FullSwing 4-Bike Rack # Y02465.

Since the FullSwing cannot be used in any type of adapter, there are two different ways you can carry more cargo with your 2015 Honda Odyssey - a roof rack or with a simple cargo bag, which will attach to the side rails of your Odyssey.

I highly recommend the Rightline Gear Sport 2 Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S20 because it provides a large amount of room - 15 cubic feet - to carry cargo, is easy to install, and has an aerodynamic shape, which means your ride is going to be less noisy than with other cargo bags that are square.

I have added a link to a video review of the Gear Sport 2 bag for you to check out as well.
