Solution for Carrying 4 Bikes with 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid Sedan
Question:
Subject says it all. I need a rack that fits on a hitch that will hold a rack for 4 bikes. Is this even possible as the racks for 4 bikes talk about a 2inch hitch and the ones recommended for my vehicle mention 1 1/4. Thanks in advance...

Expert Reply:
For your 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid sedan we only have Class I hitches available which are limited to carrying only 2 bikes due to the weight and leverage additional bikes. This is due to the lighter duty nature of your Accord. If carrying 4 bikes is the goal your best option is a hitch like the Curt Hitch item # C11496 with a 2 bike carrier like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z and then going with a roof rack to carry the other 2 bikes.
For a roof rack the Inno Square bar rack part numbers # INB137, # INSUT, and # INK592 is a really great choice. It's not crazy expensive yet is a higher quality rack that also comes with locks. Then for a bike rack the Thule ProRide XT # TH598004 will fit this rack well and also allow you to keep the front wheel installed on the bike.
