Best Trailer Hitch to Carry Bike Rack on 2020 Honda Pilot
Question:
Hello. Needing a hitch for my new 2020 Pilot. Really just planning on using it for my bike rack so is there a model that works best for this application, or what would be your recommendation? Thanks!

The best trailer hitch for use with a bike rack on your 2020 Honda Pilot is the etrailer.com Class III # e98840, as it provides a slightly better ground clearance dimension than the alternatives so you don't have to worry about the rack hitting the ground as you dip down driveways or over speed bumps.
The hitch features a sleek hidden crosstube design where only the 2" receiver is visible and I just really like the unique matte black finish on this model that creates a rugged look and is less prone to scratching. The hitch-pin hole is easily accessible under the bumper to allow for quick mounting when attaching the rack. I have attached a couple images of the hitch installed so you can see all of this for yourself.
I have also included a full installation video below that you can use for reference.
Lastly, it sounds like you might already have a bike rack but I went ahead and attached a link that will take you to our full selection of hitch-mounted carriers that you can look through as well.
