Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13146 will fit your 2020 Honda Pilot EX-L. I have attached a sample installation video and some pictures of the Curt trailer hitch installed on a 2019 Honda Pilot AWD that you can use for a reference.

If you don't already have a bike rack, one of the most popular bike racks that we carry is the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR because it is a cost-effective 4-bike rack that is compatible with both 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers. Keep in mind that if you go this route and you have any bikes without a horizontal top tube then you'll need to use an adapter bar like part # TH982XT to help keep the bike(s) level and increase ground clearance. Attached is a review video of this on a '19 Pilot that you can check out.

Just recently purchased a 2020 Honda Pilot AWD 8-passenger touring edition with 20 wheels. Have been told that most trailer hitch manufacturers applications will not fit the Pilot with a 20 spare tire. Also looked at the Honda factory hitch requires notching out the rear splash panel. Please let me know if any of your hitch applications will fit my Pilot with 20 wheels

All of the aftermarket hitches for your Pilot will only fit with spares that are 18" or smaller. Installing a hitch would require you to leave your spare behind or mount it elsewhere, such as with a roof rack and basket.
