Recommended Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for a 2019 Honda Civic

Question:

I just got a 2019 Honda Civic and we need a way to carry our bikes. I am thinking a hitch rack so we don't have to lift them as much. Suggestions?

The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2019 Honda Civic is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C92UR which fits all models; coupe, sedan, and hatchback. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver is a custom bolt-on fit that does not require any drilling or welding for installation. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver installs almost completely behind the rear bumper so only the receiver tube will be present. Therefore, you will be able to retain a factory-like appearance as well as all of your crumple points in the event of an accident.

The bike rack I recommend for a 2019 Honda Civic is the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack part # KU74FR. The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack is my favorite option because it has wheel mounts so it will accommodate bike with deep drop tubes, an open design so it's easier to load your bikes onto as you can walk them into the cradles, and it is lightweight at only 47 lbs so it's easy to take on and off the vehicle.
