For 3 to 4 bikes you'll definitely want to go with a hitch mounted bike rack as they are the most secure and easiest to load. So let's start with a hitch. For that the best option is the etrailer # e98840 for your 2016 Honda Pilot as it has plenty of weight capacity for the bike rack and also only has the hitch opening below the rear bumper which helps make it less visible and gives better ground clearance.
Now for a bike rack I prefer the platform bike racks as they are easier to load and more stable. Especially when you end up loading more than a few like in your situation. For that the Swagman XTC part # S64665 is a really great option. It's very stable and easy to load like I already mentioned and also is angled up for better ground clearance as well.
