Compatibility of Draw-Tite 76025 and Saris SuperClamp EX-4 Bike Rack on 2013 Honda Odyssey

Question

Question:

Based on a video on your site, I recently purchased a Draw Tite 2 hitch 76025 for my 2013 Honda Odyssey, with the intention of using it for a bike rack. We are looking at the Saris SuperClamp EX-4 to hold 4 bikes, including kids bikes also considering the Yakima RidgeBack for 4 but realize this requires the extra parts to hold the non-standard bikes. On other videos, it suggests that for a Saris SuperClamp EX-4, and a Honda Odyssey, the Draw-Tite 75270 is recommended for the appropriate clearance. Will the 76025 still work with the Saris SuperClamp? Thank you in advance!

The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76025 has a 5 inch recess from the outside bumper to the center of the hitch pin hole. The Saris SuperClamp EX 4 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Tilting # SA4026F will fit with that hitch it simply won't have much clearance when folded close to the vehicle for storage when not being used. It will fit and work fine.

Class I and Class II hitches both have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The difference is that a Class I hitch has a lower tongue weight rating, usually 200 pounds and a lower towing rating, usually 2,000 pounds. A Class II hitch usually has a tongue…

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…

I do have an option for you but I cannot advise you combine two hitch adapters together like the Roadmaster Hitch Extender part #RM-071 and the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter part #RM-077-4 as this would be very unsafe. However, if you need…

Yakima does not recommend backing their Rack and Roll trailers like the #Y08107 you mentioned into water as the bearings aren't sealed and neither are the electrical connections. Your best option would be to back it right up to the waters edge…
