Fit of Thule Apex TH9025XT Bike Rack with Curt Class III C13146 Hitch on 2020 Honda Pilot

Question:

Hello- I have a 2020 Honda Pilot EX-L. Im looking at a C13146 CURT Class 3 Trailer Hitch and the Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack for 1-1/4inch and 2inch Hitches - Tilting. The Thule specs warn that hitches where the pin hole is too close to the face of the hitch wont work with the bike rack. Can you confirm that this combination of hitch and rack will work? The Thule product page on your site says The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the face of the hitch must be 1-1/2inch or greater to use this rack. Thanks!

The warning you see is kind of a blanket statement referring to some OEM hitches on smaller vehicles. An aftermarket hitch like the Curt # C13146 would work perfectly. The Thule Apex, part # TH9025XT will work perfectly with that hitch on your Pilot.

I've linked you to an installation video for the hitch, as well as to a product demonstration video for the bike rack.
