For your application you'll need to use a roof-mount bike rack. If you have the factory crossbar system on your 2015 Honda Pilot then you can use a bike rack like the Thule ProRide XT # TH598004 directly on those crossbars.
If you don't have the factory crossbars then you can either choose a roof rack from the linked selection (based on roof style) and still use the ProRide XT, or you can use a SeaSucker which mounts directly to your roof via powerful vacuum cups. We have the 1-bike Talon # 298-BT1004, the 2-bike Mini Bomber # 298-BM2006, and the 3-bike Bomber # 298-BB3008 for you to choose from. You will need to remove the front tire when using a SeaSucker so you can either toss them inside your Pilot or you can use part # 298-BA1580 or # 298-BV1022 to carry it on your roof.
