Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 4 Bike Rack on a 2012 Honda Odyssey
Question:
I have a Softride Dura Parallelogram Tilting 4 Bike Rack for 1-1/4inch and 2inch Hitches. Which hitch do I need to purchase for my 2012 Honda Odyssey?

Expert Reply:
For a 4 bike rack on your 2012 Honda Odyssey I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75270. It is a 2-inch hitch with a GTW of 4,500 lbs and a tongue weight of 675 lbs and requires no welding to install. I recommend a 2-inch hitch over a 1-1/4-inch hitch in the event you decide to tow a trailer. I have included links to the installation instructions and a video showing the installation of this hitch on your vehicle. Be sure to check your owners manual to verify your vehicle's towing capacities before loading any accessories or towing.
