The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13146 will allow access to the spare tire on your 2018 Honda Pilot, but only if you have an 18" or smaller spare tire. When you do measure, make sure you are measuring just the wheel, not the tire. If you spare is over 18" you will have to store it in the rear hatch area or a roof rack may be an option.

If you are looking for a bike rack for your 2018 Honda Pilot I recommend the Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway # TH934XTR. I recommend this bike rack for 2 reasons: it tilts away from your vehicle, allowing access to the rear hatch are; and it holds your bikes to the rack at 3 points, this will prevent swaying and bike to bike contact.
