Recommendation of Hitch & Platform Bike Rack for 2021 Honda CR-V Hybrid
Question:
We recently bought a 2021 CRV Hybrid, and wanting a 2inch Class 2 hitch added to it for a 4-bike rack. Assuming the 4 bikes will all fit on the hitch. Weve got 2 adult bikes and 2 kids bikes. Ive seen some platform racks I like. Can you give a recommendation? Im considering: Hollywood Racks Destination Swagman XTC4 Swagman Quad 2+2 Yakima FourTimer Saris Freedom Yakima HoldUp

I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver, # e98848. This is a custom fit Class III, with a 2"x2" receiver opening that is rated at a full 525 lbs. tongue weight and protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This is a bolt-on installation, no welding required, and the complete hardware kit and installation instructions are included. Install time is estimated to be only an hour with no drilling required. We do have a product review and installation video created, I've attached the link for you.
For the bike rack recommendation, based on your stated requirements I suggest the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack, # HR4000. This is an an inexpensive, yet high-quality rack that is lightweight and easy-to-use. It is the platform type that you stated is preferred, fits up to four bikes at 35 lbs per bike and is itself only about 45 lbs. The curved wheel trays with adjustable wheel straps let you carry bikes with different wheelbases so that will be helpful in carrying both adult and child size bikes.
