Recommended Least Visible Hitch That will Fit A 2022 Honda Pilot With Full Size Spare Tire
Question:
Hello. I just got an ebike so I can start working out for my new years resolution. I've got my eye on the Yakima OnRamp since this can work with the step through frames. Anyway, I need to get a hitch for my 2022 Honda Pilot so I can carry the rack. I won't have the rack on my car all the time so I would like to have a hitch that will be hidden when not using it. I also have a full size spare tire and I was seeing this can be an issue and I got confused, What do you recommend I go with?

Expert Reply:
I will start by saying that the Yakima OnRamp is a great rack for e-bikes as it can carry bikes up to 66 pounds and will have absolutely no issues with step-through style frames. As the hitches for your 2022 Honda Pilot will all be Class III hitches with 2" receiver openings, I do recommend going with the # Y36FR version of OnRamp as this has the 2" shank.
As to the hitch, I recommend the etrailer.com # e98840. This will fit models with an 18" or smaller spare tire under vehicle, but if you have the larger 20" spare tire, it will not be able to be stored under the vehicle. Once installed though, only the receiver tube will be visible and the matte black finish makes it much less obvious as well. This will have no problems carrying the Yakima # Y36FR bike rack as well.
