We have what you need!

For a great premium option for your 2021 Honda Pilot, the best 4-bike rack we carry is the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches # NV22G-NA22G (gunmetal gray), # BA22B-BA02B (matte black), or # NV22B-NA22B (metallic black). Not only does it come with a wheel-mount design which does not require you to use a bike frame adapter bar if you have women's bike or step-thru frames on your bikes, it also comes with an amazing tilting feature that allows you to access the trunk with the bikes loaded. The tilting mechanism comes with a foot pedal for easy functionality. It fits bikes with a max wheelbase of 50 inches long and fits tire diameters between 25" - 29". You can purchase the children's bike adapter # 016-025-00-00 if you happen to have bikes with tires 20-24 inches in diameter. If you have fat bike tires between 3 and 5 inches wide, you need the fat tire straps # APBK. Since the closest part of the rack measures 7" from the center of the pinhole to the rack, I recommend measuring the center of your hitch's pinhole to the outside face of your rear bumper to make sure you have enough bumper clearance length.

For a more economical setup, I recommend the Swagman Trailhead 4 - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # S63380. This hanging-style rack attaches at the bikes' frames which are great if you have fat-tire bikes or bikes with fenders. It also includes a 100 pound total weight capacity and a 35-pound per bike weight capacity. With the Trailhead, if you happen to have women's bikes, children's bikes, or bikes with step-thru frames, I recommend using a bike frame adapter bar # 64005 for each of those bike styles. The adapter provides your bikes a straight, horizontal plane required to attach your bikes to the arms of the rack.
