Can the Back Hatch of a 2018 Honda CR-V Be Opened with the Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack Installed
Question:
Will I be able to open the trunk/hatch with the bike rack attached to the suv without the bicycles?
asked by: Rosemary
Expert Reply:
No, you will not be able to open the hatch on your 2018 Honda CR-V with the Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack # Y02638 attached, even with the bikes unloaded. We do not have a 3 bike trunk rack that fits your 2018 Honda CR-V and would allow you to open your hatch with the rack installed.
If you are needing a rack that allows you to open your hatch, you would want to look at a hitch mounted rack like the Thule Helium Pro 3 Bike Rack # TH9043PRO which features a tilting design that allows you to access your back hatch.
If your 2018 Honda CR-V does not already have a hitch, you can use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848 which is confirmed to fit your CR-V.
