Recommended Hitch w/ the Best Ground Clearance for a 2022 Honda Pilot
Question:
What hitch do you recommend for a 2022 Honda Pilot that has the best ground clearance for a Hollywood bike rack?

Expert Reply:
The best hitch for ground clearance is going to be the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13146. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your 2022 Honda Pilot with included hardware.
When installed on your Pilot the top of the hitch opening to the ground measures 14". From the bottom of the hitch will be right at 12".
I have linked an installation video below.
All of the available trailer hitches for the 2022 Honda Pilot will work with spare wheels up to 18" in diameter but not the 20" spare. If you have a 20" spare wheel then you will need to go to your local Honda dealer and pick up an 18" spare wheel and tire.
If you ever plan on towing with this hitch you will need a wiring harness item # 118760 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
