Hitch Mounted 4-Bike Carrier Recommendation for a 2013 Honda Odyssey

Question:

Will it completely fold up while attached to a 2013 Honda odyssey. The 2inch hitch is somewhat retracted underneath?

I have a solution for you, however, the Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack, # S64665, will most likely hit your bumper when folded up on your 2013 Honda Odyssey.

The bike rack I recommend for you is the Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting # SA4414B. This bike rack measures 10 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the bike rack when folded up. To verify that this will work on your Odyssey, I recommend measuring from the center of the hitch pin hole on your trailer hitch to the rear-most part of your rear bumper (see photo). I have attached a video review of this bike rack for you to check out.

When we installed trailer hitches on a 2013 Honda Odyssey, we found that the distance from the hitch pin hole to the bumper was around 6-1/2 inches, so this bike rack should work great for you.
