Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2006 Honda Pilot  

Question:

I recently had a 2.0inch trailer hitch installed on my 2006 Honda Pilot at a local dealer in Jersey City. Will I have to purchase special brands of bike racks or should I be able to work with just about any brand on the market?

Expert Reply:

Trailer hitches, no matter where they are installed or what brand they are, are standard sizes so you will be able to use any bike rack that fits a 2 inch trailer and clears the back of your 2006 Honda Pilot.

I recommend the Hitching Post Pro, # TH934XTR which has great features including anti-sway cradles to keep the bikes from hitting each other and the ability to fit both 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch trailer hitches. I have included links to video reviews of the bike rack for you.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my son's bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
