Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Scrape the Ground when Going Up Inclines with 2006 Honda Odyssey

Question:

My new driveway is inclined such that my Curt trailer hitch for 2006 Honda odyssey scrapes as well as my Kuat bike rack. Which roller would you recommend?

Helpful Expert Reply:

Roller # RM-050 is a good option for a Class III trailer hitch on your 2006 Honda Odyssey. It does hang down lower than the hitch receiver so it will actually make contact with the ground sooner than if the roller were not on it.

This roller will not help with the Kuat bike rack though. What might work better is to use # D210 and put the bike rack in the upper receiver. This will raise it up higher and keep it from scraping on the ground, even if the hitch does scrape.
