The hitch pin holes are located on the passenger side of the vehicle for this particular rack. We can then take the included threaded anti-rattle hitch bolt and thread that into place.

Saris Freedom Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2007 Honda Pilot- Video
Today, on our 2007 Honda Pilot, we're going to be test fitting the Saris Freedom 4 Bike platform style rack for 2 inch hitches, part number SA4414B. We'll begin our test fit by inserting the shank of the rack into the hitch on our vehicle. With that in, you'll want to watch for the hitch pin holes to line up. We'll then take the included anti-rattle hitch bolt and thread that into place. We'll get this as tight as we can by hand, and then we'll finish it off with our wrench. Tightening this down helps to take any extra play out of the shank of the rack, which helps eliminate movement overall, going down the road. As you can see, we're nice and snug, so we'll insert the clip on the other side. With our rack in this position, the closest point of contact is going to be here With this mast to the bumper, that's going to measure about six and 3 quarter inches from the rear of the vehicle. Our ground clearance is going to be about 16 inches at the bottom of the shank, and overall to the rear of the vehicle, we've added about 17 inches. We'll go ahead and tilt our rack down. We'll pull the lever here on top so we can tilt it down into the loading position. As you can see, we can easily open our rear hatch to load any extra cargo you might be taking along. We'll pull the yellow T-handle here, and we can rotate the mast into position. It'll lock there, so we'll go ahead and undo our wheel straps. more
