Will the Thule Raceway Trunk Mount Bike Carrier Fit on a 2004 Honda Pilot

Expert Reply:

You will be able to carry bikes on your 2004 Honda Pilot, however, a trunk mounted bike rack will not fit on your vehicle because it cannot be safely secured. Instead, I would recommend using a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike rack. A hitch mounted bike rack will give you access to the back of your vehicle without having to remove the rack and does not come in contact with your vehicle.

Our most popular trailer hitch for your vehicle is the Curt Class III Hitch, # 13328. I have attached installation instructions and a video of our technician installing this hitch on a 2004 Honda Pilot for you to check out.

We have a wide range of hitch mounted bike racks that will fit on your vehicle with a trailer hitch and I have provided a link to all of our hitch mounted bike racks for you to check out. Our most popular bike rack among our Honda customers, and a rack that I would recommend, is the Thule HitchingPost 4 Bike Rack, # TH934XTR. I have attached a video of this bike rack for you to check out as well.

If you plan on carrying any womens or childrens bikes, then I would recommend using the Thule Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT, to carry the bikes safely.

Another advantage of adding a trailer hitch to your vehicle is having the ability to tow a trailer if the situation arose. I have listed a few more items below that will complete your towing set up.
