Class III Hitch Recommendation and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Honda CRV Carrying 4 Bikes

Question:

I need a hitch for Honda crv, not for towing only as bike mount up to 4 bikes, would the Class I be enough or would I need Class II ? can you recommend any of your products? Thanks

Expert Reply:

For carrying 4 bikes you will need to use at least a Class II hitch. Since there are only Class I and Class III hitches available for your 2008 Honda CR-V I would recommend you get a Class III hitch like the Draw Tite Hitch # 75547. This hitch will allow you to have greater flexibility for picking future hitch accessories like cargo carriers due to the larger amount of products made to work on 2 inch hitches. I attached installation instructions and an installation video for this product for you to check out.

For a 4 bike rack I would recommend you get a Swagman Titan 4 Bike Carrier # S63410. This is a great rack with anti-sway cradles, a tilting feature to give you access to the rear of your vehicle and has an integrated cable lock. Check out the review video and installation instructions I attached for this product.
