Question:
What is the best hitch for a 2012 Honda Accord EX-L V6, 4 door sedan to carry a Sherpa 2 bike rack? I would prefer not to cut anything on the car. Thank you.

Expert Reply:
The hitches we have available for your 2012 Honda Accord EX-L Sedan will all involve trimming of the heat shield and underbody panel. The instructions for the Curt # C11085 do explain what will need to be done in detail and I included an install video that will also show what needs to be done. With that being said, the # C11085 will be my recommendation as this is an American made hitch and will handle your Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack, like the # SH12G, without any issue at all.
