Question:
What is your recommendation re bike rack for a 2010 Honda CrossTour? Cannot put a trailer hitch on CrossTour Going to drive to East Coast and back - total of 3800 miles. 2 std frame male Jamis $3,000 bikes 20 lbs each

Expert Reply:
We have hitches that are designed to fit your 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour. Hitch mounted bike racks are the way to go, especially for transporting expensive bikes for a long period of time.
For a hitch you would want the Curt Hitch part # C11002 as this has been confirmed to fit your vehicle. For a top-of-the-line bike rack to use with this hitch I would recommend the Thule T2 Bike Rack part # TH9045. This rack is compatible with the hitch I referenced, can lock to your hitch and lock your bikes to the rack, and also only touches the wheels of your bikes. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
For a trunk-mount, I would recommend the OutWay Platform Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Adjustable Trays
Item # TH65JV made by Thule.
