Question:

Hi, I want to install a hitch for bike rack purposes only on my 2011 Honda Crosstour. My question is do they make one with a 2 inch receptacle or do I install an 1.25 and add an adapter? Thanks,

For your 2011 Honda Accord Crosstour you would have to use a 1-1/4 inch hitch like the Curt Hitch part # C11002. 2 inch hitches are designed for larger vehicles like SUVs trucks and vans.

For a bike rack you would have to go with one that is confirmed to fit a Class I hitch, using an adapter would be a great idea since they cut the capacity of the hitch they are used on in half.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
