Question:

I have a 2019 Honda HR-V AWD and a Swagman XC-2 bike rack. 1 If I install a Curt Hitch Part # C11416 on the HR-V, will the bike rack clear the bumper? 2 If I install an ecoHitch Part # 306-X7322 on the HR-V, will the bike rack clear the bumper?

Expert Reply:

The Swagman # S64650 (XC-2) will entirely clear the back of your HR-V when mounted on the Curt # C11416, or the ecoHitch # 306-X7322, hitches. If I were choosing between these two hitches I would prefer the ecoHitch # 306-X7322 as it is better hidden under your vehicle and more importantly has a 2" reciever which gives you many more options of accessories. It also has a higher tongue weight capacity of 300 lbs.

I have attached installation videos for both hitches and a photo of the Swagman on a HR-V.
