Bike Rack Option for 2019 Honda CR-V
Updated 02/09/2021 | Published 02/08/2021
Question:
hi, I am 64 years old, 5'4", female, and I own a 2019 CRV. I am not that strong, but would like to place my bike in the back of my car. Which bike rack is light weight, easy to put on, and low enough for my height. Thank you in advance for your time to answer my request.

Any bike rack will require some degree of lifting to seat the bike within the carrier. A hitch mounted platform type rack is definitely the right choice when being concerned about lifting height; especially if you already have a hitch installed on your 2019 Honda Cr-v. This style will require lifting the bike to less height. I suggest the hule Helium Platform XT Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount Item # TH53GC. At 43 lbs this carrier is itself a little lighter than many others and is designed to fit with either a 1-1/4" or 2" spec hitch. The great thing about it, it is so super easy to secure your bikes. It holds the wheels by the tires. It will fold up so that you could leave it on your vehicle if you use it often. It also tilts away either loaded with bikes, or unloaded so you can still get into the back of your vehicle. Check out the video to see if it might work for you.
The Draw-Tite # 36597 trailer hitch receiver is the model I recommend if you do not already have a receiver hitch installed. This is a custom fit Class II hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver and currently has a 4.9 star rating. We have a video available of this product being installed on your same make/model of Honda, I have attached a link for you.
