Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver And 4 Bike Rack For 2012 Honda Odyssey
Question:
Hi! We will be purchasing a trailer hitch for our 2012 Honda Odyssey. We are also looking for a Bike Rack for the hitch that would carry a Yuba Mundo weighing 60lbs, a Womens MB, Girls Bike 24 and a Bmx bike. Please advise what would be best Thank You!

Since you are wanting to carry 4 bikes with your 2012 Honda Odyssey you will want to make sure that you choose a 2" trailer hitch receiver like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98862 as it will give you the most options when it comes to bike racks for carrying 4 bikes.
For a bike rack I recommend the Saris Freedom 4 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # SA4414B which will allow you to carry 4 bikes with the inner two bikes weighing up to 60lbs each, and the outer two weighing up to 35lbs each. This bike rack will allow you to tilt the carrier down to allow access to the rear cargo area.
Since the cradles on the # SA4414B are adjustable independently it will be able to work with multiple different frame styles without needing an adapter.
I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
