For a great trunk bike rack that fits your 2022 Honda CR-V with a rear spoiler, I recommend the Saris Bones EX 2 Bike Rack - Adjustable Arms - Trunk Mount # SAR83FR. The arched base of the Bones EX 2 fit over most sedan, hatchback, and SUV spoilers.

If you are planning to use women's bikes, children's bikes, or step-thru bikes, I recommend using the Saris Bike Beam # SA3040 to make sure they attach to the arms of the rack. Also, to add theft-deterrence measures, you can use the 8' Cable Lock and Lock Loop for Saris Trunk Mounted Bike Racks # SAR52FR. The cable lock secures your bikes to the vehicle.

I went ahead and attached a video that shows what the EX 2 looks like on the back of a 2014 model to give you perspective. It is important to disable the use of your rear windshield wipers when using any trunk-mounted bike rack on your CR-V.

Hey Chris, thanks for reaching out. Putting a higher rated Class III hitch on the CR-V does not raise the vehicle’s actual tongue weight limit. The hitch itself may be built to handle a lot more, but the real limit is still whatever Honda says the…
