Thank you for the information!

It looks like you have the Class I Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24972 installed on your 2018 Honda Accord. The RockyMounts MonoRail Solo Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # RKY10007-05 will technically fit the 1-1/4" receiver opening but RockyMounts states to only use their rack in Class II 1-1/4" receivers which are a little stronger so for your application we'll need to look at an alternative solution.

I recommend checking out the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # KU74FR instead. This is also a wheel mount platform rack but this has a unique U-Shaped frame that makes it easier to load and unload your bikes. This rack can handle up to 40 lb bikes with a max tire width of 3" and a max wheelbase of 50". As long as your bikes fall within these specs you'll be good to go!

Attached are review videos of both racks for you to compare and contrast as well.
