Question:

What receiver do you recommend for carrying a 4 bike rack on my 2023 Honda Odyssey?

Expert Reply:

I recommend using the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT76GR on your 2023 Honda Odyssey. This allows you to remove the tube portion of the receiver when you are not carrying a bike rack. Since your Odyssey doesn't have a lot of ground clearance this will help prevent the receiver from getting hung up or hitting on curbs.

For a bike rack I recommend the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack # Y85AR. This rack raises the height of the bikes as they move from the back of your Odyssey. This improves ground clearance when going over hills and on angled driveways. The wheel mounts arms are designed to fit bikes with a 16"-29" wheel.

You will need to use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118781 to add a 4-way connector on your Odyssey. This will allow you to use the License Plate and Tail Light Kit for Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack # Y59VR to ensure other drivers will be able to see your tail lights.
