Is a Hitch Needed to Carry Bikes on a 2023 Honda CR-V
Updated 05/03/2023 | Published 05/02/2023
Question:
Do I need a trailer hitch to put a bike rack on to my 2023 Honda CRV? If not, which non-trailer hitch bike rack do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
I do have options for you but we don't currently have any trunk mount bike rack fits for a 2023 Honda CR-V. Therefore, you can either carry the bike(s) on the roof or a hitch. I highly recommend a hitch as it will be more cost effective, easier to use, and overall more versatile. For the hitch, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98848 which features a simple bolt-on install. Then for the rack, I recommend the Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack part # TH934XTR which carriers up to four bikes.
