It sure is Steve and congrats on your new SUV! The Blue Ox Hitch item # BLU32QV does indeed fit your new 2027 Honda Pilot. It is definitely compatible with a vertical bike rack as well.
The Blue Ox Hitch item # BLU32QV is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 6,000 lbs towing capacity and a maximum tongue weight of 600 lbs so it'll have plenty of capacity for your bike rack. I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts completely behind the rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver visible. This not only looks better but also helps with ground clearance, which is extremely important with the low hanging vertical racks.
I attached a picture below along with the installation instructions so you can see what this hitch looks like installed and how to get it set up.
What model vertical bike rack do you have?
