Hitch summary? - Honda Pilot

iglesias · 10-11-2008, 04:14 PM

Some time back someone did a summary of non-Honda hitches for the Pilot, and I'm having trouble finding it. The search function doesn't see to be returning anything earlier than this year. It was a good summary of available hitches, and whether they worked with a full-size spare or not.

I'm going to use the hitch to put a bike rack on my 2005 Pilot. I've checked local dealers and they want over $300 for the OEM hitch (no coolers, just the hitch), which is way too much. I'm looking for a hitch that will work with a full-size spare.

I just purchased some mountain bikes as well and looking for a way to transport.

so far in my research, I've found that:

will fit a full sized spare and is hidden. Just haven't found the bike rack to go with it. Looking for something that has a locking feature as we plan to travel with the bikes as well.

Good luck with your search.
