trailor hitch and bike attachment OEM

[tripleheetheet]

hi

just wanted some advice if i should go with OEM ? If so if anyone knows anywhere good online to buy?

or are there any good aftermarket ones?

do you need the transmission cooler and power steering attachment? i just want to install a hitch to install the bike attachment.

any experience on buying and installing, please comment, i have an 2008 honda pilot vp

if i recall correctly, there is a youtube video that shows you how to install hitch on previous model pilot. it was an aftermarket hitch like reese. didn't look very difficult and i believe you can buy reese hitches at quite a few stores at very good prices. they are always on sale somewhere.

forgot to mention, you don't need transmission cooler attachment if you are only installing bike attachment. that is needed for the stress on tansmission when pulling weight of trailer or boat. as far as bike attachement, i think they would work great if your top tube on your bike is horizontal. my boys have mountain bikes and the top tubes are diagonal and they are not even the same diameter from the handlebar to the seat when securing the top clamps. i don't think they're that great in my case.
