    Does anyone have experience with hitch mounted bike racks on a 2003 CRV?
    I'd like to have a hitch installed solely to use for a bike rack.
    I'd like to carry 4 bikes back there for short trips of 5 or 15 miles.
    I realize tongue weight may be a factor. My manual doesn't mention tongue
    weight directly. It implies 150 pounds. The bikes and the rack would weigh
    less than that. Also the additional passenger load would still be below
    Honda's recommendation.
    Any brands better than others?
    Thanks, Joe

    4 X 30lbs=120lbs. That's kind of close with the rack. Unless you have
    some really nice bikes. There might be some wind load on the bikes.

    We have a hitch mounted bike rack on a 2000 CRV. At the time, we could only
    find a 2 bike rack for a 1 1/4 inch square receiver, but I think there are 4
    bike racks available now.
