Will this work with an '04 Honda Odyssey? What else do I need to purchase? I'm not familiar with bike hitches at all?

You want to make sure your car is equipped with towing hitch that fits the bike carrier

Rev. Mike - My bike rack (a three bike model) is mounted to a Pro Series trailer hitch for the RAV4. See http://www.proseriestowing.com/content/products.aspx?lvl=3&parentid;=1000&catID;=1035∂=51157. The distance from the pin securing the bike rack to the Upright bar is 12 3/4". The upright bar clearance to the tire cover is 3 1/2". It all works well and is a great bike rack. Jack L.

Go to the Sarris website and they will tell you if it will work or not or what bike rack you should get instead.

Good afternoon, We are not able to tell if this will fit with another brand of hitches. There is a possibility it will but we can't be sure as we do not have any cross reference information. Sorry!

I am not the right person to provide this information. Contact Anderson Hitches at www.andersonhitches.com or 800-635-6106. Anderson is very helpful. My hitch works well.

I had to buy the hitch converter to fit my 1" for my Honda. Works well. Bought them together as suggested by Amazon.

I have not been able to open my Honda Odyssey tailgate without removing the rack from the trailer hitch. The rack does lift up and can be secured in a semi upright position so that when you are parked your vehicle's profile will be smaller

Hi Beverly, It fits perfect to my Allen 4 bikes . Since both are from the same hitch family, they will fit. Enjoy your bikes

It should fit about any rack system, as long as the cross bars are adjustable front to rear. Your cross bars need to be able to to spread from at least 23 5/8" to a max of 34". The box is 38" wide and 63" long. As noted, the box is an excellent value to price, but in my case, the Honda Odyssey I have does not come with those cross bars, so those added to the expense. The box has three sets of mounting holes pre-drilled, if needed, you could drill holes to match the cross bar spread you are limited to - just be sure to cover any holes not used with the supplied hole seals.

Yes Cynthia, This should work with no problem. The Anti-tip works well also. The devise has several bolts (4 or 5) that tighten around hitch. Very easy to apply! Well worth the money.

I have not. I am guessing you need to know how far out from the hitch the rack ends so from the pin to the end of the rack is 38.5". Your last bike will be centered 3" inboard or at w= 35.5". You can figure out where the handlebars end. The length will be determined by you bikes which will extend beyond the rack as I'm sure you know. Hope this helps!

It should fit your 2011 Odyssey according to Amazon but you should double check that. Do NOT ever drill holes in a unibody frame. You can compromise the structural integrity of the entire vehicle. There are pre threaded holes that you will bolt the hitch into. Use antiseize and a torque wrench set to factory specifications as given to you in the hitch manual. You will need a tow light box that will plug in behind the back left quarter panel. Online videos are easily available on how to do this. Typically it requires a 10mm socket wrench and a Phillips head screwdriver. I also recommend a few zip ties to keep connections clean. Honda OEM says to run the wires through the floor at pre drilled spots. I just run the wires out the hatch. I can assist with any other questions you may have.

Yes, you use a standard pin that are used on most all hitches. The bolt you see gets tightened so the bike rack or whatever you are mounting does not move to much from side to side. The bolt holds the rack firmly in place.

Hi, I was not able to make this work with my Honda Ridgeline due to the lack of rails to mount the hardware on. I didn't want to drill into the liner to make it work(I'm not sure it would have worked anyway. I ended up getting the 'Delta Stableloader 2-Bike Truck Bed Mount Rack' that you just remove your front wheels on the bikes and it works well.

It will fit on any three or four inch hitch. Just put on the adapter for the three inch. HOWEVER, the metal is so weak that it won't hold four bikes. After about an hour the rack sagged and I nearly lost it all. Until I can get it welded it sits in my garage.

It will if you look at amazon and type. Aosom Bike Trailer Type 'A' Hitch Coupler that's the same kind of hookup. Just unscrew the back tire slip it on and screw tire back on.

I have not used the hitch for a bike rack as of yet. I have carried two bikes to Florida and back on a Buick Rendezvous with no stabilizing strap. The bike carrier was one that carried the bike wheels in horizontal hoops, and was very stiff. The bikes moved very little. If Curt's lawyers say to use a strap, it surely can't do any harm, and probably will stabilize the bikes quite a lot. I think the hitch on the Buick was a DrawTite, and it was an 1 and 1/4 reciever.
