Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring Harness For 2016 Honda Odyssey
Question:
Which is best HIDDEN Hitch for Honda Odyssey 2016

Expert Reply:
For your 2016 Odyssey I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch part # 76025. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2 inch receiver opening. The newer design of this hitch helps make this hitch one of the more concealed hitches on the market.
If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
If you need a trailer wiring harness on your Odyssey I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118521. The T-One connector plugs into your Odyssey's wiring harness, located behind the driver's-side interior trim panel in the rear cargo area. Then you need to open your fuse box and locate the fuse positions per the included instructions. Then insert the fuses that are included and that's it.

If I install the suggested Receiver and wiring harness for my 2016 Odyssey 3.5L, is it necessary to also install a Transmission Cooler? I received a quote from a dealership for hitch installation and they said a transmission cooler is necessary for towing. Is it really necessary?
