So far you have Draw-Tite Hitch # 75270, a 4-way harness # 118438, brake controller install kit # ETBC7L, Curt Echo brake controller # C51180 and transmission cooler # D13503. This is a very good start in terms of what you need to tow with your 2008 Honda Odyssey. However, you were correct that you will need a ball mount, hitch ball and pin and clip.

If you are going to be towing, I recommend checking out Ball Mount Kit # 989900, which may fulfill your towing needs in one tidy package; two ball mounts - one with a 3/4” rise or 2” drop and the other with a 2-3/4” rise or 4” drop - a 1-7/8” hitch ball, a 2” hitch ball and a pin and clip. In order to choose the correct ball mount, you will need to take a couple quick measurements, and I've added a help article on ball mounts for you to take a look at which will explain this process, as well as a link to our page with each of our ball mounts that fit a 2" hitch.
