Hidden Trailer Hitch and Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2019 Honda Odyssey
Question:
Are the 2018 and 2019 Honda Odyssey class 2 hitches the same? Are the wireing kits the same for the 2018 and 2019 Odysseys? Which hitch that you sell that fits tightest to the body of the van? If I buy a Hitch from you, do you have recommended installers in the Albany NY area? I used to work in an automotive garage but am too old to want to be laying under those vehicles now if I dont have to.

The hitch and wiring kits for a 2019 Honda Odyssey are the same as the 2018 models. The etrailer.com hitch part # E95588 is a fit for either. The other hitch I would recommend though is the Curt part # C64NR as only the hitch opening will hang below the rear bumper which makes it the least visible.
For wiring the best option is the T-One kit part # 118753 which is a custom fit and the brand we offer that has the most reliable converter boxes.
If you wanted to do 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.
Install of both the hitch and wiring is pretty basic for any qualified mechanic. I would find someone local to you that you trust and let them handle it.
