Out of the available hitches for your 2022 Honda Odyssey the best rated and easiest to install hitch is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98855. It has 3/10 on our difficulty rating scale and is rated best for bike racks and cargo carriers. This custom fit trailer hitch receiver easily bolts onto your Honda Odyssey's frame with no welding required for a simple installation. The steel construction of this hitch is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.
If you don't already have a 4-pole trailer connector I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with Upgraded Circuit Protected ModuLite HD Module - 4-Way Flat # 118781. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind an interior trim panel in your rear cargo area, on the passenger's side. Once you've plugged in the connector, you will have to route the harness through the jack storage compartment to the center of your vehicle. Before plugging the included 7-way socket into the tow harness, locate the fuse box under your hood and insert the provided fuses. This wiring harness also includes a ModuLite to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailer. You can mount the 4-pole connector to the trailer hitch with the Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144.
I've included installation videos for each of these items to help walk you through the process.
