Expert Answers about Honda Odyssey


  • What Trailer Hitch for a 2019 Honda Odyssey EX Has The Most Concealed Look
  • Actually the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13370 and the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98855 sit about the some so either would work. These two hitches are very similar to one another except the # e98855 has a matte black finish and the # C13370 has a glossy black finish. In regard to the trailer wiring harnesses, the only difference between the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118781 and part # 118753 is that the former is a non-powered unit and the latter is...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for Towing a Trailer With 2022 Honda Odyssey Elite
  • For towing a trailer with your 2022 Honda Odyssey Elite recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98855. This is a custom-fit Class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It features a matte black powder coat finish that protects from corrosion and helps to hide dirt and dings better than a glossy finish. This hitch is made in the USA. Since you will be towing you will also need wiring. The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118781 is the most reliable option. This wiring harness plugs...

  • Are the Inno Square Crossbars # INB147 and the Malone SteelTop Roof Rack # MPG202 the Same?
  • I have an answer for you. Unfortunately, the Inno Square Crossbars # INB147 does not come with the feet (that have the locking mechanism) that are needed to mount the crossbars to your 2018 Honda Odyssey's roof. The Malone SteelTop Roof Rack # MPG202, on the other hand, comes with all the parts needed to mount onto your vehicle's roof. For the feet for the Inno crossbars, that is part # INFR. Other than the feet on the Inno square crossbars, another difference between the roof rack systems...

  • Hitch Mounted Bike Carrier Options For 2011 Honda Odyssey
  • There are several carriers available for your 2011 Honda Odyssey. Each of the carriers have different features and choosing the right bike carrier for you would depend on the features you feel are most important. I have attached a link to an article that explains the differences in bike carriers and may help you decide what works for you. Due to the number of bike carriers we offer, it would be very difficult to list the differences between all of the features of the carriers. Another...

  • Comparing the Different Class III Trailer Hitches for a 2019 Honda Odyssey
  • I have listed the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outer edge of the bumper on all of the class III trailer hitch receivers we have for your 2019 Honda Odyssey below: etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver - part # e98855 (3") Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - part # C13370 (3") Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - part # C64NR (4-1/2") Therefore, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C64NR will be the most recessed and the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E98855 or...

  • Comparing OEM and Aftermarket Trailer Hitches for 2014 Honda Odyssey
  • Draw-Tite 2-inch Class III hitch # 76025 and the other hitch options shown on the linked page are all confirmed to fit your 2014 Honda Odyssey. I do want to point out that installation of this particular hitch will be more involved than for the similar model # 75270. This other 2-inch model will take less time to install, costs less and actually has a higher weight capacity rating. I would highly recommend this model instead of part # 76025. The linked install video shows this item on a...

  • What Is the Best Trailer Wiring Harness Option for 2020 Honda Odyssey
  • As long as your 2020 Honda Odyssey doesn't fall into the extremely rare category of Odysseys that are missing terminals on fuse locations #10, #11 and #12 inside the fuse box, your best option is to go with the Tekonsha # 118781. Curt offers a similar option with the # C56382, but in our experience, the Tekonsha harnesses, and their converter boxes in particular, seem to do a better job and have proven to outlast the competition. If you want to be extra sure, you can look behind the driver...

  • Comparing Curt and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitches for a 2015 Honda Odyssey
  • Curt decided not to design hitch # C13068 to account for those welded on pieces you referenced in order to maximize the size of the side hitch brackets. As to why they chose to go with a 5 bolt design I can't say. The Draw-Tite hitch # 75270 sounds like it is what you would like more since it accounts for those welded on pieces and attaches in 6 places. If it were me I would go with Draw-Tite hitch # 76025 for the 2015 Honda Odyssey because with it only the receiver is visible. Installation...

  • Difference Between Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Harnesses that Fit 2019 Honda Odyssey
  • The big difference between the two Tekonsha trailer wiring harnesses that fit your 2019 Honda Odyssey is how they draw power to activate the trailer lights. The # 118753 has a wire that runs up to the vehicle battery which is used to power all of the trailer lights directly from the battery. This is a much safer setup but the install in more involved and it costs more. The part # 118781 installs much easier but it draws power for the trailer taillights through the wiring panel of the Odyssey....

  • How to Measure Trailer Tongue Weight to Select Weight Distribution System for 2007 Honda Odyssey
  • A weight distribution/sway control (WD/SC) system, regardless of brand or specific design, should be selected based on the measured total tongue weight (TW) of the vehicle/trailer system. This is the combined weight of the fully loaded trailer's actual TW (which can be measured easily with tongue weight scale # e99044) plus the weight of anything in the tow vehicle that sits behind the rear axle, such as a loaded cooler or a generator. The weight of anything that sits behind the rear axle...

  • Comparing Titan Chains # TC1555 and # TC2319
  • The difference between the Titan Chain Tire Chains # TC1555 and the Titan Chains # TC2319 is only in the application. The # TC1555 chains will fit 15 inch to 20 inch tirese, whereas the # TC2319 will fit 15 inch to 18 inch tires. So the # TC155 chains allow greater adjustability to fit larger tires. Obviously they don't fit every tire within the wheel sizes, so there are specific fits for height and width listed for each chain. The similarities are much more obvious in their diamond...

  • Comparing Curt Hitch Receiver #13068 vs. #13370 for 2019 Honda Odyssey
  • For your 2019 Honda Odyssey Touring, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13370 is the correct fit. The # C13068 is not a fit as there is a change in the frame in 2018 so that hitch only fits 1999 - 2017 Honda Odyssey models. To go with hitch # C13370, you will want the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with Upgraded Circuit Protected ModuLite HD Module - 4-Way Flat # 118781. Then for a ball mount I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches - 2" Ball...

  • Comparison of Curt Hitches Available for 2020 Honda Odyssey
  • The primary difference between the available hitches is how concealed they are. The hitch manufacturers heard from folks saying that they loved the convenience of a hitch for towing or attaching hitch mounted accessories but weren't so fond of the appearance of a big hunk of metal hanging under the rear bumper. Many of the hitch manufacturers took this to heart and began designing hitches that install so that the hitch crossbar is concealed behind the rear bumper, with only the receiver...

  • Comparing Trailer Wiring Harnesses for a 2008 Honda Odyssey
  • The Curt wiring harness # C56161 and the Tow Ready wiring harness # 118438 for the 2008 Honda Odyssey install the same way. Both install behind in a junction box located in the cargo area of the van. This is an ideal setup because it uses the factory location on the vehicle. The Curt harness actually uses a newer technology inside the converter box. Both harnesses would work well for you. I have linked instructions and a video for you.

  • Comparing EcoHitch to Curt Hidden Crossbar Hitch on 2020 Honda Odyssey
  • The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 306-X7372 and the Curt # C64NR are nearly identical with the difference being the manufacturer and the fact that EcoHitch uses recycled material to make their hitch so it is more environmentally friendly. The Curt # C64NR has a lower cost.

  • Is it Better to Use a Hitch Cargo Carrier or Roof Cargo Carrier for a 2015 Honda Odyssey
  • You are correct that there are definite advantages of hitch cargo carriers over roof cargo carriers. You will have less drag improving your gas mileage and you won't have to reach up to the roof of your vehicle each time you load or unload. The biggest upsides you will find from the roof cargo carriers is accessing the cargo and of course the cost difference for the amount of cargo you can carry. A good hitch cargo carrier is the GearDeck 17 Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Slide...

  • Timbren Rear Axle Jounce Spring Kit for 2006 Honda Odyssey
  • The SumoSprings Coil Helper Spring kits # CSS-1168 and # CSS-1168R that you found on our site are actually the same product. The R designation that we use on the one kit refers to an application on the REAR coil springs on a 2006 Honda Odyssey like yours. SumoSprings has not tested the springs on the front coils of your vehicle. For the 2006 Odyssey only rear axle kits are available since on this vehicle the low-slung rear suspension is most often where support is needed. The SumoSprings...

  • 2020 Honda Odyssey Difference Between Tekonsha 118781 and 118753 Wiring Harnesses
  • Both the # 118781 and the # 118753 are indeed confirmed to fit the 2018-2020 Honda Odyssey, both use T-connectors to plug into your tail light connectors, and both are rated at 5 amps for the stop/turn circuit and 7.5 amps for the tail light circuit. The main difference is that the # 118753 includes extra wire to run a power wire to the battery, whereas # 118781 comes with extra fuses which activate the "tow package" and power the harness through it. So, which one do you need? Well, you'll...

  • Bike Rack Sways With 4 Bikes Loaded on Reese Eclipse Carrier 63124 on 2007 Honda Odyssey
  • These two bike carriers are similar overall but differ in that the Eclipse uses a single arm, 2-inch shank and offers 8 inches of clearance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the upright mast. Your Translite uses dual arms, fits both hitch sizes and provides 11 inches of clearance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the upright mast. This additional 3 inches of distance will tend to allow the Translite carrier to flex a bit more under load. My contact at ProSeries advises that...

  • Comparing Draw-Tite Trailer Hitches for the 2018 Honda Odyssey
  • The single biggest difference between Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 76170 and the etrailer hitch # e98855 for the 2018 Honda Odyssey is visibility. With Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" Item # 76170, which is the one I recommend, only the receiver will be visible. If you want the most hidden trailer hitch for your van this is the best option. Compare that to etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98855...
