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... view full answer...
The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-521559-5 and Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # RM-521559-4 are both fits for a 2010 Honda CR-V. The main difference between the two is that the Direct-Connect style connects directly to a tow bar like the Roadmaster Nighthawk part # RM-676. The Crossbar-Style connect to a crossbar and then to a tow bar like the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 part # RM-422.
I prefer the Direct-Connect as there is less to connect each time and... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
I would go with the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH45JV versus the Thule Passage, part # TH910XT.
These are both great racks with many Thule features in common. There are two main reasons that I would go with the OutWay # TH45JV over the Passage # TH910XT. The #1 reason is that the OutWay uses only two straps to install versus the 6 straps of the Passage. This makes the OutWay the easiest rack to install over all truck racks that I have seen. It's unique two strap system also... view full answer...
When comparing the Flex-a-lite Transmission Cooler # FLX400117 to the similar Derale Series 8000 Transmission Cooler # D13502, there are very few differences between them. Both have an aluminum construction, include all hardware needed, and are Plate-Fin style coolers. This is where the main difference is though. The Derale # D13502 will have 14 rows and the Flex-A-Lite # FLX400117 will have 17 rows.
The only other main difference between them is that Derale uses a thermal paint coating... view full answer...
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.

The Blue Ox BX7365 "Alpha" tow bar has been discontinued and was replaced by the # BX7380 "Alpha 2" which includes an improved non-binding system, and now includes safety cables. Otherwise their specifications are the same.
Since the BX7365 that you received is used, you should keep in mind that the warranty period was only 3 years and all tow bars only have a 7 - 10 year life span. Depending on its age, you may want to consider replacing it with the new Alpha 2. I believe if you call... view full answer...
We have a really nice selection of hitches that are confirmed to fit your 2020 Honda Odyssey. One of the main differences between an OEM hitch and most aftermarket hitches is that a factory hitch is typically more hidden with just the receiver tube sticking out of the bottom of the bumper. However aftermarket hitch manufacturers are designing hitches to be more hidden and have that factory like look. Another difference is the cost and weight ratings between the two. OEM hitches generally... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
There is just a single difference between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches that fit your 2023 Honda Passport, which is the finish. The Curt has a glossier finish than the matte black finish of the etrailer hitch, so you can choose which you prefer. The hitches that fit your '23 Passport are the following part numbers:
- etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e44AR
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13421
The matte black finish is nice as it hides the inevitable dings, scuffs and scratches... view full answer...
The first thing to do is verify that the the disc brake calipers and wheel bearings will fit your trailer. The majority of 3,500 lb axles use # L68149 inner, # L44649 outer bearings and the # RG06-050 grease seals, but you should check to be sure.
Next, make sure the wheels on your trailer are 14 inch diameter or larger, and that the spring on your trailer is at least 3 inches from the outer face of the brake mounting flange so that the caliper can be installed without contacting the inside... view full answer...
The major difference is going to be in weight capacity.
The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76290 has a gross trailer weight of 6000 pounds and a max tongue weight of 900 pounds.( If you add weight distribution hardware the GTW goes up to 8000 pounds)

Yes, there is a hitch adapter extension, the Folding Basket Adapter for 2 inch Trailer Mounted Cargo Carriers, part # 52015, which will allow you to convert the regular Cargo Carrier, part # C618150 to a folding Cargo Carrier. This setup will work for you.
If your cargo covers your vehicle lights, you could add the light kit like the etrailer License Plate and LED Tail Light Mounting Kit for Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier

If the load range B tires will sufficiently cover the gross trailer weight capacity then that is what you should go with. Going with a higher capacity tire would not allow the trailer to carry more weight because it is still limited by the axle and suspension.
You could go with the higher capacity tire but with more plies in the construction it could heat up faster and you could also experience a stiffer ride. I have included a link to the right to our help article on trailer tires for you. view full answer...
Both of the trunk mount bike carriers you mentioned are great bike racks.
Part # TH45JV features 2 retractable cables that secure the carrier to the back of your 2010 Honda Accord. It also features the patented FitDial system that makes mounting the rack very easy and has locks that not only secure the bike to the rack but also secure the rack to the trunk of your Accord. view full answer...
All 3 options are the same Coil SumoSprings:

Some vehicles need a powered trailer wiring harness with a separate power wire (rather than the passive type that just plug-in) in order to protect the car's wiring. In the case of the 2016 Honda Accord sedan this is the type of harness required, either Curt # C56299 if you have the hybrid model or the # C56173 if you have the hybrid model. I linked an article with tips for routing that power wire.
The reason a powered harness is required is that the vehicle's internal wiring is of too... view full answer...
There is a difference between a 7-way round and and 7-way rv blade connector. If you take a look at the accompanying photo, which is from our linked article on trailer wiring you can see that the connector on the left has blade-style pins while the one on the right has round pins.
There is even an adapter, the Trailer Connector Adapter # HM47425, which is a 7-pole round to 7-way blade if you need to go from the uncommon 7-way round to more common 7-blade.

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... view full answer...
Other than the color and the width of the rim, the two wheels you mentioned are constructed of powder coated steel and feature the same design.
