Expert Answers about Honda Odyssey


  • Difference between Item # C56382 and Item # 118753 for a 2018 Honda Odyssey
  • The difference between the Curt # C56382 and the Tekonsha T-One # 118753 for your 2018 Honda Odyssey is that the Curt is for if the fuse locations actually have pins in them. The Tekonsha option is for if the fuse locations are lacking the pins to activate the tow wiring. The Tekonsha basically bypasses everything and pulls power straight from the battery via the black wire (which runs to your battery) while the Curt utilizes factory wiring on your vehicle.

  • 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 Difference Between The Tekonsha 118753 And 118781 For A 2022 Honda Odyssey?
  • I do agree that the Tekonsha Wiring harnesses are the way to go. They tend to be the longest lived of the harnesses we offer, but the # 118753 and # 118781 for your 2022 Honda Odyssey definitely make it a little confusing. However, I am here to demystify said confusion and it will actually pretty easy to tell which is needed. This will require you to open the driver side rear access panel in the cargo area. You will need to check the fuse locations 10, 11, and 12 (pictured). If you have...

  • Comparing Wiring Harnesses Available for the 2020 Honda Odyssey
  • I can see why this might be confusing and there are some differences between all 3 of these wiring harnesses. I'll start off by explaining the differences between the Tekonsha # 118781 and # 118753 wiring harnesses. The main difference is that the # 118753 is designed for vehicles that do not have the towing fuses already in place. In order to determine which one you can use on your 2020 Honda Odyssey you'll need to check the rear interior fuse box, which is located on the left side of...

  • Comparing the Reese Light Duty Weight Distribution System to the Pro Series RB2 for a 2700lb trailer
  • When choosing a weight distribution system, the most important factor to consider is the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your 2004 Honda Odyssey. Tongue weight of a trailer is typically calculated to be 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight. If your Scamp trailer weighs 2,700 lbs, then the tongue weight may be around 270 lbs to 405 lbs. You must then add the weight of the cargo that you load in the back...

  • 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 # 306-X7372 and Curt # C64NR Receivers For a 2022 Honda Odyssey
  • The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7372 and Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C64NR are both custom fit receivers that will fit all models of your 2022 Honda Odyssey. Both have a weight rating of 525lbs tongue weight and 3,500lbs trailer weight and cannot be used with a weight distribution hitch. Be sure to verify maximum tow ratings for your Odyssey from Honda and do not exceed the lower rating. They will also carry a limited lifetime warranty. They are both made in the USA....

  • Comparing Ground Clearance of Class III Trailer Hitches on a 2012 Honda Odyssey
  • Your assumption is true; the ground clearances given for the 2013 Honda Odyssey will be the same for your 2012. But if you look at trailer hitch # 75270 the measurement from the ground up to the top of the receiver opening is 11-1/2 inches. I have linked a video that shows this. The Curt hitch # C13068 does measure 13 inches to the top of the receiver, see video. The Curt hitch does angle up some but it will not have a negative effect on any hitch mounted accessories used or cause any...

  • 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...

  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 76170 and the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 306-X7372 are very similar. They are both Class III - 2" hitches with equal specs of maximum tongue weight being 525 lbs. and the max gross trailer weight being 3,500 lbs. This matches the listed maximum towing specs for the 2022 Honda Odyssey. They are both designed to be an easy, bolt-on installation that requires no drilling or welding. The manufacturer of the EcoHitch states...

  • Difference Between Draw-Tite 2 Trailer Hitches for a 2019 Honda Odyssey
  • The main differences between the Curt # C64NR and the etrailer # e98855 trailer hitches with the 2" receivers for your 2019 Honda Odyssey is that the part # e98855 features a visible crosstube with a mounting bracket for wiring while the part # C64NR features a hidden crosstube for a cleaner look once installed. Since both Draw-Tite trailer hitches have weight ratings higher than your 2019 Odyssey it really boils down to what you plan on using the trailer hitch for. If for towing then...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Proportional Trailer Brake Controller for 2014 Honda Odyssey
  • There are two primary types of trailer brake controller, the time-delayed variety and the proportional variety. Both use the same 4-wire installation process and both do the same thing, but how they do it differs. Time-delay type brake controllers like the PowerTrac # 39523 offer the advantage of easier mounting since they do not need the same precise leveling and correct forward-facing orientation that is required for a proportional unit like the Prodigy P2 # 90885. Time-delay units are...

  • Comparison of Curt 13370 and Draw-Tite 76170 Trailer Hitch for 2022 Honda Odyssey
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13370 and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch receiver # 76170 are both good choices for your 2022 Honda Odyssey. They are both Class III hitches with a tongue weight capacity of 525 lbs, which will be the maximum they can hold with your cargo carrier. There are, however, a few differences. The main advantage I see to the Curt is the ease of installation. The installation process for the Draw-Tite hitch will take far more time since it is more difficult. This may...

  • Difference Between Draw Tite Hitches that Fit 2020 Honda Odyssey
  • For your 2020 Honda Odyssey the big difference between the two Draw Tite hitches you mentioned is that the # 76171 has a visible crosstube and the # 76170 does not. Having the crosstube out of plainsight makes the hitch look a little better and also helps with ground clearance. Now the install of the the hidden hitch is a bit longer but if you can handle that aspect it would be the hitch I'd recommend the highest. I attached a picture of what this hitch looks like installed as well as a...

  • 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...
