Expert Answers about Honda Odyssey


  • Will The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver Class 3 Void The Warranty On 2019 Honda Odyssey?
  • A dealer cannot void your warranty on your 2019 Honda Odyssey simply because you installed and/or used an aftermarket trailer hitch receiver. However, if an issue with your vehicle happened to arise and the dealer deemed the issue to have been primarily caused by the installation or use of that trailer hitch receiver then it could possibly void your warranty. That being said, I think the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76170 is a great option...

  • Availability of Hitch, Wiring, and Transmission Cooler For 2004 Honda Odyssey
  • For your 2004 Honda Odyssey the CURT Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # 13561, has been discontinued and replaced with the CURT Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # C13068. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the # C13068 hitch. The Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, part # 118336, is the correct wiring harness to install a 4-Way at the rear of your vehicle. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the wiring harness. The Derale Series 8000 Transmission Cooler,...

  • The Titan Chain # TC1555 is a low profile Class-S chain featuring square links (best bite) on a diamond pattern and will fit on the 235/65-17 tires on your 2012 Honda Odyssey EX-L. These chains have the Class S designation, meaning they are designed for vehicles with restricted wheel-well clearance. These chains require at least 37 mm or 1-15/32 inch of clearance between the top of the tire tread and the wheel well and at least 15 mm or 19/32 inch between the tire sidewall and the vehicle....

  • Hitch With Best Ground Clearance for 2021Honda Odyssey
  • Of the various hitch options available for a 2021 Honda Odyssey, The Curt Class III hitch, part # C64NR would offer about 11-3/4 inches of clearance under the lowest point of the hitch, while the rest would offer about 10 to 10-1/2 inches. This hitch is also mostly concealed behind the bumper, only the receiver tube and the safety chain hoops will be visible. If you're concerned about the hitch contacting the pavement when pulling in/backing out of steep driveways, a hitch protector/roller...

  • Honda Odyssey Model Year Fit and Compatibility of Hidden Hitch 87479 and Draw-Tite # 75270
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75270 is the replacement for the Hidden Hitch 87479 you mentioned. This hitch is confirmed to fit 1999 through 2017 Honda Odyssey model years. I've attached an installation video for you. If you already have the hitch, I recommend getting new hardware using # RHK. You just enter the hitch number and then select the manufacturer and the correct hardware will be sent.

  • Is Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness Compatible With 2015 Honda Odyssey With Backup Camera
  • The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56378 did not have compatibility with a backup camera when the video was made. You can see in that video that it lacks the additional connection with the white wire that it now comes with. This was added later, and will allow you to plug the wiring harness into both connection points on the panel which will allow you to use the backup camera. That being said, I would recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector...

  • Will Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box Fit Slightly Curved Crossbars on 2021 Honda Odyssey
  • The Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629806 will fit just fine with the slight curve the OEM crossbars have on your 2021 Honda Odyssey. The slight curvature is pretty normal for OEM roof racks so cargo box manufacturers know about it and have designed their products to accommodate these types of systems.

  • Can you Carry a Canoe on the SeaSucker Monkey Bars
  • Using the SeaSucker Monkey Bars, part # 298-SX6000B, on your 2020 Honda Odyssey is a great choice for a roof rack. It will work with your canoe so long as it is under 150 pounds (also check your owner's manual to ensure that it can handle that much). If your canoe is under 150 pounds, then it won't pull up enough to overcome the 210 upward pull limit. I do recommend using the SUP and Surfboard Pads for SeaSucker Monkey Bars, part # 298-SA1022. This will keep your canoe from getting any...

  • Recommended Bike Rack That Can Swing Away From Vehicle To Allow For Trunk Access
  • The available swing-away hitch extenders, which would typically allow a bike rack to swing to the side for trunk access, will not work with the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # TH903202 since this bike rack requires an adapter to convert from 1-1/4" to 2" shank. These adapters also require a 2" receiver but even if you have one, the adapter would reduce the overall hitch capacity by 50% which would likely not work for the Thule EasyFold which weighs...

  • Suspension Enhancement System for 2019 Honda Odyssey
  • There is one option for suspension enhancement for your 2019 Honda Odyssey, though there are no SumoSprings that fit. Instead, the enhancement that does fit is the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # T26FR. The Timbren jounce springs will improve your Odyssey's handling and performance, offering your suspension the support it needs when you are towing. When you have additional capacity at the rear of your Odyssey - like when you are towing - the back end will sag, causing the...

  • 2018 Honda Odyssey Compatibility with Yakima Skybox NX 16
  • It will not be a problem at all if you install the front crossbar of the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Aluminum - 58", part # MPG216, at least 45" measured from the front center crossbar to the edge of the rear hatch when opened. Your crossbar spread needs to be between 24" and 36". Then you can fit the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Roof Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black Carbonite, part # Y95AV, on your 2018 Honda Odyssey.

  • Can SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack Be Used for Fishing Kayaks on 2019 Honda Odyssey
  • The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B is a great option for your 2019 Honda Odyssey as it has a 150 lb weight capacity and the powerful vacuum cups have a pull strength rating of 210 lbs each - and there's 6 of them. As long as you don't go over that 150 lb weight capacity you're good to go with this roof rack! If you don't already have kayak carriers I recommend picking up 2 of the Malone MegaWing Fishing Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # MPG207 and then using the Malone Channel...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Brake Controller that Shows Trailer Connection When Not Connected to Trailer
  • Generally speaking, when a brake controller thinks thats a trailer is connected when there isn't one the problem usually lies within the trailer connector. In order to check this you will want take a bit of electrical spray and clean off the pin inside the connector. You may also want to check the rear of the connector for loose or touching wires. Give the wires at the rear of the trailer connector a good wiggle to ensure the connection is secure. You may also want to trace the wires from...

  • What is Needed to Tow a Trailer With a 2008 Honda Odyssey?
  • So far you have Draw-Tite Hitch # 75270, a 4-way harness # 118438, brake controller install kit # ETBC7L, Curt Echo brake controller # C51180 and transmission cooler # D13503. This is a very good start in terms of what you need to tow with your 2008 Honda Odyssey. However, you were correct that you will need a ball mount, hitch ball and pin and clip. If you are going to be towing, I recommend checking out Ball Mount Kit # 989900, which may fulfill your towing needs in one tidy package;...

  • Can the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller Work in Multiple Vehicles
  • The Curt Echo Brake Controller # C51180 is designed as a brake controller you can move between vehicles so you would not need one for each vehicle. What would be necessary in each car is the wiring to add a brake controller; if your vehicle does not have a factory tow package, you would need a 4-way connector (which will vary depending on the vehicle) and the Installation Kit # ETBC7L. I've added a link to a video review for you to check out.
