Expert Answers about Honda Odyssey


  • Recommended Trailer Hitch, Wiring, and Ball Mount For 2022 Honda Odyssey
  • The hitch that I recommend for your 2022 Honda Odyssey is 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. It has a max gross trailer weight of 3,500 lbs, tongue weight of 525 lbs, and is compatible with weight distribution. This hitch is made in the USA. Since you will be towing you will also need...

  • Is There a Hidden Hitch for a 2002 Honda Odyssey
  • I do have an option for you but the only trailer hitch options we can recommend for a 2002 Honda Odyssey have a visible crosstube like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98862 which is what I recommend. There are no hidden options for this vehicle nor can I recommend any. The visible crosstube is a bit unsightly but it will work great nonetheless for anything you need from towing to bike racks and cargo carriers.

  • Recommended Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver for Towing With 2022 Honda Odyssey Elite
  • I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76170 for towing with your 2022 Honda Odyssey Elite. This hitch has a concealed cross tube so only the receiver will be hanging down below the rear bumper. This will help give you additional clearance as well as provide a factory look. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a max gross trailer weight of 3,500 lbs and 525 lbs for your towing needs. Since you plan on towing, you will also need wiring and a ball mount....

  • Towing a Trailer and Carrying Bikes at the Same Time with a 2014 Honda Odyssey
  • The Thule T2 # TH83JV will work in the receiver portion of multipurpose ball mount # D210. The issue is that you will likely have reduced turning clearance when towing the trailer and the bikes and/or rack could make contact with the trailer if you were to turn tightly enough. The height of the ball mount is another potential issue. The # D210 has a 2-1/4 inch drop. To determine if this will be a factor there are some measurements you can take. First measure from the ground to the top...

  • Recommended Cover for 17' Boston Whaler Katama Boat
  • The best cover option we offer for a 17' Boston Whaler Katama is the Taylor Made BoatGuard Center Console Boat Cover part # 36970211. It will work great while your boat is in storage and if you ever need to move it, you can leave the cover still attached. It also comes with a storage bag for when not in use.

  • How Will I Know What Size Ball Mount Receiver I Need Without Having A Trailer Yet?
  • Looking at the different trailer hitch receivers that we offer I see that most will have a hitch height of 12-16" on the 2008 Honda Odyssey. We do list the heights of the receivers in our installation videos. If you do not yet have a receiver I recommend our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98862. This receiver will have a height of 14" and a 2" receiver. The 2" receiver is great because it will give you more ball mount options as well as hitch accessories. Most 5'x8' trailers will...

  • Does Draw Tite Hitch part # 75270 Fit a 2016 Honda Odyssey SE
  • Yes, the Draw Tite hitch part # 75270 is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Honda Odyssey SE and would be a great option. I attached an install video for the hitch for you to check out as well. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.

It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If...

  • Largest Cargo Box Available for a 2019 Honda Odyssey
  • The largest cargo box we have for your 2019 Honda Odyssey is the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH6299B which offers 22 cu ft of cargo capacity followed by the Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box part # Y07337 which offers 21 cu ft of cargo capacity. In regards to ease of installation, they both have easy to use clamps but the Motion weighs less at 55 lbs whereas the SkyBox weighs 62 lbs. Therefore, the Motion will be easier to get on and off the vehicle. In regards to finish,...

  • Recommended Hitch-Mount 4-Bike Carrier for 2010 Honda Odyssey
  • A 2-inch Class III hitch like Draw-Tite # 75270 is indeed the best way to transport 4 bikes on your 2010 Honda Odyssey. Installation of this hitch is shown in the linked video, for your reference. Hitch-mount racks put the entire weight load of the rack and bikes onto the car's frame - its strongest part - and a hitch also allows use of other accessory items like a cargo basket such as # C18151 from Curt. Once you have your hitch installed, you'll want to take one simple measurement. This...

  • Can a Weight Distribution System and Air Suspension Enhancement Be Used Together
  • With a properly set up weight distribution system that is rated for the tongue weight of the setup (this includes the weight of passengers and cargo behind rear axle), suspension enhancement SHOULDN'T be needed. But it can still be used if additional support is desired. When you use the two systems together you will want to air up the bags first before you setup the WD system. The par t# AL60815 is the correct kit for your 2008 Honda Odyssey. I attached an install video for you to check...

  • Replacement Faucet for RV with Pull Down Sprayer
  • There are no replacement cartridges for the Side Lever RV Kitchen Faucet with Pull Down Spout part # 277-000129 unfortunately. Therefore, if you would like to continue using this facet then the entire unit would need to be replaced. However, we do have a similar faucet in the Phoenix Faucets 8" Single Handle RV Kitchen Faucet part # PF231461 which does have replacement cartridges available for it, part PF287042.

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2004 Honda Odyssey
  • I am not sure I understand what you are asking. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55367 which you referenced plugs into a pre existing port behind the rear bumper on a 2000 Toyota Tundra. If you instead have a 2004 Honda Odyssey which is the vehicle you entered into the fitguide then you are going to want to use the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55336 which will plug into a pre existing port behind driver side panel in the hatch. The installation instructions...

  • 3-Bike Trunk Rack Recommendation for 2018 Honda Odyssey
  • For a three bike trunk rack that has been confirmed as a fit for your 2018 Honda Odyssey the Hollywood Racks Over the Top # HRF2-3 is a great choice. It's been confirmed as a fit on your vehicle to carry up to 3 bikes and is a very solid bike rack overall. This fits vehicles without roof rails like what you have as well.

  • How To Carry Two 76lb Kayaks With 2014 Honda Odyssey
  • I may have another option, but since your two Old Town Sportsman 106 PDL kayaks weigh 76lbs each, and the roof rack weight capacity on your 2014 Honda Odyssey is 165lbs that only leaves you 13lbs available for the weight of the kayak carriers. Using two of the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount # e98878 would add roughly 20lbs and would push you over the weight rating of your roof rack. Instead I recommend using a kayak trailer like the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2012 Honda Odyssey
  • The Thule # TH7503B-TH7504B AeroBlade Edge roof rack you'd looked at is an outstanding product that really looks as if it was installed at the factory, but since you won't be using your roof rack constantly, you might be a good candidate for a more budget-friendly option. The Malone AirFlow2, part # MPG216 would be a good quality, more reasonably priced option that is very highly rated by our customers. You can see a video showing the rack being installed on a newer-model Odyssey by using...

  • Recommended Trailer Valet Trailer Dolly for Moving Loaded Trailer Up and Down Driveway Steep Grade
  • For your Yakima 66 inch Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106, I recommend the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive - 2" Hitch Ball - 1,000 lbs TW # TVXL2. This tow dolly will use chain driven solid rubber tires to help you move the trailer up the incline of your driveway when loaded and is height adjustable to accommodate your needs. It also has an automatic brake that will help you as you take the trailer down the driveway to make sure the trailer doesn't run away from you. This...

  • We have one trunk mounted bike rack that will fit both your 2004 Honda Odyssey and a 2015 Toyota Sienna if you were to get one. For that you would want the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top part # HRF2-3. This is a great rack that is incredibly versatile in that it can fit most vehicles, even ones with large spoilers. I attached a review video for you to check out as well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested...

  • Testing Converter Box of Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Kit part # 118438
  • What you will want to do is test the wires going into the box of the converter box for voltage with a circuit tester like the # PTW2993 to see if there is voltage going into the box when the taillight functions of your vehicle are applied, and then test the output side of the box to see if the current is making it through the converter. If not then the problem is that the converter box has shorted itself out and would need to be replaced. Before you replace it you will want to inspect...
