Expert Answers about Honda Odyssey


  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2008 Honda Odyssey and 2007 Nissan Sentra
  • The Thule Platform OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack, # TH65JV, and a host of other trunk mount bike racks will fit the 2007 Nissan Sentra. But, there are no trunk mount bike racks that will fit the 2008 Honda Odyssey because there are not enough safe attachment points on the van for a trunk mount bike rack. Sine you are looking for something that will fit both vehicles, the best option is going to be to equip trailer hitches on both vehicles and use a hitch mount bike rack. Starting with...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2010 Honda Odyssey
  • We don't offer the OEM Honda part, but we do offer aftermarket alternatives that would work perfectly. There's absolutely no reason why an aftermarket cooler wouldn't work just as well as the OEM unit. I'd recommend the Derale # D13503 transmission cooler, which installs as shown in the linked install video. Although a portion of the front of the vehicle needs to be partially dismantled to access the mounting location, the installation itself isn't too difficult, as you can see n the...

  • Will Draw Tite Hitch From 2008 Honda Odyssey Fit 2017 Odyssey
  • Yes, the hitch from a 2008 Honda Odyssey would fit a 2017 Honda Odyssey. The # 75270 will fit your new 2017 Odyssey but you will need to get new hardware since hitch hardware is considered one time use. For that you would need the part # RHK. On the product page you will need to select the manufacturer Draw Tite and then enter the part number 75270 on the product page and we will ship you out the correct hardware.

  • Surface Mount Backup Alert Recommendation for a 2010 Honda Odyssey
  • At this time we do not carry a reverse light backup alert for your 2010 Honda Odyssey LX. I spoke with my contact at Hopkins and they do not have anything for the 7440 series bulb that is in your vehicle. You still have an option for an audible back-up alarm. You could use a Surface Mount Back-up Alarm # BK97DB. You will need to hardwire this unit into your reverse light circuit to install this product, but it would work as a back up alarm.

  • Is Transmission Cooler Required After Adding Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13068 to 2013 Honda Odyssey
  • Since you plan to add the Curt Custom Fit Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C13068, to your 2013 Honda Odyssey for the purpose of towing, the owner's manual states you must carefully observe the load limits (I have attached a snapshot of the manual) and use the proper equipment, an ATF (automatic transmission fluid) cooler. I have attached an article for you that is loaded with information on transmission coolers as well as a link to those available for your Odyssey. I personally recommend taking...

  • Recommendation For Carrying 3 Kayaks On 2003 Honda Odyssey With Factory Side Rails
  • The first thing you will want to do is consult your owners manual or with your dealership to make sure you do not exceed the roof weight capacity for your 2003 Honda Odyssey. The weight of 3 kayaks would probably be more than the weight capacity of any of the roof racks we offer for your Odyssey. If you are okay with a system for 2 kayaks I recommend the Yakima Roof Rack System. This system features round 48 inch crossbars that have a weight capacity of 100 lbs, which should be able...

  • Cargo Carrying Options For 2014 Honda Odyssey Van
  • I spoke with my contact at Thule about your 2014 Honda Odyssey. With no side rails or crossbars on the roof they do have a few roof rack options that fit but you're requried to drill into the van. I've linked the selection for you. If you have the raised side rails, I recommend the Thule Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401, 60" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711520, as well as locks # TH450400. This kit mounts directly to the side rails and includes locks to secure the rack to your vehicle. ...

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller in 2018 Honda Odyssey
  • We can definitely help install a brake controller on your 2018 Honda Odyssey that does not have the factory tow package. You'll first need to have a 4-way installed if you do not already. For that you'd want the # 118781 which is custom fit so it installs easily. Next you'll need to convert it to a 7-way which for that we have the # ETBC7 that does that as well as comes with everything needed to wire up a brake controller. For a brake controller the Prodigy P2 part # 90885 is a really solid...

  • Best Hidden Hitch For 2016 Honda Odyssey
  • All the hitches we have available for your 2016 Honda Odyssey are going to show a little bit of hitch, but the one that shows the least is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" Item # 76025. This only shows the 2" receiver tube that you insert your accessories into. This is the cleanest looking hitch available in my opinion. This hitch works great with our 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Tilting - Folding - 500 lbs Item # e98874....

  • Fork Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2018 Honda Odyssey with Locks
  • The Rhino Rack Road Warrior part # RBC036 is a really great choice that fits the factory crossbars of your 2018 Honda Odyssey, is priced great, and comes with locks for the bikes and the rack. You might have to stagger the direction of the bikes as you install them but you should have no problem fitting 5.

  • Will Rampage Minivan Center Console Fit 2016 Honda Odyssey and Does it Feature Power Outlets
  • The Rampage Minivan Center Console # RA39923 that you referenced is designed for use inside minivans like your Honda Odyssey so it should work perfectly. With that being said we haven't had a chance to actually test-fit this on a 2016 model Odyssey so it will be a good idea to compare its dimensions to the space you have available. This unit measures 29" long, 9" wide, and 14" tall. The console does not feature any kind of electrical ports, as it's a standalone unit that won't be plugged...

  • How To Carry A Fishing Kayak On The Roof Of A 2005 Honda Odyssey
  • The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Aluminum - 58" Long # MPG216 will simply attach to the factory raised rails on your 2005 Honda Odyssey. This is a very budget-friendly option that will work well; it has a 165lb weight capacity and has a built-in top channel for accessories to be installed onto. The Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier - Canoe, Kayak, or 2 SUPs - Side Loading - Universal Mount # LR54FR can slide into the top channel of the...

  • Four Bike Platform Rack for Two E Bikes, a Carbon Bike and a Kids Bike
  • This could be a great rack for you! The Saris SuperClamp ex 4 bike rack part # SA4026F is only for use with bikes up to 60 lbs. Now with that said if you pull the batteries off of your bikes (recommended for transport anyway) and they are under the 60 lbs. mark this rack would work out great!

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2007 Honda Odyssey
  • We have everything you will need to transport your bikes with your 2007 Honda Odyssey. First, for a trailer hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Round Tube Receiver Hitch # 75270. This is custom fit for your vehicle, which means there will be no drilling required during installation. This hitch represents the most cost-efficient model for your vehicle and has a tongue weight capacity of 675 pounds. The 2 inch hitch opening will give you a wide array of hitch-mounted bike...

  • Recommended Raised Side Rails and Crossbars for 2012 Honda Odyssey
  • Since you have the naked roof without the raised side rails, I recommend first adding the etrailer Raised Side Rails for Roof Rack - Black Powder Coated Steel # E99033 confirmed to fit your van. Then I recommend using the Inno Crossbars # INXB145-153 and Flush Feet # INXS100. We don't have any installers we recommend in different locations, so we simply suggest if you aren't comfortable doing the installation yourself that you take your parts to a trusted friend or a mechanic you trust...

  • Folding Platform Bike Rack that Can Fold Up Installed on 2011 Honda Odyssey
  • We have a great folding bike rack that is similar to the Thule T2 XTR # TH83JV that does have the folding clearance needed but this rack would be right at 1/2 inch too short to do so. Instead we have the Kuat NV 2.0 Base part # BA22B which is very similar and has a folding clearance of 6-5/8 inches instead so it would easily work well for you. Many refer to this rack as being the nicest platform bike rack out there so we know you'd be extremely happy with it.

  • Which Trailer Hitch for a 2014 Honda Odyssey Offers Most Ground Clearance
  • The trailer hitch that offers the most ground clearance for a 2014 Honda Odyssey is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76025 which I also really like because it has a hidden cross tube that will look the best once installed since it's not visible.

  • Recommended Roof Rack For 2016 Honda Odyssey To Carry 103lb Hobie Kayak
  • Congratulations on the new kayak! For your 2016 Honda Odyssey I recommend the Thule Roof Rack System using 60" Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711520, and Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 if your vehicles has the factory raised side rails running front to back. If it has a bare roof you will need the 53" Thule Crossbars # TH711420, Thule Top Track Mounting System # THTP42, Rapid Podium Feet # TH460R, and Fit Kit # THKIT3101. Both of these kits have a 165lb weight capacity which is plenty...
