Recommended Class III Hitch, Wiring & Related Towing Parts for 2016 Honda Odyssey
Question:
I want to install a class 3 trailer hitch and wiring on my 2016 honda odyssey, I have seen your how to videos on 2015 hitch installation and 2014 wiring installation how different is the installation for the 2016?

Expert Reply:
The 2011 through 2016 model years of the popular Honda Odyssey are all part of the same 4th generation of this vehicle so the hitch installation process on a 2015 shown in our video will be essentially identical on your 2016. That install video is linked for you.
I recommend Draw-Tite Class III hitch # 75270 for its no-drill installation and substantial tongue weight capacity - 675-lbs. For a 4-pole wiring harness you can use part # 118521 from Tekonsha, which is a simple plug-in type installation - no cutting or splicing of the car's wires!
I recommend the Ball Mount Kit # EBMK4 to complete your towing set-up. This kit includes a ball mount, two sizes of hitch ball, and a pin and clip.
