The hitch to go with for your 2018 Honda Odyssey is the part # e98855 in my opinion. Because it has a lower price, higher towing capacities, and is compatible with weight distribution (a feature you most likely wouldn't need, but still...). Only "downside" is that it has a visible crosstube.

If you need a hidden cross tube, I suggest the EcoHitch # 306-X7372 it still has a high capacity but is much less visible.

Either hitch will work great, but it depends on what you value most for your hitch.
