Helpful Expert Reply:

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.
