Comparing the Different Class III Trailer Hitches for a 2019 Honda Odyssey

Question:

How far under the bumper are the different hitch receiver openings? There used to be a helpful video with all the hitches, but I can no longer find it. Wondering if bike racks or tow hitches will be closer to car than desired. My old hitch was flush with the bumper. Hard to tell from the pictures.

I have listed the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outer edge of the bumper on all of the class III trailer hitch receivers we have for your 2019 Honda Odyssey below:

etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver - part # e98855 (3")
Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - part # C13370 (3")
Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - part # C64NR (4-1/2")

Therefore, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C64NR will be the most recessed and the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E98855 or the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13370 will be the least recessed. A few bullet points to take away are that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C64NR will be the least visible, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E98855 will be best for towing because it has the highest capacity, and the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E98855 or the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13370 will be the best for bikes racks or cargo carriers as they offer the most clearance. The etrailer.com hitch has a matte finish and the Curt hitch has a glossy finish, that is the only difference.

I have attached an install video on each of these options for you.
