Wiring Harness and Trailer Hitch for 2014 Honda Odyssey

Question:

Hello, I received a hitch from a family member to mount on my 2014 Honda Odyssey. The original bolts were a little corroded so I need new mounting hardware. Im having some trouble identifying the hitch to put in the manufacturer and part number for the replacement hardware kit RHK. The hitch itself does not have a manufacturer name on it, but there are two numbers stamped on it, 00258 and HG-2267. Ive included a picture of this. For some reason, Im only able to include one picture, but I can provide others through email. If you could help me identify the hitch and the necessary mounting hardware, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, can you recommend a wiring harness for the 2014 Honda Odyssey? The hitch was originally installed on a 2003 Odyssey, not sure if it is Honda or an aftermarket. Thank you

Thanks for all the information, and there are four hitches from our manufacturers that fit both a 2003 Honda Odyssey and 2014 Honda Odyssey, but none of them - the Draw-Tite # 75270 and # 36417 or Curt # C13068 or # C12031, have any type of affiliation I could find with the numbers you provided and the manufacturers I contacted were unable to find any either. If it is an OEM part you may just be better off getting a brand-new hitch from the choices above as it could end up being more cost-effective than dealer replacement parts.

In terms of a wiring harness, I can definitely help you with that and I strongly recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118521 because it has the highest maximum amperage among all the wiring harnesses for your 2014 Odyssey and its manufacturer, Tekonsha, is known for making highly reliable wiring harnesses.

I have added a link to a video of this harness being installed in a '14 Odyssey for you to take a look at, as well as a link to the install manual.
