Comparison Between Class III Receiver Hitches Available for 2020 Honda Odyssey
Question:
Why are there two Draw-Tite Class III hitches available for a 2020 Odyssey. What's the difference between them?
asked by: Dan R
Expert Reply:
Draw-Tite does indeed offer a Class III hitch for the 2020 Honda Odyssey. The # 76170 and is what I'd refer to as a typical hitch. Once installed, the entire hitch is just about totally concealed behind the rear bumper, with the exception of the receiver tube and the safety chain loops. Because minivans like the Odyssey have pretty minimal ground clearance at the back to begin with, Draw-Tite came up with this different design which resulted in the # 76170. With this design, the hitch sits up higher on the vehicle and will offer about 2 inches of additional ground clearance which is why I recommend the # 76170.
If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, you'll need a trailer wiring harness like # 118781 and a ball mount/trailer ball kit like # EBMK4.
