For your 2020 Honda Odyssey the big difference between the two Draw Tite hitches you mentioned is that the # 76171 has a visible crosstube and the # 76170 does not. Having the crosstube out of plainsight makes the hitch look a little better and also helps with ground clearance. Now the install of the the hidden hitch is a bit longer but if you can handle that aspect it would be the hitch I'd recommend the highest. I attached a picture of what this hitch looks like installed as well as a link to an install video for you to check out as well.

If you need trailer wiring too the Tekonsha kit # 118781 is very easy to install and reliable as well. I attached an install video for this too.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…
