The Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151 that you referenced should work well on your 2013 Honda Odyssey in the folded down position as long as you have a hitch with a 2 inch opening like the Curt Hitch part # C13068. However, there would not be enough clearance for the carrier to fold up.

This carrier has a distance of 16-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest rail of the carrier when folded down and 6 inches when folded up. All of the hitches available for your vehicle including the Curt hitch I referenced have a distance of 5-6 inches from the center of the hitch pin to the furthest point out on the bumper. That is how I was able to determine that this carrier would work folded down but probably not up.

For other folding hitch cargo carriers that should have enough clearance for you to fold the carriers up check out the etrailer Cargo Carrier # e99974. This carrier has a distance of 9-1/2" inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest bar when folded and has a tilt feature available when in use. The Pro Series Cargo Carrier # 6502 has a distance of 7-1/2 inches when folded. These would both be great choices for you.
