Best Trailer Hitch for Carrying Bikes on a 2023 Honda Odyssey
Question:
Is the Curt hitch C12175 a good choice for my 2023 Odyssey or should I go with something else? I only plan on using this to get the kid's bikes around so I don't need anything heavy duty but there are also a lot of options for my vehicle. Help would be appreciated!

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12175 in and of itself is a solid choice for your 2023 Honda Odyssey, but it does have a smaller receiver and the crosstube hangs under the bumper of your van and reduces ground clearance so I actually recommend going with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C64NR instead.
This hitch receiver has a hidden crosstube so only the receiver is hanging below your bumper, and the receiver is 2" which means you'll have access to a wider variety of accessories as well.
If you don't already have a bike rack then I recommend the Hollywood Rack Destination because it's a simple bike rack that's cost-effective and gets the job done. This rack comes in both 2-Bike and 4-Bike options so you just need to choose the right size for your application:
- 2-Bike # HLY94FR
- 4-Bike # HR4000
I've attached some review videos of these racks on a 2023 Odyssey for you to check out.
