Features to know about

Carry Bikes and Gear Without the Hassle: 2" Class III Receiver for Everyday Use

The 2" x 2" receiver opening works with the most common bike racks, cargo carriers, and ball mounts. With a 4,500-lb maximum gross trailer weight and a 675-lb tongue weight, it’s ready for small trailers, road-trip cargo, and multiple bikes. When paired with weight distribution, those ratings increase to 5,000 lbs GTW and 750 lbs tongue weight. It’s a solid Class III hitch made for light to moderate towing and everyday hauling.

Skip the Shop Visit: Bolt-On Installation That Fits Right the First Time

This custom fit hitch bolts to the frame with no welding required. The precision robotic welding ensures everything lines up correctly, so it installs cleanly using basic tools. The included hardware kit and instructions make it straightforward for DIY installs in the driveway or garage. Once it’s on, the design gives a secure fit that feels factory made.

Built to Stay Strong in Any Weather: E-Coated Steel with Textured Black Powder Coat

The fully welded steel construction gives this hitch lasting strength. A textured black powder coat over a protective e-coat keeps rust and corrosion in check through years of use. The finish also hides scuffs better than glossy paint, so it keeps looking clean after every trip.

Clean Setup for Towing Accessories: Integrated Mounting Bracket

A welded-on mounting bracket makes it easy to attach your trailer wiring plug without extra clamps or drilling. The sturdy, square-tube design gives it a straightforward look under the bumper while keeping wiring organized and protected.

I bought this as it's the only one for our 2018 Odyssey Elite that didn't give a warning that it might interfere with the trunk foot opening. It 100% disabled the feature. Super frustrating.

It's common for the rear liftgate sensor to not work when trying to kick directly under the receiver, but it will still function if you kick your foot to either side of the side of the hitch receiver tube. Does your sensor not work even when trying from either side of the receiver?

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2026 Honda Odyssey That's Compatible w/a Vertical Bike Rack
    You can not Tim but I have a hitch that does work with vertical bike racks. For your 2026 Honda Odyssey, I recommend the Blue Ox Hitch item # BLU72UR. Blue Ox has approved their class III hitches to be used with vertical bike racks so long as you do not exceed the tongue weight capacity. The Blue Ox Hitch item # BLU72UR has a 675 lbs tongue weight capacity but you will be limited to 350 lbs because that is the maximum capacity of your Odyssey. The 350 lbs limit includes the bike rack...

  • Do Gaps Need to Get Filled When Installing Blue Ox Hitch BLU72UR
    Hey Warren, which cut outs specifically are you referring to? The trimming of the lower fascia panel to allow the hitch to fit? There's not really any way to do that nor would I understand what you'd hope to gain by that but I'm open minded if you wanted to help me understand.

  • Comparing etrailer And Blue Ox Trailer Hitches For A 2024 Honda Odyssey
    Hey Jon, thanks for reaching out. The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98855 for the Honda Odyssey is absolutely compatible with bike racks. As long as the bike rack fits a 2" receiver, and as long as the weight of the rack and bikes does not exceed 525 lbs, you will be good to go. That includes both vertical hanging racks and platform racks. As far as the difference between the etrailer hitch and the Blue Ox # BLU72UR hitch, both will fit your 2024 Odyssey. There are a few minor structural...

  • Availability Of Instructions And Install Video For Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver BLU72UR
    Hello Joe, thanks for reaching out. I was able to track down the instruction manual for the Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver # BLU72UR. I have included a few screenshots for you below. We do not have a video showing installation of this hitch since we haven't done one here at our shop yet, but we do have a video showing our etrailer # e98855 hitch which is also for the 2025 Odyssey and is very similar. I have linked the video for you below. Not the exact same hitch but should still give you...

  • Will The Blue Ox Hitch BLU72UR For A 2026 Honda Odyssey Carry A VelociRAX 7 MAX Bike Rack?
    Hi Andrew! Though not explicitly stated in your owners manual, it does elude to your tongue weight capacity being 10% of the max towing capacity (for some reason this is how most are doing it nowadays). So since that towing capacity is 3,500 pounds, that does mean your max tongue weight capacity is 350 pounds. I could not find anywhere saying this is an incorrect number, but I can say 10% of the max towing capacity is almost always the max tongue weight for passenger style vehicles, like...
