This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.
Works great! Have used for a year - I tow my small sailboat and kids in my Honda Odyssey out to the lake all the time - wiring & hitch super easy to install. Wiring hides away in the odyssey. Works to pull my wood splitter as well. (Helpful note - I got my Odyssey used at a great price but it was a bit rusty & I needed to retap the frame to clean up the threads - cheap tap from the hardware store made that easy.) Great instructions & a great price.
Aaron - 05/08/2022Fast delivery and secured package (no dents or scratches), easy to install (just watch the video link that the etrailer had provided), I need to to use Tap 12mm x 1.25 to remove the rust from my van especially the passenger side (I took my time on this and make sure I don’t strip the tread). I did use another person just to left the hitch and then jack it up to hold. I’m pretty satisfied the outcome and thank you etrailer for the good communication throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this Curt Trailer Hitch, this is for my 2016 Honda Odyssey.
Curt hitch C13068 and cover I-728 installed on an Oddy 2012 for the purpose of installing a YAKIMA bike rack. Due to the combination of OEM price and the need for large cutouts in the bodywork required I decided on CURT aftermarket vs. OEM. Selected CURT based on ground/receiver ground-clearance, looks and no mods to bumper bodywork. I installed the CURT hitch by myself in about 1 hour, I used a furniture dolly to move the hitch into position and cribbed it with wood to get to the right height. I did not undo the exhaust mount. Some people have expressed concern over the hitch design, at the end of the day in this "product liability environment" I assume CURT is doing their homework and properlly designed the hitch. Mind you, I do not expect to connect anything heavier than a loaded Yakima 4 bike rack (less than 250 lbs loaded). I do not think I can add to the wealth of information provided by etrailer and the CURT instructions themselves, other than I disagree with the comment to not install the driver side plastic cover. I re-installed by trimming with a box cutter a approx. 1/2 in. × 4 in. corner section. With regards to e-trailer. They could do a slightlly better job packing the hitch so that they do not break through the box (mine showed up sticking out with some minor scuffs). Mind you, I would buy from them again tomorrow based on all the product info, videos and reviews (good and bad), THANK YOU and Kudos I deduct the CURT hitch 1 notch, for not extending the wings to capture all three (3) OEM mount points. Other notes: I separatelly installed an OEM tranny cooler as recommended by HONDA.
That is actually a hitch cover that he wedged up above the hitch to get it out of the way. If you look closely, you can see it has a tether that goes around the hitch behind the collar at the moth of the hitch. It is part I-728.

Patrick B - 8/29/2013Thanks for the follow up, I added the two new photos to the original review.
-- Patrick B - 12/30/2013First of all The staff at etrailer were great at resolving a problem I had. The hitch looks great on my 2016 Odyssey. The bolt holes didn't line up perfectly (probably got dropped on the end of the box by the shipper). I just laid it down on the garage floor and whacked each end once or twice with a sledge hammer. The bolt holes now lined up perfectly. Fishing the third bolt on the drivers side went smoothly. All in all I'm extremely satisfied with the hitch and the people at etrailer. I highly recommend etrailer for all your trailering needs!
Joel - 04/21/2019This is a well-made hitch receiver with a nice finish. I plan to use it to haul utility trailers with my Odyssey. It is resting right under the bumper, so ground clearance is maximized. One star deducted for the 1/8" misalignment of the slots with my frame's threaded holes. I tried to install it in my driveway and failed; my mechanic buddy threw the car up on his lift, put a drift pin in the slot, and pried it over. 10 minutes of work for him that would have taken me hours without his expertise.
Jeffrey - 08/12/2021So, i've been looking for a hitch for my 2010 Honda Odyssey EX-L van to use for transporting bikes with a bike rack I just purchased. Went to trailer rental place and they were just charging too much for the hitch and installation. Since I purchased my bike tray rack for my roof rack on my sedan here on etrailer, I decided to see what hitches were offered. I went with the Curt Class 3 hitch for my vehicle after reading the reviews and watching the video that etrailer provided for instructions. I received the package through UPS. Unfortunately, there was a hole where the hitch made its way through during the shipping process. No biggie I said. Cleaned out the mount points on the van with WD-40 and a tube bristled brush. Tested all mounted points with the provided screws and everything looked to be dialed.....Until I tried mounting the hitch. Screwed in one bolt on the driver side and tried to mount the other bolt on the passenger side to no avail. The hitch was off by just a tad under .25mm. The hitch wouldn't line up no matter what I did. So, i took a clothe (to protect the nice finish) and my rubber mallet and hammered it out. It just took a few good hits to make up for the difference to line up the hitch. I'm thinking that it probably got out of line during the shipping process via UPS. Maybe thick pieces of styrofoam would've helped on both ends to prevent this from happening. Anyways, I mounted the hitch, torque the bolts to specs, and everything lined up perfectly. The hitch install was very easy and probably a 20 minute job with one person only. I really like the finish of the Curt hitch and the way it's constructed. It's very solid with a 2 bike rack carrier. I rated this to be four stars just because I had to hammer out the difference to make the hitch line up. Again, it's probably the shipping process via UPS. But then again, I believe if it was packaged and protected with the styrofoam pieces on the corners, the hitch wouldn't of become misaligned during the process. I read all the reviews and it looks like one other customer had the same issue. Thank you so much for the hitch etrailer. Here are pics that I took this morning mounted and cleaned of 2010 Honda Odyssey EXL.
My trailer hitch and wiring kit came to me undamaged in less than a week. I followed instructions on the hitch from etrailer. I installed in less than an hour. Fits nice and tight under the bumper. Wiring kit was easy as well. Found instructions on Utube.
Greetings As advertised (1) Clear orders instructions on your site. (2) Received my hitch in 6-7 days as promised (3) clear instructions indicating roughly 30 minutes to install (4) installed no problem (5) Class III 2" good to go Thanks to your staff Have a good day.
Jay D - 06/13/2017Installed on 2015 Honda Odyssey. Normally a two man job, but used a 6" X6" an a 4" X 6" to brace center (see pics) which allowed me to do it by my self. No jack or lift required, plenty of room under van. Hardest part was getting the 10mm bolt reinstalled for the dust cover. Instruction sheets and etrailer installation video are great help. Review before you start. Mostly this will be utilized for a handi-cap cart lift.
Went on fairly easy. I had to do a loaner torque wrench from our local auto parts store. Which they return the deposit when you bring it back. I also did have a little help from my 9 year old son. Total time to install took about 1 hour for me. I decided to trim the back fascia panel and put it back on so that took up about 20 minites of that time. One reason I chose this model from Curt was the ground clearance. We are planning a trip to Florida later this year and didn't want to take our Suburban. We already had a cargo rack and cargo bag, so this will work great for our luggage.
Hitch fits like a glove, bike rack fits perfect and the rear door clears the bike rack when it is tilted. I'm 75 and it took me, myself, and I 30 minutes to complete the install. I was NOT happy in the least with the UPS delivery service. I've lived at my address for almost 25 years and get 2 - 3 UPS deliveries a month. The driver supposedly tried to deliver the hitch 3 times but claimed my address was not good. I drove over to the UPS "Customer Service Center" earlier today and picked up the hitch. UPS had beaten the package up but everything was still inside and in reasonable shape, couple minor scratches. I did some touch up before installing. I'm not alone! When one googles the Forest Park GA UPS "Customer Service Center", a complete misnomer, ratings, its average rating is 2.5 Stars and if you read all of the 151 comments if most had a choice below a one they'd given it to the UPS Service Center. I give the Center NEGATIVE 5 Stars and the driver a NEGATIVE 10 stars.
Preston C - 08/21/2018Product was straightforward to install and seems to be working perfectly.
We bought a new (to us) Odyssey. Our last Odyssey gave us a great 11-12 years, and the hitch made family vacations all the more possible. I don't do my own car repairs, don't change my oil and don't didn't install the first hitch on our former car, but I wasn't that impressed with the hitch from the Orange moving/rental/storage company that sold and installed my first hitch. Someone recommended I check out etrailer.com. After reviewing a couple hitches, I chose this Curt Class III. The guys as etrailer rated the install as "easy" and gave both "pro install" and "DIY install" times. I found them helpful and accurate. Prompt shipping. Excellent customer service. The included instructions and video were easy to understand.
Product is very nicely painted and arrived well packed. The video directions provided by etrailer were fantastic. I didn’t even have to jack the vehicle up. At this point, summer 2020 on a 2014 Odyssey, you’re probably going to want to buy a tap for the captive nuts on your vehicle. WD40 and a brush were not sufficient to clean out the nuts. The ones on the exhaust side are open to the elements. Buy a M12 x 1.25mm tap and handle. I had to use a 6” extension from a socket set to clear the exhaust. After tapping the hitch went in no problem. Personally I don’t know why you’d buy a more expensive “hidden” hitch as this one is pretty nicely tucked up there. *Careful when buying things like bike racks though. The receiver is quite a ways from the end of the bumper. The driver’s side plastic guard will need some slight trimming to get it to fit back in place. I used a rotary tool and zipped off a bit of plastic. Pretty simple. *Note: As of this review I haven’t actually used the hitch yet.
Worked great easy to install.the hole for the hitch pin was to small
Sierra K - 12/27/2021Hitch arrived on time. Installation by Sube Shop was easy and not expensive. Hitch looks great & I won't bang my legs on it putting putting items into and taking them out of the van.
Mike M - 12/29/2018The hitch worked very well with my bike rack on out Odyssey. I also wanted to mention the quality of support. When I had an issue with my normal mechanic installing properly he advised on the risks of leaving it the way it was and connected me to a authorized installer which did a great job.
This is not the first nor will it be the last hitch I have purchased from etrailer. if this one performs like the previous ones then it is a durable solid hitch which hauls dirt bikes, kayaks, dirt, rocks, mulch & sand on short and long hauls without problems. If that isn't enough reason to get an etrailer hitch then they really look good, well secured & tucked away under both of our Honda Odyssey's. Easy to understand install instructions & neat little tools to make life better during the installation plus the online video if one needs them. All of the above and FAST shipping!
This is probably not etrailer’s fault, but when I got my hitch, it was warped. It was near impossible to put on our vehicle. After many many hours we finally got it on. Since then it’s been great, but installation was really painful.
Sierra K - 06/03/2021We are really pleased with this hitch. It was easy to install and looks great on the Odyssey. The most difficult part of installation was scrubbing out the mounting holes on the van. We ended up using some wire brushes from a gun cleaning kit. Just takes a little elbow grease (why they don't put plastic plugs in while being manufactured is beyond me-it can't save that much money).
This 2" hitch works great on our current model (2015) Honda Odyssey - we use it mainly for a Yakima Ridgeback 4-bike rack. This is our 2nd rack from etrailer.com - great delivery and wonderful customer service.
Rock solid after 1 year. After going on long trips I worry that somehow this hitch gets loose or damaged. Put 10k miles with bikes on and it’s just as tight and shiny as the day i installed it. If there was another hitch acceptor in my van I’d definitely buy another one.
This was great. We wanted a hitch on the van so we could easily attach a bike rack. The hitch arrived with easy to follow instructions and the online videos helped even more. I rented a DIY shop space with a lift, and two friends helped me. The whole process took about 1 hour and included the lift setup and orientation portion by the DIY shop personnel. You could install without a lift, but it was much easier to use the DIY shop space and they also had the required trim tool, torque wrench, and other useful equipment which made the work quite easy. The hitch fit perfect. We decided to cut about 1" of the trim on the left underside of the van so we could reinstall it, but the right side has the exhaust and doesn't have trim anyway. I believe the installation video and instructions didn't indicate installing the left underside, but sheet metal snips made short work of trimming it enough to install again. It looks really clean and sits flush.
Very solid hitch for my 2006 Honda Odyssey. About as hidden as I could hope for as the van has no space to tuck one out of sight with the tub for the folding rear seat right behind the bumper. Receiver sits about an inch further under the car than the bumper, so I have never banged my shin on it. Easy install.
Fit perfectly on our 2009 Odyssey. Just make sure to do like others have said and run a tap through the threads before installing the hitch... we lived for 10 years where there is no rust, or salt on the roads and I STILL felt like I was going to strip the threads on the van by just using the supplied bolts after wire brushing the holes... after using a tap, the bolts went in no problem. Fit and finish is good on this hitch. The design "flows" with the rear of the Odyssey and it looks good!
