This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your Honda Odyssey's frame with no welding required. Matte black, powder coated steel is durable and corrosion resistant and creates a rugged look.
Features:
Specs:
The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.
At etrailer we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers. The one-on-one, personal service you'll receive comes straight from an expert in the towing and automotive field. We've installed it, we've wired it and we've towed with it, so whatever your question, we can answer it.
Tech Tip
Some models have underbody fascia covering the driver side frame. This will be removed and can be left off or trimmed and reattached. No drilling required for installation

Excellent quality, easy to install.
very nice and easy to install,customer sevice was excellent.i will recommend this to my friend...
nice hitch easy to put on.30 min. to in stall
The original hitch arrived packed loosely in plastic and was damaged with lots of scrapes and exposed metal. I contacted customer service and they sent a second hitch with no questions asked. The second hitch arrived well packed in a cardboard box with bracing inside. The hitch was is excellent condition.It took me a little under an hour to install the hitch myself from opening the box to putting away the tools. You can install the hitch without lowering the exhaust, but you have to be a little creative with the wrench angles. I was also able to reinstall the plastic fairing on the drivers side by trimming it back a bit to get around the hitch. There's a little reinforcing rib that is perfect to cut along.Overall I am pleased with the hitch (we'll see how it goes through a few winters though) and the ease of installation. While the condition of the first hitch was disappointing, I am happy with how the situation was handled.
Very happy with this purchase. Instructions were great and the fit and finish were perfect. Highly recommended.
Excellent product and installation inst ructions.
The installation took much longer then 40 minutes..
Fits perfect. I like that the ends are not open. Great communication from etrailer retailer.
Super fast delivery! Excellent communication!! Provided instruction were simple!!! Installation took about 15 minutes ( including the wiring hook-up).
Easy to install, fit perfect. Wiring was easy too. Appreciate the online instructional videos, couldn't figure out all the written instructions...
No complaints. Hitch goes on easy. The video tutorial is a great help.I decided to trim and re-install the drivers side plastic panel that has to be removed. Trimmed off about 1 inch wide by 4 inches long. Went back in very easy.
This product was installation friendly for my 07 Odyssey and all I did was just bolt it on without having to move or remove anything like the video showed. It took me 15 minutes and the product was well designed to fit.
Product was as advertised. If we had know wharves were doing installation might have gotten done in the half hour they allotted.the hitch looks good and I am satisfied with everything. Delivery was fadyervthan I had epected and quality looks good too. Would gladly do business with them again.
You are great! Hitch arrived in perfect condition in two days. Installation simple done without help in less than 30 minutes. Instructions were clear and photos big help. Thanks!
I received my items in 3 days. The customer service reps were very helpful. They even verified that the products I was ordering would indeed fit on my minivan! The items came with color photos and EASY to follow instructions for installation which were again specific to my minivan! Everything was very easy to install and I was very pleased with all aspects of the service and the products! If I ever need anything of this nature again, I will not waste time shopping anywhere else! Highly recommend this company1
Product was just what I ordered. Arrived promptly. Easy to track. Came complete with the necessary hardware and instructions. There is also an instruction video online that made it even simplier. I plan to order more products from etrailer in the future.
Great hitch,fits tight to bumper and looks great.Only thing I would suggest is a tap be included in hardware!! The bolt holes on my 2005,after 6 years in New England, were rusted over badly. After tapping them, the job went smooth though.Unless your van is like new or you live where it doesnt cause rust, do yourself a favor and get a 12x1.25 tap and re-tap the holes first.
Hitch came as advertised. Installed it over the weekend. Directions were very clear. If the threads on my 12 year old vehicle were not rusted, I would have had it installed in 10 minutes. The wiring harness was also simple to install!
The ordering process was smooth and simple. The hitch and wiring harness were shipped ahead of schedule. The packaging was adequate with no damage. The instructions that were included were easy to follow. It helped to watch the videos that were available on the website. I would recommend this company in the future.
My order arrived very promptly. Hardware included a bolt that was poorly threaded which I replaced with one I purchased from the local hardware store. Installation was fairly easy, I wished I had a hoist and an extra set of hands. I do believe some of the other hitch designs are better. Had I looked closer at all of the products, I may have chosen the Hidden Hitch unit instead. However, for the bike rack use and light towing I intend to use this for, I am sure it will work just fine.
I ordered the hitch receiver to attach a bike rack to our '08 Honda Odyssey. I got tired of the marks the bike tires and pedals left on the vehicle due to rubbing with our old rack.The hitch receiver was delivered very quickly and installation was simple. The installation videos posted on etrailer.com were helpful and accurate. The printed instrutions included with the product were clear and accurate to my vehicle. It took me about 35 minutes to get the hitch installed.The qaulity of the hitch receiver exceeds my current needs as I am only attaching a bike rack and not towing anything heavy, but it seems to be extremely well-constructed. The steel seems to be very heavy-duty and all of the welds look to be well-done.
So far so good. Took approximately an hour to install, including unpacking the hitch and cleaning out the weld nuts. While potentially possible to install on your own with strategically placed supports, it's more realistic to install with two people, even if one of them is just lifting, steadying, and holding the hitch in place while you do all the work. Everything lined up perfectly. Didn't even need to put the van up on ramps. Trimmed the plastic fascia on the driver side as shown in the video instructions and worked like a charm to reinstall.
Test fit our bike rack (which is our primary intended use) and everything fit snuggly. So far, very happy with the purchase.
Fit great on 2014 Honda Odyssey. Bolted up easily. The exhaust has enough flex to allow you to get to your socket and extension on that side so don’t bother removing it from the hanger. The fish wire worked awesome. Cool trick we use in aircraft maintenance also.

Still very happy with the hitch. We use it for our bike rack and it handles the weight of 4 bikes plus the rack and still feels secure. No complaints. Wish I bought it earlier in the vans life!
