This custom-fit trailer hitch with a hidden cross tube installs behind your Honda Odyssey's rear bumper, leaving only the receiver visible beneath it. Aluminum and steel alloy construction is durable and eco-friendly. Powder coat finish resists rust.
Features:
Specs:
The EcoHitch Hidden trailer hitch is designed to be as inconspicuous as possible. The hitch's cross tube bolts onto your vehicle's frame, behind your rear bumper. No drilling or welding is required. Once the hitch is installed, only the receiver will be visible beneath your bumper. This means that your vehicle can maintain its stylish, from-the-factory look, and you won't have to do any major modifications to its body or frame.
With a combination of aerospace-grade aluminum, steel, and stainless steel, each EcoHitch is made of a strong metal alloy that will withstand the test of time. The lightweight alloy is composed of recycled materials. Traditional steel hitch manufacturing can use coal or oil, which can contribute to harmful gas emissions. The EcoHitch's recycled materials limit the carbon footprint during manufacturing, so you get a sturdy trailer hitch while also helping the environment.
This EcoHitch trailer hitch is tested for durability and sturdiness. Using Finite Elemental Analysis (FEA), individual points of stress on the hitch can be detected and remedied. Designers can accurately test the hitch to ensure that it will meet or exceed SAE J684 standards. The EcoHitch Hidden trailer hitch is carefully researched and strength tested for a durable, high-quality hitch that can resist damage while on the road.

This custom-fit trailer hitch with a hidden cross tube installs behind your vehicle's rear bumper, leaving only the receiver visible beneath it. Aluminum and steel alloy construction is durable and eco-friendly. Powder coat finish resists rust.Quick delivery and packaged well. Hitch was well manufactured and finished. Kit was short two lock washers but did include a bolt fisher. etrailer install video for the 2018 Odyssey was easy to follow. I would recommend running a thread tap through the nuts welded to the frame before installing the bolts.

One year later, very happy with fitfinish. Use regularly with a bike rake. Especially like how the hitch hides behind the bumper and is really barely noticeable. Sits high enough that we dont have to worry when exiting steep drives.
I was actually going to order the other hidden hitch option but this was a quicker delivery which I required.
As mentioned by a previous customer the size of the cut out should be 5.5 inches, not 4' as stated. At least on a 2021 Odyssey.
The other direction quirk is that it calls for an additional cutout for the exhaust protector on the "bumper fascia." It also includes a small closeup picture of where to cut. But this picture doesn't match anything on my car. And because its a close up I really have no idea if its part of the bumper or what. It may be that Honda changed its design, but I struggled to find where I was supposed to make the second cut and then simply ignored that step. There is a pinch point on the driver side where which, if one is unaware, makes it slightly challenging to reinstall the bumper. The bumper sits flush to the hitch and a separate splash "shield" that needs to be reinstalled between these two points. It is too tight and I solved this by trimming that part of the shield that would have made contact with the hitch. Other than that, I would say it looks %100 better than my previous model that was fully exposed under the frame. Once your spouse gets over the shock of having their new car in pieces in your garage, the install is pretty straightforward and all the Honda pins and screws are easily removed and reinstalled.

Excellent!!! We just got a 2924 and are ordering the same product
I have no real skills but was able to install this thing following the install video. Works great for our purposes of having additional storage or a bike rack and it's high enough I'm not worried about it hitting the ground. Very pleased with the product.
Fits my 2021 Honda Odyssey Elite as expected. Hardest part was taking off the bumper! Make sure you have time to install it. Cannot attest to the pulling performance, but it has taken my 4-bike Thule bike rack with no issues.
Shipping was super fast and FREE!!! etrailer provides great installation videos to help demonstrate the entire process. As others have mentioned, I also had to trim a little more off the bumper cover than the recommended measurements. It took me about an hour from start to finish. My wife was against adding a hitch receiver to her van because they're typically bulky but the EcoHitch was a good compromise she was okay with.
Great product, but by far the most helpful thing was the installation video etrailer put on YouTube for my specific vehicle. That gave me the confidence to install the hidden hitch myself.
Hitch installed perfectly! Only had to make one minor adjustment. The short cutout in the bumper needs to be 5.5 inches instead of 4.5.
I had a good day. Delighted with the hitch install, and smoked a brisket on my Big Green Egg for dinner.
Everything are good except the two plates doesn't fit through the hole. I have to get a replacement from [hardware store] to avoid the delay of my installation.
Hitch hardware was loose in the box when it arrived. Missing multiple hardware items and the loose items in the box scratched the hitch receivers paint.

Oh my goodness! It seems that the hitch had quite the journey to your doorstep. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. We will have the hardware sent out. I recommend touching up the hitch with a rust resistant paint. We can also have that sent out to you.
Purchased for a 2021 Honda Odyssey. Item was on backorder at time of purchase; communication during wait period and shipping was clear and timely. Product arrived with some minor scratching in areas, not affecting function at all. We touched up with some black spray paint before installing to minimize future rust. We followed the install video, segment by segment, and had the trailer hitch installed in 3 hours. Cut-out for the hitch plate was a bit off, but not visible at all since it's on the underside of the bumper. Follow the cut-out size as recommended by other reviews (sorry, I forgot the dimensions as I am now writing this several months after the install). I am very pleased with the concealed look. Also, I have not yet scraped the receiver on any driveway/lot aprons, which happened often with an exposed hitch that I had on my (old 2005) Toyota Sienna. Definitely pleased with the product, customer service, and install video. I would order again.
This hitch is clearly excellent quality and came packaged well. Installation was very straight forward and the hitch went on without any trouble. We tested it with a drive from CA to KS and back and it performed as expected. Good customer service as well with follow ups to make sure I am happy with the product. 100% would recommend!!!
Just had it installed on my 2021 odyssey. Looks good and well made. Wish i had read the instructions before buying, because i missed the part that says that you need a fish wire for one of the bolts. Was able to improvise.
So easy to install. Watched the youtube video and that certainly made it super easy.
Better than expected - heavy
Great hitch... way stronger than I thought it would be... perfect!
Good product
