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.

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.

This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Matte black, powder coated steel is durable and corrosion resistant and creates a rugged look.
We have had this on our vehicle for close to a year now. It is low profile, which is extremely important with how low the Odyssey sits. It has not affected our ride height at all. We used it for a few camping trips. It holds a good deal of weight from our cargo rack. Also, the customer service is phenomenal, which makes a big difference for us. This is the second time we have purchased hitch kits through etrailer.We are returning customers because of the price and customer service. Will probably buy another hitch/hitch receiver from them for whatever vehicle we purchase next. Highly recommend.
It’s a beautiful trailer hitch and a wonderful experience ordering from etrailer!! I highly recommend and actually look forward to ordering and putting another one on in the future! Thank you!!
Sold can before putting the hitch on and now I have the hitch and nothing at it fits.
I’ve been an e-trailer customer multiple times. I’ve never been disappointed and love the videos- particularly regarding installation. The amount of money I’ve saved doing things myself is amazing, and I’ve always been impressed with how quickly things arrive. Great products and even better video explanations.
Easy to install. About 30 min. Used WD40 and channel locks to get the exhaust bracket free to make it a little easier. Reverse fish for
Bolts is cool.
I was concerned because the hitch was hanging out of the torn cardboard box that it shipped in but all of the parts were there and it bolted on as it should. It appears to be heavy duty and well made.
The reason for the average rating right NOW is I have not opened and the box yet to see the Hitch but the box itself arrived really tore up and taped up like maybe it had been opened and retaped up or damaged in shippin I I can only say from what I can see from the box and part of the hitch was exposed but I do not believe there is any damage to it.
Product arrived within 4 days after ordering late Friday afternoon during Quarantine season. Packaged well and no damage to the paint was found on the hitch. I installed the receiver hitch on my 2019 Honda Odyssey with my 14 year old son without issues. I bought the hitch specifically to put on a 2 bike rack. The etrailer video installation instructions available on onlinefor this exact hitch for the 2019 Odyssey is extremely helpful and spot on. Very happy overall with the experience and product.
2022 Odyssey. Installed it by myself in my driveway, took less than an hour. I deviated a little from the excellent video: drivers side, i didn’t completely remove the splash guard, i removed the first 3 fasteners and used a pair of aviation snips to cut away the part that was in the way. At first i didn’t drop the tailpipe, it seemed too difficult. And I was able slide the hitch bracket over the pipe and rest it there while i did the drivers side.
I had a problem getting the 4 bolts started because the fit was so close, so i used a grinder to make a small chamfer on the end of the bolts so they aligned with the holes more easily.
I really struggled to get the bolts in place above the tailpipe, so finally i dropped the pipe. It was easier than i thought, and putting it back on the hanger was a piece of cake.
The other thing i did differently was to add a smear of loctite on the bolts.
Overall i am very happy with the hitch.
I have used the trailer system more then a duzzen times since I bought it. It has been strong, reliable, and was easy to install. I recommend this unit to anyone that needs a little more space for there Honda Odyssey.
Really like it. Easy to install, minus having to retap passenger side bolt holes. I used cinder blocks and spare pieces of wood to level and put into position. It was delivered quickly however the box was opened and torn up upon delivery however no marks on the item. The instruction videos were fantastic, however I’d like to see more trouble shooting such as moving the muffler or bolt issues. It helps users see the issues they can encounter and help them make a more informed decision. Overall, very happy. Haven’t used it yet. Bought a carrier for camping so that’s why we needed the hitch.
Great hitch design, instructions for install made installation easy. This is my fourth etrailer hitch with 800k miles driven.
Excellent! Very easy to install as the vehicle was brand new and the OEM provided bolt lugs were clean. Used the provide instructions as well as YouTube videos. Have installed a couple of these so had some familiarity for the process.
Ease of installation and quality coating on a hitch itself.
I installed this hitch on a 2023 Honda Odyssey, and it works great.
The install was pretty straight forward. I did have to cut some plastic shielding, but the online videos walked me through the process.
(Tip, use a ratchet strap to pull the muffler out of the way if you're doing this by yourself.)
Easy install, functional, and priced right!
I was very pleased with this trailer hitch. It cost a couple hundred and my brother and I were able to securely install it in less than an hour, versus the thousand quoted by Honda for the same function. The instructions were extremely clear. If you know what a socket wrench is, I think you'd find this a very accessible DIY. You need the tools yourself, including phillips and flat head screwdrivers, socket wrench, and ideally a monkey wrench to tighten the above exhaust bolts.
Shopping was easy as you can shop by vehicle make and model. Shipping was quick, and the install was no hassle. Lots of support videos on their website got me through the install in about 35 minutes.
Nice looking, visible only from behind. Heavy. Somehow easy to install. Driver side, no problem. Passenger side needs more explanation how to tie the bolts without removing the exhaust. (I use only flat wrench on this side). 90 minutes job without jacking my van. Only need 2 people for the 1st bolt. Need to try with cargo carrier.
Once we figured out what we were doing by watching videos, it was fairly easy. On the 2021 Honda Odyssey Elite specifically, you have to remove the underside panel by the push buttons and it’s also connected to the wheel well with a screw. As for the opposite side, taking the exhaust off would make it a lot easier to get those bolts on. We have not used it yet with the cargo carrier but we will soon. It also arrived a little scratched up but I’m sure that happens during the shipping.

I will have our customer service team reach out to you.
I installed a hitch receiver on a 2008 Honda Odyssey a few years ago all went well and was able to tow without any problems a boat and small trailer I decided to install another one on a 2020 I recently purchased and it went as smoothly as the first I encourage other DIYers to use Trailer as well...it's never let me down.
The installation was very easy. Instruction videos were great. Install took about 30 minutes.
I'm glad that I came across the etrailer website and purchased the trailer hitch for my Honday Odyssey 2019. The hitch is attached to the car snuggly and looks neat on the car. It looks very sturdy but weighs only 36 lbs. A couple of notes for future buyers:
* As mentioned by some other reviews, it does seem to be the case that the sensor for the hands-free trunk opening (i.e., by swinging your leg underneath the back of the car) is blocked by this hitch. I personally don't use that feature a lot so I'm not bothered by this.
* Although I see myself as a pretty hands-on person, the installation is clearly beyond me. I cannot even take down the panel due to the extremely tight hex screw on the car. I also cannot imagine myself lifting up this hitch and fit it to the car while lying down on the ground, with just < 1 foot of clearance. I had it installed in a car body shop with a reasonable price.
This was one of the easiest purchases I have made. The hitch fit perfectly and without issue. I plan to buy another one here soon! High quality, products, and easy to install.
I am pleased with the receiver and the transaction. I installed on 2023 Odyssey by myself in about an hour. The video instructions were mostly in line with what I experienced. I had to make a small modification to the driver side splash guard to accommodate the receiver. This required me to cut about 1/4" slot out of the splash guard in order for the plastic rivets to line up. I used a utility knife to make the cut. Overall it is a pretty straightforward install. I do not plan to tow with this but rather attach cargo racks, bike racks, etc. I am pleased with the product and shipping time was very quick given the size/weight of the box. Thank you!!
The hitch fit, no tears, very good video on the internet by you folks. It looks very well made. It took me 30 minutes to do it from start to finish. Genius idea on the spring to hold the third screw. Would certainly purchase from you again. Thank you.

It’s been a year and hitch works great for my Kuat 2 bike carrier. The 2 inch hitch is solid and stable for my mountain bike carrier. Paint still looks brand new on the hitch matte black. Would purchase again.
