Easy bolt-on to my 2020 Honda Odyssey. Hitch has performed well, hasn’t budged even after taking four bikes on a rack from Ohio to Georgia and back.

Wow that's quite the adventure Brian! I'm so glad to hear this withstood the long trip for you and your crew :) Any upcoming explorations planned for this summer?



by:

Super easy to install. Did not have to jack the vehicle up. Instructions were clear and accurate. Although I did unhook the exhaust from the rubber hanger to give me more room to access and tighten the bolts. From start to finish, about an hour to install.
Clean finish, does not protrude beyond the bumper.

It looks great, Tim! Thanks for sending along the photos - its nice to see the finished product :)



by:

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.

Everything worked great for a 2025 Odyssey. Was able to bolt the exhaust side without removing muffler mount. On the other side, the panel that comes on the van from factory comes out easily and has a trim out panel to accommodate this hitch. Cut that off the panel and it allows reinstallation of the guard/panel after the hitch is bolted on. The box that the hitch shipped in was just about the perfect height to support the hitch and slide it into place. Put the hitch on the empty box to help with the install. Worked great!

The ordering process is so absolutely easy with trailer and they carry just about anything you could ever need when it comes to pulling a trailer. And they provide easy to follow step by step install instructions if you need them. Pricing is very competitive and you get free shipping and guarantees

This hitch receiver was installed on a 2025 Honda Odyssey in the driveway. The installation videos on etrailer really helped prepare for the installation and ensure that the right tools were available for the job. Seems like a good product, it was delivered well-packaged and with all the necessary mounting hardware. Thanks etrailer!

So easy to install !!! Worked out great in pulling our trailer for our camping trip.

Very good hitch and holes all lined up correctly; instructive video great, fastener package all good. Absolutely no regrets. It is definitely a two man job.



by:

Everything arrived on time and was installation was exactly how the video described it.



by:

There have been a couple times where the hitch has scraped the ground with going down steep driveways. I wish I had invested a little more into a hitch that does not come beneath the bumper. Other than that it has been very stable and a good investment



by:

If you've ordered many auto parts you know the struggle of aftermarket interface. This is one of the few items you won't have to worry about. The install was easier than an oil change and fit my van like Honda manufactured it themselves. Great item!

Really happy to hear that this was an easy project for you '24 Honda Odyssey, Cody. What do you use the hitch for?



by:

Products arrived rapidly. Included documentation and on-line videos made it a straightforward installation. High quality hardware. Helpful salesperson.



by:

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.

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.

Easy install. Looks good on vehicle. Took me 20 min on 6 inches ramp to install it. Probably need extra set of hands just to put one bolt in on each side. But the product is great. First time buyer.

  • Is There A Trailer Hitch For A 2024 Honda Odyssey That Won't Interfere With Hands-Free Sensors
    Hi Shay, The trailer hitch sits within the radius of the sensors so it will block their ability to sense your foot. No matter which hitch you choose the receiver tube will unfortunately interfere. Typically you just need to wave your foot on either side of the receiver tube a bit to find the sweet spot where the sensors can see you. You could go with the Hidden Hitch # DT76GR and remove the receiver tube when not in use to limit the interference with the sensors. That hitch is obviously...

  • What is Difference Between Curt C64NR Hitch and etrailer Hitch that Fit 2019 Honda Odyssey
    The main differences between the two 2 inch hitches that fit your 2019 Honda Odyssey is that the # e98855 is a bit easier to install whereas the # C64NR is much less visible since only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper which also greatly increase ground clearance. I would go with the # e98855 for the easier install if you don't mind it being seen!

  • Parts Needed for Tow Package for 2020 Honda Odyssey
    Hey David, so the etrailer hitch part # e98855 is the correct place to start for a tow package but everything else is sold separately as not everyone ends up needing all of the components. So next you'll want trailer wiring and for that the best option is the Tekonsha part # 118781 which installs the easiest and has the most reliable converter box.

  • Should Trailer Hitch on 2019 Honda Odyssey be Moving
    Hi Kevin, The Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98855 should definitely not be moving at all. I'm a bit confused though as you mention the bolts are tight, but if they are fully torqued I can't envision how the hitch is moving in that manner. I've never heard of a hitch doing this, can you see if the frame is flexing somewhat on your Odyssey by chance?

The Curt # C64NR is less visible with only the receiver opening sticking out from under the rear of the van. The etrailer Hitch, # e98855, actually sits lower and the cross tube can be seen under the bumper of the Odyssey. This hitch will give you less ground...
