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.

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.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.
Regan - 05/22/2021This hitch is of excellent quality, it fit perfectly on our 2019 Honda Odyssey, and it looks very nice on the car. Through the years I've installed many trailer hitches on various vehicles, and this was by far one of the easier installations. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Everything we needed was provided with the hitch. We didn't even need to jack up the car, there was plenty of room to work. We chose not to unfasten the exhaust pipe at the rear of the car as was recommended; we just worked around it and tightened the bolts on that side with a wrench rather than with a socket. The installation took a little longer than the 30 minutes they said it would; but I like to take my time as I work to be sure I'm getting everything right. I highly recommend this hitch.
Hitch arrived quickly. The installation videos showed exactly how to do it. It installed relatively easy. Admittedly, when they have a lift, all the proper tools, and experience doing it many time it makes it a whole lot easier. But even for me doing it for my first time I was able to take care of it without any major problems.
Aaron L - 05/18/2021I'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.
WOW, much better than I expected, as i purchased the lower cost hitch. The metal is as thick and just as strong for the usage I needed. The kit provided all the hardware needed to install the hitch and I completed in about an hour or so. I did the job myself and I have no nerves in both hands so starting screws was harder. I even sprayed rustproofing at contact points and then sprayed all the hardware to create a longer time frame for the hitch. The only thing I was disappointed in was the shipping time, not company fault, Covid-45 thing. Then they tried to upgrade hitch to others in stock for the higher price.
Exactly as promised and just got it installed yesterday! Looks great. I really appreciated the in-depth review and video in helping me chose the right one for my vehicle and even between the various models. I ended up going with the etrailer version not only for the price (and availability) but it's matte black and not shiny as some of the others and a little less visible, and it has a higher towing capacity than the hidden hitches.
I was very pleased with how solid the hitch was. It’s obviously not solid steel (as it’s hallow throughout) but the construction is of solid steel with great welds. Also, it was incredibly easy to install. You’ll read that people have said they trimmed the little driver side panel that pops out after you remove the fasteners. We did this as well by simply using a razor blade. Also, it’s worth noting that installing on the passenger side, you’ll have to work around the exhaust pipe as the bolt holes sit right above the exhaust. We had to push the exhaust to the side and hold it there while we were tightening the screws. Lastly, if you want to do it right you’ll need to buy, rent, or borrow a torque wrench so that you can ensure the bolts are tightened to specifications.
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.
3rd receiver from etrailer and they have all been great. This was an easy install on 2021 Odyssey. 1 hr by myself used the box it came with and a few pieces of wood too prop it into place. Did not remove exhaust which was kind of a pain to work around but I didn't want to mess with the hangers. You can pull the tail pipe to the side as you tighten bolts. Had to trim the corner of the plastic trim on driver side to put it back on.
Hitch was what I expected. Installation was a bit troublesome since the written instructions said nothing about removing muffler from the hanger. So you can install working around muffler but it can be difficult. Overall very pleased with product.
The hitch came with everything I needed to install it and the installation was very simple. The only suggestion I have is to include a template for cutting the back driver side mud flap on the Odessey. This template is not a necessity but would be appreciated.
The hitch fit perfectly and the directions (including the video) were clear. I suggest taking a lot of time to clean out the welded nuts (get a good tap and die toolset to clean the nuts). I had 1 break off the weld and that took a long time to fix.
It installed in 20 minutes looks like original Honda equipment ordering was very easy by car specific and delivery was on time we are very happy
Very easy to install instructions included are easy to follow. With a small cut from the driver side panel that is removed for install you can place it back in place once the hitch is installed.
Very happy with hitch and easy install on our 2019 honda odyssey. I'm a little spoiled in that I have a lift, but even installing it on the ground is an easy task. The quality of the product is definitely top notch with no problems with fastener alignment. The finish so far is holding up very well, and is of a tougher grade than regular paint on other brands which doesn't hold up very well. Inconspicuous, well no, but haven't seen one that isn't. Besides, if you are driving a mini van, you aren't worried about looking sexy. I would definitely recommend this product. One other note is the 2 inch box instead of 1 1/2 inch, surely many folks will be using a hitch haul or bike carrier, and the 2 inch is much more stable. Don't let anyone tell you just to use an adapter if you install a 1 1/2 inch box hitch.
Easy to install, but I took it a step further. Instructions say to run the wire out the door, and close the door on the wire. I removed the brake/directional light and ran the wire out an unused panel plug, then down under the bumper. This will take an extra 30 minutes but all the wires will be hidden.
Hitch was well packaged, arrived with no visible damage, but didn't fit. Rather frustrating to lower the exhaust and get one side up, only to undo everything when I realized that the holes didn't line up. Did not come with a drawing or dimensions to confirm intended fit. Got it on after bending out the driver's side flange about 1/2" -- no easy task.
So far so good. Easy install with the included instructions and video.
Yes, trailer hitch is working well. Good value. You have a quality control problem with Mfg. The bolts that come down from the frame wouldn’t go through the opening. I though I was doing something wrong. Had to watch the video a couple of times and determined that the hole was to small. Had the file it a little to get the bolts in place. Instead of taking 30 mins I spend two hours playing around with this issue until I was able to resolve it. Little frustrating to say the least.
Victoria B - 01/24/2020Easy install following the video instructions. Backed the Odyssey up onto ramps and had plenty of room to install the hitch. The only issue was the printed directions gave torque specs for 7/16 and 12mm bolts but my van had 17mm and 19mm bolts.
D. W - 04/13/2020Very happy with purchase. Hitch is grea t.
Jason W - 04/28/2021What's really easy install looks like it is really well-made disappointed with the scratches in the hitch from shipping
Tyler M - 06/14/2021I have been very happy with the hitch.
Arrived on time with everything needed to mount this hitch on our 2018 Honda Odyssey. Watched the installation video and was able to install it myself after the guy that services my car said he couldn't do it. Took all of 20 minutes and minimal tools. Maybe time to find a new service guy. I was worried I would have to drop the tail pipe as per the video but I was actually able to install it without doing that - choosing to use a wrench on that side instead of a socket set.
Easy installation , perfect fit, mounts under bumper in an unobtrusive way. Very satisfied!
