Expert Reply:

With Curt trailer hitch # C13370 installed on your 2018 Honda Odyssey the Hands-free Liftgate sensor areas may be limited to areas away from the center where hitch receiver opening is located but not completely block them.

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

And for trailer wiring you can use T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector Item # 118753 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle.
