Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Honda Odyssey that Allows Use of Hands-Free Liftgate

Updated 06/05/2018 | Published 06/04/2018

Question:

Id like to use the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76171 for my Odyssey Elite. I do NOT want to buy the wiring kit/antenna from Honda that they require to still be able to use the hands-free tailgate. I love that feature, though. Did I read somewhere from you guys that you dont need it? Can I just install with the existing hands-free antenna system and itll work fine?

The etrailer hitch part # e98855 is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Honda Odyssey and will allow the use of the hands free liftgate as well but you'll have to kick to either side of the hitch opening. So you would not need to but a separate wiring harness.
