All of the hitches for your 2014 Honda Odyssey will require some minor rear fascia trimming to install. My favorite hitch to recommend though is the Draw Tite part # 76025 as it only has the hitch tube that hangs below the rear bumper. This makes it quite a bit less visible than the other available hitches. The install is pretty basic for a mechanic which means that any local mechanic to you would have no problem installing it.

I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 118521 which I attached an install video for as well.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in 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 include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
