Question:

I have a 2019 Odyssey. Wondering if I should go with a factory hitch or aftermarket. What are the differences?

We have a really nice selection of aftermarket trailer hitches available that are confirmed to fit your 2019 Honda Odyssey. The biggest difference between an OEM hitch and most aftermarket units is that a factory hitch will typically be a bit more hidden with just the receiver exposed. The good news is that Draw-Tite is aware of this difference so they designed a hitch with the part # 76170 that features the same hidden crosstube appearance when installed. This Class III hitch is confirmed to fit your 2019 Honda Odyssey and has a 3,500 pound towing weight capacity. It is also quite a bit more cost-friendly when compared to the OEM hitches available from Honda.

I have attached an installation video on the 2018 model Odyssey that you can use for reference.
