Difference Between Tekonsha and Curt Trailer Wiring Harness for 2020 Honda Odyssey

Question

Question:

I need a 4-way trailer wiring connector for my 2020 Honda Odyssey. Can you tell me what the difference is between the curt and tekonsha kits? Or is it just brand, etc? Do you have a recommendation? Thank you!

Both the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118781 and the Curt # C56382 T-Connector are custom harnesses designed specifically for your 2020 Odyssey, and will plug into the same factory port behind the driver side trim panel. In terms of function and install these are identical, however I do recommend the Tekonsha # 118781 because it features a higher amp capacity and a superior converter box, which has proven to have a longer lifespan than those from other manufacturers.

I have attached an installation video on the 2019 model Odyssey that you can also use for reference. The install process on your 2020 model will be exactly the same.
