Comparing Draw-Tite and Curt Class III Trailer Hitches for a 2020 Honda Odyssey
Question:
wanting to install a class 3 hitch on my 2020 Odyssey. what are the differences between the etrailer, draw tite, and curt trailer hitches, and what do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
All of the etrailer and Curt Class III trailer hitches that fit your 2020 Honda Odyssey either meet or exceed the max towing capacity for your vehicle, so it really boils down to the design of the trailer hitch and what you plan on using it for.
I recommend using the Draw-Tite # 76170 because it has a hidden crosstube which gives you a great looking end-result and better ground clearance since only the receiver is visible.
The etrailer # e98855 and the Curt # C13370 have the standard trailer hitch design where the crosstube is visible. These are much easier to install but they do limit ground clearance a bit. Out of these 2 I recommend the etrailer because it has the higher weight capacity which indicates a stronger hitch.
I have attached installation videos so you can get a good idea of what they will look like on your 2020 Odyssey. If you let me know what you plan on using the trailer hitch for I can make additional recommendations if necessary.
