Question:

What is the difference between the Class III Curt 76170 or Curt C13370 for the 2020 Honda Odyssey? I don't plan on towing but would like a hitch for a bike rack that I am researching. I am looking at the Inno Tire hold for my Boardman Road Team Carbon Bike

The biggest difference between the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch part # 76170 and Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" part # C13370 for the 2020 Honda Odyssey is the Draw-Tite is a concealed cross tube design so the only portion of the hitch that is visible once installed is the receiver square for a nice OEM look compared to the Curt's visible cross tube. The Draw-Tite also provides about 1" more ground clearance than the Curt option so accessories like the Inno Tire Hold Bike Rack part # INH120 wont come into contact with the ground so the Draw-Tite is the best option for your Honda Odyssey carrying a bike rack.

The Inno Tire Hold 2 Bike Platform Rack is a great option for the Boardman Road Team Carbon Bike because it is a wheel mount rack so it carries the bikes by their wheels instead of the delicate carbon frame to prevent damage or scratching. The rack also comes with the bike and hitch lock so you don't have to worry about those. The locking hand knob makes it easy to tighten the rack to the hitch compared to other racks that use a locking pin which is susceptible to wobble and rattling noise. I have attached a video for your reference.
