Highest Ground Clearance Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2022 Honda Odyssey

Question

Question:

We are about to get a 2022 Honda Odyssey and I've been driving an SUV....Kids. My concern is the rural area we live in and dragging the trailer hitch on rough roads. We need a hitch for our bike rack....kids. What hitch has the most ground clearance? Every little bit will possibly help.

For your 2022 Honda Odyssey, the hitch with best ground clearance will be the Draw-Tite # 76170. This will provide about 12 inches of ground clearance under the receiver tube and since the crossbar is tucked up behind the bumper/fascia it is barely visible. Take a look at the attached image. If you get into something deep enough to drag the trailer hitch, it is probably better to do that than dragging the rear facia and damaging the body panel of your new Honda. This adds to the installation difficulty but really helps provide additional ground clearance.

If you still have concerns, I suggest you consider the # UF48-979020. This roller installs around the receive tube and is held in place by a standard hitch pin such as the, # PC3. The roller will take the brunt of the impact, and will roll rather than drag and scrape to protect your hitch.

For your 2024 Honda Odyssey I would recommend the Hidden Hitch part #DT76GR if you wanted a totally hidden hitch that has a removable lower opening. This would give you a totally hidden hitch when not in use but it does cost a bit more. For a similar…

Typically (at least up until now) the biggest benefit of a factory trailer hitch was that they tended to have a more hidden design, thus providing an overall cleaner appearance at the rear of the vehicle for a "from-the-factory" look. The…

The steel rollers really all do the same thing, the main difference in all the options you see is how they mount. If you have a trailer hitch with 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" crosstube or 3" x 3" crosstube then the best option is the…

The inside width of the Ultra-Fab Steel Roller for RVs, #UF48-979020, is 2-1/2 inches, the standard outside width of a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver tube. From the center of the hole in the bracket to the edge of the bracket is approximately 1 inch.…

Answer 11

Since the location of your hitch pin hole and the safety chain tabs don't allow you to use a skid wheel like part #UF48-979020 or #RM-050, the only other option that may work is if you welded a skid wheel like part #UF48-979021 onto the bottom of…

Answer 12

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
