Expert Reply:

The hitch that is the most hidden that will fit your 2021 Honda Odyssey is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7372. With the EcoHitch, the crosstube is completely hidden from sight underneath your vehicle. I went ahead and posted a couple pictures of a 2018 Odyssey to give you some perspective of the fitment. The fitment on your 2021 model will look nearly identical.

As far as wiring, if you need just brake lights/signal lights alone, you will only need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118781. The T-One includes a ModuLite power converter to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailer. If you are looking to add a brake controller to the vehicle, you will need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat # ETBC7 in addition to the T-One.

To add a brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha Voyager # 39510 or the Curt Echo # C51180. Both of these controllers are proportional controllers which means that the controller activates the trailer brakes in proportion to your vehicle's braking action. The Voyager is more of a traditional-style controller than requires mounting into the dashboard of your vehicle near the steering wheel. On the other hand, the Curt Echo allows you to control the settings of your controller with the ease of your Smart device.
