For your 2022 Honda Odyssey I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76170. Of all the available trailer hitches for your vehicle the Draw-Tite is the most hidden with only the receiver tube being visible at an economical price point. This hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 3,500lbs and maximum tongue weight capacity of 525lbs. It has a black powder coat finish covers e-coat base for superior rust protection.

For the trailer wiring harness I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with Upgraded Circuit Protected ModuLite HD Module - 4-Way Flat # 118781. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind an interior trim panel in your rear cargo area, on the passenger's side. Once you've plugged in the connector, you will have to route the harness through the jack storage compartment to the center of your vehicle. Before plugging the included 7-way socket into the tow harness, locate the fuse box under your hood and insert the provided fuses.

Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector can be stowed in your rear cargo area or attached to your vehicle using the Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144.

For a good starter ball mount kit I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 7,500lbs # 989900. This kit will come with a 1-7/8" hitch ball and 2" hitch ball. It has a drop of 2" or 4" and a rise of 1" or 3" to keep your trailer level while towing.

I've linked videos below that will walk you through the installation process for each of these items.
