Like all hitches, installation of the Draw-Tite # 76170 will interfere with the kick sensor on your 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite. Following the installation you can check to see if it is still working. Typically you will be able to use the hands-free liftgate feature by placing your foot on either side of the receiver.

If it is not working, or not what you want to do, you can use a sensor relocation kit from Honda. Based on my research you will need the Honda part number 08L91-THR-100A. I recommend contacting your local Honda dealer to verify this information.

For your 2020 Honda Odyssey the big difference between the two Draw Tite hitches you mentioned is that the #76171 has a visible crosstube and the #76170 does not. Having the crosstube out of plainsight makes the hitch look a little better and also…

Hi Mike! Do you want a completely hidden hitch or one where only the receiver is visible? The Curt #C64NR you looked at has a concealed cross tube so you will only see the receiver hanging down at the rear. The Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite #DT76GR will…

Unfortunately no, the Inno Tire Hold Bike Rack for 1 Bike #INH110 can not be expanded to a 2 bike rack. Instead, you'd have to just use an entirely different rack like #INH120which is already a 2 bike rack.
