asked by: Dan

Expert Reply:

Our highest capacity hitch for your 2005 Honda Odyssey is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver item # e98862. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Honda with included hardware.

This hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight of 3,500 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 350 lbs. I have linked an installation video below.

If you are ever towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 118438 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

I recommend adding the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs for Coil Spring Suspension item # CSS-1168R to help the rear end of your van from sagging when under a heavy load. These can easily be removed when you are not hauling your motorcycle carrier. You should verify what your Honda Odysseys actual tongue weight and towing capacity is because it may be different.
