Question:

Im going to be installing Draw-Tite 76025 on my 2017 Honda Odyssey. I will also be installing Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness C56378. I want to mount the 4 way plug permanently on the outside of the vehicle by the hitch. What is my best option? Is Curt Easy Mount Bracket for 4- or 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector - 2 Hitch - C58001 compatible with my hitch? Thanks.

Expert Reply:

To mount the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C56378 to the Draw-Tite item # 76025 you will want to use the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # 18144. This will allow you to install the 4-way farther down from the hitch receiver without drilling. There's a lot going on there with the ball mount and safety chains. My personal preference is to get the wiring out of the way.

The Curt Easy Mount Bracket item # C58001 you were looking at will work though.

Both the Curt item # C56378 and the Draw-Tite item # 76025 are confirmed to fit a 2017 Honda Odyssey. I have linked installation videos below for all of these parts so you can see how to get them set up.

To round out your towing setup, I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise. It also includes a hitch pin and clip, hitch receiver lock with keys, hitch cover, and a storage case.
