Recommended 2 Inch Hitch for a 2016 Honda Odyssey
Question:
I need a 2 hitch for a 2016 Honda Odyssey EX-L.

Expert Reply:
To add a 2" hitch to your 2016 Honda Odyssey EX-L, I recommend the Draw-Tite item # 76025. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Honda with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver, it has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight.
I really like the Draw-Tite item # 76025 because the entire crosstube mounts behind the rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver exposed. This not only looks better but helps with ground clearance compared to the item # e98862 you were looking at. That hitch has the crosstube mounting below your rear bumper.
I have linked an installation video below to help you get this hitch set up.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56378 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
