Honda Odyssey Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Honda Odyssey in Canada? This guide walks the year landers we publish today, compares the Class 3 and Class 2 receivers we stock, and stays honest about wiring years that stop short of the newest vans.

Built for Canadian Odyssey owners. Free shipping on CURT towing gear from Lots of Parts. New to hitches? Start with the buying guide, Class 3 versus Class 4, and wiring guide. Or open the towing guides hub.

Watch these CURT videos first

All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). CURT publishes a dedicated install for CURT 13068 on an older Odyssey. A dedicated CURT 13370 install for the current generation is not on the channel today, so we also include selection, install technique, and fascia tips that still apply.

Odyssey years and hitch shopping

Odyssey hitch shopping splits cleanly by generation. CURT 13370 covers 2018 through 2026 with a two-inch Class 3 receiver. Earlier vans from 1999 through 2017 use CURT 13068 for Class 3 or CURT 12031 for a Class 2 receiver with a 1.25 inch opening. Honda’s published tow ratings for Odyssey stay modest, so treat the hitch rating as a ceiling and believe the door sticker first.

Years What we usually stock
2018–2026 Class 3: CURT 13370 with a two-inch receiver (up to 3,500 lb GTW and 525 lb tongue on the card, with weight-distribution notes). CURT notes this hitch is not for vertical-hanging bike racks. Wiring: CURT 56382 four-flat for 2018–2025. A 2026 wiring SKU is not in our active list yet.
1999–2017 Class 3: CURT 13068 with a two-inch receiver (up to 3,500 lb GTW and 350 lb tongue on the card). Class 2 option: CURT 12031 with a 1.25 inch receiver. Wiring: CURT 56378 for 2011–2017 and CURT 56161 for 2005–2010.
Catalog honesty We publish Odyssey hitch landers for 1999 through 2026. Custom four-flat wiring for the current generation stops at 2025 in our active CURT list, so a brand-new 2026 Odyssey may need Shop by Vehicle or support help for lights.

Never exceed Honda’s tow rating for your trim and drivetrain. Treat the hitch as a ceiling, not a target.

Honest limits

Vehicle rating wins

Odyssey tow packages are family-van rated, not truck rated. Size the trailer to Honda’s published limit first, then pick the receiver that matches your years.

  • Hitch class is not a tow package
  • Tongue weight matters as much as GTW
  • 2026 wiring is a catalog gap today

Simple setup steps

Step 1Open your year

Use the live Odyssey landers above when they match your model year.

Step 2Match the CURT SKU

CURT 13370 for 2018-and-newer, or CURT 13068 versus CURT 12031 for earlier vans.

Step 3Respect Honda’s limit

Read the door sticker and owner’s manual before you size a trailer or cargo carrier.

Step 4Add lights and a ball mount

Use the wiring guide and the ball mount guide.

Canada checklist

  • Believe Honda’s tow rating for your Odyssey trim — it beats any hitch brochure.
  • Vertical bike racks are excluded on CURT 13370 — read that note before you order.
  • 2026 wiring is thin in our active catalog — do not assume CURT 56382 covers a brand-new van.
  • Plan for salt season — rinse the open-back receiver and protect the wiring plug when you can.
