Honda Odyssey Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

CURT hitches for the Honda Odyssey

A hitch turns your Odyssey into the one that takes a bike rack, a cargo carrier, a utility trailer or a small boat. CURT builds five hitches for the Honda Odyssey from 1999 to 2026, Class 1 to Class 3, rated 3,500 lb to 3,500 lb, from $275.67 CAD with free shipping anywhere in Canada.

Your year decides the part. Find it in the table, open the year page for the exact hitch, price and wiring, and you're done in a few minutes.

Pick your Odyssey year

Each year page has the hitch, the harness and the ball mount that go together, with the price of each.

Class 1 or Class 3 on an Odyssey?

Class 1 is the lighter one, with a 1-1/4 inch receiver and 3,500 lb of trailer. It's plenty for a bike rack or a small cargo carrier. Class 3 moves you to a 2-inch receiver and 3,500 lb, which is what you want for a bike rack, a cargo carrier, a utility trailer or a small boat, and it takes the common 2-inch racks and carriers without an adapter. Either way the Odyssey's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling, and the lower number wins.

Wiring, ball mount and the rest

A bike rack needs nothing but the hitch. A trailer needs lights, and CURT 55336 ($50.32 CAD) is the four-flat harness that plugs into the Odyssey's factory connector for 1995 through 1996 and 1998 through 2004. No cutting, no scotch-locks. Other years have their own harness; the year page shows the right one.

Then a ball mount sized to the receiver: CURT 45836 ($41.70 CAD) drops straight into a 2-inch receiver. Pick the drop or rise that keeps the trailer level, and match the ball to the coupler. The ball mount guide covers both in two minutes.

Canadian winters eat hitch hardware. Salt and brine get into the receiver and the trailer plug, so a smear of grease on the pin, a cap on the receiver and a rinse under the bumper in spring keep a CURT hitch looking new for years. The rust and salt care guide has the full routine.

Honda Odyssey hitch questions

Which CURT hitch fits my Honda Odyssey?

It depends on the year. CURT 13370 is the newest, for 2018 through 2026, and the table above matches every other year to its part. Open your year page and the exact hitch, price and wiring are on it.

Can I put a bike rack on an Odyssey with this hitch?

Yes. The 2-inch receiver takes any 2-inch rack, and a loaded rack counts against the hitch's tongue weight (525 lb on CURT 13370), so a four-bike platform rack with bikes on it is well inside the limit.

Can I install the hitch myself?

Most owners do. CURT rates CURT 13370 a novice install, about 30 minutes with hand tools and a jack. The install video above is the real job, uncut.

How much can an Odyssey tow with a CURT hitch?

The hitch is rated from 3,500 lb to 3,500 lb depending on the part, but the Odyssey's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling. The lower of the two numbers is your limit, every time.
