I have a 2008 Odyssey and I am looking for a hitch to purchase that will be used for hauling bikes. I currently have a bike rack that is used on our Toyota Highlander and believe that it has a 2" opening (don't know the terminology). I would like to have a hitch installed on the van that can also use the bike rack so that we don't have to purchase a new one. Any recommendations on where to purchase one and if it's possible to get a square 2" for the Odyssey. Thanks

I have a 07 odyssey with a 2" trailer hitch. I mainly use it for bike racks but would like to pull a tent trailer. I have been reading the previous posts about what I would need to pull the trailer. http://www.etrailer.com/pc-VWH~118438.htm (the T-one wiring harness). http://www.etrailer.com/p-30637.htm (the 4 pole to 6 pole adaptor). Would I still need http://www.etrailer.com/p-ETBC7.htm?search=1 (brake controller kit)? There was a lot of discussion about tranny and power steering which I dont think I need. If anyone has any suggestion please let me know |

I tried to install a U-Haul hitch in my 2006 Honda Odyssey. I was able to put 4 out of 5 bolts on place. Because of hitch holes misalignment, I damaged one of the nut thread that are welded on the frame. I made 2 of hitch's holes bigger with a round file. But, but now one of the frame welded nut's thread is damaged. Any idea how/where to get frame welded nut thread fixed ?

Only reasonable fix, other than getting the hitch welded to the frame, is to buy a 12 mm tap (get the correct thread pitch by taking a bolt to the store to match. ) You will need a wrench to turn it, best is a tap holder, but that adds $$ for just one use. Carefully !! start the tap into the hole trying to get it to engage the existing threads. "Chase" the threads in about an inch or so. The bolt will then go in. Use a torque wrench to finish tightening. |

I just traded up from my 2000 EX to the 2009 EX-L. The aftermarket sites seems to sell the same hitch for both the 2000 and 2009. Can I assume that I can take my old hitch offf the 2000 and put it on the 2009? Thanks for the info.

Replying to: poolbandit (Jun 13, 2009 7:53 pm) This is the complete towing package installation .pdf... hitch, wiring, tranny and ps coolers. For the ps cooler, go to page 10 (step 38). http://www.handa-accessories.com/odyssey/05tow.pdf |
