The CURT 13068 Class 3 Trailer Hitch is a rugged, vehicle-specific towing solution engineered for select Honda Odyssey models. Rated for up to 3,500 lbs gross trailer weight and featuring a durable dual-coat finish, it offers reliable strength and corrosion resistance.

## Description

Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Honda Odyssey (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 5,000 lbs. WD and 500 lbs. WDTW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.

Review: Quick easy install - great hitch for bike or other racks - Hitch purchased for a 2007 Honda Odyssey - was about $40 less costly than the Hidden Hitch and DrawTite counterparts. Fit and finish was excellent and it appears to be a well made and engineered product. Also Curt provided some of the best instructions I've seen on a product like this. Thorough, in well written English and with color photos to boot. As other reviewers have pointed out this Curt hitch only has 5 bolt points (4 into factory weld nuts and one more on the drivers side thru a frame hole) compared to the factory/Hidden Hitch/DrawTite hitches which use all 6 of the factory chassis weld nuts. Since this hitch does not use the two forward most weld nuts Honda builds into the chassis, it has much shorter mounting ears than the factory/Hidden Hitch/DrawTite versions making it a lot easier to maneuver into place, plus I found there was no need to unhook the tail pipe. As I am only ever going to use this as a mount for a bike rack I have absolutely no concerns with the 5 bolt points vs. 6, however if you are going to do a lot of heavy towing - even though this hitch is rated the same as the Hidden Hitch/DrawTite - you might want to consider opting for one of those versions which have the 6 bolt mount and spread the load out a bit more. In regards to the install it went extremely smoothly and I did not require any assistance. As many other reviewers have mentioned - get yourself a tap and clean out the weld nut threads first - do not skip this step!!! My 2007 Odyssey needed a 12mm-1.25 pitch tap for the weld nut thread clean out. I thought I was going to strike out finding one locally (no luck at Home Depot/Lowe's/Auto Palace) but found one at PEP Boys for under $5 and it even came with a drill bit (which of course you don't need for cleaning out existing threads). It was a Kawasaki brand model 840493. Again, do not skip this step! After lubing the threads and tap with some WD-40 or equivalent, it is easy enough to do - just be careful not to cross thread. I used a T-handle for the tap and found I had sufficient clearance, although on the passenger side the tailpipe needs to be pushed out of the way - I used a piece of rope to to tension the rubber mount and hold it out of the way while I ran the tap. On one of the weld nuts I neglected to drive the tap far enough and must have left some rust in there - this became obvious when I went to install the mounting bolt. It started easily but soon bogged down, and having seen my share of galled and broken bolts I could feel I was starting to risk a problem - out came the bolt and I re-ran the tap making sure to drive all the way through the weld nut well past the tapered area of the tap. After that all the bolts could be threaded into place by hand. So yet again I urge you to not skip this step! If you do you risk breaking the weld nuts and/or the bolts and causing yourself a great deal of hassle. Clean out those threads and make yourself a happy hitch installer. To mount the hitch there is no need to jack up the Odyssey. After cleaning out the weld nut threads, I started by hooking the passenger side flange up over the tailpipe. Then I rolled over to the driver side, lifted it into position, held up the hitch crossbar tube with my leg while I hand threaded in the two bolts finger tight. Returned to the passenger side and threaded in those two bolts finger tight. On the driver side, Curt provides one more bolt, nut, spacer and a special fish wire - just follow their excellent instructions and you will have no trouble with this. Finally, I torqued to specification - 72 ft-lbs on the weld nut bolts and 50 ft-lbs on the 5th bolt. Wow that was easy, all told I think it took 30 minutes or so. In summary, a very nice hitch with great instructions that's easy to install and IMO is perfect for light towing and especially ideal for bike or other racks.
Review: High Quality Hitch- Several notes to make it easier.... - The end result is a 5 star hitch- exactly as advertised. High quality, strong/sturdy, can be installed by one man. I gave 3 stars on the instructions and ease of install, because the instructions omitted some additional detail that would've helped, and I received a hitch that had to be hammered into the proper alignment. Minor adjustments to their documentation would make this an easy 30 minute install. It also saves time to take a tool inventory before it arrives. A couple things to note when you order: -You can technically install this without lifting your car, but it makes it easier if you can give yourself an extra couple inches. The easiest/safest way if you don't have a pro setup, it to set up a pad of bricks for the rear tires to park on- then block off both sides of the front tires and you're set. -Make sure you have a torque wrench that can be set from 70-86 ft lbs. They start around $25 on desertcart if you can't find one to borrow. It takes some strength to reach that level with a short torque wrench- most regular men can do it, but if necessary, find a longer one that'll provide more leverage. -You'll also need a stub phillips screwdriver or a phillips bit on a wrench (there's only a few inches to remove a screw between the fascia and the LR tire) -Need a regular 10mm socket and a deep 19mm socket. You can manage the 4 main bolts with a standard 19mm, but you'll need a deep socket for the 5th and final bolt (especially when torquing it). -You'll need at least a 6" extender for the 10mm socket -There are 5 fasteners connecting the fascia covering the driver's side rear frame that you need to access. 3 are those plastic push and lock fasteners along the rear half. Then there's one screw (need short phillips screwdriver noted above) and one hex screw (10mm socket and extender noted above); both of these are on the front end of the fascia right near the back of the LR tire. This is the only time you'll need to slide further under the vehicle. I broke the plastic fasteners trying to get them out, so I'd buy 3 extra ahead of time for when you reinstall the fascia. You'll need to trim the fascia when you're finished to reinstall it- so have some strong snippers ready to cut thick plastic. -When I first lined up the hitch, the holes in the hitch were too narrow to line up with the frame. This was an inconvenience but fixable. Have a 4+ lb hammer on hand to hammer the hitch into the correct width if necessary. Alternate hits on both sides, and hit it HARD. Took maybe 20 hits total to get me the extra 3/4" I needed to line up. -You don't need to detach your exhaust, but you'll need to force it out of the way when installing the two passenger side bolts. I could move it just enough to torque each one. -Not required if you torque properly, but you can use thread locker on the 5 bolts. I used purple vibra tite- very cheap for the smallest tube and a little easier to remove if I ever need to. -As they mention, start by inserting the hitch over the exhaust. You can rest it there. I used my leg to raise up the other end to make it a little more level. I started by hand threading one bolt on the exhaust side several turns so it could support the hitch. Then I did the same on the driver's side. That's the easiest way to do it quickly with one person. Once two bolts are in, it's cake. The fishwire technique for the last bolt is well described in the instructions. -Our van has about 80k miles on it, but the bolts all threaded easily into the frame with some WD-40. I tested all first. Others have noted that they needed a tap and/or thread cleaner before starting though, so keep that in mind.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I install this on 2014 Honda Odyssey? If yes, do I get instructions to install?**
A: If a trailer hitch is available through your dealer, then an aftermarket hitch - like the Curt - can be installed.  The frame of your van has been pre-drilled and threaded.  It's a matter of finding the right hitch.  Instructions are straightforward.  Line up the holes, insert bolts, tighten.  Depending on how many miles you have put on your van, you may need to purchase a tap and clean out the threads.  I did.  It helped.

**Q: Does this come with the required mounting hardware (washers & bolts) or do I have to purchase that separately?**
A: Mounting hardware is included. Regarding the comments about cleaning and tapping the threads, you may not have to. My car is 6 years old with 139k miles and threads were clear.

**Q: I bought this rack but I feel it's too heavy and overkill for transporting the bikes. Why did you pick this instead of class2 version?**
A: It has a 2 inch receiver. All my current tow balls, bike racks, and cooler platforms utilize 2 inch stock. I also use this hitch receiver as a recovery/towing/winching point. I wanted the strongest available bar assembly with the greatest weight rating. It may be over kill for a bike rack , but I now a have a very convenient way to tow my Van out of mud or snow with out crawling under the Van to look for an attachment point.

**Q: If I install this hitch to 2005 Honda Odyssey, do I need to a adaptor for bike racks such as Thule and Yakima ?**
A: This hitch supports a 2" bike rack.  If your bike rack is smaller, you will need to buy an adapter.

*by E***E on June 22, 2025*

Perfect fit on my 2015 Honda Odyssey. Needed to use a M12 x 1.25 Tap for the holes on the exhaust side, as they were fairly rusted. So definitely look into added that as a purchase if installing yourself. Including taping the holes, took about an hour to install.
