I have a 2013 Honda Odyssey minivan and would like to know how well the hitch fits the back of the vehicle (contours bumper or hangs low?).

Leslie:The hitch fit like it was factory installed. Not difficult to install at all. I would recommend buying a reamer to clean the threads. It was about $ 17.00, but made the installation much easier. Good luck

It contour the bumper with about a 1.5 inch reveal between receiver and bumper. The bumper tapers down from back to front so it will have a gap between hitch and bumper but it looks okay. Seems to be plenty of clearance from the ground.

Yes it fits, don't go any bigger. I have it on my 2015 Odyssey right now. The hatch is clear to open with about an 1.5 inch to spare.

Have to do the measurement from bumper to the front of the hitch to see if it fits

There were no instructions in my box so it took longer than it should have. I have a 2006 Odyssey LX. First off the rails for front and back are different lengths. Look for a label on the rail that says "Front", the other rail is for the back. 1. Organize the screws and washers since they are all in the same bag. 2. Remove the back rail cap by inserting a small screw driver in the clip hole and work the cap to the rear of the van. I used a buck knife to pry between the cap and rail to get it sliding back. You have to use the rear cap because the front doesn't allow the cross rail inserts to be slid into the mounting rail. Put this on after the cross rails are installed in case 3. Slide in the cross rail inserts and position them at the desired location. 4. Put the front rail on first. The cross rail inserts are made with very soft metal, if it gets cross threaded you have to remove the cross tab inserts and run the screw from the bottom to fix the threads. It took me a couple of hours because I spent a lot of time figuring out. This link is for a 2003 (http://www.handa-accessories.com/odyssey/odycrossbars.pdf) , and shows the front cap removal. The 2006 is definitely the rear cover. I also had real problems with cross threading, but I worked through it. It is very important to not force anything on this installation.

I don't know the exact measurement as I had to take my hitch off soon after I had put it on. I have a driveway with a steep incline and the hitch would rub the concrete.The hitch had a larger diameter than I expected for a Honda Odyssey

If your minivan comes with a roof rack, the Hullavator cross bars can be installed. The Hullavator hydraulic arms and cradle are attached to the cross bars. I am 5'4" and mine is on a 2012 Ford Escort. The only time I have to really reach is when putting the arms onto the rack assembly. Once in place, you pull the handles and the kayak cradles come down to just below waist level. Here is a YouTube Link that shows how it works. As far as I know, you would need one set of cradles for each kayak. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Pi90FXW4JA

Just a little movement. It is important to note that the rack comes with an attachment designed to fit the rack into a larger hitch. Seems to me that movement would be all but impossible given the rack has a screw to lock the rack to the hitch. When that screw is pulled tight it eliminates all but very minor movement. Mine is on a 2007 Lincoln MKX and fits nicely.

It should fit about any rack system, as long as the cross bars are adjustable front to rear. Your cross bars need to be able to to spread from at least 23 5/8" to a max of 34". The box is 38" wide and 63" long. As noted, the box is an excellent value to price, but in my case, the Honda Odyssey I have does not come with those cross bars, so those added to the expense. The box has three sets of mounting holes pre-drilled, if needed, you could drill holes to match the cross bar spread you are limited to - just be sure to cover any holes not used with the supplied hole seals.

Not at all. It fit like a champ. The hardest part of installing it was removing the rear seats. Have to say I really wish that we bought this the day we took the car home. BTW... did you hear about the 900,000+ Honda Odyssey recall? Something about the fuel line potentially cracking. Notices set to go out late April.

The hitch has been great. I'm sure the brackets will work. Call hitch Source or the manufacturer to confirm bracket size, I'm not around mine currently to measure, but I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the hitch!

Approx 8-10 inches.. If your hitch is not recessed more than 4 inches under vehicles bumper, you will not have a folding clearance issue

The tow hitch should work fine with the bumper. I have one on mine and didn't have any problems at all. Nice bumper, you will definitely like it.Brandon

Not sure, but if you go on the Curt website and provide your vehicle info, you will get the answer very quickly. The hitch is high quality and fits my SUV perfectly. Good luck

I'm assuming from the question that you don't have luggage rack rails on top; those would work best. Honestly I wouldn't think it would work very well with the sliding side door on a minivan. But their website is www.roofbag.com, so you might find out more there. There's also another kind of luggage deal you can get that attaches to a trailer hitch if you have one of those; we didn't. Good luck.

I have a 2013 RAM 1500 with two wheel drive. The hitch fit my truck with no modification. It bolted on to the factory support for the rear bumper, and took about 30 minutes to install.

I have a 2010 Honda Odyssey. I mounted mine with double-back tape because I could not mount it with screws in the center due to the hatch release being in the way. Mounting it to the license plate would have blocked most of the access to the latch as well so I had to mount it slightly off to one side.

You may have to call extang. If you fold it back it will still extend out about 2 feet 4,5 or 6 inches from rear window of cab. Not sure how much room your hitch needs. The entire cover removes in seconds if folding it back doesn't give you enough clearance. I am out of town but should be back in a couple of hours. Let me know if you want me to get exact measurements for you.
