Although we do offer a hitch fit for your 2018 Odyssey, unfortunately the frame/rear bumper/fascia area of the 2018 model changed enough over the years that the hitch from your 2005 Honda Odyssey won't be compatible with the newer 2018 model.
If you don't mind a hitch that's pretty visible, the etrailer brand # e98855 Class III hitch is what I'd recommend. If you'd prefer a hitch that has the crossbar concealed behind the bumper with only the receiver tube and safety chain loops being visible, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite # 76170 Class III hitch.
I've linked to install videos for the hitches I recommended, as well as to the installation instructions.
