Question:
I am looking for a hitch for my 2022 Honda Odyssey. I need something that will work well with my bike rack and also with my cargo carrier. Since it looks like the tongue weight on all of these is as much or more than my Odyssey can handle I don't think the hitch capacity really matters. Is there one that you would recommend? Thanks.

I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98855 for your 2022 Honda Odyssey. This is a Class III hitch and will work well for the accessories you have. The 2" receiver will allow you to mount just about any accessory out there. It has a matte black powder coat finish for protection which does a great job hiding dirt and dings when compared to a glossy finish.
If you need to power lights for your cargo carrier or bike rack, or plan to tow in the future, you will also need to add wiring. I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118781. This plugs into existing wiring to provide you with a 4-way connection at the back of your van. If you need a ball mount, check out the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900.
I have attached some review and installation videos that you can check out.
