  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2016 Honda Pilot
  • Hidden Hitch is the brand name. It isn't a description of the hitch appearance once installed so it is sort of a misnomer. But it also depends on the vehicle because in some cases everything but the receiver could be hidden but so should all the hitches for the same vehicle. On a 2016 Honda Pilot or Acura MDX the hitch mounting brackets and cross beam would be hidden. I have included a picture as an example. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900....

  • Parts Needed To Install A 7 Way On A 2015 Honda Pilot
  • We definitely have what you need to get a 7 Way installed on the 2015 Honda Pilot you are working on. However, the correct pieces will depend on if the Pilot has the factory towing package or not so I did include both options, just in case. I included some install and review videos for you to check out on each product as well. If it does have the towing package that originally included a 7 Way plug, the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way Trailer Connector...

  • 4-Way Flat Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2012 Honda Pilot to Tow a Small Trailer
  • We do have a trailer wiring kit for the 2012 Honda Pilot that includes a 4-Way flat wiring harness. However, to make it fully functional you do need all of those parts you see. The 4-Way version is # 118558. The reason all of the parts are needed is because there is no converter or relays connected at the forward installation point, see instructions, on the vehicle. Without that installed, there will be no power going back to the 4-Way.

  • Recommended Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier for 2015 Honda Pilot
  • A great hitch mounted cargo carrier for your 2015 Honda Pilot is the 20x48 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110. This carrier measures 20 x 48 inches and will hold up to 300 lbs. The shank has a 3-3/4 inch rise giving you ground clearance. It is made of steel and has a black powder coated, corrosion-resistant finish. I've attached a video of the carrier on a 2016 Pilot so you can get a idea of how it will look on your 2015.

  • Recommended Front And Rear Floor Mats For A 2023 Honda Pilot Touring
  • Yes, you will need to purchase new floor mats for your 2023 Honda Pilot Touring. The floor mats would actually be the same for 2016-2022 models, but they made some changes for the 2023 pilot. For the front row we have the WeatherTech # WT43BQ, and for the 2nd row we have the # WT33BQ. These are the black rubber custom fitted mats from WeatherTech.

  • What is Towing Capacity of 2020 Honda Pilot AWD
  • I looked up the towing capacity of your 2020 Honda Pilot and the AWD models are rated at towing a trailer up to 5,000 lbs so a 3,500 lb trailer like you mentioned wouldn't be a problem at all. For a hitch the etrailer part # e98840 is a confirmed fit and would work great. It has more than enough capacity and also is mostly hidden. For a 7-way trailer wiring harness the Tekonsha part # 118286 would be a great option that's easy to install and very reliable.

  • Does Tekonsha Voyager Brake Controller Have Plug-In Adapter For 2008 Honda Pilot
  • I have attached a photo of the Voyager brake controller # 39510. In the photo there is also a harness that plugs into the Voyager harness. That is part # 20127. The # 20127 is hardwired into the vehicle wiring so you will need to look to see if the # 20127 is installed on your 2005 Grand Caravan. If not, then the Voyager connector may have been cut off and it was hardwired. To install the Voyager in your 2008 Pilot you will need part # 20127 if the connector is still attached to the Voyager....

  • Recommended Wiring Harness for 2016 Honda Pilot without Tow Package
  • The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56291 referenced in your question will work on your 2016 Honda Pilot whether or not it has the factory tow package. Your vehicle will still have the necessary ports behind the driver side trim panel where the T-connector will plug into. This will provide a 4-way connector at the rear of your Pilot in order to power your trailer's signal lights. I have attached an installation video on the 2016 Honda Pilot that you can use for reference.

  • Recommended Brake Controller And Wiring For 2012 Honda Pilot
  • For you to safely tow the RV with brakes, you will need a brake controller and the trailer wiring for your 2012 Honda Pilot. I can help you out with everything you need. First, if you do not have a 4-way connector at the back of your Pilot I recommend part # 118558. This harness plugs into the vehicle wiring located behind the rear bumper. You then need part # ETBC7.

  • Best Weight Distribution for a V-Nose Trailer with Short Frame Distance from Coupler to Body
  • The Blue Ox systems cannot be moved back that far but we do have the perfect system for you. Take a look at the Reese SC weight distribution systems linked to the right (minus the ones that say Light Duty). These systems have narrow brackets that can fit at different distances back from the coupler. Take a look at the picture I have included that shows the various ranges for the different capacity SC systems. To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue...

  • Recommended Base Plates and Flat Towing Equipment for 2005 Honda Pilot
  • What it simply means is that some of the base plate kits will fit your 2005 Honda Pilot if it has a brushguard and others won't. Personally I recommend the Demco kit, # DM9517143, because it works with whether you have the brushguard or not. I also like the Demco kits because they pair with the Demco tow bars that have independent arms, include safety cables, and are made in the USA. The Commander II, # DM9511012, would work perfectly for you. For a lighting solution, I recommend the...

  • Recommended Best Rooftop Cargo Box for 2018 Mazda CX5
  • If you already have a roof rack you will most likely have the 32 inch crossbar spread if you have flush mounted rails or the 28 inch crossbar spread if you have no rails. The best fit for your vehicle is the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black Glossy # TH629706. The Motion XT is one of the most popular options because of the look, the tapered tail for better hatch clearance, and the interior capacity. This is followed by the Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box - 16...
