  • Availability of Roof Rack for a 1981 Honda Prelude
  • We do have a roof rack option for your 1981 Honda Prelude! The only roof rack that will fit your Prelude is the SeaSucker Roof Rack which comes with 48" Monkey Bars and 6 vacuum cups, part # 298-SX6000B. Either option has a 150 lb weight capacity but that has more to do with the strength of the crossbars and your vehicle than it does the vacuum cups. The vacuum cups actually have a pull strength rating of 210 lbs each. I have attached a review video as well as a road test video that you...

  • Recommended Ball Mount for Towing a Trailer with a 2019 Honda Odyssey and etrailer Trailer Hitch
  • You are definitely on the right track! When we installed the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98855 on a 2019 Honda Odyssey we found that from the ground to the top of the inside of the receiver measured 14". When you subtract that from the 16" measurement you took for your trailer coupler that gives you a difference of 2". This means you are looking at a ball mount with a rise of about 2" (see attached picture). For your application I highly recommend the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit...

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2008 Honda Odyssey
  • We don't have complete towing packages for vehicles but I can recommend the parts you'll need to tow a trailer with your 2008 Honda Odyssey. I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75270. It's a 2 inch, Class III hitch that's custom designed for your van. I suggest the Class III hitch because it will have higher ratings and be more compatible with accessories. Then the wiring harness # 118438 will provide you with a 4-way trailer connector. It plugs into a connector located...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch/Trailer Wiring For A 2022 Honda CR-V Touring
  • After doing some research I found out that The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848 will be a great fit for your 2022 Honda CR-V Touring. The etrailer hitch is one of my favorites as well because it is coated with a matte black finish which does a good job of hiding scratches and scuffs you will get when towing from flying road debris that you pick off up the road while driving. The other hitches we carry for your vehicle have a gloss black coating which will show scratches and scuffs. When...

  • Best Concealed Trailer Hitch For A 2022 Honda CR-V
  • When installing a concealed trailer hitch onto your 2022 Honda CR-V I recommend The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848. The etrailer hitch will be the best concealed hitch that we offer or other competitors offer besides the factory OEM hitch. The etrailer hitch's cross tube will be completely hidden and only the 2 inch receiver head will be visible. I also like the etrailer hitch because it has a matte black powder coated finish which will do a better job at hiding scratches and...

  • Is There A Hidden Hitch For A 2023 Honda Passport
  • After doing some research The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13421 will be hidden the most compared to the other trailer hitches. The OEM hitch you can get from the factory is a little more hidden but barely. The Curt hitch will all be hidden besides the 2 inch receiver head. I like the Curt hitch because it is manufactured in the USA, and has a bolt on installation with no welding required. To be able to tow your trailer you will also need The Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness # C56291....

  • Parts Needed To Install a Redarc Tow Pro Trailer Brake Controller On a 2023 Honda Ridgeline
  • Yes, you will be able to install either the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR or Elite # RED44FR trailer brake controller on your 2023 Honda Ridgeline. If your Ridgeline came with the factory tow package you will only need the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness # RED59FR to connect to the factory wiring. Otherwise you will need a Installation Kit # ETBC7 to install a 7-way with the wiring for the brake controller. A Universal Harness # RED69FR is needed for the Liberty as it does not include one.

  • What do I Need to Tow a Trailer with a 2019 Honda Odyssey
  • You're going to need a custom trailer hitch receiver and a custom wiring harness for starters. On your 2019 Honda Odyssey I recommend the etrailer.com hitch, part # 76170. I like how the receiver tube is all you see under the van's bumper and the cross tube is completely hidden. The wiring harness that fits is part # 118753. It's a 4-way connector and plugs right into the van's wiring behind a trim panel in the rear cargo area on the passenger side. I've linked the install details...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement on 2003 Honda Odyssey
  • One option is air bags like the AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs # AL60740. This kit will let you adjust air pressure in the springs to even the load that is in your 2003 Honda Odyssey. If you prefer to control the pressue from inside your van you can also add a compressor system. The AirLift Load Controller II # AL25592 will allow you to monitor and control the air pressure. For even more control the # AL25651 system is a dual path system so you will be able to control the bags separately...

  • Trailer Wiring Needed to Tow a Small Trailer with a 2018 Honda Pilot
  • For a 4-Way connector to tow your small trailer I recommend using the Curt T-Connector # C56291. This plugs right into existing wiring on your 2018 Honda Pilot, includes all of the fuses needed to activate your tow package, and will provide all of the signals for the basic lighting functions on your trailer. To complete your towing setup you will also need a ball mount and hitch ball. I recommend a ball mount kit like the Curt # C45036 but you will want to check out the linked helpful...

  • Towing Capacity of 2018 Honda Accord Sedan with 2.0L Engine
  • From my research your 2018 Honda Accord can tow up to 1,000 pounds since it has the 2.0L. According to the owner's manual the 1.5L is not designed for towing and if someone tries to tow with one the warranty may be voided. Yikes! The hitch I recommend for your Honda is the Curt, part # C11525. It's rated up to 2,000 pounds but you're still limited by the vehicle's 1,000 pound max. The recommended ball mount with the hitch is part # 3593. Use part # 19258 if you need a 2 inch ball...

  • Brake Controller and 6-Way Socket Installation in 2015 Honda CR-V
  • The Bunkhouse trailer website does not provide wiring specs for their motorcycle-friendly camper trailers like their King LX Camper Base, nor does it indicate anything about these trailers having electric drum brakes. Usually a 6-way wiring set-up uses round connectors like the trailer-side plug # PK11604 and vehicle-side socket # PK11609. A trailer brake controller such as the Popular Prodigy P2 # 90885 can be installed in your 2015 CR-V by first installing a 4-pole wiring harness...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Honda CRV behind a Class C Motorhome
  • To flat tow your 2014 Honda CR-V you'll need a tow bar, base plates, wiring, supplemental braking, and likely a high-low adapter. You'll also want to consult your owner's manual to make sure your vehicle is able to be flat towed without damaging it. From my research the CR-V will be just fine with all 4 wheels down. The Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 is a great option to tow your Honda. It has a large hookup raidus and self-aligns so hooking up is easier and smoother. It connects...

  • What 7-Way Adapter Harness Fits My 2012 Honda Pilot?
  • For the trailer connector to adapt your 4-pin on your 2012 Honda Pilot to a 7-pin plug, that is the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole # 37185. While this kit does require a bit of splicing at the rear of your vehicle, we do not have a simple plug-and play solution because a 7-pole harness requires some additional grounds. The entire installation is completed at the rear of your vehicle without having to route wiring under the hood. The installation also involves installing the no-drill...

  • Parts Needed To Pull a U-Haul Trailer With a 2018 Honda CR-V
  • According to the owners manual for your 2018 Honda CR-V the maximum allowable weight of any trailer you haul including everything in it is 1,500lbs. Do note that if you are planning on also filling your CR-V with items you will want to be aware of the GVWR on your vehicle. Your trailer tongue weight should be approximately 10% of your trailer weight so at the 1,500lb weight you will have 150lbs of tongue weight which needs to be added to your curb weight. You can find your GVWR on your...

  • Transmission Cooler Installation in 2012 Honda Odyssey
  • You do not need to add a separate thermostat when installing a supplementary transmission fluid cooler liker Derale # D13503, the one recommended for your Odyssey, since transmission fluid cannot be over-cooled. Coolers can be installed in any orientation; it does not matter in which direction the hose ports face. It may be necessary to add a bit more fluid to the system after the cooler is installed to account for the volume inside the hoses and inside the cooler itself. Usually this...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2011 Honda CR-V With a 2000 Winnebago and a Stowmaster 5000 Tow Bar
  • There are 5 basic components that you need to flat tow your 2011 Honda CR-V. You need a tow bar like the Stowmaster 5000 that you purchased, base plates, safety cables, light kit and a supplemental braking system. You should also check your owners manual of your CR-V for any specific towing procedures that must be followed like pulling fuses or adding a lube pump.
