Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2006 Honda Accord
Question:
Hey there I was looking at this product in hopes of hooking up a small motorcycle trailer, but all I see people posting about are bike racks. Is this the product I will need for my 2006 Honda Accord to pull an actual trailer? Also what other parts would I need with it to pull a trailer with a hitch-ball size of 1-7/8 and 2 inches, including electrical. Thank you!

You can use Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24787 to tow a trailer with your 2006 Honda Accord. The vehicle does have a towing capacity of 1,000 pounds so provided the gross trailer weight when loaded and ready to tow is less than that then you can tow it.
The recommended ball mount is # 3592 and for a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch use # 19258.
For trailer wiring you can use # 118302 for a sedan or # C59236 for a coupe. The # 118302 plugs in line with the vehicle tail light wiring, the # C59236 is a hardware installation. Both provide a 4-Way flat connector at the rear of the vehicle. I have linked some helpful videos and help articles for you as well.
