Good Day, I have a 2007 Honda Accord with the 4 cyl.. I also have need to transport a washer and dryer. I think the motor will handle it bit do you offer a bolt on hitch? I would look for a light 5x7 trailer as a platform. Thank You for any help

For your 2007 Honda Accord, I recommend taking a look at the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24787. This hitch has a Class I rating with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. The maximum gross trailer weight (GTW) and tongue weight (TW) this hitch can handle is 2,000 lbs and 200 lbs respectively. This is the only trailer hitch receiver that we have confirmed to fit your vehicle that does not require drilling for installation and is completely bolt-on. I have also attached an installation video of this hitch installed on a similar 2005 Honda Accord for you as well.

Since you will be towing a trailer, you will also need a wiring harness and ball mount/hitch ball. For a wiring harness I recommend using the Custom Fit 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118302 for 4-door models or the Curt part # C59236 for 2-door models. I have also attached an installation video of a harness installed on a similar 2006 Honda Accord for you as well.

For a ball mount/hitch ball, most of our customers have used the Draw-Tite Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitch part # 3592 without issues. This ball mount has a 2-1/8" rise and a 2-3/4" drop. If this rise/drop does not work for you then please use the attached article to find the correct one. You will also need a hitch ball and part # 19256 for 1-7/8" couplers or part # 19258 for 2" couplers would work well for you.
