Expert Reply:
I have exactly what you will need to tow a boat trailer with your 2017 Honda Pilot. For starters, you will need a 4-way if you do not already have one and for that I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118760. Then you will need a 4 to 5-way adapter like part # 20036 as they do not make a 5-way harness for your vehicle. These two connectors will give you everything you need to tow your boat trailer with a 5-way trailer connector. You will only need to splice into one wire to install the adapter which is for the reverse signal. The reverse signal can be found using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993.
