Good receiver for the price. Perfect fit for our 2022 Honda Pilot. Easy installation. Would have been 5 stars but shipping was hard on it. Expect chipped paint and scratches. Doesn’t ship wrapped or protected in any way.
by: Jacob08/24/2020
Fits well on my 2021 Honda Pilot. The etrailer customer service was excellent, the video explanation was extremely useful (although it certainly cuts out the grunt work time and makes it appear easier than it actually is). The hitch is 50 pounds and takes a bit of muscling it around to get it installed (took about 45 minutes overall). Certainly do-able for a DIY person but don’t go into it assuming it will be easy. I used the jack to help hold it in place but even that is difficult if the jack is not stable. Best as a two person job.

Ordered the Curt Hitch as I wanted the glossy look to match our black painted MDX. Mine came packaged well and no paint defects. It was a bit** to put on by yourself and I don't recommend it. But it fits well and looks good.
by: Dave C - Cleveland Ohio03/17/2024
I have been buying from etrailer for several years. Products and service are awesome. Shipping is super fast and the support videos are amazing. Most of the unfavorable comments in reviews are about packaging and I agree. It would be nice if etrailer spent another dollar or two on packaging. Something as simple as a plastic cap plug over the receiver tube hole would help keep the one part that is visible for getting damaged/scratched.

All I needed was a class 1 or less 1&1/4" recvr for a bike rack and this is what I found. A class 3 hitch rated for towing 6000#. Ridiculous. The thing weighs a ton. It is awkward as the dickens to handle. It was thrown in a box with no packing what so ever. All four corners of the box were damaged and the hitch was poking thru. The UPS driver left it at the bottom of the stairs to my front porch. It's a drop in fit if your Honda Pilot is upside down. Very difficult to get into position under the vehicle with the vehicle on the ground. I watched the video and I highly recommend it. Drop the spare tire like they say. Better yet get someone to install it. My wife and I did it in about 2 hours which is ridiculous to wrench in 6 bolts. They are fine to medium thread machine screws and have to go in straight and square. The hitch is so awkward and cumbersome to handle. We put ammo cans I had under the sides and recvr and built them up 2 layers until I could get 1 bolt in and then it was easy peasy. Do not completely install any 1 bolt until you have all 6 bolts almost completely installed. You need a 1/2" drive socket wrench and extsn. You also need a 22mm socket as mentioned in the video. Two guys under the SUV on a lift, they make it look easy. It is not easy because as I mentioned before this thing is heavy and awkward. It loves gravity. I dont know how you could lift it up and put in the bolts (easily). Good luck.

by: Handsome Dan11/24/2022
Buy this thing. We used it for our family trip from Minnesota to Tennessee. On the way back we went through a tornado in TN a a winter storm in Iowa. The bag was a frozen block of ice on the back of our vehicle that I had to blast with a heater just to thaw enough to get to the zipper. Once I had it opened up, everything inside was bone dry and zero damage. Awesome. The hitch is really easy to use and a quick on/off whenever needed. Really well made product!

The Curt Hitch is exactly what I need and the installation was straight forward. Make sure that you have a helper to lift the hitch up into position and you have a proper torque wrench as it will take some effort to get them torqued up to the spec in the instructions. I would have given this a 5 star but the way the hitch and enclosed Curt wiring harness was sent needs some work. The Curt wiring harness plastic package was just tossed into the hitch box. This allowed the hitch to smash open the unprotected plastic package and scattered all of it's contents and some of it when out of the large hole that the hitch punched through the carton. It could have been easily taped up to the hitch to give it some protection. On the plus side, E-trailer did promptly sent out a replacement Curt wiring harness kit so that I could complete the installation.

Fast delivery. Fast customer service responsiveness. Installation went perfectly, without a hitch (pun intended). Very easy on the 2020 Pilot. One recommendation I would add, is to lube the 6 bolts and threaded holes and run the bolts all the way in and out once before lifting the hitch up in place. Trust me, you'll thank me for it. I had to install this myself, so I temporarily held one side up with steel wire/coat hanger. Then bolted the opposite side up loosely, then did the other side. Total time about 35 minutes.

100% satisfied with this purchase from etrailer.com. Everything from ordering online, to customer service, to delivery, everything was super easy. The box was damaged but the hitch arrived in great shape. Not a scratch.
Installation was a breeze. With the help of a buddy who also purchased a hitch from etrailer.com, installation took less than 15 minutes. Thank you!

This is a great hitch and a perfect fit. I really like that the only part that is visible is the ball mount receiver, and even that is recessed under the bumper. I'm a return etrailer customer, and I really appreciate their prices, service, intuitive web site and instructional videos.

So after a year this hitch has been awesome. Ive towed my pop up camper and my 1970 VW beetle to shows and the shop. I recommend this hitch to any Honda Pilot owner
by: Tammy 10/26/2023
Received my hitch in just a few days of ordering and I was able to install all by myself with a little creative lifting. E trailer is the way to go, I had gotten a local quote for a hitch install and it was double what I paid for the Curt and that didn’t include the installation charge. I’ll be coming back to etrailer again.

The Curt Trailer Hitch C13146 fit my 2022 Honda Pilot SE perfectly. The gloss black finish looks great with the Pilot SE black bumper trim. Also the Hands Free tailgate works fine on either side of the 2" receiver. This Curt Trailer Hitch was a much more economical option then the OEM Hitch. The only reason for the 4 stars is the package had a hole in the box & the four pin brackets was missing from my order....etrailer should consider shipping the smaller components separately.

Great price, great product. I installed it on my wife's 2016 Honda Pilot. Installation was easy, just awkward since the hitch is super heavy and I had to do it myself -- took about 90 minutes to do it myself -- would take a lot less tine to install if I had another strong adult to help.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Item C13146 for my 2018 Honda Pilot AWD EXL arrived on time. The box it came in had a few holes but the hitch itself and the 6 bolts were in great shape and well-built. The installation video is perfect. My awesome wife and I installed it in about half an hour. It looks good on my SUV and I like that it doesn't stick out that much, shins are safe from hitting it. We finally used it with a bike rack and hauled 3 mountain bikes, and it worked great. This product has my recommendation.

Hello folks ,
I hope to help others with my review. First I have a 2021 Honda Pilot SE. I am using the hitch to mount a bike rack only. I am not towing anything and did not hook up any lighting harness. The hitch fits perfectly via simple bolts that are already predrilled into the car frame. This is a very simple install if you are not doing any wiring. Took less than 30 min. Some advice is you need 2 people to at least get 2 bolts started one on each side. To help clarify some confusion I had but could not find any details. The SE pilot has 20 inch wheels. If you are using the factory spare tire the hitch will fit fine. The factory spare is a compact spare and it fits fine. Lower the spare do the install then crank it back up. I was concerned about the hands free rear door sensor not working. The sensor works fine for me without installing the relocation kit. I am not an expert but it appears that the relocation kit for the kick sensor is needed if your hitch goes through the rear bumper. This hitch hangs just below the factory bumper and the hands free sensor works fine. Frankly the sensor is a bit quirky but yes it works. If you can use a socket wrench you can install this without an issue. If your car is new the bolt holes will be nice and clean and the bolts thread right on. Nice quality product and vet simple install. Very satisfied. Took longer to make breakfast then put this on.

I am very satisfied with the product.
Thank you for delivering what you promised!
by: Christopher06/17/2020
Excellent product, fast shipping. The box was really torn up on delivery, but I blame FedEx/ups for that. There were no scratches or anything on the trailer hitch despite the box being torn up.
Install was relatively easy. The bolt holes in the frame were really gummed up from road salt and dirt here in NH. It took me a good 40 mins to clean those holes out with a copper pipe cleaner, wd40 and some break cleaner.
The actual install of the trailer hitch was 5-10 mins after that.
Dropped the spare tire, laid on the driveway underneath had my wifelift and hold one side while I threaded 1 bolt on. The went to her side and secured that side. The rest was just torquing them in and putting the spare back.
Perfect fit and it hides real nice, doesn't stick out at all.
This is my second purchase from etrailer, the price and ease of install means I will probably be back again for my next car/truck

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch
- Does Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit 2021 Honda Pilot SEI checked with Curt for you and can verify that your 2021 Honda Pilot SE is 100 percent compatible with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13146. Additionally, if you plan on doing some towing and need a trailer wiring harness, the correct part is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118760. I have added links below to some video reviews for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Does Curt Hitch C13146 Fit 2020 Honda PilotYes, the Curt hitch part # C13146 is a confirmed fit for your 2020 Honda Pilot. This is a really solid choice for a hitch too as it has plenty of towing capacity, is mostly hidden for a concealed look, and has the highest quality powder coat so it will be the most resistant to corrosion. I attached a picture and install video for this for you to check out as well.

- Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2014 Acura MDXFor your 2014 Acura MDX I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13146 as we have found that the powder coat finish Curt uses holds up the best over time, and it has the same 900lb tongue weight rating and 6000lb trailer weight rating as the other hitches available so it is plenty strong. When we installed the # C13146 we found that from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver was 14". You mentioned that from the ground to the trailer was 12". If that measurement was to...

However, there is a bracket (Honda part number I08L91-TG7-100C) you can purchase from the dealer to retain this. This is actually the trailer hitch I recommend for use with your folding cargo carrier because it offers better ground clearance than the Draw-Tite counterpart. The Curt hitch also...

- Recommended Equipment Needed for Towing with a 2020 Honda PilotYou are right that the towing equipment that you need for your 2020 Honda Pilot begins with a trailer hitch, and the best option for that is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13146 because of Curt's reputation for making the highest-quality trailer hitches.

For the 2018, I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13146. Please note, if your Pilot has wheels larger than 18 inches, the spare tire will not fit under the vehicle with the hitch installed. If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like part # 118760 for a 4 pole connector or # 118286 for...

You should note that if your vehicle has lower capacities (sounds like it does), you would need to go by the lower figures as overall capacity.

It is a good idea to check your owner's manual to obtain your vehicle's towing capacity and follow which ever has the lowest weight capacity rating.

view full answer... - Why Do Trailer Hitches for 2016 Honda Pilot Have Different Capacities Than Owners ManualFirst thing you should note is that the lowest rated component in a towing setup, whether it is the hitch, ball mount, or even the vehicle, is the overall towing capacity since you are only as strong as your weakest link. If Honda states that the max tongue weight capacity for the 2016 Honda Pilot is 350 lbs then using a higher rated trailer hitch would not allow you to tow a trailer with 400 lbs of tongue weight.
