  • Is the Tow Ready Replacement Trailer Wiring Harness # 118253 Compatible with 2007 Honda Pilot
  • To install a 7-way trailer connector on your 2007 Pilot, you will need to start with a 4-pole, # 118336. You would then use an adapter like part # 37185, which would plug into the 4-pole. Once the adapter is plugged in, and the white ground lead is attached to the vehicle frame, all lighting functions are taken care of.

  • Can a Dual Purpose Ball Mount be Used to Carry a Dirt Bike and Tow a Seadoo Trailer
  • I spoke with my contact at Curt and he stated that the dual purpose receivers and ball mounts are not rated for use with something like a dirt bike and carrier. The issue is not the weight but where that weight is placed. It will be too far from the receiver and can cause it to fail. The best option, but still not ideal, is to install a front mount hitch, # 33328, and use the dirt bike carrier in it. However, my contact at Curt did state that for every foot of distance the weight is from...

  • Replacement Brakes Assemblies for a 2009 Flagstaff HW27SC Camper
  • What you will want to do is note the brake mounting flange bolt pattern and the size of your brakes. I did some checking online and it looks like the GVWR of your RV is a little over the 3,500-lb axle weight rating which leads me to believe that you have a 5,200-lb axle. You can verify this by looking on your axle itself for the weight rating and using this list as a guideline: Typical Axle Diameters Based on Axle Capacity - 1,000-lb - 2,000-lb Axles: 1-1/2 inch - 1-3/4 inch diameter -...

  • Does Hitch Installation Affect Operation of Lift Gate Sensors on 2019 Honda Pilot Touring
  • A vehicle like your 2019 Honda Pilot that has lift gate sensors has several of these positioned along the rear bumper. When an aftermarket hitch like # e98840 is installed it may block the center one but the other sensors will continue to function. In practical terms this just means you may need to swing your foot over to the side to trigger one of those other sensors for the lift gate. I linked the written instructions for etrailer hitch # e98840 as well as a complete installation video.

  • Falcon 5250 Tow Bar Compatibility With Roadmaster Base Plate On A 2006 Honda Pilot
  • The Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Item # 1550-1 is compatible with the 2006 Honda Pilot models with no brush guard. It is also compatible with the Flacon 5250 tow bar but the curb weight of the 2006 Honda Pilot is 4,200-4,500lbs so you'll need to make sure that you don't exceed the 5,000lbs weight capacity of the tow bar.

  • RV Fridge is Draining Trailers Battery
  • The 12 volt pin on the vehicle's 7-way is mainly used to maintain a charge on a 12 volt battery or charge a small breakaway battery. It will not be sufficient enough to charge a standard 12 volt battery that is used to power appliances on your trailer. In order to keep the battery charged on your trailer you are absolutely going to need a battery charger and for this I recommend the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D. This charger will use power from the vehicle's alternator...

  • Recommended Brake Controller for a 2022 Honda Pilot w/out the Factory Towing Package
  • Yes, you are correct. One of the features in the towing package for the 2022 Honda Pilot is a port to plug in a brake controller. Without this port you will have to hardwire your brake controller or use one like the Curt Echo item # C51180 that plugs directly into your 7-way. If you are wanting a traditional hardwired brake controller that you can adjust manually you will want to use the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller item # RED24FR. The Liberty is a proportional brake controller...
