Expert Answers about Honda Pilot

• Question About a Product
• Hi Emily, Before buying anything you'll want to verify that both the Pilot and the trailer hitch installed on it are rated for use with a weight distribution hitch (WDH). From what I can see Honda does not recommend it because it can shift the weight and put too much stress on the frame if installed incorrectly. If everything checks out you can go with the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-0450. This system has a tongue capacity range from 200lbs up to...

• Over Under Conversion Kit Needed To Lower The Height Of A Boat Trailer
• Hey Travis, Overslung suspensions have the leaf springs above the axle and underslung systems have the leaf springs below the axle. We offer conversions kits to switch between these styles, but you'll need to first measure the diameter of your axle to choose the correct kit; # K71-384-00 (2-3/8" diameter axles) or # K71-385-00 (3" diameter axles). If you're currently in the overslung position and want to switch to the underslung position then you can choose the appropriate kit and make...

• 4-Way Wiring Harness For 2023 Honda Pilot Without Tow Package
• If your 2023 Honda Pilot doesn't have the tow package port in the storage cubby area on the driver's side that is needed for the plug-in Curt T-Connector # C48ZV then there isn't another plug-in option, you'd have to use the hardwired Curt Powered Tail Light Converter w/ 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # C59496. You may want to check just to make sure so you don't have to do more wiring than is necessary. The cut out below is from the instructions of the # C48ZV for where to find the white...

• Parts Needed to Install Yakima Round Bar Crossbars on 2024 Honda Pilot with Raised Rails
• Based on the picture and dimensions of your raised rails the correct claw from the RailGrab system you would need to use the medium claw which unfortunately a size that was discontinued. Maybe you could find it elsewhere and it was part number Y8880205. The best solution I can provide is the current Yakima foot kit part # Y33TR which does fit your 2024 Honda Pilot raised rails with the round bar adapter part # Y03536.

• Thule Doubletrack vs Swagman Chinook for a 2017 Honda Pilot
• I recommend going with the Swagman Chinook # S64683 over the Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT # TH92BJ strictly because the Chinook has a higher weight capacity at 45 lbs per bike as opposed to 35 lbs per bike for the DoubleTrack Pro XT. The only things that the DoubleTrack Pro XT has over the Chinook is that it has a more stylish look (in my opinion), it is made in the USA, and it weighs 15 lbs less than the alternative. With that being said, the Chinook still has a great look, it comes with...

• What is the Tongue Weight Capacity of the etrailer Hitch for a 2023 Honda Pilot?
• The etrailer Hitch item # e27KR has a maximum tongue weight of 900 lbs when used with a weight distribution system. The limiting factor here is going to be your 2023 Pilot's actual tongue weight capacity. I have no information on the capabilities of the OEM hitch but you will want to go to your owner's manual or contact Honda and find out what your Pilot's tongue weight capacity is.

• Installation Instructions for Curt Front-Mount Hitch 33328 for 2004 Honda Pilot
• I linked the installation instructions for the Curt hitch # 33328 which is the front-mount hitch that fits your 2004 Pilot. This front hitch requires no drilling and bolts on with included hardware using pre-drilled mounting holes as noted in the photo. I also included two helpful articles and a video on hitch installation. One article covers the entire process and the other article and video address the process of cleaning out the Pilot's frame weld nuts. These nuts can develop corrosion...

• Locking Hitch Pin for etrailer 4 Bike Rack
• I sure can! The correct hitch lock for the etrailer 4 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches e98913 is part # e99047. This has the threaded hitch pin so you still get the anti-rattle feature out of it. If you don't already have a cable lock then I also recommend picking up the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891. If you choose the keyed alike option for both products we will make sure these match when you order them so you just need 1 key for both locks.

• Draw Tite Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2024 Honda Passport Black Edition
• Sorry for the confusion Michael but the Draw Tite hitch part # 76290 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2024 Honda Passport Black Edition. To use the Curt Echo Mobile brake controller # C51180 you would need a functional 7-way at the rear of the vehicle which we have with the part # C35ZV. The Draw Tite hitch has a bracket on it for mounting trailer wiring so the only thing else you'd need is the part # C67UR and you'd be set.

• Replacement Foot End Cap for Thule Roof Rack on 2012 Honda Pilot
• If what you have now that you need a replacement for looks like the part # 852-2382001 then I would feel confident that this is what you would need but you might go out and check again to be sure it's exactly the same. To replace the plastic lock cores with actual lock cores you would just need the part # TH450400 which comes with everything to all locks to the feet of your current rack.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For A 2024 Honda Pilot
• Hi Pete, Yes, we currently offer the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e27KR for your 2024 Honda Pilot. This is a custom-fit installation but the crosstube will interfere with the space available for your spare tire so you won't be able to mount a full-size spare and would need a donut-style spare. This hitch comes with a 6K towing capacity and 600lb tongue weight capacity, but you'll want to refer to your owner's manual to confirm your Pilot's limitations. If you plan on towing a trailer...

• Do I Need Additional Fuses for the Main Fuse Box on a 2024 Honda Pilot to Power a Wiring Harness?
• Yes, it is! Honda and other manufacture's like to leave the fuses out of new vehicles that do not come with a functional towing package to save on costs. You can verify if you're missing the fuses by checking your fuse box but I am pretty sure they won't be there. I took a look at your owner's manual and you'll want to look at fuses 7 and 12 in your main fuse box. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # C48ZV only comes with the fuse necessary...
