- Comparing Trailer Wiring Harnesses For a 2010 Honda Pilot
- Since you have a tow package on your 2010 Honda Pilot, that means it is wired from the factory to accept a 7-Way trailer connector. The correct harness then would be # 118253. It comes with the necessary fuses, relays, and converter box to add the 7-Way, which is also included. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.
If the vehicle did not come with a factory tow package that means that it is not wired from the factory for a 7-Way, but you can add a 4-Way using...

- You are correct that Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch brands were sister companies, both part of Cequent Performance Products, and that their hitches # 75599 and 87454 are identical apart from their branding. Hidden Hitch is now discontinued.
You are also correct that the Curt hitch option for your 2006 Pilot, part # 13328, does include an additional mounting flange at its center that is not used on the other hitches. In some cases this extra flange will require trimming of the rear fascia;...
view full answer... - What is the Difference Between the etrailer Cargo Carrier and the Scratch and Dent Cargo Carrier
- I'm happy to explain.
The 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches, part # e98874, and the Scratch and Dent Cargo Carrier - 24"x60" - 2" Hitch, part # e89GR, are in fact the same product.
The "Scratch and Dent" version is simply one of the etrailer Cargo Carriers with a few scratches/dents in it, allowing us to offer it at a discounted price.
I've linked to a video review of this carrier for you to look at.

- The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13146 and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98840 that fit your 2019 Honda Pilot are nearly identical with the only difference being the powder coat finish. The Curt receiver has a gloss black powder coat finish while our etrailer receiver has a matte black finish which I prefer personally. I find the matte finish has a more OEM look as it matches with the trim panels that are on your Pilot. Both class III receivers have the same weight capacities of...

- The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Bike Rack w/ Cargo Carrier for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches # HR1450Z-85 can accommodate 2 bikes with a cargo carrier, two bikes alone, or the cargo carrier alone.
The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack w/ Cargo Carrier for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches
Item # HR1400Z-85 can accommodate 2 bikes with a cargo carrier, two bikes alone, 4 bikes alone, or the cargo carrier alone. So the 4 bikes alone option is the only difference between the two racks.

- Besides the huge price difference, there will not be a lot of differences between aftermarket hitches like # 13328 and the factory or dealer option hitches. I do not know who makes the factory or dealer option Honda hitches but I can give you the specs for the Curt hitch and you can compare them to the factory hitch specs.
The Curt hitch is rated for 350 pounds tongue weight, 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight. When used with weight distribution it is rated for 500 pounds tongue weight...

- The Curt Trailer Hitch # C13146 and the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch # e98840 are identical in their design and measurements with the only difference being the Curt has a gloss black powder coat finish whereas the etrailer.com has a matte black powder coat finish. The matte black will do a better job at hiding scratches and dings from road debris so I recommend ours over the Curt option.
With that being said, these trailer hitches can only fit with an 18" or smaller spare tire. If yours...

- Tekonsha 4-pole wiring harness kit # 118760 is a fit for the 2016 through 2018 Honda Pilot. Part 118679 is now discontinued. The harness # 118760 is the new version that includes a second connector with a blue wire that should be connected to the mating plug on Pilots that have the backup sensors. If you use this harness on a Pilot without the sensors then that second connector with the blue wire simply is not used.
I confirmed the above information with my contact at Tekonsha.
Both kits...

- The difference between the products is that T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Way Flat # 118679 is no longer manufactured. They are making way for the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118760 which has an upgraded circuit board.

view full answer... - Difference Between # 118265 and # 118558 Trialer Wiring Harnesses for 2014 Honda Pilot
- Because the 7-way offers 3 different circuits that the 4-pole unit doesn't (reverse lamp, brake controller output and 12-volt accessory voltage), the wiring harnesses of the two are indeed different.
Since all your existing equipment uses a 4 pole, I'd recommend using the # 118558. If at some time in the future you decide to tow something that uses a 7-way connector, you can always upgrade using an adapter like # 37185.
view full answer... - Aluminum vs. Steel Cargo Carrier are there Any Disadvantages for Aluminum Construction
- You are correct there is a weight advantage for aluminum, item # C18100, over steel, item # CC-100, but the biggest reason aluminum is considered over steel, for most of our customers, is corrosion resistance and appearance. You do not need to upkeep the carrier with spray paint every couple of years with aluminum like you do steel.
As far as disadvantages, there really are none. As long as the weight capacity of the aluminum carrier is rated the same as the steel carrier they will both...
view full answer... - Is there a Difference Between the Curt and Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Harnesses for a 2004 Honda Pilot
- As far as how the Curt and Tow Ready trailer wiring harnesses for the 2004 Honda Pilot function and install they are the same. The guts in each of the converter boxes is not quite the same. The Curt harness # C55336 uses surface mount circuitry meaning components are soldered directly to a circuit board.
The Tow Ready/Tekonsha harness # 118336 uses through-hole circuitry which you have probably seen before in just about everything. If it were me I would go with # 118336 because we here...

- The different types of car top cargo carriers, enclosed boxes such as the Thule Motion XT # TH629806 and metal basket carriers like their Canyon XT # TH859XT, each offer certain advantages and the better option for you may depend on the nature of your cargo items. Skis for instance clearly will do better in a cargo box, as will more delicate items that need protection from the elements.
If your 2012 Honda Pilot has factory-installed side-to-side roof rack bars the either of the above products...
view full answer... - Tekonsha 7-Way Wiring Harness vs. Curt 7-Way Wiring Harness for 2018 Honda Pilot
- The difference between the 7-way harnesses available for your 2018 Honda Pilot comes down to quality and reliability. Over the years we have found the Tekonsha brand to be far more reliable than Curt so I strongly recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way Trailer # 118286.
This harness also has higher maximum amperage than the Curt which means it offers you better protection against potential shorts.
To mount this use mounting bracket # HM48625.

view full answer... - Difference Between the Curt and Etrailer Hitches for a 2004 Honda Pilot
- The Curt hitch for the 2004 Honda Pilot, part # 13328, and the etrailer one, part # e98851, are almost the same. As you mentioned, the finish is the only difference between them.
The matte finish of the etrailer one helps to prevent scratches and corrosion, which is why it's the one I recommend.
I've linked to a video installation of the Curt since they install the same and we have the video for your 2004 Pilot.
view full answer... - Difference Between Trailer Wiring Harnesses 118558 and C56170
- The biggest difference between the tow trailer wiring harnesses that would fit your 2012 Honda Pilot is that the # C56170 is made by the company Curt and the part # 118558 is made by Tow Ready.
The Tow Ready does include a few more relays, but either harness would work well for you. We tend to have better luck with the Tow Ready harnesses though so I would recommend that one.
view full answer... - Difference Between Hollywood Racks Traveler and Road Runner
- There are a couple more differences in the Hollywood Racks Road Runner item # HR520 and the Hollywood Racks Traveler 5 Bike Carrier HR9200 than the included hitch pin and cable lock. The lower brace on the Road Runner provides anchor points for stabilization straps to run through. This keeps the wheels and tires from spinning while you're driving. The Traveler does not have this feature. The Road Runner has a 150 lbs capacity and the Traveler can carry five bikes up to 35 lbs a piece. The...
view full answer... - Recommended 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Harness for 2012 Honda Pilot
- The way your 2012 Honda Pilot came equipped from the factory will determine which of the two available 4-pole wiring harnesses is correct. If your Pilot has a factory tow package you will use kit # C56170 from Curt. If it did NOT come with a factory tow package then instead you will use kit # 118558 from Tow Ready that also includes the required relays to activate the tow wiring.
The other wiring harness you referenced, part # 118265, is a 7-way type with additional circuits for 12V power...

- So sorry your bike was stolen!
The Saris SuperClamp EX # SA4025F would be my choice because of the integrated stainless steel cable lock. It will secure your bike to the rack to deter theft.
The Yakima HoldUp # Y02443 (see Yakima video at the 2:09 mark) and Thule T2 XTR Pro # TH69TX platform bike racks are quite nice too.
In addition to any of these bike racks, I recommend getting a cable lock # e98891. The lock can secure the bike and possibly the rack to the safety chain loops on...
view full answer... - Difference Between 7-Way Round and 7-Way Blade Connectors
- There is a difference between a 7-way round and and 7-way rv blade connector. If you take a look at the accompanying photo, which is from our linked article on trailer wiring you can see that the connector on the left has blade-style pins while the one on the right has round pins.
There is even an adapter, the Trailer Connector Adapter # HM47425, which is a 7-pole round to 7-way blade if you need to go from the uncommon 7-way round to more common 7-blade.
