• Towing Mirror Recommendation for 2019 Honda Pilot
• The best towing mirrors for your 2019 Honda Pilot are the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors # KS3891-2 because they have a large, nearly 8 inch mirror face allowing you a clear view of what is behind you. They are also really easy to install so you can spend more time on the road and less time trying to figure out how in the world to put them on your Pilot. The large face of the mirrors isn't the only reason the K-Source give you a great view; they are also adjustable so you can get the...

• Can Yakima FullBack Trunk Rack Fit Bikes with Oversize Frames
• Yakima doesn't have a max bike frame diameter listed for use with the zip straps of the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633 that you referenced but if you have a bike with an unusual shape or size frame you'll want to use a bike frame adapter part # UB01. This attaches to the seat post and steering stem of the bike and gives you a diameter bar that will easily fit this rack and others like it.

• Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness Compatibility On 2022 Honda Pilot EX-L
• Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98840 will fit on your 2022 Honda Pilot EX-L. This receiver is confirmed to fit all trim levels of the 2022 Honda Pilot. It will also allow for spare tires with up to a 18" diameter wheel, so your T165/80D17 will still fit under the rear of your Pilot. I do recommend installing your wiring kit at the same time you install the receiver as it does make accessing and running the wiring easier. For smaller trailers or using Auxiliary Lights # C53201...

• Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatible With Spare Tire for 2022 Honda Pilot
• The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98840 will work with your spare tire as long as it is not larger than 18". This is the case for all aftermarket hitches. If your tire is larger than 18" your only choice would be to relocate the spare or get a smaller spare tire if you wanted to have it with you. Since you will be towing, you also need wiring to power your trailer's signal lights. For the most reliable option, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring harness # 118760. If you...

• Can Weight Distribution be Used With a 2006 Honda Pilot
• As long as the trailer hitch on your 2006 Honda Pilot is rated for weight distribution (WD), like the etrailer.com # e98851, then you can use it. We just have to make sure that you choose one that is best rated for your towing application. When looking into purchasing a WD system you want to find one with a Tongue Weight (TW) range that the Total Tongue Weight (TTW) of your towing setup falls in the middle of. To find the TTW of your towing setup you will need to add the TW of your fully...

• Add-On Towing Mirrors for 2013 Honda Pilot
• We do have aftermarket towing mirrors that can easily be added to your 2013 Pilot's stock mirrors to improve your rear-view visibility. All of these mirrors are shown on the linked page. These are universal-fit types that bolt, clip or clamp on to the car and they include some extra-large models like the CIPA bolt-on set # CM45000-2. Instead of these which require some drilling into the car I suggest their mirror set # 11650-2 which includes two 5 x 8 mirrors that simply clamp on to the...

• Will the Curt T-Connector Harness 56291 Fit a 2019 Honda Pilot Without Tow Package
• The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56291 will work for you whether you have the factory tow package or not. However, if you do not have the factory tow package then you will need to insert the included fuses into the fuse box in order to activate the trailer lights. If you take a look at the attached photo you will be able to see where the trailer plug is located. I have attached an install video for you as well which also shows this process.

• The Swagman XTC-2 Tilt # S64671 is designed to fit in both 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers, so as long as you've got a trailer hitch receiver on your 2013 Honda Pilot, this will fit without any issues with clearance from the bumper or anything like that.

• Does 2016 Honda Pilot Need Tow Package to Add 7-Way, & 2 to 1-1/4 Reducer For Hitch
• Good question, though your 2016 Honda Pilot does not need the factory tow package to add a 7-way, and the connector will exist under the Pilot even without the tow package. All you'll do is add a 7-way which states "for Factory Tow Package" but will work even if you don't have that because it comes with the necessary fuses to activate the tow package. What you'll need to add a 7-way to a 2016 Honda Pilot is the following: - T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way Trailer...

• Will Yakima Roof Rack Q Towers Fit a 2016 Honda Pilot LX with Naked Roof
• Yakima only has roof rack options if your 2016 Honda Pilot has the flush mounted side rails that run front to back but nothing for models that have a naked roof. We do have other roof rack options that will fit models with a naked roof. I have included a link to them for you. I recommend Rhino-Rack roof rack with Vortex aero bars # RRVA137B-2. You will also need feet # RRRLKVA and fit kit # DK444.

• Will the Swagman Quad Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2011 Honda Pilot
• In order to determine how much clearance there will be with the Swagman Quad bike rack, # S64FR, installed you will need to take one important measurement. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole straight back to the distance required to clear the rear bumper. If that distance is less than 9 inches then the rack will clear the back of your 2011 Honda Pilot. Below are other important measurements: Distance from center of hitch pin hole to: Closest wheel tray: 17-1/4 inches Closest...

• Will The Hands Free Lift Gate Work On a 2022 Honda Pilot With a Trailer Hitch Receiver Installed?
• With the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98840 installed on your 2022 Honda Pilot you will need the relocation bracket that you can get from your local Honda dealer to ensure that you do not lose the ability to use your hands free liftgate. This bracket simply moves the sensor from directly centered on the bumper to a few inches to the side which allows for your foot to be detected by the sensor. The same will be true for the Curt # C13146 Receiver. I do recommend installing your...

• Will 2022 Honda Pilot etrailer Hitch Fit With Hands-Free Liftgate Function?
• It is possible that the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98840 will affect the lift-gate sensors on your 2022 Honda Pilot, but we haven't heard anything about this completely voiding their use. Best case scenario is that you'll be able to get the sensor to work by kicking to either side of the receiver, worst case scenario is needing to pick up a sensor relocator kit from your local Honda dealer. This will be the case with any trailer hitch for your vehicle. If you don't already have...

• Will Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210 Fit on OEM Hitch on 2015 Honda Pilot
• Based on my research, the 2015 Honda Pilot has an OEM 2 inch Class III Trailer Hitch so the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210 would be a great fit for your Pilot. This ball mount only reduces the tongue weight capacity of your OEM trailer hitch when only the receiver portion is used. If you are using an accessory and towing, then the tongue weight is not reduced and the weight of the accessory should be added to the total tongue weight. The ball mount has a tongue weight capacity of...

• Will the Curt Tilting Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Fit When Folded on a 2009 Honda Pilot
• The Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier, item # C18151, provides 6 inches of space between the center of the hitch pin hole on the cargo carrier and the platform railing when folded up. This means that from the center of the hitch pin hole to the farthest out part of the rear bumper or rear mounted spare tire, you must have a measurement of 6 inches or less. Since your vehicle has a rear mounted spare tire you may find that the carrier will not fold completely on your vehicle. Once you have the...
