Expert Answers about Honda Pilot


  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch on 2019 Honda Pilot Allow Use of Hands-Free Liftgate
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13146 will very likely block the hands-free liftgate sensor. However, a sensor relocation kit (Honda part number I08L91-TG7-100C) is available directly through Honda. It moves the sensor off center to accommodate the installation of the trailer hitch on the 2019-2021 Pilot. Also, if you plan on towing and need a wiring harness, the correct fit for a 2019 Honda Pilot is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118760.

  • Will Switching to LED Lights on Trailer Prevent Fuses From Blowing on 2013 Honda Pilot
  • What I can tell you is that switching from incandescent lights to the LED Combination Tail Light Kit # TLL56RK for your ShoreLand'r trailer will 100 percent prevent you from continually blowing fuses. The reason is the minuscule power draw of these lights, with the stop and turn lights drawing about 0.27 amps and the marker lights about .06 amps. Your problem will definitely be solved in that regard. What we don't know for sure is everything the fuses on your 2013 Honda Pilot serve. I...

  • How To Determine Wire Functions On 2014 Honda Pilot For Trailer Harness
  • Since auto manufacturers can many times use different wire colors so you will want to test the wiring on your Honda Pilot. I recommend using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 and check each of the wires for function by having someone run through the functions while each wire or pin in the connector is tested. Typically, the purple wire is for the reverse lights, but again since the wire colors may be different the best way to know for sure is to use a circuit tester. I have attached...

  • Can I Use A Weight Distribution Hitch On A 2014 Honda Pilot?
  • I can certainly shed some light on the situation. I suspect that camping world told you this, because Honda discourages the use of a weight distribution hitch on a 2014 Pilot. The owners manual clearly states that it is not recommended as it may reduce handling and performance. We generally recommend contacting a dealership for more specifics on your vehicle. All of that being said, if you do choose to use a weight distribution hitch, I recommend the Blue Ox TrackPro # BLU36FR. This is...

  • Is it Okay to Run Vehicle While It Is Connected to Rightline CampRight SUV Tent
  • Due to the close proximity of the exhaust pipe to the tent, I would strongly discourage you from running the vehicle while the tent is installed. Not only could the heat from the exhaust pipe melt the fabric of the tent, but exhaust fumes could very easily enter the tent, leading to carbon monoxide poisoning.

  • Tekonsha T-One 4-Way Wiring Harness For a 2022 Honda Pilot
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118760 is the same for the 2016-2022 Honda Pilot. I have linked an installation video below for this harness on a 2021 Pilot so you can see the installation process. The installation is different than the previous T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118558 that fit the 2012-2015 Pilot. This harness had a connector on the outside of the vehicle for the 4-way and did not require as much removal of interior panels as the new body style. A Mounting Bracket...

  • How to Test Operation of TowReady Part # 118253 Honda Pilot Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring
  • If it is not convenient to attach a properly functioning trailer to your vehicle to test the new wiring package, you can test each function (tail light, brake light, turn signal, etc) by using your test probe on each pin at the vehicle 7-way connector. A helper will make this process easier as you will need someone to activate the lights and brakes while you apply the test probe to the corresponding connector pins. I have attached a link to a help article concerning trailer wiring. This...

  • Does 7-Way For 2022 Honda Pilot Charge Trailer Battery
  • Your trailer battery will receive a maintenance charge, but will not charge up when towing with your 2022 Honda Pilot and plugged into the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118286. So if you're okay with just a maintenance charge and not fully charging the battery when driving, then all you need is the aforementioned 7-way. But since you don't want to charge the battery from your Honda, the only way to do so is with a wall charger such as...

  • Best Bike Rack That Can Carry 2 Or 4 Bikes
  • There is a 2 Bike version of the Saris Freedom 4 # SA4412B and I've included a video of me using it! You can either get the 2 bike version or the 4 bike version, one cannot convert into the other. If you're looking to have a 2 bike rack that can turn into a 4 bike rack I would recommend getting the Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA12B and get the 2 bike add on # BA02B if you wanted to carry 4 bikes! The add-on can be taken off just as easy as it was put on so your not stuck with only a 2 or 4 bike...

  • How to Tell if a 2010 Honda Pilot has a Factory Installed Tow Package
  • To find out if your 2010 Honda Pilot came with a tow package from the factory, the most certain way is to have a dealer run the VIN. There are some tell tale signs, however, that may lead you in the right direction. If the Pilot has a functioning 7-Way trailer connector, you probably have a tow package. If you do not have the 7-Way plug at the rear of the vehicle, you will need the Honda Pilot Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring (7-Way) with Circuit Protected ModuLite HD Module, # 118253...

  • Will the Backup Camera on a 2011 Honda Pilot be Blocked with a Kuat 2.0 Bike Rack?
  • From my research on the 2011 Honda Pilot, the backup camera is located above the center of the rear license plate below the Honda emblem. I called my contact at Kuat, and he told me that the measurement of the hitch pin hole to the tallest part with only two trays on the rack (when folded) on the Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack # BA22B-BA02B is 24-3/4 inches. While I cannot confirm with certainty if the folded NV 2.0 would block your camera, I recommend measuring the pinhole to the camera location...

  • Alternative To Weight Distribution To Reduce Vehicle Sag When Towing Trailer w/ 2006 Honda Pilot LX
  • If Honda states that a weight distribution system is not to be used on your 2006 Honda Pilot LX, I would follow the recommendations set by Honda. However, I do have a solution that will help reduce vehicle sag when towing your 2006 Flagstaff 625D. Not installing a weight distribution system, will not allow you to reap the benefits that a weight distribution system provides. With a weight distribution system, the load you are carrying is distributed throughout the frame of the vehicle....

  • Can The Wiring Be Removed From The Round Connector To Route Through Mounting Bracket?
  • There are small retainers on the wiring for the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118286 which will allow you to remove them from the round connector. The tabs are part of the metal terminal you press into the connector. You will need some very small pics to press the tabs. This connector should allow you to still pass through the Mounting Bracket # PK12711U. Another option is to make a small cut in the mounting bracket to make it like the Bracket # HM48625. That small slit will allow you...

  • Is There a Trailer Brake Assembly and Hub Warranty?
  • All of the trailer brake assembly and hub/drum parts come with a warranty from the manufacturer against defects but there is not a specific time or mileage warranty on those components unless specifically stated by the manufacturer. For instance the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 5.2K to 7K # AKEBRK-7-SA do come with a limited one year warranty.

  • Securing the Philadelphia Phillies MLB 2 Inch Hitch Receiver Cover On a 2011 Honda Pilot
  • The pin and clip that is referenced on the product page of the Philadelphia Phillies MLB Hitch Cover, # OHCC2121, refers to a metal trailer hitch pin like part # PC3. The metal pin slides through the small round holes in your trailer hitch to secure items to the hitch and the clip is attached to the end of the pin to ensure the pin will not slip out of your trailer hitch. Another popular option over a standard pin and clip is a trailer hitch receiver lock like part # e98880. These locks...

  • Which Pin on Reese 78118 Trailer Connector Adapter Goes Hot With Vehicle In Reverse
  • On your 7-way on the vehicle, the center pin would power up when the vehicle is put in reverse, assuming that the 7-way was correctly installed. On the # 78118 adapter, the pin all the way to the right will power up when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. I've linked a demonstration video for the # 78118 Adapter.
