  • Should Open Ends of Curt Hitch C13421 be Covered with Rubber Plug
  • Having the crossbeam of the Curt trailer hitch # C13421 open instead of covered with a rubber cover would actually be more ideal in terms of preventing any corrosion. Rubber covers would not prevent all moisture from getting into the beam but they would drastically slow the evaporation process which means they'd hold moisture in the tube and cause corrosion to form faster.

  • How To Install Tekonsha Trailer Brake Controller On 2021 Honda Passport with Factory Pigtail
  • There isn't a direct plug-in-play brake controller wiring harness for a 2021 Honda Passport but you can use the factory brake controller pigtail to install a controller like the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller part # TK90160.

  • Any Vehicles Modifications Required to Install Trailer Hitch on 2020 Honda Passport?
  • Neither the Curt # C13421 or the Draw-Tite # 76290 Class III hitches would require any trimming or modification of the vehicle. Both hitches install in the same manner, bolting to the underside of the frame member, and both would appear pretty identical with only the receiver tube and safety chain loop being visible under the rear bumper. Really the only appreciable difference between the two is that the Draw-Tite # 76290 includes a horizontal bracket welded to the hitch crossbar for...

  • Can I Use the Curt Echo on the 2020 Honda Passport with Factory 7 Way without Brake Wire Connected
  • There's nothing to worry about in this case and you can use the Curt Echo with your 2020 Honda Passport. The reason for the confusion is that brake controllers are not fit guided on our site to particular trailers, since they'll work with any trailer including your Satellite Comet Mini.

  • Brake Controller for 2020 Honda Passport
  • There are no brake controller harnesses available for a 2020 Honda Passport. Brake controllers for this vehicle have to be hardwired in by a local Honda dealer, unless you go with a wireless brake controller. Because of that I highly recommend the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180. I have added a link to a video review as well.

If you don't have reverse sensors then you won't have to plug this into anything. I think that is what you are asking but if not take a look at the installation instructions which are attached below.
