Expert Reply:
Yes, you can use the Extra Long Ball Mount 10,000 lbs, item # BM20, on your 2006 Honda Pilot as long as you stay within the capacity of the lowest rated item in the system.
This means that whichever item (vehicle, hitch, ball mount, or ball) has the lowest gross trailer weight or tongue weight rating will be the maximum you can tow or carry in the hitch on your vehicle.
Some items you may need along with the ball mount are listed below.
