7-Way Trailer Connector for a 2013 Honda Pilot
Question:
I am going to install a harness kit to my 2013 Honda Pilot. I will use it to tow a basic trailer and possibly a pop up camper or boat. Should I get the 7 blade type harness or will the 4 flat be good enough.

Expert Reply:
Since you never really know what you might end up needing to tow, I would install the 7-Way, # 118265, on your 2013 Honda Pilot. Then if you needed to tow a trailer that had a 4-Way flat you can just plug in an adapter, # PK12716.
This is much easier than installing a 4-Way and then using an adapter to go to a 7-Way, which would require more work to get it all functional.
