Hitch Recommendation for a 2005 Honda Pilot
Question:
Could you tell me what parts I will need besides the hitch? I.e. Wiring harness, ball hitch, etc. I have the utility trailer and its already wired. This would be for a 2005 Honda Pilot. Thx.

First thing you would need on your 2005 Honda Pilot would be a hitch. For that the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75599 would be a great option. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring you would want the Tow Ready Harness part # 118336.
