Trailer Hitch And Trailer Wiring For 2015 Honda Accord
Question:
I just purchased a 2015 Honda Accord and in need of a trailer hitch. Do you install these ? I could not do it myself. Im looking to pull bricks, dirt wishing this car were a truck or maybe even a 6 foot trailer packed full....can I do this with my car? Thanking you in advance,

The trailer hitches we offer for a 2015 Honda Accord are Class l hitches and have a 2,000 lb towing capacity. You will want to check your owner's manual or with your dealership to make sure you do not exceed the towing capacity of your Accord.
The trailer hitch I recommend is the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C11496. This hitch has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. Since you need to have the hitch installed I recommend having this done by a qualified mechanic. The exhaust will need to be lowered and the heat shield will need to be trimmed for installation.
Since you are planning on doing some light towing with your Accord I recommend a ball mount like part # 3593. This ball mount can be used with either a 2-1/8 inch rise or a 2-3/4 inch drop. For a hitch ball I recommend part # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball or part # 19258 for a 2 inch hitch ball.
If you are towing you will need a trailer connector at the back of your Accord. I recommend part # C56173 if you have LED Taillights and part # 118596 if you do not have LED Taillights. You will connect the harness on the driver and passenger side in the trunk compartment behind the felt liner. You then run a hot lead to the car battery and you will have a 4-way connector for the trailer.
