Fit and Compatibility of Wiring Harness on a 2011 Honda Pilot 4WD
Question:
I have a honda pilot 2011 4WD. I need a wiring kit and I see that you have 2 options: part numbers C56366 and 118253. It seems that what i need is the OEM or 118253. Can you assist me in deciding which one to buy? Thanks

Expert Reply:
Which wiring harness you need for your 2011 Honda Pilot 4WD is dependent on what you plan on plugging the harness into.
The Tow Ready # 118491 and the Curt # C56365 are the custom fit harnesses that will give you a 4-way end to plug into typically a small trailer or cargo carrier with lights.
The Tekonsha # 118288 is the custom fit harnesses that will give you a 7-way end socket which is typically found on larger trailers equipped with brakes.
I have linked a couple of images and installation videos for you to check out showing the differences in connectors.
