Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2016 Honda Pilot
Question:
Hello, Ive got a new 2016 Pilot that does not have a factory tow package but I want to purchase your Curt Hitch and a few accessories to facilitate future towing. The items Id like to purchase are as follows: a Curt Custom Fit Class 3, 2x2inch hitch, #13146, a Teconcia T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness #118679, a No Drill Long Bracket, #18136, a No Drill Short Bracket, #18140, and a No Drill 4 Hole Mounting Bracket, 18144. I assume the Long and Short Brackets include the wire clamp part, correct? Since I presently have 2x2inch ball mounts, I have not included them in my inquiry. In your view, will the components Ive listed complete my needs? Id appreciate your comments or advice. Respectfully,

Expert Reply:
Everything you mentioned would set you up well for towing with your 2016 Honda Pilot. The Curt hitch part # C13146 is a confirmed fit that is our best selling option.
The Tekonsha trailer wiring part # 118286 is also a confirmed fit and would work well.
You wouldn't need both the long and short wiring bracket though. The short part # 18140 with the # 18144 would be all that you would need.
