Yes, the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75599 is the correct hitch for your 2008 Honda Pilot. It has a 3,500 lb total trailer capacity which would be more than enough for your 2,000 lb trailer. You would need to check the owners manual of your vehicle to verify that your vehicle also has the needed towing capacity. 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 also want the part # 118336.
