The most hidden trailer hitch we offer for the rear of your 2016 Honda Pilot would be the etrailer hitch part # e98840. The similar Curt hitch for this vehicle would stick out a tiny bit further. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.

There are no front hitches available for your vehicle at this time though.

For trailer wiring you would want the part # 118286. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

If 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.
