For your 2018 Honda Pilot I really like the etrailer.com Class III Trailer Hitch, # E98840, because the hidden design gives it an inconspicuous OEM look without sacrificing any towing or tongue weight capacity. It is also the only trailer hitch for your vehicle with the matte finish which keeps your hitch from sticking out like a sore thumb.

This hitch is compatible with most hitch accessories on the market and I've attached links to our hitch accessories for you to check out if you are in the market for one.

If you plan on doing some towing, then you will also want to add a wiring harness and a ball mount. I recommend the Curt T-Connector 4-Way trailer harness, # C56291, which will give you all necessary lighting functions for a trailer. There are several different ball mount options out there because different vehicle and trailer configurations will require different rise and drop lengths based on the height of the vehicle compared to the trailer. The etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit, # 989900, comes with the 2 most common ball mounts along with everything else you will need to complete your towing setup.

I've attached a couple help articles on towing, trailer wiring and ball mounts and installation videos of the trailer hitch and wiring for you to check out.
