The Class III Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75599, for the 2006 Honda Pilot does not come with a ball mount, pin, clip, or ball. Only the Class II and I hitches we sell come with a ball mount, pin and clip. This is because the lower Class hitches have to use a certain ball mount according to the manufacturer for safety. A Class III trailer hitch does not have this restriction.

A Class III trailer hitch will also have a higher capacity and is compatible with more accessories than Class I and II trailer hitches. I have included links to our ball mount and hitch class FAQs for you.

I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit, # 989900, for the Class III Draw-Tite hitch. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls (1-7/8 inch diameter and 2 inch diameter), a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag.

For trailer wiring, use T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118336. I have included a link to the installation details and a video showing a typical installation for this wiring harness. I have also included a link to the installation details and video for the hitch.
