There is a connector in all 2017 Honda Pilots in the rear cargo area on the driver side, behind a storage compartment to plug in a trailer wiring harness, like the Tekonsha # 118760. Look at figures A, B, C, and D in the install details I've linked for you. In addition everything you need for trailer wiring is included with the # 118760 harness.
If you're also looking for a hitch I recommend the etrailer.com, part # E98840. It's a great quality hitch with a black matte finish. I've linked an install video an Acura for you. It uses the same hitch so the install process is very similar.
