There is an adapter available for the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # HM43125 that fits your 2013 Honda Ridgeline.

All you need is the Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole Vehicle End Trailer Connector # 30717; you can just plug this into the 4-way and tie off the additional wires you are not using.

I strongly recommend using Dielectric Grease # LT37534 to help stop any corrosion between the two connectors. You will also want to use Mounting Brackets # 18138 with # 18140 to mount the 7-way to your Ridgeline's trailer hitch. I have added a link to a video review which shows exactly how you will use the brackets.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…
