The trailer wiring kit I recommend for your 2018 Honda Pilot is the Tekonsha kit part # 118760. The reason I recommend this kit is because it installs without requiring any splicing and has the most reliable converter box of the kits we offer.

Since you plan on doing 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. Since I don't know the coupler height of your trailer it's hard for me to know the exact rise/drop you'd need.

If you are without trailer hitch too I'd recommend the etrailer part # e98840 because it's mostly hidden and has a great looking and durable black matte finish.
