Recommended Alternative to OEM Trailer Hitch for 2019 Honda Pilot
Question:
What brand hitch fits like oem fit on 19 pilot?
asked by: STACY
Helpful Expert Reply:
The factory hitch for the 2019 Honda Pilot installs behind the bumper, with the receiver tube actually passing through the fascia under the bumper, while the closest aftermarket installation we offer to that would be the etrailer # e98840 which would have the receiver tube sitting right against the underside of the bumper fascia. From online photos I've seen, it looks like the OEM hitch would use a different bumper fascia.
While the OEM hitch is certainly the cleanest look, it will be very expensive, given that you'll also need a new fascia piece. The etrailer # e98840 is mostly concealed behind the bumper, except for the receiver tube so the crossbar won't be visible.
The main visual objection folks usually have to aftermarket hitches is the fact that most have the crossbars visible. This option isn't as concealed as the OEM, but it certainly looks a lot better at a much more reasonable price.
I've linked you to an install video showing how the hitch fits on the vehicle.
