For your 2020 Honda Pilot we have the very easy to install Tekonsha 7-way kit part # 118286 that I recommend for you. This installs very easily to a port already present on your Pilot which means there's no hardwiring. The converter box of the kit is also very solid too which means it will be very reliable.

I attached an install video for this kit on a similar 2017 Honda Pilot for you to check out as well.
