Best 7-Way Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2020 Honda Pilot
Question:
I bought a trailer with brakes but just realized our Pilot doesn't have the needed 7-way. Do you have any options that plug-in before we go pick it up?

The best seven way trailer wiring harness for a 2020 Honda Pilot is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package part # 118286 which is also the only aftermarket direct plug-in seven way trailer wiring harness available. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness is easy to install because as stated there is no splicing and you don't have to run a power wire up to the battery. I have attached an install video for you. If you want to complete the factory look, add the Mounting Bracket and Installation Hardware part # PK12711U and the No-Drill Bracket part # C57202 which you can see in the attached photo.
If you also need a brake controller which is usually required when using a seven way trailer wiring harness, I recommend the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 which is one of the most popular options on the market currently as it uses your phone to operate therefore you don't have to mount a bulky controller inside the vehicle or learn to use a new device. Also, you don't have to run any wires or do any splicing due to the wireless design which is the most popular aspect of this brake controller.
