Expert Reply:
I am happy to help you get the trailer wiring harness that you need for the 2009 Honda Pilot. I recommend the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector part # 118253 which will plug into your factory tow harness behind the rear bumper and give you a 7-way trailer connector on the Pilot. This will give you the functions to tow a trailer with brakes.
If you need a bracket to mount the 7-way I recommend part # 18159 which does not require drilling to use.
If you only need a 4-Way connector to illuminate the trailer lights (without brakes) you can use T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118491 instead. The Tekonsha brand wiring has proven to be more reliable and durable than the other brands especially the converters. I have attached installation videos of both for your reference.
If you need to mount the 4-way I recommend Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat part # 18144 with the Curt bracket that does not require drilling part # C57202.
