Question:
How do I install trailer wiring on my 2020 Honda Pilot?

Expert Reply:
The wiring I recommend you install is the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118760. This has proven to be the most reliable wiring offered and comes with everything you'll need to make your installation happen.
To install this harness you simply need to open the tailgate and then open the access panel in the storage compartment on the driver's side and insert the connector into the tow plug harness. You will then ground the white wire by drilling a small hole and using the provided screw.
The 4-flat part of the harness will need to be routed through the grommet hole in the jack storage area to the center of the rear of the vehicle. You will also need to mount the connector's black box module and then simply insert the provided fuses. These will be in the fuse box, under the hood of your Pilot near the driver's side. The fuses - which are included - will need to be placed in positions #2, #3, and #11.
Once installed you can use Curt No-Drill Bracket for 6-Way or 7-Way Round Trailer Connector Mounting Bracket - Long part # C57202 and Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat part # 18144 to attach the wiring to your hitch at a fixed location or you can simply wrap it around the receiver tube and secure it with the attached cover. I've included the installation video we did here to help you along. It is on a 2019 but has the same info you'll need. Happy Hauling!
