Trailer Hitch Fit for 2019 Honda Passport

Question:

I would like to install this hitch e98840 on my 2019 Passport. The Pilot and the Passport are basically the same car. I know there is another more expensive hitch recommended but it sure looks exactly the same as this one. I was under the Passport several times and it sure looks like it will fit. I know the Pilot has a spare tire there and the Passport has a large brace welded to the floor. The hitch looks like it will clear the brace. My mounting bolts are about 40 1/4” c to c. Will e98840 fit my Passport?

I can certainly understand wanting to save as much money as possible, but the only two trailer hitches that fit your 2019 Honda Passport are:

- Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76290

- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13421

The reasons are tied into exactly what you referenced in the difference between the Pilot and Passport. Each trailer hitch is manufactured to fit specific vehicles, and this takes into account exacting details such as space between bolt holes, frame widths and parts in the undercarriage such as spare tires, exhausts and fascia. Though both the Pilot and Passport are made by Honda, they have different configurations and spacing which is why the aforementioned Draw-Tite and Curt are the only fits for your 2019 Honda Passport.

I have added a link to the instructions for both, and in case you were looking to tow, the most cost-effective wiring harness that fits your 2019 Honda Passport is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56291
