Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2017 Honda Pilot

Question:

My 2017 honda pilot did not come with a tow package. I found the tow hitch receiver but am confused which wiring package to get. The ones Ive read describe a factory tow package... I want a simple wiring package that will have brake, running, turn and reverse, allowing me to tow my small boat. Thxs

To provide basic lighting functions like turn signals, brake lamps and running lights for your small boat trailer, use the Tekonsha # 118760 which will provide a functioning 4 pole trailer connector. This harness is compatible with all models of the 2017 Honda Pilot.

The # 118265 wiring harness is a fit for 2012-2015 Pilot models, and wouldn't work with your 2017 model.

I've linked to an install video showing the harness being installed on a 2019 Honda Pilot. The procedure on your 2017 model would be identical.
