The installation of a trailer wiring harness on your 2022 Honda Pilot may seem difficult but it is not as complicated as you would think. The first thing would be deciding on what wiring harness to use, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118760. This harness is going to be our easiest wiring harness to install while also being one of our most reliable.

This is an easy plug and play harness, you will need to plug the harness into a tow plug that will be in an access panel in the rear storage compartment. You can open the compartment with a flathead screwdriver or Trim Pad Remover # ALL648544 (using the Trim Pad Remover will help you not break the fasteners). Once the harness is plugged in and you have attached the ground wire, you simply need to install a few fuses that are included with the harnesses. I have included a picture from the installation instructions that show you where the fuses go. I have also included a video that will walk you through the installation of the wiring harness.

All of the hitches we offer including the #e98840 won't be able to fit a 20 inch spare with the hitch installed. So you have a couple options. You could put the spare in the rear cargo area (you probably won't want to do that), you could keep…
