Question:
Hello, I need everything that will allow me to tow a trailer with brakes with my 2023 Passport. I don't have anything towing related installed on it right now. Thank you.

For a complete towing setup for your 2023 Honda Passport you will need a hitch, wiring, ball mount, and brake controller. I recommend the following:
-etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e44AR
-Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # CU86FR
-etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches # 989900
-Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR
The etrailer hitch is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It features a matte black powder coat finish for an OEM look which also helps hide dirt and scratches.
The Curt wiring harness will give you the 7-way connection you need for brakes. The ball mount kit comes with a 1-7/8" and 2" ball as well as a bag for storage.
The main unit of the Tow-Pro Liberty mounts out of sight so only the control knob is visible in the cab. This means it takes up virtually no space and has a nice clean look. The knob controls the braking power and acts as the manual override. For a plug and play installation you will also need the # C51392 and # 331-TPH-019.
I have attached some review and installation videos below for your reference.
