2008 Honda Pilot Recommended Parts to Tow a Trailer With Brakes
Question:
Hello. I have a 2008 Honda Pilot. I am going to be towing an 18 foot camper trailer dry weight 2900 pounds. Looking for a recommended hitch and what I need for wiring. The trailer has electric brakes, so I believe I need a 7 way connector.
