Best 2014 Honda Pilot Trailer Hitch Ball Mounts

Fastest delivery I have ever had. Ordered Wednesday at 5PM, arrived Thursday at 3PM. I'm only a couple hundred miles from Wentzville, but still, excellent. The hitch receiver (2008 Pilot) installed quickly and easily. No need to remove spare or lower muffler. I supported the left end on a large cooler and quickly maneuvered the right side above the tail pipes. The mounting holes were right on target. I had to tap mine to remove rust, but that's easy as well. The wiring harness was also a snapto install. Simple to plug into existing fitting and the wiring box tucked away nicely beneath the trim as advertised. There are options about what to do with the wiring tail and trailer connector. I chose the method shown in the video...leave it rubber-banded in the storage well. Others have run it outside through available holes, but I did not want to leave it exposed to road grime. etrailer's videos were very detailed and shown on my specific vehicle for both the hitch and the wiring harness. Good values as well. If I were Draw-Tite (or Curt) I would include a complementary rubber plug with their logo...cheap advertising.

At 68 yrs old, just single-handedly installed the 50 pound Curt hitch receiver on my 2016 Honda Pilot, using two jack stands and the vehicle's car-jack to position it correctly and hand thread the 6 bolts. Made a bit more room for myself by first lifting the back of the vehicle onto a makeshift ramp consisting of two layered 2x6 board. Also first tried to hand tighten the bolts before placing the hitch under the car and found I had a fair bit of rust to work through with rust blaster and wire brush. Instructions were clear and accurate. One tip, do the center bold on the muffler side first (to be able to slide the unit between the muffler and the frame, then the center bolt on the driver's side second. From there, it is a breeze. Took me an hour to get rid of the rust inside the welded bolts, and then an hour to install the hitch.

I bought Tow Package Wiring Harness W/ 7-way Connector (118265), Curt Class III Ballmount -2" ball-2" Drop (C45036), and Adapter 7 To 4 W/tester & Cover (47345) from etrailer for my Honda 2014 Pilot. I ordered Friday and arrived next Monday with free-shipping offer. Installation was very easy with all instruction videos and photos (less than one hour). Tester function on the adapter (7 pole to 4 pole) was very useful to check if the installation was correct. Everything seemed working fine. Soon, I need to rent a trailer which has 4-pole connector. Etrailer price of the adapter is much cheaper than [theirs]. Furthermore it has the tester function which gave me assurance my newly installed equipment was ready to be used (No surprise at [their] store with non-working trailer wiring).

As advertised; time will tell how well this stands to the New England weather.

The item arrived on time and was exactly what I needed. E Trailer is a great place to fill all my towing needs.

Everything worked exactly as stated. Very easy to install. The videos are great. Shipping was fast. Very happy!!

I am using the hitch for a car dolly and a bike rack. The fit is a little loose for the bike rackmI'll see it really works when get on the road.

Great instructions, very timely delivery!

very high quality and fits perfectly.

Everything was delivered as promised. harness was easy to install. will shop here again.

Works great!

I ordered and received the ball mount and sway bar together. They were received very promptly and in excellent shape. They are very heavy, i.e., heavy duty. The bracket that was fitted to the trailer was about half a screw wider than optimal size for my smallish trailer but did fit. Installation was easy. The self-tapping screws functioned well. All-in-all, a 10 out of 10 experience.

Excellent product! With the three different ball sizes, this tri-ball mount gives you a lot of flexibility. Gone are the days of having several different ball mounts to fit different tongues. High quality construction makes this an excellent investment.

Picked up my teardrop in ABQ on 2/17/23, and the Curt ball mount lined up perfectly with no drop/rise, and the extra length gave clearance for my rear door mounted spare tire. This mount is a beast, and the "overbuilt" nature of it gave me confidence that my Bronco would tow the teardrop easily. I also got the Curt Echo wireless brake controller, which synced easily to my phone and was easy to install, set up, and use. Overall a great towing experience, thanks to etrailer and Curt!

Very versatile - can use it on both my vehicles that have very different hitch height. Clean welds, super solid. Weighs a LOT!

As advertised and quick delivery, I am an Etrailer fan!

Strong and works perfectly!

Easy installation, low profile and excellent quality. Exactly what I was looking for in a hitch receiver for our 2021 Pilot.

This was the perfect fit for my Honda Pilot. Installation was very easy; no mistakes were made! The Curt Towing Starter Kit Trailer Hitch Ball Mount was the perfect match for the Trailer Hitch receiver, as it came in a plastic box that fit perfectly in the small stowable compartment in the back of the Honda. Everything stays in the car, tucked away neatly in the plastic box.

Exactly as described. Well made.

We bought this to tow our 3,000 lbs. boat with our Subaru Ascent with a 5,000 lbs. towing capacity. With the OEM ball mount, we could really feel every jolt and jiggle from hard stops, going over bumps in the road, and trailering down dirt roads. However, the dual cushion ball has really improved our trailing experience. Once we get up to speed, we hardly notice we are towing our boat. It's also great because some of the lakes we visit are down dirt roads, and the cushion makes this a much more pleasant experience. I would highly recommend this to anyone towing a boat or larger trailer with a SUV as it maintains that comfortable ride and the jostling of the trailer is much less noticeable.

Rusted within 30 days. The manufacturer refused to warranty the product. I have continued to use it, but it has required some serious rust mitigation and is a flawed product.

Heavy duty , very good quality.
