Best 2018 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.

Thank you for the informative video instructions as well as helpful / honest reviews to research prior to making the purchase. I do not have anything to add that has not been covered in the reviews. Here is a recap of my experience that has been consistent with others. 1. Box was received with the driver side of the hitch pushed out. Only minor scratches which you can not see when installed and it did not impact the installation. Wrapping each end would probably be a good idea as stated in other reviews. 2. Removing 14 years of rust was the hardest part of the install (from the passenger side holes). Total time was approximately 1 hour as others have experienced. I used the bolts from the factory tie hook to work out the rust using 1/2" round wire brush attached to a cordless drill along with a full can of WD-40. 3. Installation of the hitch took about 30 minutes with assistance of a foot stool. 4. Plug-n-play electrical connector took about 10 minutes after watching the video. 5. Perfect fitment, fast delivery, easy website ordering experience and follow-up status notifications, and I can not be more pleased with the cost being under $200 for a DIY project. I required this setup to tow a ~1,000 lb motorcycle trailer with a ~1,000 lb motorcycle next week and my Honda has a 3,500 lb towing capacity. Thank you etrailer.com!

This was a great find for my 2003 Honda Pilot. I already have the hitch rack on the car but needed the wire harness and towing gear. Honda doesn't have the wire harness anymore and this was so convenient and easy to do.

package arrived on time. the box arrived damaged scratches on paint but I still installed it. installation was easy thanks to you tube. the bracket for the wiring was short for my 2017 Honda pilot. bracket needs to be at least 3 inches longer I have attached some pictures other than that I would have been much happier it will do for now. I Hope this review help for the piloteers.

Thus is a good quality ball mount. We have utilized in a 2017 Honda Pilot with an etrailer hitch. It has primarily been used for a bike rack. But no doubt it would work for any trailer that its mounted to. etrailer had the best deals that in found online. I would order from them again.

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.

Worked great. Was helping a friend move. Worked perfectly, easy to install and having both ball hitches, didn't have to worry about not having the right size for my friends trailer. Really made the move easier.

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.

definitely solid as a rock

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.

Honda Pilot towing 16 foot Casita travel trailer. The hitch with sway bar tab which was used by the prior owner allowed the trailer to sag about two inched too low at the connection, which was causing an occasional scrape at uneven driveways, abrupt rises, etc. It was a little difficult to find an adjustable hitch with a reversible sway bar tab, but this one really fit the bill. The tow ball is now 2 1/2 inches higher and the rig looks much better as an added bonus. I ordered by phone and the assistant was very helpful. HInt: I ordered after hours on a Wednesday night using the free shipping, and the hitch arrived noon Friday (St. Louis [Wentzville] to central Alabama)!

Great service and great products. Item works exactly as advertised and was delivered two days earlier than expected! Thank you for this, my fifth purchase over the past ten years. Incredibly efficient company!

trailer hitch works great with no flaws in manufacturing welds. Purchased to drop cycle trailer down 4 " off my honda Pilot. Now trailer is level and goes down the road great.

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.

Great product well made and a nice carry bag.

Gone are the days I need to carry three different hitches with different sized balls on them. Gone are the days when I, or others, walked around the back of my truck and cracked their shin on a protruding trailer hitch. I keep this folded up in front of the drop where it's not going to catch anyone by surprise. When I'm ready to use it, I simply pull two pins out which allows it to drop free and rotate out. I choose the height I need and install the two pins/clips. To rotate the balls, again simply pull the third pin and rotate to desired size. It was more than I wanted to spend at the time but since I'm glad I spent the money.
