• Complete Tow Package for 2020 Honda Pilot to Tow 5,000 Camper with Brakes, Hitch, Wiring, Ball Mount
  Hello Lewis, I can definitely get you set up with the correct towing components to get you out on the road to adventure! You’ll want to check your owner’s manual to see what Honda says you can tow, just because the hitches are rated that high doesn’t mean you should be towing that much weight. - Hitch: Just as long as your camper is no more than 5,000 pounds, a Class IV isn’t necessary.

• Does 2024 Honda Passport Rear Panel Need to be Removed or Hitch and Wiring Installation
  Hey Dennis, thanks for reaching out about the etrailer Hitch # e44AR and wiring parts (listed below)! You won't need to trim or remove any panels for the hitch or the brackets to fit on your 2024 Honda Passport. You'll need to bend the no-drill bracket to clear the rear panel and you can choose to trim it if you wish, but it won't be a necessity. - Curt Wiring # C56291 - Mounting Brackets # 18144 and # C57202

• Does Install of etrailer Hitch on 2023 Honda Passport Require Rear Fascia Replacement
  Hey Sean, the install of the etrailer hitch part # e44AR does not require replacing the lower fascia with a different one. That seems to be the case for the OEM hitch which sits up higher but not this hitch which fits below the rear bumper. This can definitely handle the weight of a bike rack or cargo carrier as well. Do you have those racks already?

• Best 2024 Honda Passport Trailer Hitch and Wiring Setup
  I really like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e44AR for your 2024 Honda Passport because it's the only option with a matte black finish that not only looks better, but is also more durable than the classic glossy black we see on the other hitches for your Passport. Then for wiring you can either go with the 4-Way # C56291 or the 7-Way # CU86FR depending on what type of connector your trailer has. I also recommend picking up the No-Drill Bracket # C57202 along with the 4-Way Bracket...

  The etrailer hitch item # e44AR you referenced has the same protrusion from your rear fascia as the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13421.

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2019 Honda Passport
  Hi Al; we don't have any kind of package price but I can answer your questions. The # 76290 will work well but the etrailer # e44AR will help save you some extra money. The only difference between the two is the capacity. It looks like the 2019 Passport tops at at 5,000 lbs for the towing capacity so the additional capacity from the Draw-Tite won't make a difference. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # CU86FR comes with everything you need to install...

• Is There A Hitch That Won't Affect Liftgate Sensor Functionality On A 2023 Honda Passport
  Hi Burt, Because of the placement of the sensors compared to the position that the hitch will mount there are no trailer hitches available that won't impact the functionality in some way. Typically if you wave you foot on either side of the receiver tube you'll still be able to activate the liftgate sensors, it's just going to take a bit of playing around to find the sweet spot. For your 2023 Honda Passport I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e44AR. This hitch comes with...

  Yes, it will but you'll lose some functionality by the 2" receiver. All of the hitches available for the 2023 Honda Passport block the sensors by the 2" receiver somewhat. What you will need to do is kick to the left and right of the center to find a spot not blocked. The etrailer Hitch item # e44AR you were looking at is confirmed to fit your 2023 Honda Passport.

• Trailer Hitch For 2020 Honda Passport With Best Finish
  The Curt # C13421 and etrailer brand # e44AR Class III hitches have the most durable finish and would be a fit for your 2020 Passport. The only difference between the two is the sheen on the finish. The Curt uses a glossy powder coat finish, the etrailer uses a matte finish. I personally prefer the matte finish, as it tends to blend in with the underside of the vehicle a little better. Keep in mind, that even though the hitches use a quality powder coat finish, the hitch will occupy a...

  The trailer hitch with the best finish for a 2023 Honda Passport is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e44AR.

• Are There Issues With Installing Aftermarket Trailer Hitches Versus The OEM On A 2023 Honda Passport
  Hi Krisanne, I looked into the fitment issues you referenced and it looks like the issue was with the height of the receiver tube on some of the aftermarket hitches.
