Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

  • Fitment of etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver to 2006 Honda Pilot With Full-Size Spare
    Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98851 is designed to be compatible with a full sized spare tire on a 2006 Honda Pilot. If you will be towing a trailer with your Honda Pilot you will also need a vehicle wiring harness. I suggest part number # 118336 for a flat 4-way. For a ball mount, hitch ball, and hitch pin and clip, all can be found in the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900.

  • What Trailer Hitch Is Confirmed For A 2005 Honda Pilot
    When it comes to installing a trailer hitch on your 2005 Honda Pilot I recommend The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2 inch # e98851. It has a gross tongue weight up to 3,500 pounds and has a tongue weight up to 350 pounds. Per your vehicle's manual it shows you can go up to 350 pounds tongue weight. It would not do any damage to max out the tongue weight but I would not go over it. Going over the weight will cause damage to the car and lead...

  • What are the Best Roof Racks for a 2009 Honda CRV and a 2007 Honda Pilot?
    If you are contemplating whether to transport 2 50-pound fishing kayaks on your 2009 Honda CR-V or your 2007 Honda Pilot, there are crossbar systems that are compatible with both vehicles. For your 2009 Honda CR-V with flush rails, I recommend the following parts: - Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA126B-2 - RCH Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars and Pioneer Platforms - Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 4 # RRRCH4 - Custom RCP Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack...

  • How To Install etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver On a 2007 Honda Pilot With Broken Off Weld Nuts
    We do not have a specific kit for attaching our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98851 to your 2007 Honda Pilot with broken weld nuts. The best option would be to have your mechanic weld in some new weld nuts for the M12 - 1.25 hardware used for this receiver. Otherwise we do have the Square Hole Spacers # RP3022 and Bolt Leaders # 80101-1 you would need, but you would need to source the rest of the mounting hardware locally since these will require different carriage bolts.

  • etrailer Hitch Rattling Against Exhaust on 2003 Honda Pilot
    Thank you for your purchase of the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98851. The issue with an exhaust/muffler coming into contact with a hitch isn't a wholly unusual one, but you'll need to examine the underside where the hitch is mounted to locate the exact issue. The # e98851 hitch does fit right next to the exhaust and my guess is it may be the exhaust heat shield that is coming into contact with the hitch. That happens sometimes, and what you can do is trim the part that is interfering...

  • Missing Bolt Holes For Hitch Install on 2006 Honda Pilot
    Thank you for the photos of your 2006 Honda Pilot, but the center bolts are still needed to install the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98851. What you will need to do - if you can - is drill the holes in the bumper beam, though I can't quite tell from the photo if you have the needed space available there at the bumper. Failing that, the best option for you is going to be to mount a different hitch that does not require you to use the bumper beam or center bolt holes, just the holes...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2003 Honda Pilot
    To add a hitch to your 2003 Honda Pilot EX, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e98851. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Honda with included hardware. It is compatible with a full size spare tire. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver so it will have plenty of capacity to handle 250 lbs of bikes and rack. For a compatible wiring harness you will want the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # C55336. This custom-fit T-connector...

    For your 2002 Acura MDX the highest capacity trailer hitch we offer is the etrailer # e98851 which can tow a trailer up to 3,500 lbs unless you are using a weight distribution system. Then it could tow a trailer up to 5,000 lbs. This hitch does not require any drilling or welding to install as well as it basically just bolts right up. The hitch you referenced does not fit your vehicle as it was designed for a different one. This hitch only has the opening that hangs below the rear bumper...

    While that tab does provide a third anchor point, the maximum tow weight is 3500lbs and the maximum tongue weight is 350lbs. These ratings are the same for each of the three hitch options. My pick of the three would be the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2", part # 75599. It is a 2" Class III hitch like the other options but it's hitch pin center to bumper measurement, is 3 1/4" with a hitch height of 17 3/4".. The shorter distance of the center of...

  • Difference Between the Curt and Etrailer Hitches for a 2004 Honda Pilot
    The Curt hitch for the 2004 Honda Pilot, part # 13328, and the etrailer one, part # e98851, are almost the same. As you mentioned, the finish is the only difference between them. The matte finish of the etrailer one helps to prevent scratches and corrosion, which is why it's the one I recommend. I've linked to a video installation of the Curt since they install the same and we have the video for your 2004 Pilot.

  • Does Trailer Hitch Install for 2005 Honda Pilot EXL Require Lowering Exhaust
    Yes, the exhaust hangers of your 2005 Honda Pilot do need to get removed to install the etrailer.com hitch part # e98851 that you referenced (and all other hitches that would fit your vehicle). The entire exhaust does not need get removed though as it's just the rubber hangers that hold the exhaust at the rear of the vehicle. This is a very common step for installing hitches and is not overly difficult at all.

  • 2008 Honda Pilot Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation
    For your 2008 Honda Pilot I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98851 because of its simple installation and superior finish. What sets this hitch apart is the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a traditional glossy finish. One thing you'll be glad you picked up is a nylon tube brush # 814092. There's plenty of gunk and road debris that can build up inside your weld nuts over the years, so you'll want to make sure you spray a good amount of lubricant...

  • Can Weight Distribution be Used With a 2006 Honda Pilot
    As long as the trailer hitch on your 2006 Honda Pilot is rated for weight distribution (WD), like the etrailer.com # e98851, then you can use it. We just have to make sure that you choose one that is best rated for your towing application.

To find the TTW of your towing setup you will need to add the TW of your fully...
