Question:
I have a 2015 Honda Accord V6 EX-L and want to install the Curt hitch #11681, Which wiring kit do I need 118586 or C56173? Both seem to be for LED lights but I really cant tell what the difference is. Can you help

Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C11681 will work well for your 2015 Honda Accord. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. Per Curt all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt.
You can also order the hitch with a Euro drawbar and hitch ball or a hitch with a standard drawbar.
The recommended drawbar is part # C45521. For a 2 inch ball to work with this drawbar you can order part # 19258, and for a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball, you would need part # 19256.
The trailer wiring harness I recommend for your Accord is the Wiring Harness, part # C56173. You simply connect the harness to the connection points located behind the tail lights and then run a hot lead to the Accord battery.
When working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This keeps dirt and moisture out of the electrical connections and helps prevent corrosion.
