Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Honda Pilot and 7-Way Mounting Bracket
Updated 08/11/2015 | Published 08/10/2015
Question:
The OEM trailer hitch for a 2016 Honda Pilot has a trailer hitch cover panel that fits over the hitch and the Honda wiring harness 7 pin connector that mounts to the OEM hitch. Does the Curt hitch have the mounting bracket for the Honda OEM 7 pin connector? Can the Honda OEM hitch cover panel be used with the Curt Hitch? If not, how would you mount the round 7 pin Honda connector?

Expert Reply:
The Curt hitch part # C13146 that you referenced is going to sit below the rear bumper unlike the factory hitch option that comes out through the lower fascia of the bumper.
For a 7-way bracket that would attach to the 2 inch hitch tube of the Curt hitch you would want the part # 18159.
