I attached a picture that shows the detailed instructions for the Curt Trailer Wiring harness part # C56291 which is the correct harness for your 2016 Honda Pilot.
This would work well with the trailer hitch part # e98840 that you referenced which is also confirmed as a fit. I attached a link to an install video for this hitch as well.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
