Question:
Hello etrailer. I have a 2016 Honda Pilot EX-L that I will use to pull a Big Tex 355A open bed single axle trailer without brakes. It has a round wiring connection. Will the following parts be a complete package? Tube Brush 814092, ball mount kit 989900, hitch pin sr25219, reciever hitch e98840 and wiring harness 118274? What else do I need? I will also pull a small flat pin trailer with adapter to round. Thank You!

You are on the right track. For a trailer hitch for your 2016 Honda Pilot the etrailer Hitch part # e98840 is a confirmed fit that would work well. Then for a 7-way you would want the part # 118286 that is also a confirmed fit.
The ball mount kit part # 989900 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.
Since your vehicle is brand new you may not need the part # 814092 to clean out the weld nuts but it wouldn't be a bad idea to have just in case.
Then for a locking anti-rattle device for the ball mounts you mentioned the Softride part # SR25219 is a confirmed fit as well.
