Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2006 Honda Ridgeline that is Rated for Weight Distribution

Question

Question:

Hello, I have a 2006 Honda Ridgeline that came with the OEM hitch and wiring. Its not compatible with a weight distributing hitch, so I am looking at replacing the OEM with the Curt brand hitch. I will likely be talking to you about a WDH sometime soon. I would like a hitch that has a mount specifically for the OEM wiring, rather than using zip ties. Do you have anything like that? You Thank

The Draw Tite hitch part # 75280 is a fit for your 2006 Honda Ridgeline and is compatible with weight distribution. This hitch has higher towing capacities than the Curt so it would be what I would recommend.

That being said this hitch (and all of our hitches for your vehicle), do not have a mount for factory trailer wiring.
