Parts Needed to Install 7-Way on 2010 Honda Pilot for Towing Pop Up Camper

Published 09/19/2017

Question:

We have a 2010 Honda Pilot and would like to hook up a 7 way plug to the hitch for brake lights to tow a pop-up trailer. can I order this part online? U-haul says it will take 7 days to get the part, but we need it sooner. Thanks for your help!

What you need to install a 7-way on your 2010 Honda Pilot is the Tekonsha kit part # 118253 which is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and will give you a fully functional 7-way. I attached an install video for this as well.

If the trailer does not have electric brakes you'd be set with just that. If your trailer does have brakes you'll need a brake controller as well.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.

To install the controller would then only require the # 3070-P.
