Expert Reply:

For your 2019 Honda Pilot the best hitch we have is the etrailer part # e98840 if you plan to do any towing since this has a wiring bracket built into it. It also has a concealed crosstube too which makes it less visible too.

Then for trailer wiring you'd want the T-one part # 118286 for a 7-way or part # 118760 for a 4-way. This brand of trailer wiring is our most reliable option so I recommend it highly.

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.

I really like the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR because it can be installed pretty much anywhere and it looks really clean. You'll have to hardwire this if you don't have the factory 7-Way or use the Adapter # RED59FR if you do have the factory 7-Way.
