Recommended Brake Controller for a 2020 Honda Pilot
Updated 12/03/2019 | Published 12/02/2019 >
Question:
I need a brake controller for my 2020 Honda Pilot so we can tow our travel trailer but there are too many options to choose from. Can you help?

Expert Reply:
The brake controller I recommend for a 2020 Honda Pilot is the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180. The Curt Echo is a plug and play option so there will be no permanent modifications to the vehicle. It uses a device you are already comfortable with, your phone so you don't need to spend time learning a new device. Furthermore, you won't need to drill into your dash for mounting like you would for a traditional brake controller which not only eliminates drilling but also creates more leg room when compared to a traditional brake controller.
The Curt Echo installs in minutes and it is very easy to setup and use, especially when compared to similar options. If you decide to change tow vehicles in the future, you can bring the Curt Echo with you at no extra cost and you can even set profiles for multiple trailers as well if needed.
