Question:
Thanks Jason.....appreciate the info and suggested part. One f/u question. Even if my 2016 Pilot is a FWD vehicle, the existing wiring connection near the jack will support a 7 pin connector that will have power to the battery and operate the electric brakes? Thanks again!

Your 2016 Honda Pilot will have a trailer wiring plug behind the driver's side at the rear by your tail lights. I've attached a video of the Curt # C56291 harness to assist. The Curt wiring harness # CU86FR is the 7-way wiring harness that connects to the same location. Each kit activates the tow package already available in your vehicle, so I recommend installing the 7-way unless you know you will only ever use the 4-way. It is a little more work on the installation side but gives you options for other accessories.
