Question:

Do you offer a Class III hitch with a 2 receiver for a 2021 Honda Pilot, that carries a FULL SIZE spare underneath?

Expert Reply:

The hitches offered for the 2021 Honda Pilot, such as the Curt Class III # C13146 will work with full sized spare tires as long as the tire is mounted on the 18 inch wheel and not the 20 inch wheel. None of the hitches we offer would work with the 20 inch spare unless the spare is removed and stored eleswhere. This is a function of where the spare tire sits in relation to the rear bumper, it's a very tight space.

If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, you'll need to add a trailer wiring harness, a ball mount and the properly sized trailer ball. For a 4 pole trailer connector, use part # 118760 or # 118286 for the 7-way. For a ball mount, use # D-4, Hitch Pin and Clip, # PC3, and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.

I've linked to install videos for the hitch and the wiring harnesses mentioned above.
