The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98840 is what I recommend for a 2021 Honda Pilot AWD. The trailer hitch is a bolt-on option with no cutting or drilling required. It has a hidden crosstube which makes for the best overall install look. It will also retain partial function of the handsfree liftgate feature although Honda does offer a relocation bracket for more accessibility. It has a 2" opening that will work great for towing or bike racks and cargo carriers.
