Question:
What is the proper trailer hitch part # for my vehicle and wiring harness and extension bar?
asked by: James D
Expert Reply:
I would recommend either the Curt Class 3 Trailer Hitch, item # 13328, or the Draw-Tite Class 3 Trailer Hitch, item # 75599, for your 2005 Honda Pilot, these are both custom designed hitches for your vehicle.
For trailer wiring I would recommend the Plug-N-Tow (TM) Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Flat Trailer Connector, item # 43105. This harness provides up to 8 amps maximum taillight load for trailers with extra lights.
Listed below are some other items you may need to complete your towing setup.
Drawbar # C45010
Pin and clip # C21500
Hitch Ball # 19260 or # 19247
Hitch Lock Kit # 7683
Extender # HE06 or # HE12
Please keep in mind that using a hitch extender will reduce your hitch overall capacity by 50 percent.
