Question:

I received by etrailer hitch yesterday. Do you sell the torque wrench and socket to install the hitch? If not, could you give me the specs so I inquire at a local auto parts or hardware store? Thank you

Of course!

To install the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e44AR on your 2019 Honda Passport you need a mid-range torque wrench and a 22mm socket.

For a torque wrench you can use the Performance Tool # PTW3001C as a cost-effective option, but if you plan on using a torque wrench fairly often the Powerbuilt # ALL944001 is the better way to go. The Performance Tool has a gauge you have to look at and make sure the needle goes to the correct spot while the Powerbuilt is one that you preset to the desired torque setting and it makes a "click" sound and has some give when you reach that preset setting.

When it comes to the socket we have the Socket Set # PT38VR which is designed for a deep impact wrench. This can work but it would honestly be cheaper for you to pick up an individual socket at your local auto parts or hardware store.
