Expert Reply:
The best trailer hitch for your 2018 Honda Pilot EX-L for both accessories and towing is the following:
- etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98840
I like the # e98840 because it's concealed so only the crosstube is showing, has very good bumper and ground clearance, and a matte black powder coat which hides the inevitable scuffs better than any other hitch.
Since you mentioned you will be towing, if you also need a trailer wiring harness, the correct one will depend on if your small trailer has electric brakes or not. If it does you will need a 7-way, but if it does not have electric brakes you'll just need a 4-way:
- Trailer Without Electric Brakes: T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness - 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56291
- Trailer With Electric Brakes: T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness - 7-Way Trailer Connector # CU86FR
