Hello Hoan, thanks for reaching out. I double checked with the manufacturer, and they confirmed that yes, the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e27KR will indeed fit the 2025 Honda Pilot Elite. It will be a no drill install and you will not need to cut any of the underbody panels. Keep in mind that the hitch will fit with a mini spare tire stowed under the vehicle but does not fit with a full-size spare. Also, the receiver can interfere with the hands-free liftgate sensor. In most cases, the sensor will still function, but it will work a bit differently. You will need to swipe your foot to either side of the receiver to get it to activate, but once you find the "sweet spot" things should work just fine.

If you plan to tow a trailer, I recommend that you also get the Curt T-Connector # C48ZV, and the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45534.
