Question:
I have a 2025 Honda Pilot and want a trailer wiring harness that will not interfere with the kick opening of the tail gate. Please tell me the correct product

Expert Reply:
Typically the Trailer Wiring # C35ZV is not going to cause you any issues with the kick open function for your rear liftgate on your 2005 Honda Pilot. The Trailer Hitch Receiver # e27KR is generally the item which interferes with the kick function for the hands free feature. The design of this particular receiver will still allow it to open with the kick function but it will limit you to having to kick next to receiver tube as the steel of the opening prevents detection for your foot.
