Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2005 Honda Element
Updated 10/22/2025 | Published 04/02/2025
Question:
I have a 2005 Honda element I need a trailer hitch and wiring harness for. It has a connector in the spare tire wheel well if that’s helpful. Please provide me with the hitch and harness I would need to tow a trailer. Thank you

Hey Todd, for a hitch that fits your 2005 Honda Element our Draw Tite part # 75659 would be the best option because it has great towing capacities and also has the easiest/shortest install. Then for trailer wiring the Hopkins kit part # HM48925 would work really well and is also priced the best. What will you be towing?
We don't have any trailer wiring that would plug into a port at the rear of your vehicle though.
