Question:
Dear, I am interested in buying trailer hitch for my 2025 honda pilot. I have found two hitches from the website. One is from etrailer, the other is from curt. It looks almost same. Could you please tell me what are the differences? Thank you. Daniel

Hey Daniel! The etrailer # e27KR and Curt # C22HR look so similar because they share the same design. The only real difference between the two is the finish. I prefer our own etrailer finish which is a matte black. This gives it an OEM appearance and also helps hide dirt and scratches. If you prefer a glossy finish then the Curt is the way to go.
Do you plan on towing? If so, you will also need wiring and a ball mount. If you want to add a 4-way you can use the Curt # C48ZV or for a 7-way the # C35ZV. For a ball mount, check out the etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued 2" Ball # e67DR. If you need anything else don't hesitate to reply below.
