Hello Lowell, thanks for reaching out, and great question. Both the part numbers you mentioned, the Redarc # RED74CR and # RED53CR are listed as a fit for the 2025 Honda Pilot with the factory tow package. Even the Redarc website shows both parts and does not differentiate why there are two different plugs listed for the same vehicle. I wish I could tell you exactly why there are two plugs listed but at this point I am honestly not sure.
Your best option here will be to find the factory brake control port under your dash and see what it looks like. I will provide pictures of both plugs for you below. So just select your controller based on which plug matches. You can see they are shaped and pinned differently so it should be pretty easy to tell which one you need.
