Question:

Hi. I have a 2022 Honda Pilot SE AWD, and I am preparing to tow a small travel trailer2022 Airstream Caravel 16RB. This will be my first time towing a travel trailer, ever. I need a few equipment for safe towing, such as an ATF Cooler or Transmission Cooler, an electronic brake controller, and a standard 7-prong/pin round electrical connector. Can you please recommend what would be a good fit for my Honda? Thank you, Erastus

Hey Erastus, for a transmission cooler for your 2022 Honda Pilot the Derale part # D13503 would be an excellent choice that is larger in size and a very efficient style which will do a great job keeping the temps down.

Then for a brake controller the P2 part # 90885 with the install harness part # 3070-P would be a great choice and for a 7-way kit you'd want the part # 118286 and you'd be set. Will you be doing the install?

Hi Jameson! Awesome! Thanks for the recommendations. If my son is not able to help me with the installations, then I might seek a professional installer. Much appreciated, Erastus
