Helpful Expert Reply:

The five components that will be needed to tow a trailer with your 2014 Honda Accord are a trailer hitch receiver, ball mount, pin and clip, trailer hitch ball, and wiring harness.

For your Accord, I recommend the following towing components:

The Curt Class I Receiver Hitch, # C11496. This custom fit trailer hitch bolts directly to the Accord's frame with no drilling required and has a 1-1/4 inch opening.

Sportframe 2-1/8" Rise or 2-3/4" Drop Drawbar, # 3593. A pin and clip are included.

1-7/8 Inch Hitch Ball, # 19256

The Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118596. If your Accord has LED taillights, you will need to use the Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # C56173.

For added security, you can use a locking hitch pin like the Tow Ready Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock with Swivel Head, # TR63254.

I have attached a few articles and a video for you to check out.
