A few observations and tips to share. Hitch can be installed by one person. I used two 5 gallon buckets and a few 6 inch pieces of 2x8s to support the hitch. Most important tip - dry fit the bolts in all six holes, use a wire brush and air to clean the holes, use a light oil for lubrication, even retap lightly if necessary, but please first fit the bolts and make sure they can be started by hand and will bottom out. This will make their final install much easier. Once you have positioned the hitch, start the bolt that is closest to the front of the vehicle. Then repeat for the second and then for the bolt closest to the rear. This is bit hard to do when working alone and lying on the ground, but be patient and it will work even though you might need a few attempts at starting the bolts. You will need to lower the spare tire a bit to fully seat the final two bolts on the hitch. Unfortunately, a full size tire (about 29.5 inches in height for P245/50/R20 on Pilot Sport) will not fit in the space where the donut spare is installed. We need atleast 3 more inches clearance...c'mon "Honda-Of-America"??? So I plan to use a hitch-installed spare-tire carrier on a split hitch-extender whenever I tow a small utility trailer. Or will just place the full-size spare in a enclosed trailer if that's what I am towing. Either way it's an added inconvenience for me. Often my Retriever is lounging in the trunk area whenever I tow so placing the tire in the trunk is not always an available option. Anyway, my apologies as I have digressed/ranted/etc. Tightening the bolts to 139 Ft-Lb is not easy to do lying down. I had to use a 24 inch breaker bar to tighten the bolts first. You will have to lower the spare wheel again to tighten the one bolt that is above the exhaust pipe. desertcart did a good job on delivery, just a very small paint chip in one area. The packaging from Curt is not the best for an individual home delivery. The hitch is heavy and will likely tear through the package during handling. After reading reviews at other online retailers, I chose to get this from desertcart over others simply because (in my area) I felt their drivers would handle it more carefully than the two other prominent carriers. If you can find grade J12.9 M22 shoulder bolts use them, they will be higher rated. I plan to spray paint the bolt heads when I am done to protect them from rust. If you really enjoy DIY, or want to save some $$$ over an OEM hitch and installation, this is a fun project that can be done in 30 to 90 minutes, and it will be easier to do if you get a second person to give you a hand. Best wishes for your install and safe towing. Review: Good product, fits well without any issues. Looks very good too. Save yourself a headache, buy M14-1.5 taps to clean the threads. This part took the longest, but prepping and cleaning threads made the install very easy. Buy the tap!!!! It’s a must unless you want jammed or broken bolts. My pilot, 2021, has the kick sensor. Have to see if I can relocate it - i can live without it. Suggestion, see if you can relocate it before installing the hitch if you care to use it. ## Features - TOW_HITCH ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00F685J2U | | Automotive Fit Type | Universal Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #73,343 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #76 in Automotive Hitch Receivers | | Brand Name | CURT | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Honda Pilot, Acura MDX | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,786) | | Finish Type | GLOSS BLACK POWDER COAT | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00612314008117 | | Included Components | TOW_HITCH | | Item Type Name | TOW_HITCH | | Item Weight | 48 Pounds | | Manufacturer | CURT | | Manufacturer Part Number | 13146 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 | | Material Type | Carbon Steel | | Maximum Towing Capacity | 6000 Pounds | | Model Number | 13146 | | OEM Equivalent Part Number | 13146 | | Pull Force | 6000 Pounds | | UPC | 612314008117 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** CURT - **Finish type:** GLOSS BLACK POWDER COAT - **Item weight:** 48 Pounds - **Material:** Carbon Steel - **Vehicle service type:** Honda Pilot, Acura MDX ## Images ![TOW_HITCH - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/511KPDF+VIL.jpg) ![TOW_HITCH - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61T8nhlWpvL.jpg) ![TOW_HITCH - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711H77hhqeL.jpg) ![TOW_HITCH - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ggrUakTAL.jpg) ![TOW_HITCH - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81th4iF+ELL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I received two of these (returned the first one) both had a lot of cosmetic damage from shipping. Did anyone else have this issue?** A: No, mine was brand new and no marks. Literally the entire piece goes under the car so basically out of sight. **Q: will this fit a 2007 pilot?** A: It fits the 2017 Pilot. I do not know about 2007. **Q: will this hitch fit a 2021 honda pilot?** A: Yes **Q: What electrical wires are needed with this?** A: That will depend on the car model. The hitch is pure mechanic. You may need to buy the electrical system for your vehicle and install unless it comes ready ( built in system) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by N***F on 16 November 2025* This is a well-made and heavy duty hitch.
