Easy to install and great price

Ready to tow 118265 Trailer hookup kit for my 2013 Honda Pilot worked and fit well and was easy to install. I had a hole saw set that I used to cut the hole for installing the mounting dowels in the plastic part of the bumper. Very happy with my purchase.

Easy installation, well suited for tow bar accessories

Installation was much easier than expected. My Pilot had all available ports in the access panel next to the tailgate and a factory mounting bracket. The kit was installed and operational within an hour. Be prepared to make minor modifications to the mounting bolt holes to match the Honda-supplied mountings. A real money saver compared to what Honda would charge.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Volume

Good product! for towing products and winches

Easy installation via YouTube. The instructions were not very detailed! The hardest part of the installation was removing the weatherseal from the wiring harness connector under the car. Otherwise the quality and workmanship is very good! Another tip is to use dielectric grease on all connections to prevent corrosion.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Repair

Connects EXACTLY like the OEM Honda wiring harness.

Item worked great on my 2013 Honda Pilot. It took about 20-30 minutes for a clean install, but in a pinch you can assemble everything in 5 minutes. Check out YouTube videos if you really want to make it effortless. I work at a Honda dealership and even with the discount the factory strap is almost twice the price of this one. Time will tell but the quality seems reliable so I don't expect any durability issues. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Easily repairable

Good quality and easy installation

The kit took about 45 minutes to install. I cut holes in the plastic next to the hitch and used 4 metal screws to attach the connector. The hardest part was removing the cover from the wiring harness underneath the car. There's a ledge you can't see holding the connector to the bottom of the case. I cut the plastic holding the connector and reattached it with the included zip ties. My only complaint is that the harness to the connector is way too long and there really isn't anything to tie itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • Secret

Cheaper than the factory kit and just as good!

I have been a Honda technician for over 17 years and even with my worker discount the factory kit cost me over $150. This kit is plug and play like the factory kit and for less than $100 you can't beat it! I had to get a trailer at the last minute so I set it up in the U-Haul lot while my wife went inside to get the trailer. It only took about 10 minutes to install and secure the connector with zip ties, then I came back later and screwed it into the factory position in the bumper. Everyoneโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • I will add later

RELAY MISSING TWO ON TWO ORDERS!

Like several other reviewers, I received a package with only one of the two relays required. The package was sealed, not opened. I discovered the missing relay while reading the installation instructions. Revain is replacing the product, but my weekend trailer plans are thwarted while I wait for a replacement. UPDATE: As usual, Revain did a great job of sending out a replacement package with the relay missing, but the replacement package was missing. relay too! I had to take relays from bothโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • A few minor things

Easy installation except for the 7 pin connector

I bought this kit for my 2015 Honda Pilot. The kit has everything you need. It was a simple setup. There are several videos on YouTube showing the installation step by step, making it even easier. I highly recommend using them to help you. The only problem is that I had trouble installing the 7 pin connector on the bumper. The shape of the connector doesn't really fit where the factory version would fit on the bumper, so it's difficult to cut the right part of the bumper to fit. I probablyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Not the best

Same as OEM factory installed, 1/3 price.

First of all it is a wiring harness and like all mechanical parts it either works or it doesn't. As many have pointed out, the instructions are lacking and would be virtually useless. Go to YouTube and watch the installation video - specifically about access to the pilot's cabins and under the car. If you take the time to watch the video, think carefully and review the installation steps, the installation will only take a few minutes. I probably spent a few hours surfing the web trying toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • delivery was very fast
Cons
  • crumpled
