    Honda Pilot Hitch Installation
    Trailer Hitch Installation, 2004 Honda Pilot EX-L
    (Click any image to get an 800X600 version)
    But where I can get one?
    1. The hitch is really wide, since the Pilot doesn't have a ladder-frame. Plus, the Pilot itself is quite wide.
    2. Remove the towhook and the spare tire.
    3. Drop the exhaust. Give it some support. You'll have about 5" of vertical play at the tip.
    4. Remove the hangers by wiggling them off the straight metal tips.
    5. There are three total hangers for the muffler.
    6. Push the hitch back toward the bumper cover to line up the bolt holes. The hitch weighs about 35 pounds, so you'll need a friend's help.
    7. Do the same on the passenger side.
    8. Re-hang the muffler on its pins. It's a tight fit and the heat shield needed some "adjustment" to keep it from hitting the hitch. It's aluminum and bends easily.
    9. Success!
