Excellent product, timely delivery. INSTALL TIP for Honda Pilot: Bolt holes on right side of vehicle need to be prepped before install. They had been exposed to weather for 5 years and had some rust. Bolt holes on left side of vehicle had bolts in them for tow loop (factory installed) and were fine. If you have a correct sized tap, that is the way to go. If not (like me), I used PB Blaster (a WD-40 like product) and screwed the bolts in a little, then backed them out. Resprayed, screwed in, backed out, etc. This process took almost an hour to get the three bolt holes up to speed. After that, the install was a piece of cake and took 40 minutes (by myself). Removed the spare tire. Hooked the right side of the new hitch receiver over the exhaust pipes to hold up, while I started the left side bolts. Easy. It was a perfect fit on my 2005 Honda Pilot.
