Bought this hitch for my '05 Honda Pilot. Super fast shipping and quality product. Installation is easy,but if you have an older vehicle like mine,do yourself a huge favor and get 2 taps ( 12mm X 1.25 for the three bolts on either side and 10mm X 1.25 behind the license plate) to clean out the rust where the new bolts will go.(Borrowed mine from my friendly mechanic at my Honda
dealership...make sure you tip him). This added step will make the installation a breeze. Use a little WD40 on the tap as you run it in and out until it clears out the rust and test the new bolt to make sure it threads easily before lifting the hitch over your head and finding out it the bolt won't thread completely through. Lower and remove spare...gives you much more room to work. I did not have to lower muffler on mine,hitch fit right in place with muffler on. Did have to slightly bend heat shield on muffler. Before installing hitch I took a little time to wire brush frame behind license plate and any other areas now exposed that would be covered by new hitch and used rust inhibiting black spray paint to slow down any new rust. Great product..wiring harness hooked right up..no problem.5 stars
