I also only need the hitch to haul my bikes.
Thanks

Someone ought to check with Tim to see what the "towing package" includes from hondacuraworld... I just checked their web site and there wasn't a separate line item for "towing package". Instead the towing package is listed individually:
Honda Pilot Trailer Hitch
Code:08L92-S9V-100
Price: $199.00
Honda Pilot Trailer Hitch Harness
Code:08L91-S9V-100
Price: $37.70
Honda Pilot ATF Cooler (Trailer Hitch)
Code:06255-PVG-305
Price: $193.70
Honda Pilot Power Steering Cooler (Trailer Hitch)
Code:53765-S9V-800
Price: $172.90
Honda Pilot Trailer Hitch Ball
Code:08L92-S10-100P
Price: $11.70
Does the package include all of the above? Can you pick/choose only the pieces you need? Just something to think about... :8: |

| Yes, I'd be in for the Hitch-only option. Only need the trailer hitch for hauling bikes at this point. |

| Does anyone know if the wiring harness simply plugs in the rear somewhere or does it need to be professionally installed? Thanks a lot |

It simply plugs in. There is another thread on how to do it - but you will find the instructions to be more than adequate. Should take you about 20-40 minutes total.
YMMV |

I would be interested (this time I will keep awake and visit the board more often than once a week)
I just need to haul bikes, so what would I need at a bare minimum for a rear trailer hitch mount for any bike carrier? |

If all you want is to haul bikes, all you need is the bare-bones hitch. The best deal around is probably still the Hidden-Hitch from etrailer.com.
Good luck! |

| And if all you want is to haul ass, all you need is the Propeller Hitch Plug. :D :D :D |

Props on planes.
Screws on boats/ships.
('least that's how the Navy teaches)

Hey we need a towing package to tow a trailer this summer.
I don't suppose there are enough interesting parties to make it a group buy? (need 10 for Tim to give the %10% discount I think) |
|
|
| skibikerun |
| I'm interested in the hitch-only also! |
|
|
| Honda_Pilot |
| Another vote for hitch only. Need one for my bicycle rack.... |
|
|
| tatng |
Folks,
Did we qualify for the discount (> 10) ?
If we add the members who need just the hitch & the members for the whole tow package,
we have more than 10 people (about 8 for the hitch, 2 or 3 for the tow package with cooler).
Thanks

I'll ask Tim.
I don't know if hitch-only plus hitch-plus-cooling can be aggregated to make the 10. I'll ping him. |

The kemosabe guy declares that he needs a lobotomy (I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy) for muddying the waters in this thread... sorry!!! I don't need any towing stuff... (slipping away from this thread...) :) |

Thanks for doing the accounting summary, tatng.
I still have not heard from Tim. |

Hmmm, I was thinking about just the hitch for hauling bikes but looking at the numbers:
Hitch, harness, tranny and power steering coolers bought separately from Tim is $603.30. Retail is $769 although that might also include the ball.
The "trailer hitch package" from Tim is $525, in a group buy that would be $472.50 + handling fee.
Just the hitch from Tim is $199, in a group buy that would be $179.10 + handling fee.
Decisions, decisions... $180 for just a hitch still sounds a little steep to me, but $473 for the whole package sounds a little more reasonable, especially when I consider that I'll end up paying over $600 if I get just the hitch now and buy the rest later. Of course, I don't need to tow anything at the moment and may never need to...
I'll have to think about this some more. :rolleyes: |

I'll throw my name on the list for the whole Package if we ended up doing this.

I'm sorry I didn't chime in on this earlier......we've been doing extensive remodeling here in the department and it's just teh two of us.....
I can't do any better on the hitch than my present price, with the UPS rate increase and the size/weight of it, there's just nothing left to discount. |

Tim,
Please clarify. Are you saying that the current price is $199 and you are not
going to give the 10% discount for the Honda-Pilot group buy ?
Thanks

Unfortunately correct. This is why I ask people to email me about a group buy at hondacuraworld@aol.com before posting a thread. I do what I can, and I'm truthful about what I can't. |
