Which year or generation are you looking at? I just bought a 2019 Pilot (3rd gen) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_...n_(YF5/6;_2016) and in the US they're pretty simple... all are 3,500 lb towing capacity.
To get 5,000 lb towing capacity you gotta have AWD and add a transmission fluid radiator/cooler. I just ordered parts from hondaautomotiveparts (formerly Majestic Honda) and they told me the hands-free tailgate relocator is on backorder. Everything else they had in stock and here's what I got with 2 different ball sizes and mounts:
Part Number Part Name Price Quantity Total
06255-5EZ-316 Trailer Accessory $285.60 1 $285.60
08L91-TG7-100B Trailer Tow Harness $161.17 1 $161.17
08L91-TG7-100C Tailgate, Hands Free, Adapter $80.90 1 $80.90
08L92-TG7-1A0 Trailer Hitch $257.86 1 $257.86
08L92-S9V-100H Trailer Hitch (2" ball) $14.08 1 $14.08
08L92-S9V-100G Trailer Hitch (1 7/8" ball) $14.08 1 $14.08
08L92-TG7-101A Trailer Hitch Ball Mount $30.18 2 $60.36
Cost was ~ $874.05 + ~$124.96 shipping, so ~$1k DIY install.
3 main steps (in order)
1. Trans cooler install:
2. Wiring install:
3. Hitch install:
