Yes. Very very simple. Don't waste your money on an eBay kit, you can buy what you need for about 30 bucks
Ok great, thanks mopar. I assume there's a thread here somewhere detailing that?

Look up tail light converter on amazon. That will get you what you would need to get the right combined turn/brake signal

Rated to either 1200 or 1700 lb, I don't see why not. What's a p5 weigh?

The $400 version can haul up to 1700 lbs. 1720 lb. Capacity 48 in. x 96 in. Super Duty Folding Trailer
The P500 weighs around 1000 lbs. Right now I don't have anything to tow the P5 with. I have to decide to buy this now until I'm ready to buy the 14x7 covered utility hauler (that I want to turn into a camper/toy hauler), or just wait and only get the covered hauler. Decisions, decisions. I'm not in that big of a rush as I first have to buy a used Honda Pilot to tow it all.

If you're hell bent in towing with a honda, go Ridgeline, and that wouldn't be my first choice either, too many cheap pickups available that are far more suited to the job.

I know a lot of you bleed Honda, and I'm sure the ridgeline is a reliable truck. But come on really?

. I'm not in that big of a rush as I first have to buy a used Honda Pilot to tow it all.

Picture of my Pilot with the P700-4 on the open trailer. This was taken at the Omni in down town Nashville while picking up the wife's nieces husband on the way to ride Bull Run a few weeks ago. FYI trailer in down town Nashville as a bad idea. Really bad idea.

Pilot dose ok with a trailer. I got 12mpg and kept up with traffic . And tonight the Pilot took the family out to dinner in style. Bottom line is I spend more time driving to and from work than going riding.

I also have a Duramax avaliable. It tows like a dream (when I got it I told the wife it has obscene power and I still think that). But the Pilot dose fine with under 4500#.

In the background is 2 McLaren's. Parking guy was ready for me to move on before I pulled in. Bull Run crew was more my speed.

That pilot was moving on when it passed me Sunday morning headed home after our bull run ride. Looked like it had no problem pulling the 700

@GlockMeister headed home from Bull Run. Sorry, my photographer still uses the 'human zoom ' method. Looked to me you had plenty of room on the tilt-back to fit a 1100 sport when it comes out.

This is something I don't suggest anyone try. Scary load even with a good truck. Lol. I actually did s*** myself once.
