Two-wheel drive models of the 2017 Honda Pilot have a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. All-wheel drive models have a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, which is plenty of power to haul a small boat or trailer with Your gear. Knowing Your vehicle's towing capacity is essential to towing safety, plus it can keep You from damaging Your vehicle with the burden an overweight load. Ideally, this should be 10-15% of the trailer's overall weight. For example, a 1,000-pound trailer should have a tongue weight of 100-150 pounds.Max towing capacity should not be taken lightly. Exceeding what Your vehicle is designed to tow can strain Your engine and transmission, accelerate brake wear, damage Your tires and even warp Your chassis. This could in turn trigger catastrophic failure while driving and could lead to property damage or serious injury.
