Butting in on your hijack of mulv's thread.....but have to give my opinion on the Honda Pilot. We have an '07, and it's the most versatile vehicle I've ever owned. We live in the mountains of New Hampshire, and when wifey said she wanted a Pilot I figured it would be some kind of sissy 4wheel drive SUV. Couldn't have been more wrong if I tried. It's a mountain goat. I've driven it in snow so deep I was 'plowing' snow with the front end, and in mud up to the floorboards. It just won't get stuck. I use the Pilot to pull my plow vehicle out when I get it stuck. Only negative I can think of is fuel economy, in the neighborhood of 20-22 mpg highway.

Watch the Tranny and I would think some spring helpers to help with tongue weight.

I would roll the dice and tow with slow and easy. Just be sure trailer's the tongue weight is set up right. From 2000-about 2005 I used my Jeep Wrangler and it was questionable. I just went "slow and easy" and keep a LOT of distance like Pipe_Dream says.
