I tow my V on a tandem trailer with my 4WD V6 Nissan Frontier. Its fine for my usual trip to the ramp which is a half hour away. I also regularly go to ramps that are an hour away without too much thought. I live in NY so some of the longer trips to Maine and Canada are hilly. For those I'm not satisfied with what I have and we usually take my buddies Duramax. I will probably go to the smallest V8 pickup I can when its time to get something new - Ram 1500 maybe..

I have towed a 22' Trophy with my Cherokee down 295 but it wasn't fun. When I have to pull the V I borrow pops Avalanche. Not even comparable between the two when talking V6 vs. V8

Hard to beat a Chevy 5.3 Turck/Tahoe/Burb for pulling a V, that being said, I have an 99 E350 Van and a 97 F350 dually, both with the 7.3 diesel. My wife drives the 02 Burban

Yep the Honda Pilot can do the job! Scary ride in a 2001 chevy 1500 Pick up a few years ago. My friend and I were driving home from a fishing trip towing the V and after a few miles he said I have no brake's. Get to the shoulder of the road. He down shifted and even applied the E brake criss crossing lanes until we finally stopped. God was with us. Well you guessed it rotted brake line.So he said he would wait for the tow truck and thats were the Honda Pilot came to the rescue. I drove the Pilot turned off the overdrive and was sup prized that it handle a dual axle trailer. But that would not be my choice only that time.

I'm towing my V20 (150 OB, dual axle trailer) with a 2014 Ford Explorer (6 cyl XLT). It's been great. I launch 20-30 times a season.

97 gmc sierra z71 with 250k. ive had her since 98 with zero major problems and have towed many boats and various trailers with her. in fact probably half of those miles have been pulling a load. at the ramp i put her in low and just let the 5.7 idle. even with the old heavy 23 chapparral walk around, no
throttle needed. guess what im saying is your honda can suck it!!! and your little nissan too!!!! buy a real truck! MERICA!!!!!! yall know im kidding, right? those little jap trucks are cute

My Diesel IHC Scout had a Nissan 722 6 cylinder engine in it. That thing was a workhorse.

120 miles round trip each time ........2004 Ford Explorer V6...140,000 miles, has been towing fine for years.
Boat is V21 with 525lb outboard, 60 gallons of fuel, twin axle trailer brakes on both, curtains up on boat, no issues to date.....cruise along 55-60 mph, overdrive on, A/C, whatever. Pulls boat out fine too. That said......sure I'd like a new Tahoe or such........but it is what it is.
