I have towed my 18 with my grandmothers Pilot. Its an 05. It does ok for what it is....fairly peppy and will do the job. The one thing I was NOT impressed with however was the gas mileage. I borrowed it for a long distance hunting trip last year in order to save on gas in my V8 Dakota and I DIDNT save. It sucks gas! I was figured 15 on the highway tops...thats about what my Kota gets. I know its a few years older than these new ones, but everytime I see that commercial on ESPN "Get the Honda Pilot, its the do anything truck that gets 24 mpg" I just laugh.
