Honda Pilot

[wbrown609]

We have a 218 DLV with a 115hp on it that we actually tow maybe once or twice a year for about two hours at a time. The boat usually stays in the water. The boat has a single axle trailer that we tow with. We are in the market for a new vehicle. We like the Honda Pilot. It has plenty of room and the price seems right. The four wheel drive version lists a tow rating of 4500lbs. About how much is the combined weight for the DLV? Am I going to be okay with a pilot towing no more than we do? We are going from a Durango with a Hemi to this if we make the change. Thanks.

DLV 218 = #1773
115 hP NO BRAND GIVEN *006* estimated weight #400
My 19' single axle Venture Al trailer = #700 call yours #800

Gas Fuel batteries ect Your still well with in your towing window !
That said ALWAYS GET THE TOWING PACKAGE *thumbsup*

LOOK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STORY
" Driving Impressions "
The deal breaker for me was the two statements below !

Acceleration off the line feels anemic & Pilot's rather long stopping distances.

May be fixed in 2012 models ?

regardless of which vehicle you decide to go with,and what they say it can tow you will have to be able to stop it also. Good Luck and tight lines!fishingsmilie*

i tow my classic 17 with my '03 pilot with no problems. would not hesitate to pull a 21. i would want the tow package with trans and steering coolers.
i think it accelerates well. just go test drive and see if you like it.

I own an '06 Honda Pilot and tow a 218 DLV with a 150 Suzuki and it does fine. I have the 4-wheel drive option (a must-have if pulling a trailer) I think you'll be fine towed mine from Chatlee to Emerald Isle, NC no problems what-so-ever. Don't get another Durango your just in for an American car night-mare. Hope this helps.

Remember all the Warranty & free gas offers Right before Chrysler / Dodge / Jeep BANKRUPTED *001*
Lot's of Hard working people Lost out their !

Sorry to say this but the only reason Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge is still around is because our stupid president lent them 12 billion dollars. Now I know this website isn't about politics but I had to bring them into this to make a point.

The Grand Cherokee's four-wheel-drive system now shares parts with the Mercedes-Benz ML

I would Never risk having a payment book & no Warranty by buying A Chrysler / Dodge or Jeep

[switner]

Haha! At least your now goin towards the best make in that series of cars. Don't have as much problems with Jeep even though there in it with Chrysler and Dodge.

[watercat]

Just to clarify who gave the initial money to Chrysler. It was given to them in December 2008. Who was President then? Bush. How much? $17 billion. Obama dumped a lot more into them in 2009.
