[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]As far as the Honda line goes, here is a little more information for you. The 2WD Pilot does in fact have a 3,500 tow capability. However, the 4WD models have 4,500. And as has been stated, 4WD is way better at some of the boat launches in our state. And if you want the highest tow rating with a Honda, consider the Ridgeline which has a 5,000 tow rating.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]I have a Ridgeline and pull a Tracker Targa V16 w/ a 75 hp Merc. The package with trailer weighs in at just under 2,500 lbs and the Ridgeline handles it very well. We really love the Ridgeline for long trips and have driven it to the east coast and back several times. Towing the Tracker around Utah is a breeze and getting in and out of any boat launch has never been a problem for me.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]The year before we bought the Ridgeline, I saw a young couple at Pineview's Port Ramp pulling a 21/22 foot Cuddy Cabin boat on a two axle trailer with a Ridgeline. He said it handled it just fine and he didn't feel like he needed anything bigger.[/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000] [/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]But if you have your heart set on a Pilot, go with the 4WD model and I'm sure you'll be just fine when you do get your boat. Good luck.[/#800000][/font]
