★ Top Answer
The 2016 Honda Pilot can tow up to 3,500 pounds and has a tongue limit of 350 pounds. Depending on options, the vehicle has a payload capacity ranging from 1,405 to 1,622 pounds, including passenger weight. Powered by a 3.5L V6 engine with 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, the Pilot's lower torque figures and unibody construction may not make it ideal for towing heavy loads. To prevent transmission overheating, Honda advises against towing without the transmission cooler installed.
