Toading Honda Pilot? Odyssey?
Should I or shouldn't I? These are lighter than the Traverse, Explorer and Outlook. The later 3 push me to the limit of 5k pounds to tow. I like having more breathing room with the pilot or odyssey....

What year vehicle are you looking to tow? I tow a 2005 Acura MDX (mechanically similar to the Pilot) with no issues, but it was around 1/2 way through the 2005 model I believe that Honda changed their stance on recreational towing of these vehicles. So I am assuming you are looking at pulling a 2006 or newer?
I'm looking at purchasing whatever year will work as a toad. If the older MDX will toad then I'll look for that. Same with the Pilot and Odyssey.
The Traverse weight stays around 4700lbs for all the years I've looked up. THe Hondas weigh closer to 4000 with exception of Odyssey. I can tow up to 5k. This is why I'm even bothering with them.
The Explorer 4x4 can toad but living in FL, I'd rather save the gas mph and find a 4x2. I need something with cargo room behind 3rd row. This will serve as main family car for 6-7 people.
