I plan to purchase a new tow vehicle within the next two years. At the present time, I am towing a 3500 lb travel trailer with a 2006 Honda Pilot 4WD. The 4WD is Honda's name; actually, it is AWD wit...
My understanding is awd systems are not suited to towing because of the viscous clutches used. They will slip and generate heat and ultimately burn up under heavy loads. A gear driven transfer case doesn't have that issue.
