The '16 Pilot is rated to tow 3,500 if it's a 2WD model and 5,000 if it's a 4WD model. 7,000 seems a bit high for even Honda's strong 6 banger. Wonder if they're introducing a turbo or something...
It's still 3,500 lbs on the AWD models unless you have the optional tranny cooler installed.
That's incorrect, or at least that's incorrect on the previous generation Pilot - I know cause I own one.

This may have changed on the new generation Pilot that was just released but it would surprise me. Honda is the opposite of what you see from domestic automakers - they generally have your options dialed down to just a few trim levels, as opposed to offering a seemingly endless combination of options.
