You people are crazy! I owned a 2003 Honda Pilot for 8 years, and it towed our Jayco Kiwi perfectly. Yes, we used a WDH- with no problems.

you didn't address Honda's anti-WDH policy. what if the WDH had damaged the unibody chassis? i seriously doubt that Honda would have warrantied it.
a close friend owned a similar Pilot. he thought he could tow his Starcraft 19 HTT thru the Sierras.
after a white knuckle roundtrip, he swore he'd never do it again.
