Honda Pilot used as a tow vehicle
Looking for a new tow SUV for a T@B trailer about 2000#. Is a 2017 Honda Pilot a good choice? Can anyone give me MPG when towing?

Good grief people, he is trying to tow a tiny aerodynamic trailer that will weigh 3000lbs stuffed full of rocks, with a vehicle rated to tow either 3500lbs or 5000lbs. Some of the responses here are just laughable.
I can understand having differing opinions, but some of you need to take the blinders off. The OP is not trying to tow your massive TT or 5ver. The OP is not trying to move bulldozers. They are towing a literal drop in the bucket.
Big heavy trailers need big heavy tow vehicles. Small light trailers need small light tow vehicles. It's really pretty simple.
If the Pilot has the factory tow package, hook up and hit the road. If not, get the parts you need, install them, THEN hook up and hit the road.
