Can I Flat tow The 2024 Honda Pilot?

No. It seems that this pilot isn't interested in playing passenger. Unfortunately, like it's smaller cousin the 2024 Honda CR-V, the 2024 Honda Pilot is not designed to be towed with all four wheels on the ground for any reason. Even in an emergency situation, the owner's manual prohibits flat towing, explicitly stating that a professional towing service with a flatbed trailer is required for 4-wheel drive models. Front-wheel drive models can get away with being towed with just the front wheels lifted off the ground in emergency situations only, but this is hardly useful for recreational applications.

If you already own your Honda Pilot, and want to take it on vacation with you, you may be happy to learn that it sports an impressive towing capacity for its class. And while each vehicle has different exact capacities based on trim level or other options, you may find that your towing capacity leaves a bit more wiggle room than you initially expected.

Pro Tip: You can find your vehicle's exact towing capacity in the doorjamb of your driver's side door.

We hope this information helps you plan your adventures. Be safe and happy towing!

What our customers are saying:

"WOW! I am impressed! I called to place my order and real person answered, spoke perfect English, albeit a slight southern accent, and my order was sent within a day, shipped quickly and I had it a few days later. I saved over a hundred dollars over local and installed it my self. I cant imagine how that they could do any better. THANKS!"
