What Is the Towing Capacity of the 2024 Honda Pilot?

2024 Honda Pilot Towing Capacity Explained

The 2024 Pilot can tow up to 5,000 pounds, but that’s with the available all-wheel drive. Front-wheel drive models can haul up to 3,500 pounds when equipped with the right towing equipment. The Pilot gets its muscle from a 3.5L V6 engine that makes 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque.

Advanced Capabilities of the Honda Pilot

Intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4) AWD System

If you plan to take on some serious towing jobs, get the Pilot with the available AWD. The all-wheel-drive system comes with Intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4), which gives the Pilot better grip on slippery and uneven roads. It automatically sends power to the wheels that need it the most, helping you stay in control while towing.

Seven-Mode Drive System

The 2024 Pilot comes standard with four drive modes, but higher trims get up to seven: Normal, ECON, Snow, Tow, Sport, Trail, and Sand. When towing, switch to “Tow” mode on the driver information interface. This mode keeps the Pilot in lower gears for more power. It also makes the steering wheel feel firmer and turns off the rear parking sensors so they don’t beep while you’re towing.

You can toggle between the other available modes to suit the road conditions. Normal mode balances power and fuel efficiency, while ECON maximizes gas mileage. Snow mode is for driving on snowy or icy roads, while the Trail and Sand modes are great when off-roading. Use Sport mode when you need more power for highway passing or merging.

TrailWatch Multi-View Camera System

The available TrailWatch Multi-View Camera System (MVCS) enhances confidence when towing or off-roading. It uses cameras to give you a view of what’s in front, behind, underneath, and around your vehicle, right on the center display. This feature helps maintain visibility when driving over a hill, in rough terrain, or through a narrow path.

Hill Descent Control

The 2024 Pilot comes standard with hill descent control. When driving down a steep hill, it controls your speed, so you don’t have to ride the brakes. If you have a trailer in tow, hill descent control is a total game-changer. It keeps both the vehicle and trailer steady, so you can descend smoothly.

The 2024 Pilot is made for serious towing, both on and off the road. It also comes with a ton of features that make towing easier and safer. Drop by Honda of New Rochelle in New Rochelle, NY, and we’ll set you up with a test drive!
