Honda Pilot Towing Features

  • Hill Start Assist: When you’re on an incline, Hill Start Assist will apply the brakes as you move your foot from the brake pedal to the gas pedal to avoid rollback.
  • Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ AWD System: This system boosts the Pilot SUV’s towing capacity, as well as providing superior traction and control in even the most challenging weather conditions in and around Midland.
  • Multi-Angle Rearview Camera with Guidelines: Makes parallel parking or hitching a trailer or camper a breeze.
