You mention in one of your posts that you go on weekend trips to dog shows. Is this more or less under a couple of hundred miles or so? If so, it isn't worth the investment in a tow vehicle just to tow with. Just count on going slow.

We have an 04 Pilot. Empty of weight it might get 23 mpg at 70-75mph. When we load it up with our videography equipment, maybe 600-700 lbs it works really hard to stay in the 65-70 mph range. Mileage drops to the mid teens............

Yes, you could pull a small A/S with the pilot. Would you get there? Yes.....Would it be safe going down a long grade with a curve? NO.....Would it be fine on "flat" roads? Mariginal...........Would it make it up a LONG grade? Yes, at a slow speed working it's gut's out.................Good luck and God Bless...........Dennis
