The Honda has a V6, developing 260hp. The torque is adequate, with 240 pound-feet. I've got an OBD II reader installed that measures hp output at the wheel, I've yet to exceed 141hp - this on a relatively steep incline from a standing start. Towing on the level, with my setup, requires about 40-50hp, standard acceleration from a stop light about 65hp. In other words, we don't need a huge engine to get our trailer moving.
