Can a 2008 Honda Pilot Be Flat-Towed
Question:
Ive tried to verify my 2008 Honda pilot is ok to flat tow. Please can you help me verify it is ok to do so. Its 4wd but I am being told it is not towable on all four tires. I need be assured it can be towed behind our RV at speeds apx 60 mph or less. I will need all towing kits of course but I need to know how to do it. Can you advise me please.
