RE: Honda Pilot Towing
Welcome to the forum!
If you already owned the Pilot or similar, it would likely work for a trailer you are describing.
Since you are thinking of purchasing a vehicle, a 1/2 ton truck would be a much better choice. It would open up your trailer choices, not forcing you to pass on one, that might be just a bit much for the SUVs.

Thanks Jerry, happy to be here! This is great advice.
Some models I looked at online included:
Pop up: Forest River Rockwood Freedom Series 1640LTD, which has a dry weight of 1,465 lbs and GVWR of 2,258. I figured a Pilot or similar could easily handle this (or a slightly larger pop up, this is just one I happened to like).
Travel Trailer: Forest River Aurora 16BHX. Dry weight of 2,969 lbs and GVWR of 4,396. I think this would be cutting it a bit closer, but I still think it would be doable?
And yes, perhaps a pick up would be better, but I’d like to stick with an SUV if possible. I just like them better (and would probably be a bit more affordable). But, I’m open to a truck, I’m still in the early phases of researching everything.

Honda Pilot Towing
I’m considering purchasing a Honda Pilot or similar SUV with ~5,000 lbs towing capacity. I’d like to purchase either a pop up or small travel trailer.
What’s the maximum UVW and GVWR you would consider for a Honda Pilot, or comparable tow vehicle (Nissan Pathfinder, Kia Telluride etc)? Does anyone have experience with this, or have any tips and tricks to look out for when RV hunting? I grew up camping in my parents’ Travel Trailer and LOVED it, but I’d be a first time trailer owner myself, so I’m new to this. Ideally I’d like to stick with a small SUV, but at the end of the day I suppose I’d consider a truck instead. Any help would be appreciated!
