Honda Towing Capacity Guide

Honda Towing Capacity Guide

One of the primary benefits of owning a robust set of wheels is being able to haul all sorts of attachments to enhance family get-togethers, camping trips, and more. Since many of Honda’s SUVs, as well as its flagship pickup truck and minivan, are capable of towing, Fischer Honda is here to break it down and explain what each model can do. If you have any remaining questions, don’t hesitate to contact our helpful team!

Honda SUVs

To begin, let’s take a look at the three SUVs in Honda’s lineup that have the muscle to tow—the CR-V, Pilot, and Passport. On the lower end of the spectrum, we have the CR-V, which boasts a 1,500-lb. towing capacity1 across all trims for the 2019 iteration. This level of strength is ideal for people who just want to haul some additional cargo behind them. For improved brawn, opt for either the 2019 Pilot or Passport! Both models provide a standard 3,500-lb. towing capacity2 with 2WD and up 5,000 lb. of towing capacity2 when you opt for AWD in certain trims. This increase in vigor is thanks in part to the 3.5L V6 engine at the heart of these midsize SUVs.

Odyssey & Ridgeline

Though you might not necessarily think of minivans as particularly powerful vehicles, the 2019 Honda Odyssey puts this notion to rest. Due to the fact that this model is powered by the same 3.5L V6 engine as the Pilot and Passport, it’s also capable of hauling various loads. Whereas the LX, EX, and EX-L trims provide a 3,000-lb. towing capacity3, the Touring and Elite editions crank this up to 3,500 lb. of towing capacity3 for improved utility. Of course, if you plan on choosing the Honda Ridgeline as your next compact pickup truck, then towing power is a given. Similarly to the Passport and Pilot, the 2019 iteration of the Ridgeline delivers a 3,500-lb. towing capacity4 with 2WD and, when equipped with AWD, up to a 5,000-lb. towing capacity4.

Towing Safety

In order to enjoy your time on the road when towing, it’s crucial that you understand proper safety procedures. Since towing affects your vehicle’s turning, braking, and stability, it’s highly recommended for drivers new to towing to find a safe location to practice certain maneuvers, such as backing up to an attachment. When you’re at the dealership for a test drive, our staff can also give you a few pointers. Once you feel comfortable and know how to adjust your input, you’ll be ready to take your camper into the wild, your boat to Lake Michigan, and anything else you wish to accomplish.

We hope that this Honda towing capacity guide has shed some light on the specific capabilities of all Honda vehicles capable of towing. For more information and a demonstration, visit Fischer Honda today! You’ll find us waiting for you at 15 E Michigan Ave in Ypsilanti, MI.

Brandon, the sales manager, helped me purchase the dealership owner's 2020 Chevy Corvette and my experience was amazing. I buy a lot of vehicles out of town and this was by far the best customer service I have ever received. The car description was perfect. There were minor flaws that the detail department took care of as promised. The financing department got me a great rate. The car dealership worked with my shipping company to get the vehicle to me in a timely manner. I wish I could give more than five stars. I truly hope I have another opportunity to work with this dealership again! The car has been an absolute blast and arrived with luggage, extra set of rims, and all documents that I needed to get it registered locally. WOW! Good work Brandon and the Fischer Honda team.

I 100% recommend Fischer Honda

Fisher Service in Ypsi completed the recall repairs to my 2022 Honda Civic in very good time. Quick, friendly service and a driver to take me home. I just bought my car there last May, and so far, I am impressed!

Kelli at Fischer was wonderful. So informative but not pushy. She worked with me to beat other offers I had and she always followed up. Looking forward to continuing to work with Fischer for my service and car buying needs. Also they are not the closest Honda Dealer to me but they are worth the drive.

It’s worth the drive to support a business that is customer centric.

We drive 30 minutes to take our Honda for service to this location. We have closer dealerships but feel that Fischer gives superior customer service and excellent vehicle work. It’s worth the drive to support a business that is customer centric.

They worked quickly and I was quite comfortable working from their waiting area for several hours.

They had a great deal going on timing belt replacement, more affordable than independent mechanics and other dealerships. I was very happy with the work. The office is very comfortable and nicely updated inside (even if the outside looks a little tired) and everyone there was very friendly. Todd took care of me, let me know of other maintenance items they recommended, but never pressured me to move forward with it. They worked quickly and I was quite comfortable working from their waiting area for several hours.

Fischer Honda in Ypsilanti is the place to go and Todd will take care of you.

I got my first ever Honda from this dealership in 2014, and since then, I haven't looked back. I went from a civic to another civic, a CR-V, and now an Odyssey. I currently have 2 Honda Vehicles, a 2017 civic, and a 2023 Odyssey. This dealership provides excellent customer services from purchase to maintenance. I give a 5 star to Todd in the service department. He is a really friendly guy with outstanding customer service who is also very knowledgeable about honda Vehicles. He always goes above and beyond to make sure I am happy with my service. Just last week, he informed me about a recall on my Odyssey, scheduled an appointment, and took care of it. Their shuttle service is great and always on time. If you are looking for a reliable personal or family vehicle from a place where you'll get great service and maintenance over the years, Fischer Honda in Ypsilanti is the place to go and Todd will take care of you.
