Guide to Honda’s Towing Capabilities in Yonkers, NY

Honda’s Towing Capabilities

If you’re shopping for your next Honda vehicle and you’re hunting for one with impressive towing abilities, your first thought might be that the only option is the Honda Ridgeline. But the brand’s sole pickup truck isn’t the only model on their roster packing some serious towing muscle. The brand’s full-size SUVs also have towing capacities that will satisfy most drivers.

So, if you’re planning on hitching your favorite recreational toys to the back of your new Honda vehicle, these are the models that will serve you best.

Honda Vehicles That Can Tow 1,000 Pounds

Which Honda vehicle you’ll need depends heavily on what you plan to tow with it. If the recreational equipment you need falls under the 1,500 pounds range, you’ll have plenty of options in the Honda lineup. Not sure if your toys match that weight limit? Dirt bikes weigh up to 300 pounds, so even if you need to tow a pair of bikes so you have some company on the track, a vehicle with a 1,000-pound tow rating will likely be all you need. An ATV, on the other hand, weighs between 200 pounds on the low end and 1,170 on the high end. When you combine that with the weight of the trailer, you may find that you need a vehicle with the capacity to tow at least 1,500 pounds. So, which vehicles have a 1,000-pound tow rating?

• Honda HR-V Max Towing Capacity: 1,000 pounds
• Honda CR-V Hybrid Max Towing Capacity: 1,000 pounds
• Honda CR-V (Tradition Gas Engine): 1,500 pounds

Honda Vehicles That Can Tow 3,000 Pounds

Boats, campers, and RVs require a bit more brawn to get them to the lake, beach, or campsite. The average popup camper weighs between 1,400 and 3,000 pounds. Surprisingly, the Odyssey will likely be able to tow your favorite small RV. The combined weight of a boat and trailer can range anywhere from 900 pounds to a little under 6,000 pounds. To enjoy these common outdoor items, you’ll need one of Honda’s full-size SUVs or the Honda Ridgeline. Towing capacities are as follows:

• Honda Odyssey Max Towing Capacity: 3,500 pounds
• Honda Passport Max Towing Capacity: 5,000 pounds
• Honda Pilot Max Towing Capacity: 5,000 pounds
