2022 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E shown in Radiant Red Metallic II.

Whether your lifestyle calls for hauling power or you enjoy taking spontaneous trips, having a little extra strength behind the wheel is always helpful. Therefore, you'll certainly want to turn your attention to our fine collection of Honda models, as many offer impeccable pulling power. With a wide array of body styles to choose from, we at Honda of Chantilly are certain you'll find one that meets your requirements.

SUVs

Gone are the days of limited options, because Honda showcases three SUVs with towing capacities, each of which have their own benefit. The CR-V is a compact model that employs a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine to crank out 190 horsepower¹ and 179 lb.-ft. of torque². When you spring for this ride, you'll have no problem pulling around a small trailer or boat, thanks to a 1,500-lb. maximum towing capacity³. If you require a little extra verve, turn your attention to the Pilot and Passport. These midsize SUVs run on a 3.5L V6 engine to flaunt 280 horsepower⁴ and 262 lb.-ft. of torque⁵. With standard FWD, these models have a 3,500-lb. towing rate6, but you can unleash a 5,000-lb. maximum trailer capacity⁶ with available AWD. The Pilot is ideal for large or growing families, thanks to an 8-passenger setup. If you travel light, stick with the Passport's 5-person cabin!

Truck and Minivan

If you need ample space either within the cabin or in the cargo area, you would be wise to choose a pickup truck or minivan. Fortunately, Honda has these body styles as well with the Ridgeline and Odyssey. The former is a compact truck that sports the same engine specs as the Passport and Pilot, but its standard AWD immediately puts you at the forefront of a 5,000-lb. towing capacity⁷! On the other hand, the Odyssey is a ride that makes you rethink what it means to drive a minivan. Operating on the aforementioned powertrain, you'll be able to get from point A to point B without wasting a moment. This ride has seating for eight and 158.0 cubic ft. of cargo volume⁸, so nothing will be left behind. And, with FWD, you can still haul your necessities with a 3,500-lb. maximum trailer rate⁹.
