Can you flat tow a 2021 Honda Pilot?

I’m going on my first camping vacation since I bought my recreational vehicle. However, I also want to take my 2021 Honda Pilot so I can do some side trips without sucking down extra gas. Can I flat tow my 2021 Honda Pilot without any issues?

Unfortunately, the 2021 Honda Pilot cannot be flat towed. Its drivetrain is not designed to be pulled along with its wheels on the ground. Even in an emergency, you’ll need either a flatbed trailer or a two-wheel dolly to tow the 2021 Pilot.
Keep in mind that all-wheel-drive Pilots require a flatbed trailer. While a flatbed is still recommended for the two-wheel-drive version, you can technically use a two-wheel dolly as long as you keep speeds under 65 mph.
If you want to buy a flatbed trailer, you’re going to need between $1,000 and $3,000 to get one. To offset some of these costs, try lowering your
