Best Honda vehicles for Towing

Whether you look through our new car inventory online or in-person, you're going to see a variety of body styles, such as Honda crossovers and trucks. In general, those body styles are great choices for people who tow things. As you become increasingly familiar with the crossovers and pickups in our showroom, you'll see that they're capable of holding their own regardless of whether you tow equipment for work or "toys" like a boat or a pair of dirt bikes for recreational purposes.

Towing Capacity Explained

Drivers who tow things regularly or occasionally need to know the lingo that's involved to ensure they can transport their load safety. Here are some terms you should know if you're planning on towing something:

GAWR: This is shorthand for Gross Axle Weight Rating. GAWR is the total combined weight that each axle is rated for. When you contact us - your local Honda dealers near San Antonio, TX - we'll explain that rear axles typically have a higher rating than front axles.

GCWR: A vehicle's Gross Combined Weight Rating, is the combined weight of your automobile and trailer that your vehicle is rated for.

GTWR: Your trailer's Gross Trailer Weight Rating, is the maximum weight the trailer can carry, including its own poundage.

Payload: If you're considering a truck like the Honda Ridgeline , you may hear people talking about payload when you visit our Honda dealership. Payload refers to the amount of weight a truck can carry in its bed.

Towing Capacity: An automobile's towing capacity is the amount of weight it can pull in back of it. When properly equipped with all-wheel drive, the new Honda Pilot and the Honda Passport can tow up to 5,000 pounds apiece.
