I bought mine so I could do some limited towing. When I move, I want to pull either a 5x8 or 6x12 UHaul and the Pilot goes beyond the limits of the 5x10 and can tow most of the gross capacity of the 6x12.

Here is a article from MSN.com concerning 5 top SUVs. Notice they are rated by "Experts" and "Users". Compared to the Ford Hybrid Escape and Ford Explorer and others, Pilot comes out at or near the bottom of the list in almost all categories. Even users (come on folks, that's us) rated it lower).

What is interesting is the vast amount of N/S entries for data. How can they rate something if they don't have the information?
