I have to agree with the others. Though my Ranger was able to pull 6,000 lbs., and both the trailer dealer and Ford agreed that it would pull our 4,000 lb just fine. Even with the weight distribution/anti-sway hitch we had only gone about 2 miles toward home when I decided to buy a full sized truck. That was with just water, gas and batteries, no other load in the trailer or truck. Besides power and suspension, the wheelbase and tow vehicle weight make a difference. Trying to pull 20'+ of trailer with a small vehicle is like the tail wagging the dog, and your Pilot is even shorter than our Ranger was. If you are not willing to buy a bigger tow vehicle, I would seriously consider a lighter trailer, such as a pop-up or one of the 16' models that are just around 2,000 lbs.
