Newbie Greg from Ohio
Just bought a 2015 X17Z. Towing with a 2014 Honda Pilot. Hope to do lots of camping with the grandkids but I have A LOT to learn!
p.s. I'm not very experienced with forums, so please bear with me. ☺

Hi Greg, welcome to the forum. You're going to love your trailer--mine is almost exactly like yours and it serves me well.
One thing you want to watch out for is tongue weight. It will vary a lot depending on the height after everything in your trailer and Pilot is loaded. As the trailer starts to tilt forward it puts a lot more weight onto the tongue which will drag it down even more.
Make sure your receiver has a height that keeps the trailer level after you're all loaded up. Remember, any tongue weight has to be considered as part of the load capacity of your Pilot.
