Curb weights sourced from the NHTSA Canadian Vehicle Specifications database and recorded per body style, with fluids and a full fuel tank but no occupants or cargo.

Front and rear axle loads

At 57/43, the 4,522 lbs puts about 2,577 lbs on the front axle and 1,945 lbs on the rear — 632 lbs more over the front wheels, which is what front tires and front brake pads wear against first.

Against the rest of the standard sport utility vehicle 4wd class

Ranked on the lightest configuration of each nameplate, the Pilot is 20 of 81 in Standard Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD, 516 lbs below the 5,038 lbs median and lighter than 61 of its peers.

What the weight leaves for towing

With a AWD configuration, the 2026 Pilot is rated to pull 5,000 lbs — 1.1 times the 4,696 lbs the heaviest recorded truck weighs by itself, and 1.1 times the 4,522 lbs of the lightest.

That rating belongs to the AWD build, not to every truck on this page: a Trailsport 4dr SUV starts 174 lbs deeper into the combined rating than a Sport /ex-l 4dr SUV before a trailer is coupled.

How the figure moved since 2015

The lightest 2015 record is 4,312 lbs; the lightest 2026 record is 4,522 lbs — 210 lbs heavier (4.9%).

At the top of the range the 2026 file reaches 4,696 lbs against 4,513 lbs in 2015, a 183 lbs increase — driven by which configurations exist, not by the same truck gaining mass.

Curb weight already includes a full tank

The published 19.5-gallon tank holds about 119 lbs of gasoline at 6.1 lb per gallon, and curb weight is measured with it full. Run it to empty and the Trailsport 4dr SUV is effectively a 4,577 lbs vehicle — 2.5% of the figure quoted above is fuel you will burn off.

Questions these figures answer

How much does a 2026 Honda Pilot weigh?

Between 4,522 lbs (Sport /ex-l 4dr SUV) and 4,696 lbs (Trailsport 4dr SUV), depending on the configuration.

Does the Pilot's curb weight count against its tow rating?

Yes. The 5,000 lbs maximum applies to the AWD configuration, and the truck's own 4,522 lbs–4,696 lbs is already inside the combined weight the rating assumes. Heavier cab and drivetrain choices eat into what is left.
