All vehicle manufacturer's have agreed to the following standard to determine towing capacity. This is a short, easy to read article that outlines all the testing criteria:

Based on this, i wouldn't hesitate to tow up to the vehicle's rated capacity, as specified in the owners manual.

Keep in mind that towing capacity may be reduced by the number of passengers and payload in the vehicle.

Our 2024 Pilot has a towing capacity of 5000 lbs. However, this is with two people in the vehicle. Each additional passenger drops the towing capacity by 250 lbs.
