Hey claytonc70,

You should scan your PC. Seems it's trying to pass along a known malware (searchknow-a.akamaihd.net).

Just a heads up.

2012 Honda Pilot EX-L...apparently the 178 is well within it's tow capacity.  We live on the prairies so no hard pulling yet other than the wind.

I'm interested to see how it works in the mountains (Banff - Jasper - Kelowna - Vancouver)

We pulled our 2016 179 R-Pod with a 2015 Audi Q5 TDI (diesel). We travelled to Alaska from southern Ontario, Canada, via western Canada, then south to Yellowstone, Mt Rushmore, Badlands, back home. Total 21365 km (13276 miles) in 9 weeks. No issues at all with either the R-Pod or Q5. Just a great trip and lots of memories.Smile

I pull my 178 with a Jeep Grand Cherokee turbo diesel.  I live in the Tetons and to get from one side of the mountains to the other I have to go over Teton Pass which has about four miles of 10% grade on both the east and west sides.  The turbo diesel pulls it like nothing is behind me.

Pulling our new 179 with a 2016 Ford Flex AWD.   Works Great--fuel mileage in testing about 13.5.  Plenty of power even on steep grades but best of all a quiet and smooth ride.

I had no problems whatsoever on the Interstates. However, it did cause me to think that it would be nice to get something with a Diesel engine.

Watch out. Once you have a diesel, you won't be able to go back. Especially when towing...... Just saying.
