Has anyone towed the rpod (2015-183G) with a V-6 Honda Pilot in the mountains. We are thinking of the Durango/Urey area to camp. Am a little concerned (even with minimal weight in the Pod) that we will have difficulties up and down the higher elevations.

Assuming it's a 4WD pilot it will be slow, but you'll get there. Get and watch a transmission temperature monitor. Note that my experience was with a 172, a lot lighter than your 183G.
