What is a good "small" tow vehicle for an NSX ?? Am considering one of the midsize SUV platforms -- such as Acura MDX / Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander / Lexus RX300, etc.
Most of these are rated at 3500 lbs; some suggest a higher capacity (4500 lbs) when towing a "boat".
What are other folks using ??

As far as towing the NSX, I actually checked into that and got confirmation from the Customer Service guys at Acura. I purchased the optional towing package that equips a tranmission cooler and an oil cooler as well as the hitch and wiring to get the job done. If you consder that that an NSX is typically 3,200 lbs, and a featherlight trailer is not more than 500-600 lbs, then you have a total of about 3,700-3,800 lbs. You are allowed to use the "BOAT" weight of 4,500 lbs with the factory towing package as long as it is with a light OPEN trailer. The 3,500 weight assumes a FULLY ENCLOSED trailer that is big and bulky, like a U-haul. There is also a CONSDIERABLE safety factor built into it for the US due to litigation. It seems they have a 500-1,000 lbs reserve just in case.Can you blame them given the whole Ford Explorer / Firestone deal.
