I tow my 2009.5 2720 with a 2000 Honda Odyssey which is rated at 3500#. The relatively long wheelbase makes for very stable towing with my WDH. And it stops very responsively as well. Since it is what my wife drives - has to work for her as well. No doubt 5k or higher would be better, but not as mandatory as some would like to think.
This summer took a two week trip to Maine and all worked well. Granted I did not have to cross the Rockies...but would not hesitate to do so. Lot of variables here, but a TV rated at 3500# can and has worked safely for over 2 years and numerous trips.
So based on my experience, I think a Pilot would work fine.
