Probably tow fine but in my opinion a 5k lb tow rating is the minimum for me. More margin for error, better safe than sorry, and allows you to go places you may not consider just yet. At flat terrain, your good, but when it gets hilly, the TV engine heats up, transmission heats up and the TV is straining. Can be dangerous on uphill when you have to take the truck lane and slow to less than minimum speeds and impede traffic. With camping gear, add-ons, people in the TV with more gear, the combined gross weight (TV+payload+TM+ gear) is near max. The TV dry, weighs 4500lb, the TM weighs under 4000 loaded plus any payload in the Honda including passengers! and then gear in the TM. Could be 9000 lbs.
