You drive a 2004 Honda Pilot engine is rated for 87 octane the manufacturer recommends to use higher fuel when towing can you get away with using instead?

No, you should not use 85 octane fuel in your 2004 Honda Pilot.

While the manufacturer recommends using higher fuel when towing, this does not mean that you can get away with using lower octane fuel.

Using fuel with a lower octane rating than what is recommended by the manufacturer can cause knocking or pinging in the engine. This can damage the engine over time and reduce its performance.
