"I LOVE MY CAR BECAUSE... My wife and I needed a car that could take us across the country. We tried many different cars but the Honda Element was the most comfortable while still very roomy and affordable. It's especially great for camping with our dog. We've taken trips in other cars, but with the Element we have adventures."

will this car pull a tent trailer? And how many does it seat comfortably?

It only seats four and can tow 1,500 pounds.

I love my 2006 Element. The absolute perfect vehicle for camping. The seats fold down to a bed and with the cabana tent option there is plenty of space for gear and dogs. The interior design even allows you to hose out the mud! If you are an outdoors enthusiast, no other suv compares.
