The value of a comma... I was thinking there's an 'Ascunsion Honda' dealer....so whats the problem!? 
Sorry for your woes,, hopefully the right magic happens soon.
Otherwise,, a good reminder to service front ends and suspensions,,, Baja roads are a full-ON test for those.

Didn't you have a lot of problems with the last car you tried to drive down? You might be looking for a new car dealer..???

Drive slower and it is easier to avoid the potholes. If you want to drive fast, get a beefier suspension than is on pilot. Faster you drive, the
sneakier the potholes 
Woke!
Hands off!

you are right!
Always service your front ends and suspensions to prevent the rear suspension from failing.

....awright smarty. I perceived the OP was referring to parts of the front end and steering. I guess perhaps there's control arms in the rear
of cars now as well.

It is one thing to swerve to miss potholes with a Honda Pilot, much more difficult when it is a "towed" vehicle attached to a motorhome!
Let mw know if you need me to visit some of the La Paz area wrecking yards to see if they happen to have one of those critters in the yard.
I won't be pulling parts for you, but will forward the yard's contact info to you.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Hmmmm...
I thought the op was asking for a tow. The problem with unclear writing, is you have to guess wtf are they communicating....
Woke!
