Yer skeered (kidding) Our 2020 Honda Passport (rare???Black Copper Pearl) elite AWD with Toyo Open Country ATIII 255/60R18 wrapped on some black 18x8 HPD Ridgeline Rims. Stock height, no skid plates but she is more than capable, while being my wifes daily. This model has a (above average) 550w stereo system with heated & cooled front seats & a post possession OEM class III hitch & transmission cooler. I test drove that exact rig you have as it was sitting on the lot while I was getting my oil changed. I know the salesman, so we took a good test drive. It was a nice ride and absolutely a must buy if you needed something like that BUT we have a very capable 2 row rig that packs all of the Pilot in a smaller package, for us. She does Pismo sand dunes ☑, Big Sur forest roads ☑, gets 25mpg on hwy ☑, heavy ☑ From Lassen to Shasta to the Redwoods to O.C. I'd buy another. ✌🏼

I understand that the company put these limits in place to stop us from blowing up the transmission. It’s still annoying tho.

That's exactly how mine showed up last week to Canada. Very quick shipping. Hooks already installed, and it went well. Thanks. Cheers. 👍🇨🇦🤠

Order confirmation was very quick and same with shipping to Cali from PA. Just installed it tonight on Honda Pilot 2019 AWD EXL. The way everything bolts up is precise and simple. I got it with the security bolts and definitely recommend these. This shield is heavy duty and mounts very solid - does not make contact with top cat wrap shield so no vibration noise - very well designed. Thank you for creating it!

Do you know which light bars work with this rack?

How's it look mounted on your truck????

While all the things you mention are valid this vehicle is not meant to be a 4x4 trail vehicle. It's a mom car with awd to get you around in bad weather or a very easy non paved road (trail). You want to do some serious off roading like you are talking about get a 4runner or a jeep. This thing is not that vehicle.

I just got to the point in the video where you mentioned the scan gauge you are so thorough😊

Fantastic video, I just got a 2025 Honda trail sport looks identical to yours. How do you monitor the temperatures but did you use or is that a feature in the gauges?

👍🇨🇦🤠

Just ordered tow hooks for my 2019 Ridgeline. I'll let you know how it goes. Cheers. 👍🇨🇦🤠

👀👀👀All those Pilot lift kits looking for a new home

What about in manual mode? Does it still autoshift or will it hold the rpm till you shift?

What size is your thule rooftop box?

Thank you!! I want this! This is the best I have seen so far! If you have little interest it's because people are lazy like me and don't want to do it the right way... Just wait for it and we will buy

You would turn the heat on, to cool the engine... not the ac. lol

Hey Ian, what brand mounting bracket are you using to attach the awning to the rack?

Nice work Ian 🙌🏻

Love it.

Awesome! Great work man. I look forward to the final product! Any estimate on the price as of now? Will it come in as all powder coated black or will it be bare Aluminium? I take it all of the hardware (minus some tools) will come as a kit?

Looks great buddy! Love it. Make one for the gen 1 now 😏

Beautiful. Quality and really well thought out. Do you know when you’re releasing the 2023+ Pilot version?

I can't see the engine temp on my 24 pilot trail sport. 😢

I test drove this trim even though my mind was made up to get a 4Runner but i liked the look of the Pilot a lot. It's a great suv, very roomy, drives nice. The Trailsport is more capable off-road than most people think.

You haven’t noticed any difference in the drive or altering the function of your axels? Curious as I really want to lift my 2024 touring but without compromising the original integrity of the vehicle

Ian, Is this the same installation process and torque specs for the 2023+ Pilots?

On my 24 Ridgeline I spent so much time attempting to reinstall the splash guard only to cut half of it away and then give up the lost cause. Plus having the splash guard off made it easier to install the skid plate next. Also on the 24 Ridgeline I did not have to cut out that hole in the bumper. It will fit underneath the bumper you might just have to trim a little off the very bottom edge that sticks out.

is it possible to show the wiring process for the electrical part? im not an expert at installing additional wires on the car. Thank you.

Highly considering the a new pilot for our family rig. Is the AWD system the same for other trims? I’m considering a touring or elite..would get a trailsport if they had a middle row bench

I order mine with security hardware and noticed theres 2 different set of washers. does it matter which washers I use? one washer is stainless steel and the other isnt stainless attached to the set of security hardware.

Where did you get the rock sliders?

I have one as well . Love it but the breaking does suck sometimes . Might just be me but it doesn’t break as smooth as it should .

Do you have an install video for the gas tank skidplate? (Am I missing it somewhere here?)

Softopper. Buy or no buy?

Do you have a front skid for 2022 highlander xle?

Do these fit the gen 1 ?…

Love your point of view and impartial take on the spacer lift front. What's your take on the Flatout coilovers since they're the only non-spacer suspension option offered out there? Especially given the mixed reviews, JonDZ and Manny's aversion to them, and even CampingRandy having some issues with them as of late according to his latest UA-cam live? Is it worth to keep waiting for another option from those like Manny, or is it worth going with Flatout now?

Is that a Ridgeline Roof Rack Prototype I see?🧐 Is it made using 5052 Aluminium? I cannot seem to find a roof rack that is not made using steel, so if you pull it off with lighter and more corrosion resistant Aluminium while still being plenty strong, that is awesome! I look forward to the updates!!

Jsport safari bumper would be a good addition to prevent that type of damage.

That Truck needs a Lift and it will go places👍😄

Yay.

That looks like an awesome time to have with your boy! 👍🏼

With this fit 2024 Toyota Highlander

Nice? Which cross bar model/manuf did you go with? Looks like the ones you have include a t lock channel?

Useful information provided. Thank you.

so don't lift the honda....

I'm thinking bout getting that lift kit. But I have a quick question: Where did u get that front emblem tint? I want to blackout my 23 Pilot Elite... that front emblem sticks out like a sore thumb

OEM is acoustic glass and after market is not. Had to get ws replaced before I had 1K miles on the RL thanks to a gravel truck. My insurance covered OEM because that is a specific Honda recommendation due to safety system. Honda states that calibration on non OEM is not guaranteed to be possible or accurate because of optical differences in the laminates.

Great Video! I just ordered my Bundle, front skid plate and rear Differential skid plate for my 2020 Ridgeline.
