The button next to the Traction Control is the heated wiper blades ( Hot air is blown to keep the wipers from frost build up ). 3rd video I watched were they simply skip over the button.
The two things that irk me, the fake exhaust tips and the push button gear selector. Do I wish they offered captains chairs for the second row? yes. Honda is about 97% there on this one.
@@VagabondBuilds pretty much. I’m holding out for the’25 Passport. They keep the real tips, I can live with the gear selector. It’s going to use the Pilot’s interior anyways, just updated. Can’t beat the reliability.
@michaels7984 Not always about 3rd Row. Cargo space also comes into play. The Pilot has more cargo space with 3rd Row folded down. Also the under floor storage space for 2nd Row middle seat if not using to stowaway seat. Myself had Honda completely redesigned Ridgeline Pickup Truck like 4th Generation Pilot. I would have got that. We have a 1st Generation Ridgeline 2006-2014 in family. Also smaller 2024 HR-V EX-L AWD. I picked both of those vehicles out. But they are not my personal vehicles. So, no Ridgeline Pickup Truck complete redesign the Passport less Cargo space. Also No complete redesign. Honda CR-V even smaller and a 4 cylinder Turbo CVT no IVTM4 AWD. The Acura RDX also Turbo and smaller but has SH-AWD like IVTM4. That leaves only one choice other than Pilot. The Acura MDX it's cargo space is also less than Pilot. You can't stow it's 2nd Row middle seat in under floor storage like Pilot. So buying a Pilot Elite or Black Edition each has same features.
I just picked up the Ridgeline Black Edition to replace my 05 Ridgeline that still runs with 391k miles. There is nothing horrible about this Pilot, sat it this exact same model and it is awesome! If you don’t like reliability, good looks and practicality then yeah it’s horrible..
I got 2021 Honda pilot Black Edition . I fall in love it
Nice!!! Glad to hear you like your choice!!

Thanks for the info! It will be of help to others!
I love the 3.5L naturally aspirated engine. I’m not sure how you can fit 3 passengers in the 3rd row. 😅
Slightly more tight in the rear bench.
Make sure 2 of them are midgets.
Center counsel is same as old mdx
Interesting.

Are all these a make it or break it for you?

The Trailsport has standard captain chairs
@@AW-xb5ufIt also does not have as much space in rear center cargo well.
The red stitching is so hard to see. Should have been more prominent.
In the video or just in general?
@@VagabondBuilds in this specific car. the video is great!
I want back Accord V6. In 2017, Honda priced the Accord EX-L V6 at an MSRP of $30,995. Pilot is overpriced, don't need 3rd row!
Well, welcome to the green deal effect from our leaders..
Accord dosent have IVTM4 Torque Vectorng AWD System.
If you don't need a third row, then maybe just buy one of their two row suvs instead?

I think elite looks way better
All comes down to preference in the end.
Earth is flat
Well that is interesting hehe. I hear ya 😉
No DVD players for the kids naaaaa
Would you add them?
You can buy DVD players on-line for the kids. They have dual setup to play one connected movie on 2 screens or 2 separate movies .
Gas mileage is horrible. Nope
What mpg were you expecting?
@neilaltschuler6064 It's a V6 not a hybrid and AWD.
Horrible
What is ?
