Super cool Video! thinking of towing a 6x12 trailer with our pilot. Probably will get an after market transmission cooler and go synthetic with the fluid. Very encouraging to see your tow!
It stayed in 4th around 3000 rpms. It did not hunt around and seemed to do great 👍. Will say that results may vary based on terrain. This was a mostly flat tow.
I have the Firestone W237604135 Coil-Rite Kit on my Pilot. It is the same diameter as the one recommended for 2003-2008 Pilots, but it is 2” taller. I am making an install vid this week?
I am still in the testing phase with the 235-85-16 tires. Mpg takes a hit and the Pilot won’t consistently stay in 5th gear over 70mph. I will be making a video on this during my upcoming trip to the mountains in 2 weeks.
This could be a good idea for sure. Especially if the bags are coming out. I have an Acura RDX and the lower control arm has a hole under the springs. Good for getting the bags in, but I’m always worried the bag may squeeze out at some point. Maybe getting a bigger width bag would make it hold in better? I ordered some custom heavy/lift springs from swift springs. Installing them in this weekend. Custom springs would be the best choice overall but not the cheapest.
I have a 2007 Honda Pilot and I am thinking I underestimated the ability of what it can do. Been watching your videos all weekend because it’s been raining here in Tennessee like crazy. This content is just as good as Dome Life and Life style overland. Would like to see more video on the camp sites. I like to see what others do when they camp.

Greetings from California👍
Greetings!
What were your rpms at your cruising speed? Did it tend to stay in a gear or did it shift around a bunch? Just curious thanks!

@@GotterAdventure good to know!
Hi. What’s the total weight of boat with trailer?
Awesome family adventure!
Just wondering what air bags you used decided to end up lifting and putting on 235/85r16s after watching your videos

@@GotterAdventure ok can’t wait for the vid👍 thanks for the vids
Great! Thanks. 👍
No problem!
See if you can use sumo springs. Much better than airbags if they make them for the Pilot

Hey Tom! that is a good idea, I will check out my options! I want to drive my rig your way sometime!
Are you in regular drive or were you in D3 pulling the boat.
Regular for this video. I tend to tow d3 now

What kind of weight were u towing as far as boat n trailer
I don't know the exact weight, but I imagine it is close to the 4500lb limit.
I can still here the weird tire noise my pilot also makes a noise like that i posted s video of it
I have mud terrains, they are going to make road noise 😂
I love honda cars I just buy a new 2022 Honda Pilot awd
Without towing what's the MPG of your pilot?
I’m averaging 14 with the roof basket. I believe I would get 16-17 without it.
That's not bad
