Ah, that makes sense. I'm sure there have been a lot of changes in the Pilot in the past 15 years.
I do want to say, I sure hope that the passport holds up as well as our 04 pilot.
I do all of my own mech. work.... The pilot had 256,000 miles when we traded.
In that time, other then scheduled maintenance, the only repairs were, one front wheel bearing, rear window regulator, and one inner tie rod end. (at that time, I purchased a kit through moog, and replaced both inner and outer tie rods, along with both lower control arms)
The interior was in excellent shape as well as the exterior, (other then some hail damage)
In my 43 years of vehicle ownership, the honda pilot has by far been the most reliable.
