Can a Honda Pilot be rear wheel drive?
The problems could be that the Pilot is basically a Front wheel drive. Pathfinder and 4Runners, which are rear wheel drive, offer the stuff necessary to tow. 7 pin connector, wiring pig tail for the under dash brake controller, and a serious tranny oil cooling radiator, instead of the pipe with fins offered by Honda.
How much does it cost to tow a Honda Pilot?
A transmission cooler and power steering cooler are needed for the complete tow package. I have seen brand new Pilots being set-up with a hitch and electrical at the local U-haul for less than $300, this set-up would easily tow 2000 pounds, except the warranty might be jeopardy.
Is the dealership manual written by the manufacturer?
See, the manual was written by the company that built your car. It is the most accurate description of how to care for it. But when people go to the dealership for routine maintenance, the service advisor pushes the “dealer recommended service” on them.
How does the service department work at a car dealership?
The service department is the real money-earner in a dealership, so service advisors and technicians are encouraged to find repairs. Many people don’t know it, but your service advisor gets a commission on your repairs. The more you spend, the more your service advisor takes home in his/her paycheck.
