Is the 2019 Honda Pilot good ENOUGH or still needs MORE?

- The 2019 Pilot receives a refresh on the exterior and a tad on the interior. Honda is trying very hard to break the minivan personality, look and feel the Pilot has received. Under the hood is the tried and true 3.5L V6 mated to a 9-speed automatic gearbox. With 3-row seating and tons of amenities, has Honda done enough?

This guy just keeps getting better and better highly detailed reviews as always
Nice interior and glad they refreshed the front a bit, doesn’t look that much now like the minivan. Pilot has been the top suv for Honda IMO. Great video Joe 👍
Yeah I think I rather go Passport.
3rd row seat testing is needed in the review.
I appreciate you sharing your input and perspective! Thank you for watching!
It’s really good , fits adult two passenger, negatives no USB. ☹️
"If a real pilot drives a honda pilot"
Never loved the look of Pilot but we need a wheelchair accessible vehicle and VMI converts the Pilot. Just got the 2019 EX-L black on black and we really like it so far. Amazingly the space for wheelchair (former second row) is more ample than our 2008 Odyssey wheelchair van. I’m glad the styling improved for 2019. 👍
When you show under the hood how do you remember all of those facts? That's impressive.
It just sticks for some reason! I really appreciate you saying that!
I’m the same but can’t remember the birthday dates of my family.
36k miles on my 2019 pilot and it has transmission issues. Stay away from this model year. Never again honda
What trim level do you have ? Is it 6 speed or 9 speed?
I bought the 2022 pilot and I love the way it looks, it’s a suv very well designed. Thank you Honda great performance and reliability . Perfect for my lifestyle
This looks very nice, especially in this white. They really need to add exhausts.
I couldn't agree more with you Steve!
I’ve got 1 into 2 like the passport on my 2019 pilot EXL
All the minivans nowadays must be seriously discounted.
amill1563 I know right! They just sit on the lots!
Minivans are next to go after some compact sedans got axed.
AGREED!
When all car reviewers complain about folding down the second row seats flat? Let me ask you something: how often does anybody fold down all the seats but the front? Not so often, so what do you need a fancy schnazy button for if you won't use it often?
This is not to hate on you, your reviews are great, its just a thing reviewers complain about that I don't get why.
I agree. Would you rather have it the way it is or pay extra for something you barely use
For me, it's still a mini van if it has ratcheting armrests up front. Major zonk. Great review as always.
Beautiful weather in Florida, you are lucky. I love your channel god job 👍🏻
Thank you so much for saying that! It really helps with getting the car reviews done, although it will be really hot come the summer!
The Toyota Highlander is better than the Honda Pilot. There’s a reason why you see many more on the road than Honda’s. It doesn’t look like a lifted up minivan. Highlander actually looks like an SUV.
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Ikr! 2020 has redesign!
ELPJM09 everyone has their preferences. I don’t care for the Highlander. Have always liked Honda products better.
Excellent video Joe! 😎👍 I really like the Pilot but would be more interested in buying a Honda Passport because it's a smaller vehicle but it still has plenty of room for passengers and cargo.
There are a number of interesting choices in the "tweener" category (circa 190" in length) larger than the compact category and smaller than the larger midsize vehicles (196" and up) including the Passport, Ford Edge, Outback, Kia Sorento, Hyundai Santa Fe, etc. Most are two row crossovers. The Sorento is an exception. And most offer standard or optional V6's. The Santa Fe is the exception on that score. All in all, the "tweener" group isn't widely recognized as a separate category but for those who want more room than a compact SUV but something more maneuverable and easier to park than the larger midsize entries, the category has some interesting choices.
Thanks Mark for saying that! I actually have a comparison between a Pilot and Passport coming soon!
I like your review and explaining everything. I have it 2019 Honda pilot touring now and she loves it so do I.
Thanks David for taking the time to say that!
AWD actually tows 5k pounds. FWD tows 3.5k pounds. Nice review!
Thank you for clarifying this.
Some AWD doesnt have the transmission cooler which makes it 3500 lbs towing capacity, unless all awd are equip with the cooler on the 2019s.
I think it's going to take more than a "refresh" for the Pilot to beat off the competition from the Telluride, the forthcoming Palisade, and the new Explorer. Honda is very good at offering lots of clever "family friendly" features, large and small. And their reputation for quality and reliability will provide some defense. But the entire category of what Americans call larger "midsize" SUV's (and the rest of the world call behemoths) is becoming very, very competitive with new models.
Yes, 'Midsize' is not the same as it used to be.
Stephen H. Exactly. It's almost embarrassing to compare this to the Korean twins. They are superior in every way, including price. Honda better do a good job on the redesign!
I totally agree with you Stephen! You being up some great points!
So very true!
AGREED!
That arm rest is a deal breaker. Had it on my CRV and never again. Not comfortable at all.
AGREED!
Nice, wide, padded center console is the only way to go.
So much to like about the Pilot, but passenger comfort has to be a priority.
Long road trips give you a lot of time to think about the stuff that bugs you.
Hey buddy I have to zonk your camera man he moves around a lot ,in some of your videos even camera gets confused dont know what to focus on, and please keep up the funny comments,some new born babys🤣 . Good work
Thanks for the feedback!
Trying currently to decide between a Pilot EXL or Touring, a Palisade SEL, and a 4Runner SR5 or 2019 Highlander XLE, all fwd. Also trying to take the complaints of every model with a grain of salt on the NHTSA.gov site. They all sound like nightmares, and make none of these vehicles seem reliable. Fyi, the deals you can find on the Truecar app are phenomenal.
Honda sells an "Elite" variant that has cooled seats and other luxuries. However it is only sold in snowbelt states since it comes only with AWD.
Needs a major overhaul especially considering the Kia Telluride especially the SX trim is definitely the best looking for what options you can get & a price tag that won’t break the bank.
The SX trim is more expensive then the Touring trim. I agree that the SX trim looks nice but you could never go wrong with a Honda so.
Never smart to buy a vehicle in their 1st or 2nd year of production.
I totally agree with you Edward!
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
I totally agree with that David!
Nice Review again! The pilot is Lot better than The Highlander, but Dont care for either on Styling on Exterior! But The Explorer is a Nicer Ride...
Very good points!
Highlander looks so much nicer...and has hybrid so that’s a plus Honda doesn’t even offer that like why..
Take a look at the 2020 Hylander on youtube. It's going to be impressive!
Don't get me wrong. I like the Pilot. But it's not even fair to compare this to the Telluride. The Kia is cheaper, more luxurious, more stylish and more spacious.
AGREED!
Your right but this generation came out in 2016, hopefully the next one will compete more with the Kia.
All in an overall size that's (surprisingly) virtually the same as the Pilot. The same, by the way, applies to the Subaru Ascent. In fact, KIA does a remarkable job in terms of packaging "efficiency" in both the Telluride and the smaller Sorento. Divide the total passenger room (in cubic feet) by the length of the vehicles (in inches) to get a measure of the "passenger room per inch of length." The Telluride and the Sorento are #1and #2 among all three row SUV's.
Not reliable. Highlander is the best.
@@JJustinXu Current data suggests that Kias are very reliable. I like the rugged stance of the Highlander, but it's just SOOOOO old and small compared to the Tulluride.
That huge thing gets to 60mph in 6ish seconds ⁉️ *impressive* wow
hello, i am a new 2019 honda passport touring owner. i am here in canada. the touring is the top trim level. picked it up last week. 13,000 KMS on it. not sure how many miles that is. and just today - thu april 30th i get the infamous loss of radio signal and then the network communication failure and it goes dark. no pwer on it. then a few mins later it turns on by itself to the sirius xm station i was originally listening too. this happened 3 times within an hour. but the 4th time it never turned back on. stayed dark for an hour and i got home. turned the vehicle off. waited 3 mins and turned it back on. but NO screen. was dark. nothing. MANY videos on youtube also show the SPEEDOMETER goes dark as well. nothing showing your speed. THAT becomes a SAFETY issue. not a cosmetic one like the radio not working. videos show the infotainment screen turns off at the SAMETIME the speedometer screen goes dark. thats not good. im assuming all honda sending isnt working either since nothing is on the screen above the steering wheel. yes the passports have the SAME infotainment system as the pilot and odyssey's. and the samething is happening to 2019 acura rdx models as well. this is a HUGE SAFETY issue for honda. a HUGE class action lawsuit has started the the states. here in canada i dont see one yet. i need to start one because the issues are with the passports as well and it MIMCS the u.s. case. this is a SAFETY issue folks. look at these videos. would this be cool for you to drive in these situations with a 3 year old in the back seat? maybe not knowing if the honda sensing is working or not. not knowing how fast you are going.....hmmmmmm sounds like it becomes a NON street vehicle without a speedometer no??? WAKEUP HONDA !!! this is going to be a HUGE recall for you. odyssey's, pilots, passports, acuras. wow.
you can run and deny but you will NOT be able to hide.
HERE IS THE VIDEO LINK OF THE ACTUAL LAWFIRM TAPING IT:
th-cam.com/video/Wx6uiQpxHCk/w-d-xo.html
read the link i am attaching. a HUGE lawsuit has ALREADY started !!! im in canada so i cannot get in on it. i have a 2019 PASSPORT. its doing the SAMETHING !!! just got it last week. UNREAL.

I come here for the zonks.
There are plenty more to come!
I just got an 2019 pilot it’s great love it
Hi I wanted to know in the 2020 pilot does the steering feel really loose or the faster you go will it tighten up love you videos
We test drove a 2019 this weekend, in Houston, so no ventilated seats is a deal breaker and that arm rest, ugh, terrible terrible terrible!!
dvd player for what? nobody uses that tech anymore, ur paying for something you cant use.
For the kids I guess!
For everybody who doesn't want an optical drive there's probably somebody that does it's just nice having it there in case you need it.
I love stopping at redbox on my trips!
there is bluray and dvd ;)
My kids use the dvd in my touring every single day
Still looks like a mini van to me.
I feel your pain!
great review for a great car.
Thank you so much Robert for taking the time to say that!
Hello 👋. Love all your reviews. I would love to see some reviews of SUV’s with Quade/ captain seats 💺 please. Especially this make and model. Thank you and stay safe.
Since you did a review of the 2019 H PILOT AWD, could you please 🙏 do a review of the All-New 2023 H PILOT for one of your reviews PLEASE for the year 2023 🙏?
What's the MPG for the 2019 H PILOT AWD? What is the MSRP? Can you tow (a.k.a. a trailer) behind the 2019 H PILOT AWD? What is the weight of a 2019 H PILOT AWD?
Honda Pilot or the rav4?
I would go Rav4 Hybrid.
Highlander
Thank You Almighty God, I will buy one for myself
Dream family car
If Honda want to attract the earth loving soccer mums, they need to make a trim that has a hybrid engine
I still love my internal combustion engine, but rising fuel prices makes me think twice about flooring the pedal sometimes.
SUV are usually equipped with AWD or 4x4 so calling a FWD SUV a SUV sounds oxymoron to me
The Pilot is more like a mix between a tall MPV inside with SUV like looks on the outside
weird to still see DVD player system in cars, prob the last time i saw them was in the 90s and 2000s
i think the iPads has mostly replace the need for DVD players
gone were the days of expensive sound system with giant subs and amps
That is so very true about ipads and even cell phones!
Thanks for the video. I have the same exact car but AWD. Towing is 5,000 lbs if you have it. They did make the armrest wider for 2019. I do prefer a fix armrest like my old MDX though.
I love my Touring model but hate all the chrome on the outside. I plan to delete everything even the wheels. I don't like all the gloss black on the inside too and wish there were aftermarket trim covers for them. I do agree that the steering wheel needs to be like the one my 18 Accord though. I wish they would've kept the remote like in the older year pilot instead of having it separate. Those small pockets on the back of the front seats are for the remote because it's too small for phones hehe.
Thanks for sharing your input based off of your experience!
3,500 lb towing capacity is for the FWD, the AWD is 5,000 lb as Hang Nguyen said.
Thanks for the video!
Potential 2019 pilot owners: please stay away from 2018-2019 Odyssey and 2019 Pilot, apparently, a lot of pilot owners have reported that the pilot has a defective infotainment system, it malfunctions, freezes, and sometimes shuts down suddenly, it may displaying “radio unavailable” or “network connection lost”. If you want to know more info, just search “class action lawsuit 2019 Honda Pilot” on google, apparently, a class action lawsuit was filed against Honda for knowingly selling defective vehicles and refused/failed to fix it. You can also go to carcomplaints.com to see the consumer Reports.
Awww whyyyy!! Dang it
When is the 2020 come out? You think I wait for 2020 or just get the 2019?
just get the 2020 instead. worth the wait!
jacob colonel thank you
No console arm rest. Deal killer.
I feel your pain!
Exactly!! I hate that and nobody talks about it. The new 2020 hylander please lol.
I like it! Great job!
PremierChoiceFitness thanks for saying that!😎👍🏻
No that’s good job for Honda for the 2019 PILOT
No ventilated seats. Fuck this car
I know that nothing in common between the pilot and gmc terrain I gust need your opinion for both cars pls
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
HIGHLANDER OF COURSE!!!!!! 2020 has a redesign!
So very true Justin!
Justin Xu no...will stick with what I consider a better vehicle...Honda
Why don’t Honda introduces CRV seven seater....although rest of the world has CRV seven seater. Pilot is v expensive with big engine
Thanks for sharing your in put and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Because the CRV is too small.
The transmission problems was solved?
What TRIMS can you get on a Honda PILOT?
I like it and your videos.
Thanks for letting me share it with you Kevin!
Nice review! I like the slightly smaller Passport for me if I was buying one . 👍🏻👍🏻
AGREED! I actually have a side by side comparison coming!
When we can c review on passport
L S Passport hasn’t been out long enough to see what changes need to be made. Passport is a nice size. Have Pilot & love the comfort.
alowz18 puukalot Manufacturers change things every year.
What model is this
Best review
why pilot 2019 dont have browser
The 80's called and want their arm rests back. I can't believe Honda thought that was better than the previous model that had a large center rest and none of those flimsy fold-down rests. Overall, I've disliked the changes Honda instituted with the 2016 change. My 2012 is still better looking - inside and out. I wouldn't buy the current model.
Thanks for you input and perspective I appreciate you watching!
I still miss that version. I had a 2010 model. One of my favorite vehicles that I've owned.
The mirror looks pearly cause the color is white orchid pearl...
That is so very true!
Why was the speedometer going like 18 24 28 32 35 38 45😂
Good question.
2020 Traverse or Pilot?
I am going Pilot!
If you put your faith on a gm product over honda, good luck to you. However, the traverse is a bit bigger/longer.
@@squidusn71 Ended up buying the Pilot. Very happy so far.
Nice job Honda 👍👍👍 much better than the Highlander.
I am so glad that you liked this Pilot David!
@@RaitisRides Yes, also liking your daily and sometimes multiple video uploads !!!
It’s not better than the Highlander. 2020 has a new redesign. Besides Highlander has hybrid Honda doesn’t.
@@JJustinXu At this point the Pilot has the upper hand. Hybrid doesn't make economical sense. People only buy for symbolism.
DAVID Y well I have the 2019 RAV4 Hybrid and love it! Best mpg and I’m getting more than suggested.
All Honda vehicles automatic ZONK on the front for fake air grills. How ever a handy person could make them usable....just sayin. The Pilot's new marketing angle....get a workout while waiting for the kids at practice
I like what you did there Dan!
Raiti's Rides trying to expand my horizons. So the next job opportunity will be there LOL
Well on the base end this looks to be a pretty good value and thank God no CVT here. On the higher end when you start approaching 50,000 I would go with a BMW X3 over this.
Like your vid's but man does camara shoots are not good at all no offend just a constructive critique
What dod you mean about the camera shoots?
Raiti's Rides too darks I can't barely see when the interiors shoots and driving shoot is ok but a little lower so I can see the street better. Everything else is good thanks for the consideration. Success.
Fake vents are so cringey.
I feel your pain!
Bout time Honda!! ♥️
Younger babies. 😱
Who used DVD anymore?
Someone out there!
Honda has done a terrible job on this the ride is terrible I bought one mistake
Honda Pilot or Mazda CX9 in extremely cold places?
CX-9 for me.
Raiti's Rides Thank you! My impression is that Pilot’s i-VTM works better than Mazda’s AWD system in snow and ice. May I know your reasons for picking CX-9? That would help me in my decision what to buy. Thanks again!
Pilot. Cos I can’t trust CVT and all Mazda are CVT
@@JohnWickkkkkkkkk Incorrect. Mazda doesn't use CVT, they use 6 speed automatics.
@@consciousawakening4799 they use turbo engine which aren’t reliable
More
I have more coming!
YOU FORGOT TO TRY THE 3RD ROW.
Just buy the van
Minivanish lol
I am so glad that you liked that! lol
Thumbs up Raiti
Thanks man! How is the new truck doing?
@@RaitisRides already have a recall...lol
就我一个说中文的吗？
Thanks for watching!
我啊
Nice 👍🏽
Thank you for letting me share it with you!
lol mini-vanish 🚐 most 3 row crossovers are the new minivans
Except they all have tight 3rd row compared to a true minivan.
That is so very true!
Very good point David!
Put on sunglasses bra
Good idea!
hi
Hello!
5000lbs buddy
I appreciate you sharing your input and perspective. Thanks for watching!
Makes me happy I don't have children
This SUV makes a horrible noise in (right back wheel) in uneven pavement. Honda says that this is normal. Regret this purchase. Doesn't worth the price.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this Eugene!
Eugene, thanks for sharing your experience. When I was watching several Pilot review videos, I also noticed that this SUV creates some subtle noises whenever it passes uneven pavement or speed bumps. Inferior shock absorbers? Chassis?
@@hunkim4744 well it sounds like a whole combination of things in the geometry of the frame/suspension. But something like that would definitely be a deal killer for me.
It’s ugly.
2nd 😫
L S I still love you brother!

Thanks man!
