#942 of 1070 Tow Ball Mount by mike334 Jan 17, 2009 (12:52 pm)
I just had the trailer harness installed on my 09 pilot. I would like to purchase aftermarket tow ball mount but I am unsure of the spec for the mount - Drop, rise and length. Can anyone help or know the specs for the OEM mount? Replies to this message: mikenak (Jan 17, 2009 2:55 pm) dcfak (Jan 19, 2009 3:27 pm) citivas (Jan 19, 2009 3:41 pm) mike334 (Jan 19, 2009 6:22 pm)

Replying to: mike334 (Jan 17, 2009 12:52 pm) I thought the 09 came w/ the tow package? When you say trailer harness are you refering to the ball or more than that? Replies to this message: citivas (Jan 19, 2009 3:41 pm) mike334 (Jan 19, 2009 6:22 pm)

Has anyone seen the bali blue honda pilot color in person? Does it look navy blue?

Replying to: dcfak (Jan 19, 2009 3:27 pm) The Touring definitely comes standard with the hitch and the prep package with wiring. It is a standard Class II (2") insert. Buying the ball is extra. I can't speak for the other trims.

Replying to: dcfak (Jan 19, 2009 3:27 pm) The Touring model comes complete ready to tow. The EX-L trim has the trailer hitch but the harness is not included. Still need to know on the tow ball mount the drop, rise and length so I can purchase an after-market kit.

I was looking at the pilot but am curious why a small v6 suv only gets 2 mpg better than a 300+ hp v8 tahoe? further why is the tahoe always at the top of the list in quality while the pilot has never been there?

Replying to: colorado1974 (Jan 20, 2009 11:02 am) Pilot isn't a fuel saving car, save 2 MPG is already money. Pilot retains its value so much better, that is another money. Plus Pilot is better than Tahoe in below (used CR's comapre it in latest models) Braking Driving Position Rollover Test (govt) Body Integrity Body Hardware Power Eqip Used Car Verdict   Don't judge a car simply by the exhaust pipe looks like a coffee can...

It also doesn't make the Pilot a "small SUV"

Replying to: colorado1974 (Jan 20, 2009 11:02 am) SMALL SUV? Are you kidding? The Pilot is as big outside as an Explorer. Inside, much larger.   You really want a Tahoe? Get the GM pimp car: the Escalade!
