#3 of 8 Honda Piolt Beach Driving by birdog3 Aug 26, 2007 (3:07 pm)
Has anyone taken there Pilot on the beach. How does the 4wd work on the beach. I go to outer banks often and would like to know if this would be a good SUV to drive on the beach? Replies to this message: dsung (Aug 27, 2007 2:45 pm)

#5 of 8 2009 Pilot - Off-road at the beach?? by ed111 Jul 10, 2008 (5:38 am)
Can anyone comment on the prospects for the 2009 Pilot on beach sand?   I understand that with a dashboard button, all 4 wheels can be locked up, so I am guessing that the 2009 Pilot would be OK on sand.

Replying to: ed111 (Jul 10, 2008 5:38 am) The 4-Wheel lock will disengage automatically about 15 mph or something like that. The VTM system in the pilot is not designed to work as a full time 4x4 system. Replies to this message: spartafish (Sep 10, 2008 12:52 pm)

Replying to: mercara (Jul 25, 2008 4:41 pm) I have an 05 Pilot and have taken it on the Beach at Island Beach State park NJ three days in a row. The Pilot worked FLAWLESSLY on the beach. I saw a few other Pilots as well as the Ridgeline on the beach. Lower the PSI to 15lbs and keep it under 18 miles an hour and you will be fine. Happy driving on the beach!!! It is a BLAST!!!! Also make sure you are in 1st or 2 gear and engage the VTM-4.
