Replying to: citivas (May 02, 2009 4:13 am) Yeah, it's a hard call regarding 2wd vs. 4wd. I live in Maryland and we haven't gotten any really bad snow storms or ice in a really long time. And the snow and ice that we do get generally shuts down schools and I try to work from home on those bad weather days. So since I don't do a lot of driving when the weather is bad, I figured that a 2wd is sufficient.

Replying to: daddyyankee (May 01, 2009 10:01 pm) Thanks everybody. I appreciate the feedback.   I'm probably going to see about a Touring Navi. Touring does add a lot of value with the nicer stereo, phone capability and power tailgate.   Daddyyankee, thanks for the response. How bad is the wind noise? I noticed the Highlander also had some noise and I thought it was because the the lower profile tire. I kind of like the 17" wheel on the Pilot, keeps replacement costs a little lower. And there seems to be good tread on the 17" tire. Replies to this message: tina1976 (May 04, 2009 9:22 am) theworkz (May 04, 2009 1:50 pm) daddyyankee (May 04, 2009 7:53 pm)

Replying to: s2k3011 (May 04, 2009 8:59 am) Make sure you test drive the Pilot on the freeway with the stereo off. The EX-L and up models actually have an acoustic windshield so wind noise is almost non-existent from the front. However, I am starting to notice that the road noise at 65+ is a bit high. It seems largely due to the rumble from the stock Goodyear Fortera tires. Also, there is also some minor wind seepage from the driver's side B pillar area. I think I might have a loose seal. Anyone else having road noise issues?
