Pilot Engine, Transmission, & Fuel Economy
A classy, indulgent, yet powerful SUV. That is what Honda was going for when they created the 2011 Honda Pilot, available in Aberdeen, NC. And you can find this vehicle here at Steve Jones Honda, serving Fayetteville, Sanford, and Raleigh, NC.
Available in LX, EX, EX-L, EX-L with Navigation, EX-L with RES, and Touring trim levels and in 2WD and 4WD drivetrains, the 2011 comes powered by a 3.5-liter i-VTEC V-6 engine capable of 250 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque, Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) allows for better fuel economy without giving up the power you need and allows the Pilot to qualify for an Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle (ULEV-2) rating. And with a Variable Torque Management 4-wheel drive system (VTM-4) and a MacPherson front strut/multi-link rear-designed 4-wheel independent suspension, the Pilot features superb handling, unwavering traction, and an impeccably smooth ride that no other SUV can rival. Standard features like 17-inch wheels, Class III trailer hitch, heavy-duty radiator, and fluid coolers allow you to haul up to 4,500 pounds (4WD). |  | Pilot Standard Equipment and Options
With seating for eight people, the 60/40 split-folding second- and third-row seats allow for up to 16 different seating arrangements and a huge 87 cubic feet of cargo space when both rows are folded down. The Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with Voice Recognition, Off-Road Tracking, and Rearview Camera (available on EX-L models and standard on Touring models) ensures that you will always arrive at your next destination without making any wrong turns. Bluetooth HandsFreeLink, included in models equipped with a navigation system, allows you to stay safe on the road while making and taking cell phone calls.
On EX models and above, the Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control System with Air Filtration lets everyone in the Pilot choose their temperature comfort level without ever having to lift a finger to do so. And the sound systems on all the trim levels run the gamut, ranging from a 135-watt 7-speaker AM/FM/CD sound system with MP3/WMA capability, MP3/Auxiliary jack, and subwoofer on the 2WD LX all the way up to a 512-watt 10-speaker AM/FM/6 CD/XM Satellite Radio sound system with MP3/WMA capability, MP3/Auxiliary jack, subwoofer, and USB Audio Interface on trims like the 4WD Touring. |  | Pilot Safety Features
Safety is a very important facet of any vehicle, and the 2011 Honda Pilot features safety standard and in spades. All three second-row seats and the right-side third-row seat come with standard LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) to keep your little ones protected. Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with traction control helps keep you on the road by detecting over- and understeer conditions and choosing to either brake the individual wheels, reduce throttle input, or both. Meanwhile, the Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure; front airbags; three-row side curtain airbags with rollover sensor; and front side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) keep you and all your occupants safe in the event of an accident, making it one of the safest vehicles you could drive.
Winner of the 2011 Best Resale Value Award from Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com for the Full-Size Utility Vehicle category, the 2011 Honda Pilot takes the long-standing reliability and performance of Honda and merges it with all the sporty looks, cavernous space, luxurious features, and trustworthy safety you could ever want or need in an SUV.
