Both engines were rated at 244 hp (182 kW) and 240 lb⋅ft (325 N⋅m) of torque the power reduction is because Honda used the updated SAE net power standard. The Pilot received more updates starting with the 2006 model year, engines were either the J35Z1 (FWD) or the J35A9 (4WD). All Pilots from 2003-2005 feature VTM-4, Honda's four-wheel drive system. Other changes included the transmission with revised 4th and 5th gear ratios providing a smoother transition between gears, along with a new fuel tank design, increasing the Pilot's driving range by over 40 mi (64 km). The 2005 Pilot received a new engine, the J35A6, which added drive-by-wire throttle and produced 255 hp (190 kW) and 250 lb⋅ft (339 N⋅m) of torque. The 2003-2004 Pilots featured the J35A4 engine, an all-aluminum 3.5L V6 SOHC with VTEC, producing 240 hp (179 kW) and 242 lb⋅ft (328 N⋅m) of torque. The second-generation Pilot was also sold in Russia, Ukraine, South Korea, Latin America, and the Philippines. The Pilot is sold in North America and the Middle East, while the Honda MDX (first generation Acura MDX) was marketed in Japan and Australia for several years. The Pilot is Honda's largest SUV, although the 2010 Crosstour surpassed the Pilot in length. The Honda Passport that was sold between 19 was a truck-based design. Prior to the introduction of the Pilot, Honda marketed the compact crossover CR-V and the Honda Passport (a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo). The Pilot's unibody construction and independent suspension are designed to provide handling similar to that of a car, and it has integrated perimeter frame rails to permit towing and light off-road use. The Pilot shares its platform with the Acura MDX, as well as the North American market Odyssey minivan. The first generation Pilot was released in April 2002 as a 2003 model. Pilots are currently manufactured in Lincoln, Alabama, and the Pilot was produced in Alliston, Ontario until April 2007. Primarily aimed at the North American market, the Pilot is the largest SUV produced by Honda. The Honda Pilot is a mid-size crossover SUV with three-row seating manufactured by Honda since 2002. Front-engine, front-wheel-drive (2006–present).Front-engine, four-wheel-drive (2003–present).Honda has really let us down on this one. If I could dump this car, I would never look back. Oh, the collision available system blares at us in the rain at every stop light that we're hitting something in the front right corner. It's like the manufacturer literally has never heard of memory, nothing in the car stays saved on next startup. The entertainment system that was supposed to have all these great apps available with the monthly Hotspot service has been completely abandoned, the few that are actually there don't function. During this, we get a idle engine critical failure alarm when letting off the brake, which jolts the car forward a bit as the engine starts then stalls then starts again. At a light, stopping engages the idle stop which shuts off the engine, a setting that impossibly must be disabled everytime you start the car. My wife says "oh that's odd, it's usually the driver side that won't close." she's just so used to the problem, even though we've taken it in 2 times for this already, that she's numb to it now. Today, the passenger side sliding door just stopped mid way, no beeping, no backing up, just stopped. When the car started shaking and reducing speed to 30 mph max, I had it towed in to find out fuel injectors needed to be replaced (this car is 2 years old!) and was told the alarms were probably from the toll tag position on the windshield (what?) Luckily, the manufacturer warranty ran out 200 miles before this, and Honda wouldn't cover a penny of it. Most recently, every warning and alarm in the car would come on in startup (brakes failed, engine failed, anti skid out, power steering failed, all of them) every time it rains. There are so many electrical issues, I can't begin to describe them all. We're stuck with it, because the value is far less than what we owe on the loan. We purchased new from dealer and have had problems with this car from day 1.
