Why the Honda Pilot’s AWD only works on NYC Streets

March 15, 2007 By barrie@compassdesigns.net Leave a Comment

Here in Vermont, us locals like to talk about the “5th season”, otherwise know as mud season. The Honda Pilot I have has AWD that doesn’t do too well in this 12″ mud. Its “traction control” cunningly stalls the engine power to ALL the wheels in the middle of a 30 yard stretch if mud.

The 4WD lock doesn’t do much better. Sure you can lock it, but you can’t go faster than 20 mph, otherwise it swicthes to AWD. I guess 20 mph works great on a wet NYC street, but it won’t give you the momentum to get across a Vermont road….

The Skinny

I am an entrepreneur, web consultant, author and educator.

I have been involved in starting a K-12 School District, a Private High School, and three web tech companies. I also wrote one of the original and best selling books on Joomla.

And I like sailing with kids.
