2022 Honda Pilot EXL | CAR MOM TOUR

[@jullianscarborough8276]

I’ve had my 2021 pilot for a year but I loved this review! There are a couple things I’d like to add- you can actually click the “mom mirror” into place so it stays down and you can watch the backseat. Also, the lid to the extra trunk storage actually rests at the bottom of it creating the perfect recessed ‘bin’ for a full load of groceries.

[@jodyminix429]

I love having that little bin for groceries.

[@heatherkarp7664]

Agreed! I have a 2021 SE and I absolutely love mine!

[@CaliSteve169]

Agreed. I'm very happy with my 2021 pilot elite.

[@kelceynewell]

You can also turn the lid upside down (with the carpet side facing down) and have the hard plastic side face up- so if you're hauling garden supplies, toys after the beach, etc.. it wont get the carpet dirty. pretty cool!

[@BoardroomtoBounceHouse]

Agree I love it to keep them from Rolling around

[@shoreline30a5]

Yes please bring back the Honda Pilot box style!!!

[@meghanlambert5640]

Love your content! Helps narrow down mom cars to test drive when shopping

[@sarahdeatrick8478]

We have this exact car and have 3 car seats across in the bench! It’s doable!

[@gifford888]

Really looking forward to the completely new Pilot and Odyssey in a few months!

[@michaelwiebe4282]

I have a suggestion for you, David: Watch Doug DeMouro's video on the latest Odyssey, and then on the Mercedes Metris!

[@hannahfaulhaber5185]

So happy I found your page! Would love to see what you think are the best family and gas-mileage cars (:

[@JosephLyons-de1mn]

We’re buying a Honda Pilot based in part by this video. Thank you for your evaluation!

[@Someplaceinthemiddle2025]

Honda turned a really great SUV into a mini-van!!! We changed over to the VW Atlas. Hopefully Honda will come back to the boxy-side one day!

[@carriprom621]

My first thought was that it looks like a minivan too, just a bit higher!

[@marisvelpalmer3824]

Absolutely love the 2nd gen Pilot and was able to test drive the new 2022 model. It’s fabulous for hauling kids and dogs and hands down love the storage compared to Toyota.

[@taehwarang0414]

I was so waiting for your Pilot review. Thanks.

[@mackenziepayton4312]

So helpful! We are renting this car while ours in in the shop to see what we think.

[@Fitnessgirly]

do the chevy blazer next 😭

[@jill5006]

Love your style Kelly!

[@nunyabidness3075]

So, I was looking at you in the car seat, thinking there’s no way I’m going to be comfortable in those tiny seats. Luckily, you mentioned you are 6’ tall, lol. Going to keep this on the list of choices. I’m 6’3” and as I get older, seat comfort gets more, and more a priority. If you could tell the manufacturers two facts, it might help. One, the driving population is getting taller, and sits too much, and needs better seats. Two, the extensions that lengthen the seat to support the thighs on long trips WILL sell cars.

[@pilot2020]

I love my 2020 honda pilot exl with navigation and res .I love how comfortable the seats are and I'm 6'4 260 .I have plenty of leg and hip room.my kid loves the DVD player.the only con I have about the car was the tires that come with honda the bridgestone duelers, last 3 honda I got all came with them .they are by far the worst tires ever horrible in rain and snow and sloppy cornering and all three cars I got 25k out of them .put a nice set of michelin defender tires on the honda incredible feel the car is better then factory .

[@BoardroomtoBounceHouse]

I love mine! Couldn’t be more true wanting to sit in the back between my new baby and toddler so he doesn’t throw stuff at him. Too bad I went with captain seats though! 😂

[@anel496]

Will you please do a tour of a Lincoln aviator? Thanks

[@tippytoe1250]

I also prefer the boxy style. We had a 2007 and planning on getting a new one. We also have an Odyssey and this new body is too similar to the Odyssey for us. Hopefully the 2023 is different

[@rebeccawheeler8112]

Please do sedans - Altima, Camry, Mazda 5, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord.

[@pedrogonzales4669]

Bought a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder for my daughter and her kids and didnt think about Honda Pilot

[@mihwaturonis4717]

Can you review 2022 Chevy Treverse? Would love to see it from a mom’s perspective

[@lynnevans29]

This is a beautiful SUV. I have the 2021 Honda Pilot, and they drive wonderfully! However, shame on you Honda for charging the prices that you do, for the Pilot.. , with such poor gas mileage. This is the one thing that needs improvement! That is my only trip other wise, I love my Honda Pilot EX-L Model SUV! ☺️

[@thinkpositive2393]

Nice video. It's a great SUV, well worth the money.

[@aubreep3381]

Is the body style going to change for 2023? If it is, is it a bad idea to buy the 2022?

[@meganchaves1192]

Loved this review! Hadn't included the Pilot in my search until watching this video! I wonder what you think about including info on the ability to take out a 2nd row seat in your reviews?? I'm going to have 4 kids age 5 and under all in car seats this summer & need to switch to a 3rd row car. I will need to help the kids in the 3rd row with getting buckled in and will constantly need to get back there. It seems like completely removing one seat in the 2nd row (the 40 in a 60/40 bench situation) would be better than climbing over a folded down seat, but there's very little information out there on which vehicles can have a seat removed!

[@michellebailer5863]

Hi! I have 4 kids 5 and under and I would fold the 40 seat in the second row down and just kept it down all the time. So it's flat but not removed. Then I put the oldest farther away because he could buckle and I could just tighten him. Then I had access to all the others to fully buckle. I put the infant car seat in the middle of the second row since I could buckle him before putting his car seat in. Works great! Tight for sure but possible!

[@StephenPaul1160]

We have 5 kids in a 2014 Honda Pilot. Ages 10 down to 1. It's a squeeze but totally doable. When we had four, we would often have 2 in the third row and 2 in the second row with the 40 seat in the second row slid and tilted forward for easy access to the 3rd row. Enjoy your family - those younger years will fly right by!

[@krzysztofcwik5347]

All big SUVs and minivans should have childseat tilt and 3 seats in 2nd row with cupholders on doors not armrest in middle 2nd row seat - making it uncomforable! You buy that kind of car when You have big family. For 4 peole all crvs, rav4 foresters of the world will do well:) and I hope new Pilot will be also plug in and sold in EU with all family essentials!

[@stephanietierneyluca]

Did the middle seat have a headrest? I went back to check but it didn’t look like it.

[@ezmima1175]

That color is crazy!!!!! I was in between this and the odyssey and I ended up getting the odyssey! The pilot was so close, it’s so nice!

[@jamestylerdev]

Could you do a video on the 2023 pilot trail sport?

[@elizabethalcala6275]

Can you fit booster/high back booster in the 3rd row and have 2 other back riders?

[@kellyhatcher9902]

Ohhh love your videos!! Please do the tesla model y!!

[@avery.norman426]

There is no xle, this is actually the special edition

[@jnouetmorales]

I would love to see how you feel about the Durango.

[@757monster]

Nice job with the review

[@happyraikoti4904]

I have honda pilot 2022 with high features model thats 69000k pilot is great elite model is good for feature

[@JamesQuintero7]

Nice but too rounded like every other vehicle now days. Im looking to get a use 2014 or 2012.

[@sanmac9621]

Don’t know why Honda don’t promote it’s best vehicle so far Pilot, the only midsize category suv, which can easily win its competitors, but poor technology, and barely update front appearance.

[@tnrose]

This seems similar to the telluride.

[@nikkileigh1585]

I love the older big body style too. Guess if the inside is as roomy that's what matters

[@midlifemom5829]

I used to own the boxy look . After that , the rounded body so unimpressive. It is a reliable car, but so boring with cheap materials. Wish they chiseled and made it more rugged and sporty. I prefer captain seats for my teens and dog. That trunk lid should be a drop in.

[@karigonzales1465]

Are their head rests in the middle seats??

[@alhoward6514]

Great car 🚗

[@chrischung2051]

Not trying to be the guy but that’s a special edition not an EXL

[@MrCarpediem6]

Pilot or Highlander? hm

[@XxsoonerbornxX]

It's a nice somewhat reliable boring car.

[@lovemovesmountains7798]

Looks like a minivan

[@williammarcum2384]

I love the car and want to take her to lunch.

[@mariusz128]

Looks like a minivan - no thanks. Telluride blows this thing out of the water.

[@kevs2good133]

You couldn’t close the sun glass holder 😂 that’s how cheap honda is

[@bobp1016]

The Honda Pilot is ugly. Every time I see one I think it’s one of the ugliest cars on the road. I also hate the push button shifter.

[@margaretelizabeth1850]

My first car as a 16 y/o girl was my mom’s 2003 Honda Pilot- amazing first car for a teen! I was hit by a speeding car, totaled my Pilot, but I was totally fine!

[@trishawigginsbell5482]

I had a honda pilot a person ran the light and caused me to Run into a utility pole and everyone was ok tooh the whole impact..

[@scruffy281]

I can't tell you HOW MUCH I ENJOY this channel. You are a GODSEND to young mother's who are desperate for this type of knowledge. I sent your video to my pregnant daughter and three of her new mom friends. This Honda Pilot would sure make the new parent journey easier. We literally are on our third Pilot (our 2nd car is a Passport) and we love it. The only thing that would make this sweeter, is if the back doors opened like a van. For the "tight" parking spaces that I have to get the grandchild out of the car and into the stroller. Maybe an Odyssey is in this old Gma's future!😂Thanks so much for this video!!

[@PlasmadaeDal]

Great review! I consider this one of the best family cars if you are avoiding the minivan :) We bought the 2021 Honda Pilot Black Edition, with over 10k miles under out belt here are my thoughts... Took it on a road trip and it was great! The black edition has a few more upgrades that include Memory seating for front driver side. Heated and ventilated seats up front. Captains chairs are heated (not ventilated). There is red interior ambiance lighting and fancy red stitching on the seats, including the back. Bluray system and the sound is great! This pilot has great AWD in snow, from Utah, and never had any issues. Handling is great. For the size of the vehicle, the interior is great. Plenty of power! The engine in the pilot is unreal...it sounds like a sports car when you floor it. it just doesn't sound like a family car, and I prefer driving in Sports mode, and when I do, it's actually pretty fast! I looked at every SUV and yhe pilot was the only bluray system available, has hdmi that we hooked up th3 switch to, and we got it below MSRP...these days you may pay MSRP. I looked at the TELLURIDE as well, and it was between the Pilot and it, and I opted to NOT go with Telluride because they were 6-9 months out for the model we wanted, and 7% above MSRP...forget that! The pilot is simple, practal, clean design, and the engine is fun, especially in sport mode...fuel efficiency isn't bad either! I would definitely recommend this, even tho the exterior design is old and possibly even boring, but in the white paint with black edition, it actually looks really nice! One of my favorite features is the add on "Welcome lights" get these, they are awesome! (Welcome Lights demo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKiXiJ2pfq11mZY I would buy this vehicle again. Only complaints: *Button shifting on 3-point turns are slow. *Conveyor car wash unfriendly *wireless charger is useless and does NOT work My wife LOVES this Pilot. I'm betting the boxy design comes back on their next major refresh...mark my words :D AND it's going to last forever as long as you change the oil every 4k miles (ignore maintenance minder, which will mislead). Thanks!

[@ericaengler]

Wait, conveyor car wash unfriendly?? Why?

[@PlasmadaeDal]

@@ericaengler To go in a conveyor carwash, you need to put the car in Neutral and the conveyor pushes the vehicle, right...This Pilot has a button shifter, and to get OUT of Nuetral, you need to hit the brakes. When you're on a conveyor, it'll jerk your vehicle and I sadly had our rims scratched :( I asked the carwash folks and of course they didn't want to accept responsibility. These Pilots really need a carwash mode so you can switch back to drive without having to press the brake. I figured out a way to very lightly press the brake so it minimally stops, but that is the bummer about conveyor car washes. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

[@morganca42]

I have a 2019 Honda Pilot Touring and have the button shifter. I wait for the conveyor at the car wash to completely push my car off the track after the drier is done and then push my foot on the brake and then into drive that way it doesn’t catch on the track and mess with my rims or tires. LOVE my Pilot. It’s such a beautiful family car. No complaints at all!

[@PlasmadaeDal]

@@morganca42 I'll have to try that next time, thanks! Does your wireless charger work? Ours charges for 10 seconds, then off, then again 10 seconds, then off...doesn't stay in charging mode!

[@brendamalmquist8497]

I noticed the wireless charger doesn't seem to work on our 2022 Honda Pilot Elite too :( I want to say on our vechicle, I was able to connect a Amazon Fire Stick and/or a Roku stick via the hdmi cable in the center console. I then connected the stuck to the vechicle's wifi. It allowed me to watch my TV apps in the rear entertainment system.

[@jayj9592]

I found your channel when I was looking for car reviews. You get to the point, good opinions that matter, pros and cons. I didn’t know so many cars have so many cool features! I really enjoy seeing so many car types. ☺️👍🏻

[@KMoneytime]

Just got a 2019 honda pilot and crazy how many great options the EX-L is already loaded with. Makes me curious about the 2022 lineup's trim levels above the EX-L, and how much they offer. Great video thanks! The car seat portion as always was definitely what my wife needed to see!

[@Zzyzzxx]

This is a special edition model. Its similar to the exl where it has leather seats, but a se upgrades to the black 20” wheels, roof rails, and wireless phone charger.

[@locdnlove2016]

Finally! I love the pilot but I’m in between the pilot and the Subaru ascent. I sold my Jeep Wrangler after I had my baby and struggling to find something else. I drive a Scion xB at the moment but even with one baby I need more space 😫

[@robin5610]

Nice one, you genuinely are trying to show how dire things of the countries and it's citizens. Economically and other aspects. At this time the future doesn't look good. First thing. About solving a problem is to acknowledge it. It's doesn't look like the media wants to do , I hope your channel expand and bring awareness and opportunity to people. ❤️

[@catrinamcelpraug.9890]

When it comes to the world of investing,most people don't know where to start.fortunately,great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance

[@jesslynn2105]

I heard a lot of investing with Mrs Martha and how good she is, please how safe are the profit?

My Sonic Gray Pilot SE arrives in 8 days. Been waiting 60 days! Researching accessories like crazy! Keep up the great content Kelly!

[@JenS821]

I have to agree, the boxy style was my favorite thing about the look of the Pilot. I have a CRV and I really enjoy Honda and their SUVs. I love your car reviews from a mom and family perspective!

[@JayMurrr]

Have you seen the brand new one!?

[@longobardisusqu]

I have three kids and consider this car almost perfect for us. I wish there was a car seat friendly tilt. I’m currently looking to do three across with the right car seats. It was the best value for us when my van was falling apart.

[@chrisE815]

What do you mean by tilt?

[@ericaengler]

I’m with you, I definitely miss the old body style!! I would looove to see you review a Durango!

[@midlifemom5829]

I see so many cars in sonic gray. I’m over it.

[@maylee2029]

I never noticed a single one until I bought the sonic gray. It happens every time I upgrade to a new car. Then I notice there’s a lot out there 🙂

[@mackycuarts]

How about make a honda 2022 crv review? Because people go to 5passenger suv and they either go rav4 or crv most of the time... so maybe a crv review will be nice to watch from your perspective as car mom

[@Therealestrunnerluda]

No mention of vcm issues or lawsuits they have. Waste

[@travisbg44]

Appreciate someone doing reviews with carseats in mind. What vehicles can you actually access the third row without removing carseats? I like the Pilot but not being able to access the third row is a deal breaker

[@fernandezamor6422]

Ford, Lincoln, VW atlas, just to name a few.

[@joyspellmann4312]

Question, why get a bench if it basically renders the 3rd row unusable? Wondering if 2nd row captains would allow usable car seat option(s) in 3rd row?

[@shaquontaekellam7179]

Yes it does! I have a 2018 elite which has the captains seats in the second row. There’s a button on the second row seats that spring them forward and fold, giving you easy access to the 3rd row. It gets complicated when you have two car seats on the second row.

[@carriprom621]

If you have three rear facing car seats, a bench seat is the best option. We have a surprisingly small selection of SUVs that will work based on 3 rear facing and where the anchors are located.

[@charlescottrell1857]

Love the room and features of the Pilot but we’ve had two of them and had major problems with both. Will be buying something else next time.

[@tiajuliano]

Love that you got to review a Honda! Would love to see a Passport!

[@michaelwiebe4282]

I think she did it already!

[@amandadicapo6072]

Thank you so much for doing the Honda pilot! Definitely helped make up my mind on my next vehicle!

[@timt6860]

I know some people don't like this design but I get well over 30MPG with mine on the highway and I think it's because of the aerodynamics of the design. I used to drive mine from SoCal to Vegas a lot and drove from California to Virginia and would routinely get 30+ MPG on the highway. I don't have the 9 speed though, just the 6 speed EX so not sure if that makes a difference.

[@GrowingIntuitiveEaters]

Thank you for your reviews! They are SO helpful and I really feel like they've influenced which car I am leaning toward!

[@brittany9893]

Love all your videos!!! Would love your opinion on GMC Arcadia!

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

First time seeing your videos and I love how you're showing potential every day life within the vehicle.👍👍👍

[@elizabethzittle664]

Love the Hondas!

[@eprohoda]

good niight~ wow.nice sharing~ goodbye!.😈

[@mcmugandmcdull]

You’re my favorite car reviewer. Not saying other reviewers are bad but everytime I see some reviewer whip out a dead cat (that fuzzy mic thing) I just roll my eyes and skip through those parts. I wanna know if my stroller is gonna fit and how much car seats look like lol. To each their own I guess!

[@tiaharr1487]

I’m confused why your title is EXL trim when you even state it’s an SE? This is a Special Edition not an EXL. The EXL does NOT come in this color, it does not have black wheels, any roof rails, and the EXL has Crome on the front grille. The EXL also does not have the wireless phone charger or the hands free lift gate.

[@jobblyvids]

Thanks for video. I'm 6'2" and drive vehicles with the seat all the way back. Was your driver's seat all the way back with that rear facing car seat behind it? So far, I've found only mini vans or crew cab trucks can accommodate that...

[@kathleenroche5369]

Yes

[@MotionMayer]

🤔

[@juliafradkin6408]

Did I hear you say that if you have 2 car seats in the second row you can’t get into the 3rd row?!? You mentioned it quickly so maybe I misheard but seems like a huge deal

[@hasibakhan6732]

How would you go into the back row with this set up? What if another Adult wanted to sit all the way in the back with the other car seat? Im trying to figure this out with my pilot.

[@AdilKhan88]

Would really appreciate if you could review Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro 2020-2022. I did watch your 2023 review. Thanks.

[@JoeyV104]

I have a 2016 pilot and it’s the same exact design interior except it has an extra USB port in the front console not excited about the changes they’ve done in 6 years

[@NewVanquished]

I don't even have kids, but I love the Pilot so much. I grew up in one and I'm seriously considering trading my 2021 CR-V for one for more space for friends and traveling. Great review!

[@firegerbil822]

We managed to get our hands on a 2022 Honda Pilot Black Edition a few weeks ago. While it wasn't our first choice we are loving it so far! Due to the shortage we tried to have a few options we were interested in and Honda happened to have a Pilot on the lot that had not been claimed yet, finally had some luck.

[@kathleenroche5369]

Go Honda!

[@allthingswithbrezhae9789]

I have a 2022 pilot and love it

[@toddcrumbaker1207]

Any problems with it so far?

[@katherinetavarez8243]

Love your reviews!!! I plan to buy our family car this year and these reviews trully help a mom like myself with two toddlers. I would like to request if you can do a review on the Mercedes Benz GLB? I’m debating between that car and the MDX

[@21mamaafrica]

I do agree I prefer the old body style this looks like a bigger crv from the outside. Love the trunk space. Still shopping for suv between this and Acura MDX
