Expert Answers about Honda Pilot


  • How to Determine How Much Fluid Should be Added After Installing Transmission Cooler
  • What you will want to do is check the transmission fluid level after installing the Derale part # D12906 and then add as much as needed. Most likely around a 1/2 qt would be needed but that will depend too on if you spill any fluid (most do) and how long of lines you use.

  • How Does LED Light Bar part # 47-54-001 Wire to 4-Way
  • On the LED light bar part # 47-54-001 the white is ground which would match the white on the 4-way, the brown is for taillight which also should match brown on the 4-way, and the red of the light goes to the stop/turn circuit of the 4-way which will be the green for the right turn/stop or yellow for the left turn/stop. Either will work but it will flash with the corresponding blinker. If you want a converter to prevent it from flashing when you use the blinker you'd also want the # PP20-702.

  • 5-Pole Trailer Wiring Harness for 2012 Honda Pilot
  • If your Pilot came from the factory with a 7-way trailer connector, you would simply need an adapter like part # A75TB.

  • Availability of Trailer Hitch for 2015 Honda Pilot
  • The 2015 Honda Pilot should have been equipped with a factory trailer hitch, which is why you're unable to find an aftermarket model.

If you crawl under the vehicle and look up at the underside right behind the rear bumper, you should be able to see the hitch.
