Year to Year Differences - Click HERE for Original Thread
7k rpm
I was curious after doing some research on the year to year changes on the Pilot. I did a search but could not find any details. Is there a list or does someone have a list of the year to year changes. For example I have an 2004 and notice the 2005's have available sunroofs, higher rated hp and tq numbers (not sure why that is?) and VSA. Of course the body changes slightly from 2006-2008 with more features as well. Thought this would be interesting to see the changes from year to year. Thanks!

Have you seen the Model Library on Honda's US website? It lists a decent amount of information for each model year, along a basic overview of the changes.

Here's an overview of the changes from what I remember:

2003 - New

2004 - No Changes

2005 - Sunroof (EX-L), VSA (EX-L), increased hp

2006 - New front fenders, hood, headlights, front/rear bumpers, taillights; minor interior style updates; VSA standard; 2WD offered; side curtain airbags standard; hp increase from 2005 remains but published number drops due to change in measurement methods

2007 - No Changes

2008 - VP and SE models added, LX model dropped

2009 - All new

Thanks! It's a gift and a curse... :2:

I tend to obsess over things, and I was researching the differences in each year of the Pilot before I purchased mine back in November. I ended up going with a new one -- the used prices were still quite high for Pilots at the time, and I was able to get a decent deal on a new one.
