Honda Pilot Towing

I don't disagree with the brake controller or brake inspection. Just responding about anti sway and wdh.

Brakes have been a biggie for me. Had my 13' Boler set up with a Prodigy controller. Plan to have the brakes checked and the new vehicle also set up probably with the same Prodigy. Another part of Pilot towing requirements is a full-size spare tire (not standard equipment). Does anyone know if the regular size spare fits in the same space as the "emergency" spare? Am asking as I had a Mazda one time with the little spare. I had to replace it and a new one cost a fortune. The guy in the shop said just get a regular tire as they also fit in the same space (under the hood). And it did! Thanks so much, you've all been a great help!

Connie, a standard wheel and tire will fit in the space for the donut. I'm pretty sure you can use the 17" steel wheel from the base trim as a spare even if you have the 18" alloys (check with a dealer, but I believe the smaller wheel has a higher profile tire, so the circumference is the same). A brand new wheel from a dealer is pricey, but sometimes they have swap-outs at a discount. Check out auto recyclers (aka, junkyards) in your area. There's also a Pilot owners forum that's worth a look in the classified section: Honda Pilot - Honda Pilot Forums.

Thanks, Jon!

Fnally purchased a Honda Pilot (2011) yesterday. Took me awhile to try out the different possibilities and even longer to find a light colored Pilot. Just too hot here in the desert side of Washington State to drive something black! Thanks to all of you for the input!

Great! It will be a nice TV for your needs.
