Trading in our Honda Pilot for a ‘15 Limited

[AmpliFIRE]

Hi Everyone, new member checking in . I posted this in the new member forum and thought it would be more appropriate here.

We are trading our 2012 HP in for a CPO ‘15 Limited with 35k miles tomorrow. I’ve owned Pilots (06/12) for the past 10 years and wanted to mix things up a bit. The Honda’s have been great but not perfect. My main concern is reliability of the Expedition. Outside of regular maintenance and wear and tear items, are there many known issues with the 15’s? Any advice would be much appreciated as I’m not looking to get into a money pit.

I noticed a few things on the car fax that seemed a bit odd.

- The truck had the Battery serviced at 15k miles.
- Body electrical system checked, Seat memory computer/module replaced and Front seat replaced @ 24k miles

Thanks in advance!

Batteries today just aren't all that reliable.

Seat and computer service sounds like a throw parts at it response to some simple minor glitch

Reliability is solid

Yeah, what he said ^^^. Mine is a 2016, I replaced the battery a couple months ago.. Modern batteries seem to really suck, and they have more drain on them with modern vehicles.. I don't do short trips either, so it's not like the battery doesn't get recharged after each start.

The Expedition is solid, with a proven suspension and powertrain.

Nice job finding a 2015 with that low of miles!

That's a hard-to-find truck, so unless you paid a small fortune, you did good. The '15 is a tried-and-true piece of American know-how, and should serve you well. Welcome to the family.

Thanks all! Picked her up today and realized it actually had only 31k miles, not 35k. Even better, it was leased by the finance guy manager at the dealership that we bought it from. It’s in amazing condition and drives like a dream. Here’s a quick pic...

CONGRATS!! We bought the '16 Limited in the same exact color a few weeks ago. Ours had about double the miles. We are very happy with our purchase. Added WeatherTech floor mats to front and middle row and added the rock/bug guard to the front.

Outstanding!

From what I've read on the forum and from other sources it may be a good idea to install a catch-can to the motor. Helps to keep carbon from building up on the valves.
