Not to get off topic, but I've been a Honda Dealer Mechanic for 8 years and the only service you have to do to a rear diff on any Honda is change the fluid. Drain and refill every 15,000-30,000 miles. If you start getting noise from it, you just have to change the fluid and drive it around...

How much stuff are you wanting to put in the underfloor storage of the Pilot? The storage isn't really all that big. It's big enough to fit the 3 headrests from the 3rd row seat in there and that's about it. If all you're putting in there are towels, that should be fine, but other, bigger...

So I'm new here too. The wife and I are looking at a 2011 4x2 Limited with Nav, running boards, rear slide out tray (I think), etc..... They are giving me a price of $42,522. Then I said no way, they knocked it down to $40,890. So that's where they are wanting to start from. I've got a...
