EX-L compared to Yukon SLT - Honda Pilot

ex-Yukon owner · 10-19-2010, 10:39 PM

Just bought a 2004 EX-L and overall am pleased with it. It has most of the features that my Yukon SLT had with exception of day/night mirror that had compass and outside temperture. Biggest difference is that the 2nd row seats do not fold flat as Yukon did. That is a major flaw to me. Although they do fold forward they rest on the seat bottom and have a slight upward angle. Yukon has a much better design. Also Yukon had excellent cup holder in dash that fit flush when not used and swung out to make two cup holders as well as a cup holder that you could swing out from back of center console. And the 12 v receptacles do not have power unless key is turned on so every time you shut off engine your cell phone stops charging or gps has no 12 v power.

Yep, they are vastly different vehicles, but I think you've made a good choice - particularly if you don't need the more truck-like capabilities of the Yukon. The Pilot is a great people-hauler, with some nice utility to it. Welcome aboard!
