What’s the Best 2022 Honda Pilot Trim? Here’s Our Guide Although the current-generation Pilot is nearing the end of its lifecycle, the Honda remains a competitive player in the three-row SUV category. A spacious interior and strong acceleration will keep this SUV at the top of many shopping lists, but which trim level is the best? For the 2022 model year, Honda is revising the Pilot’s trim structure, replacing the LX and EX trims with a new entry-level trim that has yet to be detailed. Check out our trim guide below to find out which Pilot may be right for you, and see pricing by trim at the end. To see all the pros and cons for each trim, CLICK HERE.

How Potholes Can Damage Your Car TIRES Hitting a pothole can be jarring to your tires. And if the force is great enough, the sudden shift of air inside the tire can cause the sidewall to blow out. If the impact has caused your tire to lose air, the vehicle’s Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) light will immediately go on. But even if the tire is holding air, that doesn’t mean you’re in the clear. Look for any bulges sticking out of the side. They could be a sign of internal damage, which means you’re probably going to need to replace the tire. Most of the time the damage isn’t to the tread, it’s to the sidewall. And unfortunately, there’s no way to patch or plug a sidewall.

WHEELS The hard angles of a pothole can also cause serious damage to your wheels. The first thing to look for are bends or cracks in the side of the wheel, where the rim meets the tire. If a wheel is bent, it won’t roll smoothly. Also, the airtight seal between the tire and the wheel could be compromised. Sometimes you can see where pieces have broken off and the wheel is dented in. If there is visible damage, the wheel will most likely need to be replaced.

SUSPENSION & STEERING If you notice your car pulling to the right or the left, the pothole might have bent one or more suspension or steering components out of alignment. Not only will that cause handling problems, but if you just had to spring for a brand-new tire, a misaligned suspension will cause it to wear unevenly—and wear out prematurely. In that case, get your alignment checked.
