 About This 2009 Honda Pilot EX-L At 185,190 miles, this Pilot is a high-mileage vehicle — and that's worth being upfront about. But here's what matters: the Honda Pilot's 3.5L V6 VTEC engine is widely documented to run well past 200,000 miles when properly maintained. Buyers who prioritize low price over low miles will find this a compelling option, especially given how well these trucks hold up mechanically. This is a gray-exterior EX-L trim, which sits near the top of Honda's 2009 Pilot lineup and comes loaded with features that still feel relevant today. If you're looking for a used Honda Pilot in Lakewood, Jefferson County, this one deserves a thorough inspection and a test drive.
 2009 Honda Pilot Performance and Engine3.5L V6 VTEC Power The 2009 Honda Pilot is powered by a 3.5-liter VTEC V6 engine producing 244 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a smooth 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, this powertrain delivers confident acceleration whether you're merging onto I-70, climbing into the foothills west of Lakewood, or loading up for a weekend trip into the mountains.
 4WD Capability This Pilot is equipped with Honda's Variable Torque Management 4WD system, which automatically distributes torque to the rear wheels when front-wheel slip is detected. For Colorado drivers who deal with snow-packed roads through Jefferson County and beyond, this system adds genuine peace of mind without the complexity of a traditional four-wheel-drive setup. It's not a hardcore off-road system, but for Rocky Mountain winters and light trail use, it handles the job well.
 Honda Pilot EX-L Features and Interior The EX-L trim level on the 2009 Pilot brings a notably upgraded interior experience over base models. Expect leather-trimmed seating for up to eight passengers across three rows, a heated front seats feature that Colorado winters make immediately useful, and a power moonroof. The EX-L also includes a power driver's seat, automatic climate control, and Honda's third-row seat that folds flat to create a cargo area large enough for serious hauling.

On the technology side, this generation Pilot includes a USB-compatible audio system, a multi-information display, and steering-wheel-mounted controls. While it predates modern touchscreen infotainment, the layout is intuitive and functional. Rear passengers benefit from genuine legroom across all three rows — a feature that parents with growing kids consistently praise in owner reviews of this generation Pilot.
 Honda Pilot Reliability and Ownership The 2009 Honda Pilot has earned a strong reputation among long-term owners. Consumer satisfaction data and owner forums consistently highlight the engine's longevity, the transmission's smooth operation, and the body's resistance to major structural issues. Common maintenance items to watch on this generation include timing belt service (due around 105,000 miles — worth confirming history on this vehicle), VCM-related oil consumption on some units, and routine transmission fluid changes.

At this mileage, a pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic is strongly recommended. The good news is that parts availability for this era of Pilot is excellent, and labor costs are generally reasonable. Owners who stay current on maintenance routinely report crossing the 250,000-mile mark without major mechanical failures. For buyers in Lakewood and t
