Only time will tell, but the ZF 9-speed currently used in the Ridgeline may prove to be the better/more reliable transmission. At any rate, it is well-proven with a long track record, unlike Honda’s in-house 10-speed.

Honda’s last in-house transmission (6-speed) had such poor reliability in the Ridgeline and other models that they stopped using it. That’s where the out-sourced ZF 9-speed came from.

Whose would you bet on?

The reviews of the Pilot with the new Twin Cam engine and Ten Speed is they are slower than the single cam engine/ 9 speed we have! The Pilot engine is designed like a BMW with the valve covers holding the cams in place, total garbage!
