Highlander Vs. Pilot: Which 2017 3-Row SUV Should You Buy? - Cars.com
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- Like the Red Sox and Yankees, Coke and Pepsi, and McDonald's and Burger King, the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot are the fiercest of competitors. We spent a week testing these SUVs, and we're gonna tell you which you should spend your money on. The 2017 Pilot and 2017 Highlander we tested were surprisingly similar: They each earned the same top safety scores from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety; they both had the same fuel economy at 22 mpg combined, and the price was just $144 different.

I own both these cars a 2017 Highlander Limited and a 2017 Pilot Elite. They both have their ups and downs but my personal favorite is the Pilot
The Highlander offers better fuel economy and better styling but some materials inside feel cheap and the infotainment feels out dated and aftermarket like also no CarPlay
The Pilot has a smoother ride and noise levels are quieter, but the nine speed button shifter is awful sometimes it doesn’t shift in the right gear u have to click it a few times and the auto start system is annoying and very noticeable. Also the lack of volume and tuning knobs becomes frustrating when trying to yell at kids in the back
The Pilot has more of the Family Friendly features over the Highlander. Overall they are both great choices but my favorite out of the 2 would be the Pilot for its practical third row and more features. Hope this helps anyone!
Rob S I asked for this on a different comment section but now i see thank you for sharing.
Rosemary Fabian Hello here’s my update:
Rosemary Fabian The Highlander was totaled in a crash, but we still have our Pilot. I love it and I haven’t had any problems with it yet so it’s a great buy
Rob S thanks
shmbbrkr actually I still have my 2006 Honda Odyssey Touring van and it has never ever failed me once. I never ever brought it to the dealer for an unexpected visit. It never broke it kept running! She still runs beautifully. However, my 03 Camry I sold 2 years ago the trans failed and they totaled the car for some odd reason so I’m not too sure if Toyota is the place to be
Exactly the opposite of a couple of other reviews I have seen. As with any vehicle, buy what fits your need & taste. The Highlander was the vehicle that looked much better and had the best driver comfort, ride & performance, so I bought it because I really didn't want/need a third row anyway. Would have eliminated it if I could have. Put it down, leave it down & you have plenty of cargo room & a fantastic vehicle.
All these Toyota fans are crying cause they didn’t beat a Pilot.. just go with the car you love and dont listen to other or the critics bout ur car..
LMAO
Recommendation should include 'Reliability' as a category. Honda's are solid made vehicles but beating a toyota in reliability is unheard of.
Great comment
1-Highlander
2-Highlander
3-Highlander
Honda pilot Honda pilot Honda pilot 😂👈
Ex-muslim Atheist Rebel yes🥳
The Highlander looks much nicer. Only wish they made it a little bigger.
Yeah, it's just to cramped....
Buy a sequoia
Looks cheap and outdated
That’s why you get a Sienna, 3rd row crossovers have no space
The pilot looks like a mini van. I prefer the highlander instead.
I just bought a 2019 Toyota Highlander XLE and I really like the vehicle
Most people don't even remember the shape/design of the car in which they are moving.
What matters most to me is the handling, fuel economy, durability, and power of the engine.
No need for extra features that are rarely used.
exactly
Toyota's reliability alone makes it better !!
..Honda is also reliable..
@@bodiejarvis It's all relative.
I owned Honda's for years, got a toyota a couple years back, I wish I never did! Toyota is outdated, cheap materials and cheap parts, a lot of road noise, not nearly as comfortable as a Honda. The glass all around seems thin and cheap, windshield cracks very easy, other people I know have their windshield cracked also. Toyota needs to step it up, their cars are outdated and garbage.
Who Cares About Reliability
Reliability would be a factor if you were comparing Toyota vs GMC/Chevy, Dodge, or Ford. Honda, Toyota and Mazda are all up there in terms of reliability. Nissan is coming in a strong 4th place and then everyone else including European automakers.
Well ,we’ll, the dude in the video declared the pilot the big winner, but the people in the comments prefer the highlander!!! SO THE OFICIAL WINER IS THE TOYOTA HIGHLANDER FOR BETTER LOOK AND STRONGER ENGINE!!!!
Yet the highlander/kluger is the better option. No suv will ever beat the highlanders reliability. Doesn’t matter how much tech and design inside and out of any SUV’s, in the end of the day the highlander/kluger will the last man standing. That’s why highlander/kluger will always be on top. Then again each to their own. 👍 happy cruising.
They need to start testing trim that parents would buy rather top trim.
people usually go for the highest trim levels, for some reason people have the need to have the best
All the suvs I see lately seem to be base or middle trims not necessarily highest top trims. At any rate is it good for strictly speaking on the exterior most trims look the same?
IAmReal_LSV like the se
I bought a Highlander Limited and Pilot Elite and I’m not even wealthy
smile cute buick enclave 2018
These people were trying to be non biased but it seemed like Honda was paying them or something😂
The Toyota Highlander looks more aggressive. Here in Texas I see many more Highlanders than pilots. Honda styling is weird. It does look like a minivan where the Highlander looks like an SUV. Toyota all the way.
ELPJM09 toyotaxi and it’s dinosaur technology. Overrated crap
Ady N Toyota as a Taxi is good. They are reliable and most cab drivers know this. Toyota technology is proven and reliable unlike the rest. You probably drive a Kia lol.
ELPJM09 delusional excuse.. first mistake you assume what and try to belittle me without knowing me. Stay with facts Delusional Tinfoil hat wearing toyoTAXI fanboy.

No further explanation needed- all u have to do is search and wonder why there is a dedicated website.
Toyotaxi fanboys- smh
Ady N You Make no sense lol. Just another Toyota hater who can't find concrete facts to backup their excuses.
ELPJM09 it’s pointless and a waste of time to show facts to a deluded toyoTAXI fanboy like you. You can’t even show facts to back up that they buy it as taxi because it’s reliable. Now go back to your garage and ride along with your ghetto Toyotaxi fanboys with it’s dinosaur technology. That’s right they pretend that have autopilot program halted while in fact they don’t even have one, not even their pretentious toyoTAXI lexus don’t have it.

Deal with it
So the Highlander wins in front seats comfort, powertrain performance, it also looks better.. it sacrifices some back room because of smaller size, which is actually desirable for many who also drive it in the city... I would say it's the clear winner.
The highlander exterior looks better and it right better. If I were to buy the SUV for my self why would I be in the 3rd road. The third road is for kids, not adult.
we use the third row for naps on long trips. with the middle seats being captain chairs you can slide back and get cozy.
my wife works for southeast toyota distributors in commerce ga so she is around the highlander all the time and knows the inside and out of it but she drives a 2004 honda pilot and she said she would rather have the pilot simply because of the seats you can have 3rd row seating and it has more room than highlander even tho it has 3rd row seating too...she pilot just has more room and i agree with her!
He's gonna TELL YOU
Which one to spend YOUR MONEY on
....much appreciated
I'm looking into getting a used Honda Pilot. Love how it rides! My daughter has one.
The Toyota Highlander has a better (because it more traditional) dashboard layout and controls .. but the Highlander needs a higher roof.. Needs to be taller (by about 2 inches) which would give the Highlander more headroom making it more comfortable (with better visibility). The Pilot has a bad dashboard/controls (because its not traditional), but it is larger and taller, which is more comfortable. Oh, and Honda get rid of the push button shifter and go back to a good old regular traditional shifter.
I just bought a highlander le with convenience package. It is just excellent
I liked both of these but bought the Highlander. I wonder about a bias free evaluation here. When talking about how "difficult" it is to access the 3rd row in the Toyota they do not show the seat folding forward as they did on the Pilot. Was this unintentional or were there scenes that tried to show the Highlander in a bad light?
I think you hit the nail on the head... the real question is why they didnt have a category for 'Reliability' in there?!
I own pilot 2013 . Still good car for me . Next one , I will try highlander Toyota
I always consider Toyotas for my vehicle but I end up buying Hondas! Though both are great vehicles, there is some small refinements in Honda which tools tilts the decision in it's favor!
Three row crossovers.
1.Highlander
2.Pilot
3.Pathfinder
4.Explorer
T5.Sorento
T5.CX-9
T5.SantaFe
T6.Durango
T6.Traverse
T6.Atlas
T6.Grand Cherokee
Jank Paul The Jeep Grand Cherokee isn’t a 3 row suv that is a 2 row premium suv the suv coming in a few years the Grand Wagoner is a 3 row suv
Jank Paul Atlas and Traverse are waaaayyy better than pathfinder, pathfinder is the worst...explorer isn’t good either
and now the Subaru Ascent
I agree
Your list is wrong.
This review is completely for Honda pilot. Toyota highlander is better than pilot
There bn ks mo comparison with toyota makes vechle with any manufacturer vechle
I drove 2 highlander in nyc taxi and uber
Did not spend any maintainsce much except changing oil brakes car wash
Long lasting vechile drive 6days week rough driving
One time I went bbn over dividerbisland without knowing, next day check with mechanic nothing happened
The best mid size SUV I have ever driven with little maintainsce bis toyota highlander.
Good luck
NYC
I don’t understand the typical car consumer..why are people complaining about things like “Toyota hasn’t updated, they are behind with features, etc.”..when the cars that are “with the times” are absolute trash?? I mean, a slipping tranny on a NEW car?? Burning oil on newer model Honda’s?? Wtf
Doesn’t the longevity and mechanical performance mean anything to people when they spend 30k+ on a vehicle?
I know the answer is no lol I’m just ranting
Highlander
Wade Higgins pilot Touring
Highlander.
I’m a massive Toyota fan
Obviously get the.m highlander
Not a massive fan of Honda so I’d rather get the Highlander
Cargo space,3rd row comfort,Acceleration , real world fuel economy and quietness goes to Honda...Maybe Toyota looks better where the pilot looks like a mini van...Reliability maybe Toyota have edge but resale value about same.If you will carry 6-8 people (adults) and want better AWD system that works(watch TFL :Pilot vs Highlander off road review) Honda is hands down Winner!
We test drove both, but ended up getting the highlander. We just couldn't get used to the button gears shifts.
And we are averaging 23 mpg on the highlander.
I'm a huge Toyota fan. However, for the parameters tested (mainly space for 7 passengers and cargo) he's right, the Honda does better.
I have driven all trims of both vehicles and chose the Highlander, because it is easier to drive. The Pilot Touring had a 9 speed transmission that resisted acceleration. The 6 speed in the Pilot EX was not too much better, but the sound system was way worse than Touring's. I ultimately went with Highlander Hybrid XLE. The torque delivery from the hybrid powertrain is buttery smooth both in the city and on highways. That's my recommendation.
If you need the extra seating room, then Pilot is your vehicle. It drives like a minivan without looking like one. It's a good choice for families.
Mightz Of Glory did you have Econ mode in the on position when you drove the Pilot? If it's off the Pilot is very quick and responsive. The difference is night and day. If econ mode is on, there's a hesitation at take off then feels like you're towing something. That's what you experienced. Econ is for better mpg in case you didn't know. Good luck on the Highlander. It was my first choice until I got into the 3rd row or even the driver seat. The Pilot is huge in comparison and eventually settled for the Touring model. The 9spd is buttery smooth and no issue in 13 months of ownership.
@@squidusn71 hey I'm looking at buying a used 16' pilot with the 9sp with 77k miles. How has the pilot held up for you?
@everbeenzen We still have it and drive the same since it's new. It's now 6+ yrs old with the factory battery still in it. The 9 speed is more reliable than the 6 speed, but it's more expensive to maintain. The only repair I've done was the brakes.
My advice is to make sure that the 9 speed transmission has been serviced. I believe its first scheduled service was at 50 or 60k miles. It isn't a DYI service because a tech has to monitor fluid temp for a proper fluid level since it doesn't have a dip stick. The OEM rotors are trash, so stay away from them and get the best that you can get at your local parts store with matching pads in case it needs changing. If it was serviced properly, I don't foresee any issue for another 70k miles.
@@squidusn71 thank you for replying that helps alot. I was pretty hesitant because when test driving it seems 1st gear is geared really low and it doesn't switch as fast at I'd like to 2nd, you can really feel it although I don't think I let the transmission warm up enough.
You might be right but I buy used and they are both good for my needs. If one or the other comes up with low miles at a reasonable price I will be happy.
Pilot all the way!!! Always been a Honda fan.
Consumer Reports: Highlander 85. Pilot 73. Need we say more?
Doesn't matter Consumer Reports Toyotas number one
For 2019 Subaru Ascent is no 1.....no 2 Highlander Hybrid.....no 3 Highlander XLE.
Fast food restaurants:
1. Wendy's
2. Everything else
Wendy’s only if you like mushy bloody type burgers 👎🏻
+Carson Redford tasteless trash
Whataburger rules. Get the entry, the meal costs too much.
Senior drink is free.
Any size water is free.
i would go for both because it looks good and i would want to know the features and horse powers of both suvs and i suggest them to show the top speed of both and engine specifications
I wonder how much did Honda payed cars to advertised there vehicle as being the better buy value. I mean it comes down to preference and I driven both and enjoy the highlander better as it feels more aggressive and powerful vs the pilot.
I went with the Highlander for three specific reasons:
1. Better Exterior Styling.
2. Reliability of Toyota is narrowly superior to Honda.
3. That stupid push button transmission on the Pilot is ridiculous.
I’ve had my car since 2009. I haven’t experienced the luxuries that are in the newer cars these days (heated seats, backup camera, Apple Car play), aside from the occasional rental car. That being said, I like the Highlander. I don’t need a push button transmission, nor would I want one. Also I may be one of the few that would say this, but I don’t like Apple Car Play. Just give me Bluetooth and I’m good. Those heated seats though....🙌🏾
Well I’m a huge fan of Hondas,Toyotas,jeeps
I love people who is asking for apple car play and android auto, you won’t know who is watching you
Pilot wins!
I'm likely in the minority but I can forgive the highlander (sort of) for not having carplay/auto. I cannot forgive the pilot for that ZF 9-Speed. Its awful. The accord and odyssey have the 10-speed as an option. Honda needs to ramp up production of the 10 speed and ditch that ZF unit.
mazermadness I agree the only reason I use infotainment is for music and radio as long as it can do that it’s good enough for me. That gear box though 🤮
😂😂😂
I went with the Highlander for reliability and like longevity.
The Honda appears to me more of a mini-van look than the highlander. Yeah, it's not that much more attractive, but enough to my eyes. I prefer the highlander over the Pilot but know that's very subjective as well.
Just bought a 2020 pilot !
My wife and I went and looked at Pilots. Thought they looked ok from the outside. Wife took one look inside and saw the low slung center console and thin armrests and that was all it took. She didn't even care to open the door or drive it. We're on our second Highlander now, been good family cars. To be honest, they are a 5 seater with a few extra spots in a pinch. The third row is not very functional for anyone older than ten.
turbolq4 toyoTAXi with dinosaur technology
turbolq4 Well you guys missed out on a lot then
The Lost long center console is exactly why I like the pilot. I feel like I'm in a cage in the Toyota. I guess there's no accounting for taste. They are very similar vehicles, it's just that everyone knows the pilot is way better. ; P
Good call!
Our Pilot is a NIGHTMARE!
😤😭
Seriously worst car ever.
turbolq4 highlighter 3rd row is a gimmick
well, thats not how you access to the third row on highlander at 4:20. lol. toyota aint stupid to make that small access.
LMAOOOO SO TRUE!
thanks for pointing out, so true
yeah
Just last week i visited a local Honda dealer and i was appalled by Hondas built quality. Panel gaps are ridiculous and inconsistent. The front passenger door had a problem that was causing it to rub against the fender when opening and the paint already started coming off in that spot. Also the paint was very weak and brittle, i was able to scratch it with a fingernail. I know this isn't indicative of the built quality and reliability and some may consider it cosmetic but i think i'll drive my first-gen Pilot till the wheels fall off and then get a Lexus or a Highlander.
I would go with Honda Pilot, I currently hav the 2011 Honda Pilot.
Careful. This vehicle has changed drastically, especially in the way it drives. The power delivery is not the same. Take it for a long test drive before you make up your mind. Also check the sound system if you go with the lower trims. The sound is tinny.
Mightz Of Glory I have a bad experience with Honda pilot with electric system, which fuse blow when weather change.
Honda Pilot looks ugly.
Old pilots looked way better. They should of stuck with the boxy look
2:19 in the pilot: no person in 3rd row seat. :(
4:10 in the highlander: person sat in 3rd row seat.
Amelia Andes It’s cause the Pilot 3rd was good for the judges, but Highlander wasn’t so they showed the Judge.
Toyota has gotten lazy and refused to update their lineup besides the Camry and the Prius shame on you Toyota
Honda all day is more Fancy looking than the highlander with the years Toyota cars get fucking harddd bro. Been there done that.
Honda Pilot for the win. I’ve worked for Toyota as a tech. Toyota has front cover leaks, which sucks and a headache. So I would put the Honda Pilot up on top. I have a Honda Pilot and I haven’t had any issues.
Hi, which Pilot do you have? Year? Transmission?
I want to buy me one and getting inform about it does help to take a best decision.
Thanks!
@@scarletp6971 I still have my 07 Honda Pilot with 250k miles. I would like to buy the newer style Pilot , I believe it has the same engine still.
Pilot is better because its bigger , you should've compared it to the 4runner . Maybe honda is sponsering you
Higlander👍
The upper trim Pilot as tested has the ZF 9spd transmission. Avoid it. Does the lower trim Pilot with 6spd transmission have access to the optional Safety equipment? Dealing with the Pilot 9spd on a daily basis is a no go. Recommend anyone considering the upper trim Honda Pilot take an 8hr test drive or rent one for the day. Check nhtsa, Edmunds and other customer reviews on the Honda Pilot 9spd. Include Acura and Jeep Cherokee equipped with the transmission. Not one person or professional reviewer will state its best in class.
wcjeep yes, the Ex-L with honda sensing package gives you the safety features
Have you not heard about the update to the 9spd quite some time ago which resolved the issue with gear hunting? I have not heard about any issues from legitimate consumers with the updated 9spd computer. I test drove one a couple weeks back and didn't notice a problem. My friend has an Elite with over 30,000 miles and no concerns yet. They love it!
Grant Butler no amount of lipstick makes a pig pretty. Avoid the ZF 9spd transmission. It's problematic in every vehicle it's installed. I checked on the 2017 Pilot. There are nhtsa complaints. Also found complaints elsewhere. While you may be lucky with your unit. Doesn't mean everyone will. Honda sells a different Pilot with reliable transmission. Why take the risk? Get the reliable one. Skip the ZF 9spd transmission. Google it. Lots of info on it.
Agreed..... suffering its 9 speeds in Canada, now Honda Canada extends warranty for 9 speeds to ten years. Horrible!
The refresh for the pilot should feature a better multimedia system with better user experience, physical buttons and knobs, HondaSense standard,310 horsepower v6 with 10 speed automatic transmission on touring and elite trims, 8 speed dual clutch automatic transmission on lower trims, nicer interior with more use of high quality materials and design especially on the elite trim, more standard equipment on lower trims, more premium features, wide screen rear seat entertainment system, dual sunroof available on the touring trim, and a less overdone front and rear end styling.
Please look for information in the correct places. The vehicles to use in the city are enough 4-cylinder and to travel long distances on motorways the best are large engines. To finish, by study of consumer report the Higlander the most appreciated by its owners.
Pilot SUCKS !!! They test drive city at 20mph & Highway at 48 mph !!!!
Biggest car regret of my life ? 2017 Pilot.
Multiple issues. Buyer Beware.
honda pilot in india is amazing
The pilot has the comfy seats and good engines. Smooth ride. Pilot is better.
Did I miss the acceleration test they promised?
Highlander by far. Honda does not stand behind their products.
Both good, but price is going to Pilot
I don’t know why people comparing oranges vs great fruits. Those are 2 diff size SUV. Yeah they all have 3rows and there’re suv. But what they all have 4 wheels and 5 doors. Not a fair fight.
My opinion I don't like the design of the Highlander bumper and radiator grill. Even the 2014-2015 versions look much better. It should stay a little bit classy(like the old highlander) on some design elements. Otherwise some new design elements are like the flavor of a bubble gum which doesn't last long enough and starts to be boring few years later, just like a cheap perfume. Also I like more the Pilot's central dashboard design, I think that Pilot's design will not look "wilted" over time if you'll drive it for more than 5 years.
I started looking for a Pilot because I like more the overall design which is not perfect but looks good. Highlander looks smaller and the Pilot cargo space with the 3rd row in place is bigger than on the Highlander.
From a Toyota owner.
Which one has best predicted reliability? Why does pilot require awd to tow over 3,500 lbs?
Pilot
Durango rt or even the srt. Badass family suv
I asked a mechanic with 32 years experience which SUV to buy. Without hesitation he said get a Toyota. I asked why. He said because he hardly ever works on one.
FAKE NEWS,,!!!!! @ 4:15 you complain about access to theirs row on highlander but didn't hit the lever to retract seat forward and fold. You simply pulled the seat forward. Also the limited has captains seats in second row with collapsible table between for easy access to third row.
Don't you love these bias reviews? Let the people speak . Toyota safety is far more superior than Honda. Comfort . Design . Reliability. Safety . Resale value . Should I go on ?
Don’t bother buying a Honda Pilot. My pilot steering wheel leather started to peel at one corner and seat belt cover became loose at the holding clip. Dealership said all repair now must be approved by regional Honda rep and guess what they denied the warranty. Honda rep said steering wheel is a normal wear but my car barely has 30,000 miles. The seat belt cover they claimed we must have removed it and broken it when putting back together. I seriously don’t know where Honda came up with all the excuses. Do a search on the internet before you make a decision. Especially when a car manufacturer won’t stand behind their warranty.
5:02 tho
Lol Funny because Consumer reports says that the most satisfied customers are Highlander customers & judging from sales I would take their recommendation over this guy any day.
Do your own research on these vehicles & judge for yourself.The hybrid highlander as well has won numerous awards & best in its category as well.This guy probably just likes the brand Honda.
Smooth Operator, he's not the only one saying that. There are many reasons why the Pilot is the better choice for some. For me, having adults being able to sit in the third row, better awd and android auto support are important reasons why I'm leaning more for the pilot.
Felipe Molina I respect your choice & most of all your reason.
I've never seen an online review that wasn't blatantly biased against toyota generally speaking, Lexus included. I sell Toyotas and we sell more Highlanders than anything else, so there's that.
Hershey Go back to playing your video games kid,this is for grown folks who could actually afford these vehicles.
Having sold many highlanders, and having recently traded for a 2017 Pilot, I have to say, I agree that Toyota's entertainment system feels dated and old, but I do not care for Honda's push button shifting system, and the person I traded the vehicle from said Apple play was good, but it was slow and jumpy at times. Overall, the Honda seems bigger, but I like the exterior design of the Highlander better, and generally think Toyota's have the quietest cabin's and smoothest driving vehicles.
Thank you! ♥️
Sorry but the Highlander is bulletproof 👌🏼😎
The pilot is direct competition to the 4runner, isn't it?
This video brought to you by Honda
So pilot has more leg room and has android apple software so that's make it winner what a crap review with Toyota its all about built quality reliability.
Didn't even show the difference, only picking what they like better
Sorry gunna have to go with the highlander. And the sad part is that i like both toyota and honda, but the new honda looks super wierd, and the new highlander is just wayyyy better looking. Not to mention probably drives a bit better.
The narrator has has as much energy/enthusiasm as that monotone Clear eyes guy.
2A556FMJ 😂😂😂
Both of these cars are ugly. Honda you are not fooling anyone, the “new” Honda Pilot is Just a minivan pretending to be an “SUV”, (Honda bring back the beefy boxy design we all love) We absolutely hate the “redesign” Honda should’ve kept the old boxy look and just improved the trim and electronics, We would have preferred better engine architecture (more horsepower and gas mileage) over the “redesign”.
Stop complaining about the Highlander being smaller than the Pilot! Some people don’t want a huge monstrosity of a crossover!!!!!
Jacob shreve
Lmao its a 3rd row suv its not a crossover 3rd row means monstrosity
Joe Landes they are both crossovers. Even the Traverse (one of the largest in the segment) is a crossover. An SUV is vehicle with a body on frame construction, such as a Tahoe. They are real trucks. The Pilot, Highlander, Traverse, Explorer, etc are not trucks. They are built with a unibody construction, or in other words, they are just large and tall sedans.
Jacob shreve some of us need the huge space but don't want to opt for the minivan so it's a great thing to point out. I saw the highlander limited today and I'm not impressed mostly because of the HUGE lack of space on the 3rd row and even storage. There's just no space at all.
Jacob lets put it this way, if you don't want monstrosity, should of just go with say CRV or RAV4. If you are looking at midsize 3 row crossover, it means you need the space, just accept it, Highlander just flat out sucks in space and failed. All car manufacturers make mistakes, although this is a major flaw for a 3 row crossover to have.
Jacob Shreve yes we do. We want a real car not a gimmick
I have a 04 pilot and a 06 highlander and the pilot is superior in everything. I can only wonder how they compare today.
Totally agree the older model pilots are awesome. New ones are cheap builds in my opinion. Toyota definitely makes a more solid suv.
I just got a Pilot over the highlander for many of the reason you guys cited on this video!
I like the two but if you have a baby in the pilot the gears
Subaru Accent is going to be a contender soon.
Sadly, the reliability and customer satisfaction aren't there. I ended up buying a Highlander because of it, though I wanted an Ascent.
Pls i want used highlander 2017
Pilot is good but unfortunately still have the timing belt. I was surprised rather disappointed to find that.
I would never buy a car with that garbage 9 speed auto transmission. Fully loaded Highlander versus the fully loaded Pilot I’d go Highlander. Realistically, I’d go Pilot EX-L for the 6 speed auto.
Pilot is better!
Highlander is MUCH better
the pilot has a transmission problem ....
