I guess you'll like a 55 inch screen and a bathroom
I just watched your 2 week review of the 2024 Honda Pilot Elite. Was a little surprised with the 55.4 Dba on the test ride in KY. Noticed that the shade for the Panoramic Sunroof was open at the time. I also notice a much quieter ride in my SUV when that shade is closed. Might be worth a retest?
Best overall vehicle test video I’ve seen. I just bought a 2025 Honda Pilot Elite. The 2024 and 2025 appear to be identical in every respect. Best SUV I’ve ever owned.
Thanks for the great video.
Out of all the vehicles I test drove, the Honda Pilot Trailsport got my heart immediately. I was ultimately between this and the 4Runner and decided to settle for the Pilot instead because the 4Runner was too slow and outdated for me (its infotainment screen kept lagging).
The Pilot sits high up with A LOT of visibility, drives so lightly/smoothly, is spacious with the usability of a minivan, and has a naturally aspirated V6. It went over cracks and gravel on the road like nothing.
Not to mention the high resale value with 55% after 5 years. Honda really knows how to tune their I-VRTM transmission because the drive train was incredible.
4Runner is only good for off-roading. Daily driver a Pilot is so much better. Plus AWD is much better than 4WD.
On the highway in blizzards, you should not keep a 4WD locked on for long periods of time. It’s not good for system. You need to keep it in 2WD. Lots of people complain about it.
AWD, you just drive it through all tough conditions with ease and no drawbacks.
Plus frame vehicles are not as sturdy. They also rust a lot more areas. Unibody is more rigid and won’t rust as bad. No frames to rust.
@@ryanb8736 Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree with all of this. The reason why the Honda Pilot was so good for me was the daily driving factor. The 4Runner is legendary but I don't even off-road; even if I do, I will bring the 4Runner to the shop regularly regardless if it's "built for off-roading".
The all wheel drive on the elite, is constantly working on turns, up hills, wet or slippery roads, you don't even notice all the work only if you use the on board 4wd live screen. That's the main reason I have an elite
@@felicelgato59 Gotcha! How are you liking it so far? Do you think the Trailsport is necessary for snow and camping, or is the Elite more than enough? The Trailsport does have higher ground clearance of 8.3 inches.
What about the in-cabin decibels at 70+ MPH? 55 MPH is ok, but most vehicles are relatively quiet at surface street speeds. Where the problem comes in is how loud are they at interstate speeds, where you are likely to spend longer times exposed to the noise on road trips. Would be super helpful if you could provide those decibel levels.
and try to replicate the conditions a little better, by turning OFF the HVAC (not by putting the fan speed on 1 and then inadvertently holding the mic in front the vent) id personally hold the mic over the seating position since nobody has their heads where you take your samples.
We bought a white Elite with the brown interior and we LOVE it. Especially with the brown interior, it feels luxury. The screen is slightly small/outdated but it looks much better in person than it does in pictures.
I am leaning toward a brown interior too...glad to hear you like it!
I have a grey with black piping. The screen size is plenty. It's not the size but what is packed in the package.
Gv70 has a big screen but displays is small.
@@njt7117 I’d definitely go see it in person. You’ll see what I mean once you sit inside of one.
@njt7117 I'm planning on getting 2024 Pilot Elite Modern Steel Metallic with Brown interior.
Have the black Elite. Agree with you on the screen - specs make it seem outdated, but when you see it in person its actually nice. Overall really like it. Excellent family SUV.
Just bought my NEW HONDA PILOT TOURING 4.9APR😍 better to see it in person.. very comfortable especially for my wife❤️
I own a pilot and a merc gls, ive also owned a palisade and pacifica, i can guarantee nothing beats a pilot, its the most convenient and family suitable car for our kids long road trips, just the large drink holders in the 'DOORS' is worth the price if you understand what i mean, and the removable middle seat in the back is an unmatched feature
I owe a merc amg gls and my wife wants to sell it to get a pilot. Is the pilot really better for road trips?
Honda did good with this one. Looks better. Glad they kept a V6.
Me too! And they built an all new unit specifically for the new pilot! Nice! No V-Tech though....still smooth and refined! Especially when compared to the Highlanders turbo 4. I just am not a fan of the rear end. At all.
Lowkey looks like a Durango.
I have a 2012 Pilot EX gen2 I bought new. Has 148K on it and still love it. Will drive it until the wheels fall off.
2012 Touring. Going strong at 210k
I kind of look at the Honda Pilot (and all Hondas) like iPhones. They generally evolve very slowly. Sometime they will leap ahead of everyone else, put then again they will lag behind in certain features until they are sure they have the best version of it.
But like iPhones, they are very reliable and hold their value better than anyone else. As an example my 2020 Pilot EXL leased ended a couple of months ago. The buyout was about $21,000 (I put ZERO down on my lease at the time I got it and the dealer took off $5,000 - so the lease price was $38,500). I had only 32K miles on it. When I did the buyout load at my credit union they valued it $34,000! $13,000 over what my purchase price was and only $4,500 below what I leased it for 39 months later!
I doubt any very few other makes could hold their value like that!
iphones are premium ... poor analogy.
@@DGG-ob5by I have always had iPhones, but I think now days I would say they are no more premium than the top-end Samsung and Google Pixal phones, price-wise at least (they are all expensive!) But I do get your point. I really meant that they both (Honda and Apple devices) are very reliable and keep their value better than other makes. And that they are similar in that they are slower to evolve, put then when the do bring in new features they are often better thought-out. Look how long it took Apple to bring something more than just a 12mp camera to the iPhone, but when they did - Wow! It is the only phone that is often used in actual movie productions for pick-up shots or even short features. I just would like to see Honda bring in a better infotainment system and larger screens because dollar-for-dollar they are losing to every other make right now.
I have the 2023 Pilot Elite and loved your thorough review! Will definitely use your website before the next car purchase!!!
Haven’t seen many of your videos, but they are very well done. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, we appreciate it!
Just bought my Pilot Elite sonic grey!!! Love it!! $4800 off sticker price.
I love it that y'all start off with the engine and transmission specs and give us an idea of how quiet the vehicle cabin is. May you add a nighttime driving portion on a straight road in the video, so we can see how the headlights perform at night?
Thanks! We have a Night Review of this Pilot on the channel which does a little headlight demo
Love the donut test in the center glove box. You Two Brothers do a much more in-depth review of vehicle features then other You Tube Auto Reviews! Great Job! Would love to see a Ivory / Beige / Camel color interior option on the EXL to Elite trims.
Thanks so much!
I test drove the Elite over the weekend and was surprised at how luxurious it was! My only hesitation with buying it is not having ceiling vents. My current suv doesn’t and it has the same location as the elite and they get so hot! I sat in the 3rd row and the air was barely blowing. Maybe I should have played around with the AC in the back more but I was disappointed they didn’t put it on the ceiling or at least in the pillar.
This is a mini van alternative, function trumps everything. I wouldn't expect the GTA generation to understand, all they want is a bigger screen.
I just purchased the 2024 Honda Pilot Elite. My former car was a 2009 Honda Pilot EXL. It's been a solid vehicle for many years and have had no regrets. I am tired of finding vehicles with turbos with 4 cylinders. I know those will be costly to work on in the future. Honda has had a solid reliable motor with their V6 ICE engine. It's just solid and was glad they still had it available. Much cheaper to work on folks. The room in this SUV is so impressive. I love all the storage areas that can't be beat by others out there IMO. I'm going to be using this for work and need all those nifty spots to put my work goodies into. I got a great deal and you can bargain with the warranty. Don't let any dealer tell you different. I have a lot to learn as I just purchased it today. I have much to learn.
Didn't know you can bargain the warranty. Do you mind sharing what warranty you got?
I purchased the highest warranty available for 8 years, 120k miles from Saccucci Honda for 1,417.00.. @momobytes:00
Which one between the 09 and 24 is quieter on the highway at 70mph?
@bLacksheep988 Oh, the elite pilot, with the double pane windows up front and 10 speed transmission, is quieter. But, the 09 is still good.
@@darynm cool thanks
Happy New Year!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I asked, and you delivered! I wanted to know the measurement from the back of the 2nd-row seats to the rear hatch, and you came through. Truly, I thank you.
We make note of good ideas when we hear them! 😁 Happy New Year!
Did you experience any of these issues during your time with the Pilot?
We just bought a 2024 Pilot and are very disappointed. The cabin climate system can’t keep up in the cold weather. The heated air on max only gets lukewarm and the lake area of the cabin stays cold no matter how high the heat is. We took it into the service center, and the head mechanic came out and felt the air and immediately looked at me and said yeah that’s very cool. When they tested it though, he said it was within range, and there was nothing else they could do.
The heated seats barely function. You have to keep them on for 20 minutes on full blast to even feel anything. If you have them on any setting below full blast, you can’t feel anything.
The average gas mileage is 17.1, and that’s with more than half of our 800 miles being driven on the highway.
The phone charger doesn’t actually charge the phone. It will keep the phone from losing charge, but it does not gain charge. In addition to that, it makes the phone very hot and because of that you can’t leave it on for long periods of time.
Add to that the electronic issues we’re having with it. The door locks don’t always open with the key fob, the lift-gate doesn’t always open, and the remote start doesn’t work about 30% of the time. We provided videos to the dealer and they won’t even return our calls. Thanks AutoNation.
This car is definitely not worth anything near the price, and it’s very disappointing that Honda is just shrugging their shoulders at all of it.
Thanks for taking the time to write this. Researching my next buy and I put more credence on people who have owned the vehicle than these quick reviews.
I'm still impressed especially target market, American labour costs drive up prices so high for a made in America for American vehicle, just like all other American made ho da/Acura products and most reviewers don't mention this. Still best American made brand.
First time watching "Car Confections" and I like you guys. Very thorough review. Thanks. Question for anyone: Is there a full size spare tire? And how are crash test results? Anyone have trouble getting into underground parking places because of the Pilot's height? Thanks in advance.
I think TrailSport trim only version gets Full-Size Spare Tire. The others get doughnut underneath vehicle.
I have had my 2024 Honda pilot elite for close to 3months now and the only big issue I have is it’s backup camera at night. You can barely see anything especially in dark streets which is a bummer considering it’s price.
Same problem, but I solved it with the Lasfit reverse LED👍🏻
You have a new follower! Will tell my husband about your very detailed car reviews! Love it! I like how you randomly bring out those rulers 🤣🤣
Thanks! Welcome to the Car Confections family!
The fuel economy is really the only thing I don't like about this SUV. Hopefully, Honda can bring some sort of hybrid system to this. In this class of vehicle, fuel economy is one of the things people look for.
No one wants hybrid junk
I second that, I am getting rid of my Lexus RX 500h to get the pilot. The hybrid system is shit
@@Ryan2022No, YOU don't want a hybrid. Fixed it for you.
@@gd2bking1 no one wants hybrid junk
@@Ryan2022 you're an idiot!
Wishing you the best in 2024. 🎉❤
Thanks and Happy New Year to you too!
Can you measure the height of cargo areas as well as the door opening so we know what can fit thru the rear door.
Lmao you guys always get me with the rear window drop in the intro 😂
My heart sunk 😂 into my stomach when Drew said 15 mpg in the city so far, i will keep my 2020 crv hybrid. It will drive me insane considering I'm getting 37 mpg combined
The Toyota Prius will better that by 20 mpg if MPG's really matter..................Paul
You don't buy a third row for fuel economy. You buy it because you need a third row
Thank you for this information
On your sound level chart you should also list the tire brands . Would be nice to know if that is a factor in sound levels .
I have a 2025 Pilot elite. Turning off the Bose Dynamic Speed Compensation, bass to 7 and turing ceneter point on made a big difference. Surround sound is amazing
Thank you for ya'll for a really great and informative video. I have a 2000 Honda Accord that has done me really well and then some but it is time to move on even though it still going after 330K miles. I truly didn't like the previous curve body style so I'm glad it's more boxy. Not crazy about push button shift and the truly overwhelming tech advances but Honda has done me too well to not go down the same path again. Also appreciated the buying guide that will be helpful as well.
Glad we could help 🙂
Great video of the Honda Pilot!! Great job guys!!
Thank you! 👍
I have a 2024 Elite with the rear cargo cover - when not in use, how do I store it ? I had a Hyundai Sante Fe that had this type of cover, but had a storage under the floor deck. Did Honda overlook this minor issue?
I ❤ your channel, I also like your 🍩 storage test, I'm Norton, i am 14 years old and I love cars, My favorite car brands are Toyota, Volkswagen, Lexus, Hyundai, Kia, Ford, Nissan, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Cadillac, Infiniti, Lincoln, Genesis, Mitsubishi, Honda, Acura, Mazda, & Subaru
A good mid size SUV, however competition is fierce for 2025 - I would like to see more convenience features for the top trim such as a rear view digital mirror, 3rd row power folding seats, massage chairs and super cruise.
I don't recall your mentioning anything regarding any side mirror/ blind spot warning system
I'm glad to see they brought back more of a box look. The past 5 to 6 years, it looked just like the Odyssey to me.
Good job guys ! very thorough walk thru of the Pilot.
Thank you!
I appreciate your reviews and am leaning toward replacing our 2015 Sequoia with a Pilot Elite. I have driven nearly every full size and large crossover and the Pilot has the best ride quality and uses the space better than other vehicles. I wanted to like the Grand Highlander but the ride was not great and I found it noisy and harsh over bumps.
Toyota has never been about quiet. Plus hybrid engines are noisy. V6 is so smooth in vehicles.
@@ryanb8736To be fair, neither has Honda. And this is coming from a 9 year honda owner. My 15",' Accord EX-L V6 Coupe is smooth and quiet but relatively speaking Honda's have been in nown for their road noise. Mine us quiet and the V6 is as smooth as silk at 97k miles just like I e it was brand new but I take care of it and am meticulous with my maintenance. Hondas will take care of you if you take care of them. Similar to a really good girl!
I have a 2020 Pilot EXL - While this is a 2024 Elite trim overall not much has changed. So I know on the highway the Pilot is noisy compared to other SUV. The 2024 Mazda CX-90 is very quiet I found when test driving it recently. I ended up buying out my lease - first time I ever did that (I have been leasing since 2002, several Hondas, two Acuras and a 2017 Pacifica). I chose to buy it because I could not see getting a new Honda Pilot because it has not changed much over the past 5-6 years.
@@FunAtDisney well it's a new platform an new engine and transmission and everything from the Inside and out and from the ground up is new. But to each their own
@@gabevillarreal4779 My point was there is not enough changed form the 2020 models.
Still a small infotainment screen, rear lights are not all LEDs, no ventilated rear seats, engine does now have DOcams, and trans went from 9 to 10 gear ratios but there is no hybrid, PHEV or EV offered. At this price point there is just too many other 3-row SUVs that are offering far more standard features.
I like Hondas a lot for their reliability but they are lagging behind in value for the dollar.
I wish Honda makes Pilot Hybrid to COMPLETE with Toyota Highlander Hybrid of MPG 👍👍
Hybrid is shit, v6 all the way
They dropped the ball on the screen size. Should have updated that to the one in the Accord. Love the straight up V6 v tech. No hybrid or turbo to complicate service.
Still no hybrid and still uses timing belt that requires expensive changing every 100,000 miles
Anyone have issues with the system giving warning that there is something on the front camera but there isn’t - apparently it is a big complaint they can’t figure out. Also, very disappointed in MPG. Just hit 1000 miles though so fairly new.
Be careful with coffee and any other liquid spilling into electronic gear shifter
I was thinking the same thing.
Happy New Years Guys to you and yours!
Happy New Year!
Honda missed the ball on the front overhang. I know its a minor thing for most people, but if you've ever done some off-roading or regular camping you would know what Im talking about. Look at the overhang of all European SUV's, they know what theyre doing. It looks better too. Probably my biggest gripe with this thing. I might have to wait for the Lexus gx550.
Are Hondas expensive to maintain for repairs and stuff? Trying to decide between the pilot, palisade, and telluride.
Loud! All honda/Acura cars are louder than their competitors
Great review as always and Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year to you too!
Cylinders deactivation is not reliable, not sure it can be turned off or it will be deal breaker for me.
That is also my main concern and reason for pause on purchasing a new pilot.
I have 2010 odyssey with 250,000 miles, cylinder deactivation has never been an issue. Engine is strong and average 24 mpg up to 28 highway!
I wish there were reviewers that would sit three people in the third row to demonstrate how functional it would really be for three
I really want to see the Passport come out with the same design cues inside and out.
I still own the first year Pilot.. the car is over 20 years old.
I can tell you the maps does not look Garmin at all. I have had garmin for years. It looks like a system that was used before garmin and it looks like maps that was in my aunt’s old 2014 Honda odyssey. I tried to research and it says something about MapCare which I have never heard of.
Who uses the on board navigation, Apple Car play or Android Auto connected and boom Google maps or Waze
Was there a lot of shifting at low speeds. Mine shift 2 time before I hit 15 mph or so
I should get a 2024 Honda Pilot in the Elite trim in Modern Steel Metallic with the Brown interior
Amazing video guys.
Honda, please put the Pilot interior into the Ridgeline (including the 10.25" gauge cluster, heads up display, and passenger shelf to name a few things). I would also like to see the slightly larger V6 and 10-speed transmission in the Ridgeline as well. On second thought, Honda should make a new Ridgeline model based on the Pilot instead of the Passport. They can call it the Ridgeline Elite. 😊
Slightly larger V6? I thought the new 3.5L DOHC was, well, 3.5 liters like the previous 3.5L SOHC with vtec? Honestly curious.
The Pilot's V6 produces 285 HP whereas the Ridgeline's V6 produces 280 HP.
They already had that on Ridgeline but took away for 2024.
That was the Ridgeline RTL-E trim was
Elite
.
I would settle for having the option for a gear shift lever instead of the unsafe pushbutton shifter.
@rodsheypuk8104 What's unsafe about push button gear selector?
It actually has some safety features like shifting itself into park when left in gear.
The Driver Seat Belt has to be unlucky and door open.
It looks much better but need at least a 12 inch screen and standard HUD. The standard HUD should increase in size for higher trim. Also, heard a/c is weak but I know those use to have 10k btu. Needs the USB/power on seats! USB are to low in rear! Needs a 2nd power train such as Plug-in Hybrid...
Honda 🎉
Wishing everyone a happy new year 🎊🎈 stay safe and blessed
Happy New Year to you too!
I have a 2019 Honda Pilot, I love it. Good V6 engine
too bad trailsport wasn't the one you guys reviewed. Trailsport model was tested in sedona for handle low to medium trails with its awd.
I currently have a 2015 honda accord with 112,833 miles on it and a 2002 honda pilot with 180,000 miles. but this might be my next purchase I love that color btw!
We had a 2023 Acura MDX for a while and I had the 14 Pro max and 15 pro max when we had the car. I have to say even though the charger was big, it would charge my phone for a couple seconds, and then stop charging it
In regards to the "Acceleration Test".... I just bought a 2024 Pilot EX-L AWD. When I try to accelerate, I get a hesitated acceleration. I even turned off the "Auto Stop" but yet I am still experiencing a delayed acceleration. Anyone else here? Dealer states they can not "duplicate it:" Does the "ELITE" model have a different engine?
Thanks
The palisade has soo many more features for the price n more tech
But it doesn't have the reliability of a Honda! Or their motors!
But it doesn't drive as well.
great car. only one thing really makes me very upset that honda still can not get rid off the that silly timing belt technology. come on Honda it is not even funny. it was 90-ies of previous century.
And they had a chance to fix that when they redesigned the engine for the Pilot. Ticks me off!
@@jsfbay1 exactly. and worst than that actually all 6 cylinder engines on all Hondas and even on all acuras are still belts. horrible idea.
So only adjustable seatbelts in the front row? I didn't see any in the other rows. Small thing but should be standard by now, my passengers love being able to have the seatbelt fit comfortably when they ride with me .
I really wish it comes with bigger screen and hybrid😢, it would have been a perfect upgrade from my old 2019 Pilot.
The perforated leather seats break down in the sun over 20 years and fall apart. We just had to replace the leather cover on my 2004 Pilot seats that were perforated. Wish they would stop using that leather design.
can you get a base model pilot?
Yes you can, the LX. I believed they also have reviewed it.
We have an LX trim review on the channel for your viewing pleasure 👍
Great Review! Question....does the Trail Sport come in any other Color? I would prefer a White or Black instead of that Blue.
Thanks! Yes, there are several other colors on the TS
Do y'all feel the acoustic glass helps with noise? Or would a Sport model without it be ok?
While we haven't tested the Sport specifically, the LX trim scored a substantially higher sound level readings. We might suggest trying them out back to back to see if it makes a big difference to you 👍
Im probably going to get one because I need to haul around my kids and their friends
Happy New Years guys!!!
Happy New Year, Ryan!
Can’t wait for a more rugged version.
The TrailSport is the rugged version wth are you talking about
knowing that 2025 has almost no change at all (was hoping for bigger screen), today I grabbed a 2024 elite with a pretty good deal, Radiant Red Metalic!
Congrats on your new Pilot!
How much did you pay?
I don't like the mainstream three rows. I like the Mazda CX 90 which is also a mainstream three row SUV in a luxury three row SUV
I like the rugged boxy look and I know the V6 is not bad on gas for cruising. Honda reliability is amazing.
But non-height adjustable seats, premium gas, and push button shifters is just a pushes me over the threshold and looking into a Toyota hybrid SUV or van.
Premium gas? It takes regular fuel what are u talking about. Also seats are adjustable in height for the driver....🤷
I can’t believe you didn’t also measure the load height of the rear opening.
Was there a lot of shifting at low speeds. Mine shift 2 time before I hit 15 mph or so 2:03
My 2017 9 speed transmission does that too, but have to be really paying attention to notice it.
Looked at the Elite, but then drove the Buick Enclave and bought the Buick. More comfort, better ride quality and so very quite.
You will regret the enclave if you plan on keeping it long term. Crap engine
@@thomasgross7359It has the V6 non turbo engine that has been in production for over 10 years., is that the engine you are talking about?
@@thomasgross7359please elaborate on crap engine?? Its a non turbo v6 that yes drinks more fuel sure bht is non turbo and has been refined over the last 10 ish years
The 3.6 liter V6 from GM has been around a while but has been shown to be problematic in the long term. Honda V6 engines are known for their silky smooth operation durability reliability and dependability. GM is not. It should be fine for the 1st 100k but like he said if you plan on keeping it long term, the Honda is a much better choice. The Buick is definitely smoother overall and quieter because that's what it is built for. I think if you treat it well and are meticulous with your maintenance, you should be ok. A GM product will never outlast a Honda Product in any category. Baby it and drive highway miles mainly and you should be ok.
@@gabevillarreal4779 I traded my 2018 Honda Accord for the Buick. Only had 21,000 miles on it. The Accord was so uncomfortable and terrible road noise you could not even here the radio when driving. The Accord had the 2.0L engine and 10 speed tranny. Never a problem with either and it got 40 miles to the gallon if I tried hard enough. By the way I traded a 2018 CRV with 1.5L engine for the Honda Accord because of engine and electronic problems the dealership could not fix. Thanks for your comments.
Isn't the Traverse/Enclave longer than the Pilot?
Yes, slightly
You say it needs more luxury options......such as?
I love the Black edition
Honda is so conservative - the tech is just not there and the gauge cluster is new??? hard plastic and design is so mundane. I owned honda and not anymore
Try kia😂
Today is 12 31 23!🎉
Do talker of the dash always hold the camera
Hopefully, With the soon to come all new 25', Honda will find a way to better the MPG...........Or maybe that's just the price We must pay for a nice V6.............Paul
Will there be a 2024 nissan ariya?
I nice car...Bit to long for My short Garage.........Am waiting for the all new 25' Passport Trailsport........Paul
*Honda has to refine its design , such great cars are just made good looking , especially that rear , looks like endeavour* 😂😂😂😂😂
I like the Honda pilot. The only thing they need to change is the screen the main screen is too small. 9 inches need to be upgraded to 12.3 in like in the new Honda Accord
Does having a large screen makes you a better safer driver?
The only thing Honda needs to change in my opinion is the push buttons for the transmission. Give it an old school shifter like the one that is in the CRV and Accord! Maybe Honda will do that for the next Passport model!
@@FordEnthusiast413 Or move the shifter off the console all together and reclaim all that space! I agree though, a regular shifter is preferable to me, and doesn't take up any more room as far as I can tell.
Am I one of the few who hates large screens? At night, the smaller the better. It's not like we're watching movies on here... I wouldn't want it any bigger on my Pilot.
@@rpiian people that prefer everything large have high standards and has the largest ego.
Did you look at the back windows behind the B pillar it is not lined up with the rest of the windows. Looks crooked. What was the designer thinking when created this body. Not aesthetic. Maybe the average customer don’t care.
One of the main deficiencies of reviews of SUVs is the lack of measurement of cargo- or passengers- or towing-WEIGHTS. For example, it should be easy for the reviewer to put, say, the necessary extra 150-180 lb dummies or even sandbags into the vehicle to see exactly what effect all that cargo mass would have on the get-up-and-go necessary to climb an entrance ramp onto a superhighway to merge safely with traffic.
While testing TOWING performance is harder if the test SUV does not have a tow package, towing performance is also critical in a SUV. These vehicles are not meant to be sports cars, so watching the reviewer zoom off at a high speed may be entertaining, but it does not impart that much useful knowledge in the cargo-hauling sense.
I'm only writing this for Honda Corp. If the Pilot had a 12 inch screen, I would buy it now. Thanks. Until then.... I'll shop elsewhere. Please listen. It's not hard to change!
Lol grow up
I’m looking at the 2024 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum and the 2024 Honda Pilot Elite. Both vehicles are very similar in almost every way. I’m leaning toward the Pathfinder. Do you have a favorite or a recommendation? Thanks
I believe we have a comparison on the channel which would probably be very helpful for you. Like you said, they are very similar in a ton of ways
All these huge 3 rolls SUVs look like mini vans.
I feel Honda really took 3 steps backwards on this one ! This doesn’t really look as modern as all of the other competitor designs! Looks ok if we were in 2016 ! Inside also a little simpler! Not an eye catcher but there’s something for everyone out there and many will disagree!
