Obviously some of you are tainted by Toyota products....
For the majority the Pilot will still be the better overall buy. It has vastly more room, better fuel economy, probably similar 0-60 times, and very capable 4x4 system. It is based on the Acura MDX... more so then Odyssey, Accord, TL, etc....
I dont think most of you who are commenting have even driven the Pilot and I know all of you havent driven the new 4runner so how can you be so sure the 4Runner is the best deal... for the limited 4x4 v8 model I am sure the price will reach 40 large ones..... sorry but thats a lot of money... Id rather get a loaded Pilot for 30 and spend the rest on a boat!!!
Ive driven Acura products and I am a current owner of my beloved 2000 Tundra.... but anyone who isnt so biased towards one make will surely know that the Pilot will continue to dominate in its class because there isnt a better buy for under 30K.
If youre thinking of spending 40 for the new 4Runner... theres a ton of great SUV out there that you should compare it too....
Also someone said the third row seat in the Pilot/MDX is tight ... compared to the Tundras!!!! My goodness.... I can sit comfortably in the Pilot/MDX third row seat.... just enough knee room, plenty of head room, and the seats comfortable... its the getting in and out part. On my Tundra.... the only way i can sit back there is with my legs on the bench... It is embarrassing to ask anyone to sit back there because its so uncomfortable....
The only thing the Pilot and most Honda products can improve on is their plain jane looks... but Toyota designers are hardly better....
