The Pilot is Verrry nice, but like others have said at length, it's comparing apples and oranges. Pilot is based on a Car like chassis, the "Runner" is based on a truck chassis. I'm sure the Pilot's off road capabilities are very good, as it is a front wheel drive base, then incorporates the rear wheels for 4wd. It does NOT have a Low 4WD gear like 'Runner, Tundra etc. I wonder how the 4WD of the Pilot would stack up in a getoutofbeingstuck situation?
As far as the new 'Runner being $40,000? The 02 Sequios(spelling) are around $37k, for a full size V8 Suv, so my guess is the V8 'Runner will be in the low to mid $30's?
