You can't say Pilot "capable 4x4" and "based on the Acura MDX" in the same paragraph. The Acura MDX is a Honda Odyssey with all Wheel drive. All the 4x4 runs I have done, I have never seen any Honda product 4 wheeling other than Quads and Motorcycles.

Pilot is great if you are a Mom taking your kids to a soccer game.

Personnaly the 4Runner is not an SUV. Its what I call, an ORUV "Off Road Utility Vehicle". Very few vehilces can qualify as an ORUV and the Pilot is not one of them. The Pilot has Unit Body Construction as the 4Runner does not. Heck, my Celica has Unit Body Construction, what does that tell you about the "capable 4x4" of the Pilot. Another reason why the 4Runner is more expensive. Its alot cheaper to make a car frame then a truck frame.


"capable 4 wheel drive" definition for you and me is obviously very different... you must go rock hopping or something... continue to enjoy it...
Obviously you have selective reading abilities and didnt follow my thread very well...

Why dont you submit "ORUV" to Toyota so they can designate their "true" off road vehicles from their fakes?? Maybe youll win a prize
