average height is 5ft 10 in Canada and USA. there is plenty of room in both cars but pilot is a lot better in headroom.

The kick to open feature is usually in the center of the bumper expecting the driver to walk up to the tailgate to put in something, not on the corner of the vehicle.

Disappointing that GH only gained 1 MPG. Turbo engines have more that can break down - give me a buttery smooth V6.

Definitely Pilot. GH has hybrid yes, but they’re in short supply and thousands more. Most are gas models which felt not as good as the pilot imo.

I remember when the black trim and panels on your vehicle meant you bought the cheapest model, DX or LX model, rather than full body color panels and bumpers. What's old is new again

I rented the EXL and I was happy with it but to me it seemed slightly sluggish on the acceleration. I really enjoy my 17’ Pilot.

I think, overall the Pilot is better for bigger, taller people. I had a 2014 Highlander, 2017 Pilot and now on my second Pilot (2024). I also prefer Honda’s handling and engine tuning. But both options are amazing practical and comfortable family haulers. I love this format.

I recently drove every large crossover and full size SUV and found the Pilot to be the best blend of space, versatility and ride quality. Coming from 2 straight Toyota Sequoias, I was excited to try the GH but the ride quality was really bad and it was surprisingly noisy. Toyota is prioritizing fuel efficiency over ride quality which may appeal to some but I prefer a quieter smooth ride and will sacrifice some MPGs.

They use sound deadening and do a lot of sound proofing along with ANC (active noise cancellation) standard in most Acura. They use high quality zinc coating on body too. Other than weak transmissions, alternator and electrical stuff every other part of Honda and Acura exceeds Toyota in quality. Toyota is just a great overall package. If you are willing to pump some money into your Honda and take care of it. I t would last 25-30 years+. There are 80's and 90's manual Acuras that are still on road in rust belt areas.

You are 100% correct. Drove both, bought the Pilot Elite . No body roll or “boaty wallowing” The Pilot feels more planted and secure on the road and on curves. It takes rough asphalt and bumps-and smooths them out better. Price $55,000 out the door, total bottom line. I know this vehicle will last me many, many years.

I recently purchased a Grand Highlander XLE awd hybrid. I love it. ❤ I do alot of highway driving and get about 28mpg highway and 30mpg city. It's good in the snow (live in northern MI) and the inside is large enough to fit a toddler and 2 teens comfortably in the back without feeling like it's too cramped. I originally wanted a sequoia, however the seats in it can't fold flat and it was 30k more than the GH.

Both of these are great vehicles that will last a long time. I’d also through in the Subaru Ascent, even though a little smaller.

Annoyingly you can get 8 seats in the Highlander but only in the base model. We ended up with the Pilot. With a family of 5, and getting all the options we wanted, we loved the second row 3-scross at ALL trim-levels. Your not forced to use the 3rd row with the 5th person and lose a lot of cargo space. Big screens are overrated. Everything that should be a button is a button.

Not really, I swapped my 3.5L V6 Highlander for the Grand Highlander and its the same thing! I know the V6 is said to hold up better, but remember, this is Toyota. They don't sacrifice quality for numbers! Toyota has a big name for longevity, they aren't going to ruin years of hard work for a turbo!

I’ll take the Pilot for that naturally aspirated V6 that I could dog around like a workhorse. Honda’s i-vrtm drivetrain is also excellent with snow and sharp corners. The Trailsport trim for camping and hiking trails.

Pilot is the best

Both are great! The Pilot is the best seller in the segment.

Thank you for covering these great vehicles. Very informative and interesting. I just wish Honda offered a hybrid offering for their Pilot.

The Honda was a no-brainer on many levels. I really have no idea why people are hung up on screen size. It wasn't long ago where 5 or 6 inch screens were easily adopted. The 9 inch works fine and in no way is a detrement to what you will use it for. A 6 cylinder ICE motor was the main reason I went for the Honda. It still has descent gas mileage and will be way cheaper to any vehicle with a turbo and hybrid vehicle in the long run. At least most mechanics on your road trips can fix most normal engine issues. Try fixing a hybrid when it breaks anywhere but a dealer! And cost!! Don't even get me started, and I know! Why I got rid of my hybrid years ago. Love the extra milleage it gets you, but in the long run, there is so much more to maintain. I have nothing against Toyota, but I just can't the turbo or hybrid again unless I'm forced to. So, I just bought the 2024 Honda Elite and love it!

The Pilot is a direct competitor to the Highlander not the GH on the Toyota Lineup. Honda should bring another variant called ' Pilot Plus' which should be slightly larger than the current pilot and it should have a hybrid option. The GH was too big for me and it had the suburban,trucky feel. The pilot is perfect for families who need that extra third-row and feel like they are still driving the CRV.

I agree, I went with the GH Hybrid because of fuel efficiency and size.

The second row seat slides back. You have it in the forward most position when sitting in it. And you have it slid all the way back when sitting in the third row. This making the legroom look tight in either seat. Also the third row also reclines which you forget to mention. Nice try.

Sorry, but not a fair comparison. 1 is “Grand”” and the Pilot is just a pilot. Do a comparison of the regular Highlander vs Pilot.

Yep

the GH camera can show you whats under the car!

When it comes to reliability, power, towing capacity and roominess nothing beats a Chevy Suburban. The Pilot and Grand Highlander have hardly any room behind the 3rd row. Forget about towing with them.

To accurately measure seat space/leg room, seat behind the wheel and adjust it to your most comfortable driving position and distance... move into the second row behind the drivers seat and adjust the seat to where you have enough space where you're comfortable. Then move to the third row behind the second row seat that you adjusted by using the passenger side (to prevent moving the 2nd row seat). Then seat behind the second row seat (driver's side) and make the necessary adjustment (recline) to get comfortable. Only then can you tell which car has more leg room. You moved the Grand Highlander second seat all the way back but not with the Pilot which gave you the impression that the Pilot has more legroom in the 3rd row. Remember, the Grand Highlander has 97.5 cubic feet of interior space behind the first row while the Pilot only has 87 cubic feet. The cargo volume on the Grand Highlander is 20.6 cubic feet while the Pilot has 18.6 feet which means the Grand Highlander still has 8.5 more cubic feet of space in the second and 3rd row seats (97.5 - 87 = 10.5, 10.5 - 2 = 8.5). Don't tell me the Grand Highlander has 9-10 cubic feet more space in the second row than the Pilot for the Pilot to have a more spacious third row than the Grand Highlander.

GDI's will carbon up and need cleaning every 20,000, timing belt cost replacement between 60,000 and 80,000 miles will cost about $2000 and not sure of rotor cost replacement but I would go with a different brand than Honda and they have known about this for years on their other year Pilots. All this comes from a dealer Honda mechanic to me. Believe me I asked a lot of questions to both though the Pilot is more cost effective on initial purchase and I do believe it is a good vehicle but i also believe the Grand Highlander to be just a bit better IMHO.

Small vs turbo for rhe size of that suv and cvt. You eill have more maintenance in the gh than Pilot

Sam, you really sucks when you try to use your foot to open tailgate, you need to stand in the middle, and just use a kick motion under the bumper, not swing your foot left and right. Come one, it’s not that hard to understand, get it right man. No wonder you don’t like this feature, because you have no idea how it works.

Bro why you gotta keep swinging your foot at the very side of them lol the sensor is probly in the middle lol

Toyota highlander all day!!❤

Style, comfort, tech, looks, better fuel consumption thats why I bought the GH over the Pilot.

This is a very flawed review, part of ownership is maintenance costs and the GH with the Turbo will be very expensive down the road to repair. Gas engines with a Turbo are a nightmare.

Man lot of honda pilot fans here. Ive driven 3 generations of the honda pilot but decided to go with the grand highlander hybrid max plat. If you are talking about gas only then yes id go with the pilot. But the top trim GH with 362 bhp and 400 lb ft torque will smoke the pilot and pretty much most suv in its segment any day, while getting better fuel economy. 0 to 60 is 5.9 sec for the GH while the pilot gets there 6.9. For all u with a pilot, drag race anyone?

Who is trying to race? My wife is just using this to get the kids to school.

Toyota is full of itself now... the Honda is way better
