Great video. This Pilot is really impressive. Glad to see Honda upping their game. Beautiful doggie.

Roller test is demonstrative of what the drive train is capable of on slippery pavement. Always look forward to the roller test.

I have a Ridgeline AWD and the iVTM system is amazing. In inclimate weather the thing is unstoppable. I don't have any need to go off road, but I can absolutely vouch for the effectiveness of the AWD system in snow and in the wet. Even on dry roads, the torque vectoring improves handling. People love to poke fun at Honda's "trucks", but they have more capability than most owners will ever use.

Super impressive performance by the Pilot. Nice to see a company putting actual capability k to a vehicle instead of just slapping on stickers and a few color highlights. Well done Tommy, and Blaze!

This has really convinced me on the pilot. Absolutely going to be the replacement for my wife’s car in the next year or 2. Nothing else even comes close for keeping my family safe of the road. Go Honda!

I’ve got a white trailsport on order and I’m stoked after watching this. Will I be taking it off-roading? No probably not. But I’ve endured 30+ massive snowstorms this winter out here in Utah and I’m excited for what a beast this thing will be in the snow. It should be great for skiing and camping.

It really helps to know what the drive modes do, and I wish Honda would publish it. Through my research getting my ‘19 AWD RIDGELINE I learned that Sand Mode sends 70% to the rear and “locks” it. Snow mode is more of a 50/50 split and starts in second gear to limit slip. Mud and Sand have very aggressive throttle and traction while Snow is safe and reserved. Sand mode being the most aggressive with the most shut off features and trac. Hope that helps!

Im just here for Blaze. What a good boy

I've been looking forward to more videos on the pilot trailsport. I think the combination of off and onroad performance, with an almost minivan level of interior space, is a dynamite combo for a weekend camper build. When my subaru finally dies I'm pretty sure this is my next vehicle.

Can't wait for the new 2-row Passport.

Great test🙂👌🏼…I drove my 2022 MDX through Mammoth lakes during severe snow storm and it was a breeze…..some of the best AWD systems

Looks like Honda has really done their homework. A very impressive SUV, setting the benchmark for other important manufacturers.
Definitely showing that a takes more than an appearance package for it to be a off/softroader

[CfRlCajunfishRiplips]

Just bought mine yesterday same color shown. Test drove several SUVs in this class and I kept going back to the Pilot. TFL is best out there giving us good information on vehicles.

[LionRunner]

This roller test is better than 4Runner roller test. Well done Honda..!!🔥🔥🔥

[richardnottelmann]

Love Tommy's slip tests. Blaze was helping add traction

[vasekvi]

Nice to see Honda applying engineering in this area.

[Castrotxfam]

That is pretty cool to a Honda Pilot with more off road capabilities. They are stepping up their Trailblazing game. 👍

[landscapingspecialist]

Yeah I remember Blaze as a super small pup when you got the bronco or the red Willy’s jeep. I love dogs 🐾

[kenhoward]

That traction at only one front wheel quickly gets the vehicle moving forward is very impressive. It's a shame the CR-V and HR-V don't have this effective AWD system (to better-compete with Subaru). I'd like to see a CR-V TrailSport.

Blaze is being a great boy all the time! anytime my dogs want to help me move rocks, open packages, or clean they are more than welcome to.
