I recently bought a 2018 Pilot Touring (certified). I tried both Highlander and Pilot before i made my decision. Initially i wanted to purchase Highlander but it has most uncomfortable seats (specifically the third row seats are horrible) on the other hand, Pilot is very comfortable, lots of room, and easily fits 8 adults without any problems. If you go for long drive frequently, and take your family and friends with you then i definitely recommend Honda Pilot over Highlander.

As usual, Scotty, your videos are extremely informative, and this one is also one of your best.

Since we're in an inflationary period and vehicles are increasinging price--even used ones--I believe the 2018 hybrid would be a pretty good pick. What do you think, Scotty? I'm not a Honda fan due to their CVT's which can be very problematic over time.

[@user-wq5ws1qs7x]

I have a 2017 and they extended the transmission warranty to 10 years unlimited miles. There was a manufacturing issue where a pin comes lose and blows the transmission. Many failures at low miles, but appears to be isolated. I think the faulty ones went right away. The transmission refresh is not a big deal.

[@retiredrebel]

Best to avoid 2017, unless the issues have been solved. 2018-2019 is better, the refresh added a combination of direct fuel injectors along with the port injectors. Looks better and is more efficient than 2015-2016. Hybrids are very well built. My 2016 HiHybrid lasted 751,xxx km (470,000 miles) and was sold for a good amount considering everything.

I absolutely love my 2017 Highlander Hybrid. It's very quick accelerating from a stop and in passing at highway speeds. The seats could be a little more comfortable, and access to the 3rd row is still far more difficult than that of my 2015 Honda Pilot. The 2015 Pilot is also a great car. It is much roomier and quiet than my Highlander, and it gets around in the snow better than any car I've ever driven. All told, the Pilot is a more comfortable vehicle, but the Highlander feels more agile and gets almost twice as many MPG. I also handed down my 2010 Highlander Hybrid to my daughter. The 2010 still looks new and drives great at around 150K miles. Bottom line, we've owned multiple model years of both vehicles, and they were all great cars.

Scotty, loving your videos and professional advice. Can you make a video on Acura MDX, I am thinking of buying a used one.

[@danielbrisk2884]

Thanks so much!!! The future mrs and I are on a budget and in need of a reliable, fuel efficient, Mid SUV. We're checking Consumer Reports but your review cut right to the chase!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Formerly owned a 2006 Honda Pilot. We liked it alot. Just had to downsize.

[@cardo1111]

Good stuff! I hope TN is treating you and yours well Scotty.

[@susiebrown6646]

These videos are so valuable.

[@utt2468]

Great video, please do Rav4 2019 + VS CRV 2019 +

I like our 2010 Ford Edge 3.5L V6 best. We have 161K and still going strong...

[@stevenfriedman6042]

I have a 2011 pilot which I purchased used. A great vehicle!

[@Sgv1tm]

Great video as always!

[@dmvideos7913]

Great video ! Thank you for the info , I wonder what do you think about the grand highlander ?

[@justinfertig619]

I’ve owned a 2010 pilot, excellent vehicle especially with the 3rd row and I currently own a 2016 highlander also an excellent vehicle, the highlander has more creature comforts and the engine is a lot more peppy the wind noise is true with the highlander but overall I’d take the Toyota MPG is a little better as well.

I love my 06 pilots. 150k miles and drives like a dream

[@shadowbay2277]

Scotty, I bought a 2005 Pilot brand new and It's still running smooth after well over 3000,000 mi. My family loves the eight seat and cargo room. The only major problems I've had was replacing the rack and pinion twice, and it's burning a lot of oil especially since a local mechanic replaced a head because he said his arm slipped when he was doing a timing belt job. He said he replaced it (for free) with a 2009 salvage head but shortly after I noticed the sparkplugs in the replaced head were fouled with oil. I'm gonna keep an eye on it after he claimed he fixed the problem. What do you think?

[@cablebrain9691]

Wow! 3 million miles.....not bad!!!

[@richsweeney1115]

He head he bought is probably why it's burning oil...

[@marktuyet]

Have him replace it again .

[@patcare372]

@@cablebrain9691 i think it was supposed to say 30,000 miles as I know most honda's don't last 300k

[@taddanley8692]

Scotty, love your reviews! What do you think of the 2022 MDX?

[@michaelkillough6144]

Bought a used 14' highlander V6 fwd xle w 86k on it about 3 months back. Other than the display resetting, turning itself on and off while driving which I understand is a simple update to which it should fix. Other than that I am happy with the vehicle. 4.6 out of 5. 👍

[@chadmurphy7732]

I’ve owned 2006, 2012, and 2016 Highlanders. Loved them all. Simply upgraded as I wanted new features. I’m not a big fan if the stylings of the newest generation. For my money, you can’t beat the Highlander. “There can be only one.”

[@davidanderson8469]

All the newer Toyota/Lexus line has that hideous front clip that Darth Vader inspired.

[@Ruthking95]

I have a 2005 Highlander with a V6 and I love it! I’ve had it for a few months and no complaints. I bought it from the original owner, and only “big” thing we have had to do is the timing belt and water pump and the timing belt was the original one!

[@trailerparkcryptoking5213]

My 2007 RAV4 w/3.5L V6 has a timing “chain” which doesn’t require changing. Are you sure your V6 has a “belt”? Hopefully you didn’t get taken advantage of.....

[@Ruthking95]

I’m sure my v6 has a belt I have a 3.3L V6 and my brother is a mechanic so he takes care of everything for me and he wouldn’t ever cheat me or steer me wrong!

[@trailerparkcryptoking5213]

@@Ruthking95 yes, that 3.3L probably has a belt. I was referring to the 3.5L as they have a chain. Your brother takes great care of you!

[@rolandroland1485]

@@trailerparkcryptoking5213 it does have timing belt, I just replace my 06 v6 highlander at 95k as recommended by the manufacturer! Ruh is correct and those replacements are critical 👌🏿

[@ChrisS-su8yp]

My 2008 had a lot of problems especially with the electrical in the AC system. I traded it for a 2022 and I love it.

[@youngolf1]

Very entertaining!! Good history

[@carsandconcerts]

Great video Scotty!!!👍👍👍. Me personally I would go with the Toyota Highlander over the Honda Pilot ..

[@omarparish6748]

I own a 2016 Honda Pilot EX-L...so far I'm impressed!!! 👍

[@truckbuild4213]

Do you have the 6 speed transmission or the 9 speed transmission

[@robb15033]

Great job on video!!
