The new Honda Pilot Trailsport gives a practical family a sense of adventure.
and Kia Telluride X-Pro that boast rugged marketing more than off-road capability.
The longest and largest Pilot gets a bit longer as the TrailSport, and it rides an inch higher than other Pilots with a ground clearance of 8.3 inches. The approach angle increases, and a 4.0-mm-thick high-strength steel front skid plate protects the new 285-hp 3.5-liter V-6 and new 10-speed transmission powering the fourth generation Pilot.
Flicking through the drive modes—Normal, Econ, Snow, Tow, and Sport—adjusts throttle response, shift timing, and steering weight to give the family hauler a bit more personality for the conditions, and AWD models add Trail and Sand modes. With the 18-inch tires, there wasn’t that much difference overall ride quality in the TrailSport versus the Pilot Elite and its 20-inch wheels.
A more advanced all-wheel-drive system also helped move the TrailSport along in and out of ruts and through mud puddles. Similar to Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive, the Pilot’s variable torque management system can send up to 70% of the torque to the rear wheels. A torque-vectoring rear differential then can direct up to 100% of that torque to the rear wheel with the most grip.
