The Family-Friendly, Economical Choice

For an all-around family vehicle with all of the bells and whistles you and your passengers need, it’s hard to beat the 2022 Honda Pilot. The Pilot comes in seven trim levels to match your needs, and standard three row SUV seating that fits up to eight people.

The 4Runner gives drivers eight trim choices—most with standard seating for five and optional third-row seating that will fit up to seven people.

The Honda Pilot offers a more comfortable, friendly crossover feel that makes driving around town and road tripping a much more pleasant experience. You can expect a more truck-like sensation when you ride in a 4Runner.

Another plus when you go with the Pilot—the engine is significantly more fuel efficient than the 4Runner engine—an EPA-estimated 20 city/27 hwy for the Pilot, 16 city/19 hwy for the 4Runner—with comparable horsepower and torque stats.

Key Safety Features

The Pilot and the Toyota 4Runner include features that make driving safer. The 4Runner has four standard Toyota Safety Sense™ systems including the Pre-Collision System w/ Pedestrian Detection.

In the Honda Pilot Sport (base trim), drivers benefit from a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera and Honda Sensing® driver assist features including Blind Spot Information w/ Cross Traffic Monitor, Collision Mitigation Braking, Road Departure Mitigation, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Keeping Assist.

Pilot drivers also have the help of Honda Intelligent Traction Management w/ Snow Mode for traction, stability, and confidence at the push of a button

Infotainment for the Whole Family

When it comes to technology, the 2022 Pilot is fully loaded. Standard features on the base trim Sport include an 8-inch Display Audio touchscreen, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, Bluetooth® Streaming Audio for a wireless experience, and Smart Entry w/ Walk Away Auto Lock®.

While the Toyota 4Runner SR5 is also equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen and hands-free phone capability, the Honda Pilot gives drivers the option of an Advanced Rear Entertainment System for second and third-row passengers.

This feature allows for separate audio programming for rear passengers on their own state-of-the-art, factory-integrated Blu-ray™ Entertainment system (standard on Touring trim and above). This includes two sets of wireless headphones, a 10.2-inch high-resolution screen, a Blu-ray™ disc player, High-Definition Multimedia Interface technology, a 115-volt power outlet, and more.

Comfort and Style That Can’t Be Beat

It’s true that the more truck-inspired Toyota 4Runner has a larger towing capacity, but when it comes to interior comfort and style, it’s all about the Honda Pilot. Stay cozy with heated front seats and Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control standard in all Pilot trim levels.

Enjoy the drive with a 10-way Power Adjustable/Power Lumbar Support driver’s seat and leather-trimmed seats in all but the Pilot Sport model. Both the Elite and Black Edition trims elevate the comfort level with Heated and Ventilated Front Seats and Ambient LED Lighting.

While the 4Runner base trim has fabric-trimmed driver’s seat with 8-way power control, it has no Dual Zone Automatic Climate Control and no Integrated Sunshades for back seat passengers like the ones standard on the Honda Pilot.
