Toyota 4Runner vs Honda Pilot
Looking for an SUV to take with you on every family road trip around Durham, Raleigh, and Chapel Hill? That’s probably how you’ve found yourself comparing the Toyota 4Runner vs. Honda Pilot. Both models are spacious, powerful, and high-tech, but which has more of the features you need?
To help you find out, Mark Jacobson Toyota has put together this handy comparison. Let our experts walk you through the pros and cons of each model so you can pick one to drive near Cary and Apex, NC.
Power
Both the 4Runner and Pilot come standard with a V6 engine that can produce seriously impressive levels of power. The Toyota 4Runner is able to crank out up to 278 lb-ft of torque with ease, where the Pilot can reach only 262 lb-ft of torque.
That difference will be noticeable when you take these SUVs on your next camping trip. The Toyota 4Runner can easily tow up to 5,000 pounds of cargo from the standard configuration.
The standard Pilot, on the other hand, has a maximum towing capacity of just 3,500 pounds. To reach the same capacity as the 4Runner, you would have to upgrade the drivetrain of the Pilot to the available all-wheel drive (AWD) system.
Convenience
The 2022 4Runner and 2022 Pilot are designed to add some convenience into your daily drives. These vehicles come equipped with certain features, like Push Button Start, to help streamline your daily drives.
When you’re packing cargo into the back, you’ll find that both models have plenty of space for you to utilize. However, when you fold the rear rows down flat, to achieve the maximum cargo capacity, you’ll find that the 4Runner has slightly more space than the standard Pilot:
- 2022 Toyota 4Runner: 88.8 cubic feet cargo capacity
- 2022 Honda Pilot: 83.9 cubic feet cargo capacity
Additionally, both vehicles have comprehensive safety and driver-assist technologies, but only the 4Runner comes standard with Rear Occupancy Alert. This will let you know if you’ve left anything in the back seat, so you don’t leave anything behind!
Comfort
With three rows of seating, the 4Runner and Pilot both give you plenty of space to bring all your friends and family along for the ride. However, if you don’t need all that seating space, only the 4Runner is available in a smaller 5-seater model.
The 4Runner and Pilot both come standard with fabric upholstery and have leather as an available option. However, if you’re looking for something in between, you’ll likely love the available SofTex®-trimmed seats in the 4Runner.
Which SUV Will You Choose?
The 2022 Toyota 4Runner and 2022 Honda Pilot are two exceptional options for drivers near Chapel Hill, Cary, and Apex, North Carolina. However, we at Mark Jacobson Toyota think the 4Runner has a little more to offer, which can make a big difference in the quality of your future drives.
