Used 2016 Honda Pilot for Sale near New York

With its minivan roots, the new Pilot carries on familiar territory as a pleasing family hauler. It's also getting really good at driving itself.

Under its tall, truck-like proportions, the all-new Honda Pilot is built on a minivan chassis. Since the first 2003 model, Honda has paired truck-like styling with car-like driving, an ideal combination that seemed radical against the bestselling Chevy TrailBlazers and Ford Explorers of that era, all of which were based on actual pickup trucks. Now that hardcore, body-on-frame SUVs have been relegated to the enthusiast market, Honda promotes the Pilot’s minivan connection with pride and more than a little irony. “They probably should have bought an Odyssey,” says product manager James Jenkins about his target customers, “but we know they don’t want a minivan.” And that’s exactly why you’re here, isn’t it?
