What to weigh before buying
The Pilot’s eight-seat layout and 18-cubic-foot cargo area behind the rear seats make passenger capacity a central consideration. Trim selection also changes the balance between fuel economy, drivetrain, and towing: city fuel economy ranges from 17 to 18 MPG, highway fuel economy ranges from 24 to 25 MPG, and maximum towing ranges from 2,000 to 4,500 pounds.
Consider whether front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive better suits regular driving needs, then compare the trim prices with the capabilities that matter most. The 3.5-liter V6, automatic transmission, regular-fuel configuration, and 21-gallon fuel capacity are shared foundations across the lineup.
