Excellent video guys !
Thank you. 😊👍
I test drove both the 3rd row in Highlander is useless and the cargo capacity behind the 3 row in Highlander is a joke compared to pilot I don’t know how it got same numbers. I’m a Toyota guy for life but from reality point of real life test I found Pilot a lot more spacious and family friendly
So true im a Toyota person 2 but back storage is great
Really enjoy your reviews...thanks!
Glad to hear it! Thanks!
Thank you.. this is so far the best video can explain about both cars.♥️
Really well done video! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed!
How come I’m just finding this?!? I NEEDED THIS 2 WEEKS AGO 😂😂
What did u get?
Juliet&Bitsy I got a 2021 GMC Yukon Denali because I forgot how Bad and Absolutely Boujee I was ✨💅
@@periodt4651 Oh my gosh... did u atleast test drive other vehicles? I mean Yukon is bigger than highlander and pilot. but im not sure about the reliability and durability of Gmc's...
@@JesusIsLord7773 yeap. Can't beat Toyota bc of its incredible reliability. Have u seen a Toyota dead on a road? No. Toyota FTW 😁
Very good comparison, especially putting the two cars in the same screen side-by-side. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed!
Same
Super good approach with two cars in the same screen side-by-side.
Love the 21 pilot I have been driving it for a week now and am extremely happy. My kids absolutely love the back seats.
well, you have no choice anyway.
@@solongsucka what’s that mean?
Well done. Test drove the Passport today, then the Highlander. It was for my daughter wound up buying the Highlander. Both are excellent vehicles and you can’t go wrong with either.
I called Honda to order a Pilot with a Highlander interior. The man on phone said he needs to talk to the manager.
😂🤣😅
Seriously 😂😂😂
Now call Toyota to order a Highlander with a Honda Pilot exterior
Get the Pilot. So quiet and comfortable, the real challenge is staying awake behind the wheel if you like that sort of thing. (I do).
I love you guys.
Awesome work.
Thanks!
Great video, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
This is the best video thank you
Glad you enjoyed!
...another awesome review.
Thanks!
That smart mirror on the toyota is almost enough to sell the vehicle by itself. What a great concept. No more worrying about whether you can see past all of the passengers or the children or the car seats etc.
We have had 2 Highlanders and they were amazing then we decided to try Pilot, never again. Highlander is the winner and keeper.
Seiko Watch what was wrong with the Honda Pilot? My ex had one and that was a champ but then again it was a first gen I currently have the Ford Explorer not too bad so farb
Stop lying.
I’m sure u are Honda hater.
Can you tell us why
Bro my 2014 Honda Pilot got 191,000 miles we been everywhere you can imagine in the USA and Canada and Mexico no problem not even the transmission . The only thing i do its its regular maintains like brake pads oil transmission oil no problems very good suv but some parts need work on for honda even in the newer models
Nope, opposite here. Had a 2012 Pilot, got 2019 Highlander, hated it, traded for 2020 Pilot Black Edition.
Good review. I might quibble over some points awarded here and there but the overall result is what I'd expect. There's no question that the Pilot needs an update to stay competitive in the segment. On one point, though, the Honda is definitely superior. Despite lengthening the Highlander by almost 3 inches, the third row is still a torture chamber suitable only for tiny children or bound and gagged hostages. Its 27.7" of legroom is 4" (!) less than the KIA Sorento, a three row crossover that's half a foot shorter! In fact, the Highlander has 139 cubic ft of total passenger room compared tp the Pilot's 152 cf.
Finally, while the Highlander has definitely improved compared to the last generation the entire category has been affected by the availability of the Telluride and Palisade. Each is a far better midsize three row crossover.
The comparison helps me to decide which one to buy. 2020 Pilot Touring was the winner.
Do you still have the Honda? I’m trying to decide now.
I just got the 2020 Highlander base model and I'm super glad I didn't pay for all the extra, my base model came with a towing hitch, spoiler and rubber mats....love it!
Same! I just purchased the L trim. It’s awesome. Just a beautiful ride. The upper trims just offer gimmicks for extra thousands. Not worth it at all. Go for the L trim and save some money.
@@Dstar5me I bought the Platinum because I can afford it. I don't know why the people who can't afford the upper trims complain that they're gimmicks
Love the redesign of the Highlander, looks pretty amazing.
Look at 2021. Much much better. This model looks nice but its like a subaru looking at the front.
@Jean Toronto Raptors same
@@chookchack well I mean Toyota has a share of Subaru
Highlander hands down. Saw one in person a few weeks ago. It was a burgundy Platinum edition and I must say this thing is hotter than a rice cooker!!
Ha Ha Ha ya
Great comparison....Highlander
.5 for the Blu-ray on the Pilot? This is a family vehicle, that's pretty much a whole point lol
The Highlander doesn’t need the subscription for remote start as far as I know! You can start it from the key!
You do we’d subscription , 88 dollars per year
That was a great comparison- thank you! I love the side-by-side shots and identical camera angles- it really helps.
Thanks! Glad to hear that you liked the video! 😁
Good job guys
Thanks!
Highlander interior looks Awsome. Both look like nice rides.
Thanks I am buying a new SUV this week and your comparison really HELPED!! Thank You
Glad to hear that! Good luck with your upcoming purchase! 👍
Men, don't let the little lady pick out the SUV! Men, don't let mama castrate you when it comes to get a real man's SUV! The Honda Pilot is mama's SUV! LOL! Mama upgraded from the minivan to the Highlander or Pilot; however, they are not a real man's SUV! First, let's look at the horsepower. They both have less than 300hp! Really! Something that weighs that much with less than 300hp loaded with the family trying to pass on the highway in the fast lane! LMAO! Secondly, let's look at the towing capacity. 5,000lbs! that's all!?! Again, if a person has the whole family in the those SUV's and towing a boat decides to get in the fast lane on the highway to pass a vehicle. OMG! Talking about major disappointment and stuck with keeping that slow vehicle until it gets paid off! Mama aint thinking about a SUV towing abilities, just like a man isn't thinking about what type of make-up women should buy! Men, don't let the little lady talk you into buying these feminize girlie SUV's! LMAO! I've seen to many men become disappointed from the lack of manly capabilities of these SUV's! A Real will buy a Durango RT/SRT/Hellcat! The RT has 370hp. and 7400lbs towing. The SRT 485hp and 8900lbs towing! The Durango Hellcat, 710hp.! Now, I don't want to hear any panzies out the crying about the fuel effeciency or quality of build because the Highlander and Pilot have issues just like any vehicle, Einstein! LMAO! Now, feel your crotch and make sure you still have a pair and next time buy a real man's SUV!
@@jamesmcclendon3932 Dodges are unreliable junk. Wont ever own another one. To each their own.
@@KoJo-qh9od Yeah they’re pieces of junk
Thanks for your time and details. Doesnt the Pilots Rear storage comartment cover have an option to be removed and placed in the lower part of the storage comartment providing more storage space? Plus it can be flipped over for carper option on one side and weather protect on the other side?
I just purchased a 2021 hybrid. Picking it up tomorrow. I see myself keeping this car for the full duration of the 10 year battery warranty or more. There really isn't anything much I could want more of a car. Perhaps a self-driving/taxi capability... but that won't be ready before a very long time on these models and at affordable prices.
Very good 👍! I hope you can compare both SUV’s Cabin Tranquility. Thank you!
My cousin has a pilot and I have a highlander. If you live in the city, and have kids, go with pilot! If you live in the suburbs or country and have older kids, get the Highlander.
Toyata highlander is a great deal...i can't wait to have it one day as my dream car...it's a very good car..
toyota is a bad deal... i cant wait to get rid of mine its my dream to do that... its a very bad car
I own 2019 pilot ex-l full leather android auto and ect. Everything but heated wheel and it ran me $37,000 I absolutely love it.
I think Pliots are nice vehicles.
Terence H they really are! We have a 2020 Black Edition and it is wonderful!
Great Video. I would take the new Highlander
I'd pick Highlander for quietness.. Also Pilot's transmission is huge unknown as all people know the MDX had problems with it for years... !!
Ya bu at least Toyota has built it self a good background about reliability
Yay! Toyota finally won a comparison!
Yup, though considering that this Pilot generation was introduced in the year 2015 and the Highlander, 2019, Toyota should be winning ...

Honda should ahve one
@@jamesmcclendon3932 ok... the Honda Pilot isn't even that slow for a V6.
I owned mostly toyotas in my whole life. v6 camry se, 4cl camry, toyota rav 4 and sienna sport.I resaly wanted to stay with toyota buy i dont really feel the latest gen of highlander. i end up getting the honda pilot black edition which feels more premium in my opinion!
These cars are built to be family haulers but I’m sad to say the highlander lost this with the tight 3rd row.
I love ❤️ highlander
Very nice design and reliability
Both are great
Highlander hybrid platinum is the best deal out there with 36 mpg and it comes with fully loaded technologies.
YO I live there 😂😂😂 also we just got our 2021 highlander limited and I’m very impressed by it, great choice for an suv
The blacked out Pilot looks dated (not to mention impossible to keep clean). I do find it disapointing that both use harsh riding 20" wheels. The Highlander requires a ridiculous "subscription" for navigation. Both have poor 3rd row seating room. My next choice will be for the Honda Ridgeline.
The best ones ❤️
I test drove the Pilot, it was like Honda forgot to add suspension.
Got the Highlander, awesome value
f the highlander its so bad imo
Haha, a buddy of mine w some insight into Japanese automobiles always said that Honda wants to provide a feel for the road while Toyota wants to dampen the road. I like the feel of the Accords and Pilot that I’ve owned. There’s a crispness to the driving experience. Never really driven a Toyota. Don’t care for their styling. 🤷♂️
Great comparison! What is the background music called in the beginning? You've used it before and I like it👍😄
Thanks! That song is called Heartbreak 💔
The Highlander is my next SUV!
loved it! hope you do a review of the 2020 acura rdx!
Thanks! We actually did already film a 2020 RDX review, so you should be able to find it on the channel
@@CarConfections okay! alot of people on my commenting are replying to my comment! :) you should start doing reviews of jeep's chrysler's dodge!

The rear video entertainment system is a major feature and should worth at least one point.
It would be really interesting to compare minivans and three row crossovers, like the Pacifica to the Atlas or Traverse, The Sedona to the Telluride or Palisade, the Odyssey to the Pilot, or the Sienna to the Highlander.
Forget the Sienna- you cant buy one lol!
Chrysler is the worst out of all of them
I have both and I will always give to the highlander.

Test drove both car and both are very nice. Deal breaker is the Polite doesn’t have an armrest center console. I didn’t realize how much I use it but without it it felt very uncomfortable and I can imagine how bad it would be on long rides. If you’re not a driver who rest your right arm while you driving this might not matter.
I’m a Honda man all my life but Toyota this time really gave me a very intrigued situation wow
Love the pilot more. Bigger windows
hah finally a pilot fan
Yeah we traded our 2019 Highlander because of the visibility on a 2020 Pilot.
We have a 2020 pilot ex and its good but the highlander has way more visibility and its more reliable so the highlander wins, but pilot is still really good
@@muratismailov3424 I agree. I wish we would have looked into the Highlander but it was a lot bigger and a bit more expensive...
@@lucyv4416 ye but ay man the pilot was a moneys worth and its awd so it good no problems
Guess what everyone you can’t go wrong with EITHER ONE both are great Quality and Resale value Love my Honda and Toyota Vehicles

I have a 2016 Pilot Elite and checked out the new Highlander. I wanted to love it but the 3rd is still too small which is a dealbreaker. Really need to award more points to the Pilot for that as that is the whole purpose of a 3 row SUV. Plus the Pilot makes way better use of space with 12 cup holders in the 2nd and 3rd rows and 4 cup holders in the front. The flat center console is great storage as well. If you have kids, you know what I'm talking about. The Highlander shelf is a joke and can't hold a drink can it?
Hows that transmission?
@@andybub45 we had it replaced under warranty in 2017. No issues with the new one
Aaron H ....LOL. You’ll be bitting your tongue in the next few months. That transmission needs extra attention. Honda is rushing to keep up with Toyota and they continue to miss the mark. The Toyota Highlander is a work horse. The pilot is just a pretty prancing pony.
The pilot third row is definitely excellent. We drove one when we were looking at our family vehicle. Intimately decided on the highlander because it was quite a bit cheaper, but that pilot was extremely nice. In reality though I feel like in terms of class the pilot is more comparable to the sequoia, no? It certainly felt that way in terms of price and size.
The Honda is much less forgiving of missed maintenance than the toyota.
Pilot - Space, AWD system, iVTEC.
Highlander - Interior material and design, camera .
Front of the Highlander looks bland and the side body line is hideous imo. The Pilot is showing its age and next year should be the last of this design.
Honda Pilot is the best car because they have navigation build in and looks better way more speed and excelaration
Pilot has 280 HP
While the Highlander has 295 HP
At one point me and my mom were debating on whether we get the Highlander or Acura MDX which is similar to the pilot in some ways while still in the three row crossover segment the mdx still stays in the luxury bracket at first I wanted the mdx but my mom wasn’t really a fan of the design so I went back and forth with her about the mdx with safety,tech,value and after all that went into place we thought about getting an mdx technology because an advance would’ve cost around 57,000 dollars even though we thought about it in the end she still told me she wanted the Highlander so I decided to give it a try and was very impressed we talked about trim levels she said she wanted an xle I went with it because the xle came with safety features tech and value but at one point I stopped liking the Highlander until I realized it was shaped like a station wagon so after that my mom,dad and I were just talking when I started talking about Christmas telling my dad moms wants a Highlander I said if we get one can it be a 2019 Highlander limited because I liked the design of that one more until my mom finally pointed out that she doesn’t like used until I started getting tired of looking at the 2019 so I came back around to the design of the 2020 Highlander and realize I’ll give it a second chance now tomorrow we will be picking up our brand new 2020 Toyota Highlander platinum in ruby flare pearl from our local Toyota dealer thank you for the comparison car confections
Awesome video as always! I personally would take the Telluride!😸😻😸
Let us know how you like it in 5 years. Not sure I'm ready to trust a Kia past that. And I'm absolutely positive I can trust a Toyota and Honda WELL beyond five years. However, I would like to see the old adage, "You get what you pay for" to be proven wrong.
Surprised the rear seat entertainment was only a half point. That was the difference for us with 2 kids under 3
The Highlander exterior looks a lot better
And I think the opposite.
Webster Kollie I like the Honda exterior but Highlander interior all the way.
Webster Kollie very true
Highlander taillights look like a Lexus
Agreed, as well as the interior. I sat in one and was blown away. Then went and checked out the Honda, was not impressed at all. The interior is plain and pedestrian, but the exterior on the Pilot is hideous. It's a shame because I think the Pilot has a little more useful room in the back with all seats folded down, which is more what I need.
Will test drive both next week, but at this point I am totally in love with the Highlander
I have a 2019 highlander which I thought I'd keep for at least 10 years.. but the new models are VERY nice looking.; just very pricey vehicles. Idk I may refinance.
do video with lower prices trim.
This highlander makes the Lexus rx450 sport look like a Honda Toyota really stepped it up, I know I know this is silly but! There’s only 2 things I wish they had done to it, first leave the rear window to open and close like the model before it’s a great super handy feature, second there so much room there they really should have made the rims an inch bigger that body would have look even more aggressive with a tad larger rims
You should start doing diagonal tests to test out their awd systems.
The Honda Pilot has the better AWD.
I am a '21 Highlander Platinum. My cousin has the '20 Pilot. Taking them to a small trail and the Pilot did much much better.
Pilot’s AWD is better than Highlander because outside tire kicks in during cornering just like my Subaru
They both are awesome. Hig lander is completely redesign and the Pilot is not So, I don't think it's a fair compilation.
Telluride, palisade, and new highlander is best. Nothing compares to them in this segment.
In terms of interior space, the Volkswagen Atlas is quite roomy, too. However, Volkswagen's quality is subpar. Always has been.
Boys, I always think you're holding a small dog in your lap..........it's your mic cover! Think y'all should go ahead and name it. Maybe "Buffy"? Since she does buffer the sound. Hilarious!! I hope she's potty trained!!
Haha good name choice! Buffy the microphone 😂
Recalls coming on the Toyota in April. Watch Scotty Kilmers video. I have a 2016 Toyota Tundra and love it. I love Toyota’s. However after I drove the Highlander and the Pilot both the fully loaded options. I ended up buying the 2020 Honda Pilot Elite. Rode better and the seats didn’t feel cheap like the Highlander. The technology in Highlander is behind the times as well. There is a blue ray player for the rear passengers in the pilot as well. Comes in handy for road trips. Both are exceptional vehicles was just my preference
Brandon H what kind of recalls?
mct8888 they had a problem with there cooling tubs/containers when they were casting the engine blocks. Therefore some of them came out cracked or didn’t cast correctly causing leaks, and or compression failure. Go to Scotty Kilmers channel watch his videos.
Daniel Hernandez I did my own research. Had cash bought what I thought to be the best value after looking for over a year. And Scotty is pretty good at what he does. Wasn’t saying his word is bond. Just sayin..... from my own opinion what I bought from what I own and have test driven. Take it for what it is
Brandon H Did you personally hit this issue? What did you end up buying?
mct8888 I did not personally I just read about it. I have owned Toyota’s my whole life. My Tundra is one of my favorite vehicles I bought it brand new in 2016. Never an issue with it. I ended up buying a 2020 Honda Pilot Elite after test driving and looking for over a years time.
My 2020 Pilot drives like a dream, because of Covid it only has 5000 miles on it.
My 2020 Highlander looks kind-of like my 2016 Infinti QX60.
Wheels on HL are used to be on L rx350 Hybrid. Also, the front reminds me of older Hyundai SantaFe.
I hate, hate, hate the shifting buttons on the Pilot. I’d be afraid I’d spill something into them, or worse, accidentally push it while driving and screw up the transmission. Give me the stick shifter. I also love the heads up display on the Highlander.
For me when it comes to engine HONDA the new highlander is a good looking suv inside out, Pilot simple but sporty.
I think I was hit with sticker shock lol. Starting at $48k. Damn lol. We just bought a 2015 highlander with 35k miles on the odo for $22,000. I will say that I am rather jealous of the (extremely late to the party) addition of CarPlay and android auto, but that's nothing a head unit swap won't fix. Maybe in five years we will upgrade to the 2020 and save a boatload of cash 😆
I think u can't go wrong with either of them. I have 2016 EX-L pilot and I put around 43K miles with few long family trips and it still running like day 1 since I took out from the dealer. I remember when I bought it, I actually wanted the Highlander because I had a Toyota RAV4 and I wanted to maintain the reliability but the dealer didn't sell it in my country so I went with the Pilot because in 2016 it was even better than the Highlander with the amenities it offered specially with large cabin, easy access to 3rd row seat and sufficient cargo space with 3 seats are up.
2020 CRV vs RDX please
How did the braking performance compare?
I love the highlander
I don't need one but I'd prefer the Highlander if I were to choose from the two Decent comparison review
We had a 2019 Highlander SE and didn’t like it at all. The seats were extremely hard and it was unbelievably dated interior-wise. The touchscreen display was low-resolution and the backup camera quality was poor. The mirrors were too large and mounted to highly, making for poor visibility. The Highlander’s low seating position didn’t make matters better, either. The headlights were slightly better than the RAV4’s, but that doesn’t say much. To add to our frustration with the vehicle, our car was covered under the massive fuel pump recall, which doesn’t speak highly, considering how reliable people claim a Toyota is. Long story short, we traded on a Pilot Black Edition about a month and a half ago and love it. So comfortable! Would do it again in a heartbeat! We will never EVER purchase another Toyota again!
Lol that fuel pump was just a minor fix and wouldnt even take a day. Pilot has transmission issues and that could take a week to fix
Sean Villaruel our Pilot has had no issues whatsoever with the transmission at all. We still love it.
Sean Villaruel it had other things we weren’t happy with. That was just kind of the cherry-on-top, honestly.
Hey Guys...Happy weekend ! Ordered a new 2020 Highlander Platinum in the new Red :) Great video here !
I just took delivery on my wonderful Highlander XLE AWD in the same ruby flare pearl color. You're gonna love it!
Awesome! Congrats! 🎊
Can you message me how much you paid for it?
Thank much!!!
@@HieuNguyen-zz3bs the Highlander XLE base price was $39,600 plus tax, license & destination charge $42,800 aprox.
Highlander all day long inside and out. The more I look at the Highlander the prettier it looks by comparison.
Toyota Highlander 👍🏻
it gets uglier year by year
Quick minor correction, the highlander has remote start using the keyfob (no need for entune subscription) you press the lock button 3 times but hold on the 3rd press for like 8 seconds
According to what I understand from Toyota, after your subscription expires it will also stop working from the fob as well
My friend has a 2020 and his key fob lost subscription and remote start stopped on his but honda pilot has a separate button no subscription to autostart
I love the sleek and more sporty look of the Highlander. Honda Pilot designers need to go back to design board because to me, the design is old.
We have 2019 pilot touring, it feels way more spacious inside than a highlander and has way better visibility. The seating position is high and it almost feels like driving a truck. Way better imo
What many people don't understand the third row in the Highlander is useless and it's pretty much a four seat vehicle.
FACTS!!... they are both great vehicles but the pilot definitely feels more comfortable and the 3rd row seating is alot more spacious it comes down to style over substance with the Toyota.
The Highlander was the winner before you even started. The pilot was an automatic looser due to the push button transmission. Any vehicle with push button and or
dial transmissions will not be purchased by me. Good job, I love watching your videos.
Thank you!
Both are great SUV! Both got better "things" to each other.
I'd say depending on if you're a Toyota or Honda fan or which ever vehicles fits your needs, either vehicle is Awesome!!
I own a '21 Highlander and ride in a Pilot. Both awesome!! if I had the money, I'd buy both!!
The Pilot has more room and comfort but definitely the Highlander is the winner... ( I sell cars... 25 units per month and always I have complaints with Pilots with transmission ). Now Im looking a personal vehicle and Im buying the Highlander. Thank you for this video!!
Glad you enjoyed!
I bought a 2020 pilot exl with nav and res but stayed away from the touring ,black edition,and elite model do to the 9spd trans and stayed with the traditional 6spd in the exl model.and on both cars upper models have the dreaded autostart stop omg hate that sorry but doesn't save gas. I think of the starter when it's kicking on and off .and highlander 3rd row was a joke .my 8 year old daughter couldn't fit or me and I'm 6'4 ,but I fit in the pilot 3rd row .and the headroom wasn't good in the highlander but great in pilot.
Pilot needs a redesign badly.. its no longer top 3.
Play Doh this pilot was lackluster from its debut. Mediocre at best, and the optional transmission is a sore point. My favorite pilot was the first gen. The second one was cheap. And this one is unappealing on so many levels.
Mark Leckband first gen pilot is the ugliest of the 3 gens
It is gonna have a redesign this is probably the last year of this generation because they redesign every 5 years and refresh ever 3 years and this design was first released in 2016 so 2019 is already on its refresh and 2020 is on its second year of the refresh so probably 2021 the pilot will be redesigned let’s hope so
As much as I like the current look of The Pilot, it needs a redesign. I'm disappointed with the look of the current redesigned Highlander. I preferred the look of last gens Highlander more.
@@lifeevolution7016 2021 Pilot is a carry over. The redesign will be in the model year 2022.
Greetings from my Disneyland neighborhood here in Southern California. I absolutely LOVE the quality & performance of my new 2020 Highlander XLE AWD in Ruby flare pearl color! The gorgeous color looks like Dorothy's ruby slippers. Follow the yellow brick freeway!! Is there a Burger King in the land of Oz?! 😁🍔
Can you send pictures I am looking to buy that colour
@@bhupendraluhar I don't have photos. You can see it at your Toyota dealership.
any feedback on noise level inside the Highlander and Pilot? which one is quieter ride?
Check out our 2021 Full Reviews of both these vehicles for an official sound level reading 👍
I am try to decide between the pilot and Highlander ?
Wished I looked at the Highlander before making my purchase
why didn't you 😂
No you don’t, trust me. We love our Black Edition Pilot. Traded a 2019 Highlander for it and judging by that car, can’t imagine this being better than a pilot at all!
I really don't like what Toyota did with the center shelf. We have the '18 Highlander XLE and find that shelf is so convenient for charging phones, holding masks, and other essentials. The '20 has a split shelf which is inconvenient to use. I know they wanted to roll out a new generation, but this one doesn't do it for me. I will probably look for a '19 with low miles.
I would agree on this review. Will be looking forward to see what Honda has in store for an all new Pilot! Aaaaand MDX!!!
