That engine definitely seems happier at lower RPMs than the old V6 was, I remember I had V6 Highlander rental car a few years ago, and you would really have to string out that V6 to get torque, their wasn't a whole lot of acceleration going on below 3000RPM, the 8 speed would constantly downshift cause there wasn't a lot of low end torque, but this turbo 4 cylinder seems to perform very well under 3000RPM, it looks like it's got a good amount of torque between 2 and 3k RPM, it just looks smoother.
After watching this, I have zero regret buying my 2023 pilot. Other than the larger screen in the GH, Everything about the Pilot seems nicer. I have the Elite trim for reference
My family traded in our 17 Pilot Touring chose a 23 Palisade SEL as replacement over the 23 Pilot Touring because it seemed like there was a lot more features for the price (air cooled seats in back, bigger screen). It’s been great but the new Pilot was very nice too so I’m just curious what do you think of your Pilot overall so far?

Honda has a better interior, but there is a CVT and a stiffer suspension.
@@paparazzi8472 hate to break it to you but my 2023 pilot has a 10 speed transmission
@@paparazzi8472no v6 Honda has a cvt…

@@64Spokes I'm telling you right now the car in my garage has a 10 speed automatic transmission so stop your BS
Tank you
Toyota should make grand Highlander V6 3.0
Would love to see you do a video in the RAV4 XSE Hybrid
Great
👌
Can you do a 2024 Honda pilot EXL and a 2024 Volkswagen atlas se
Good
Where was filmed this review? In Winnipeg or Ottawa??
Michigan ya jefta
For 49k it shouldn’t be rattling that much… Toyota needs to step their game and stop being cheap
just cuz the rattling doesnt mean toyota is cheap, toyota is the most reliable brand and they can last over 200,000 miles with proper care
If this is the “Grand Highlander” then do you think it deserves a larger engine than a 4 cylinder, like say a v6 or better yet a v8?
Grand Highlander deserve a V6 not V8 since no one likes to pay for gas
I hate that they got rit of the v6
Hey buddie accelerate until the top.
