Is the 2023 Honda Pilot TrailSport a better SUV to BUY than a Nissan Pathfinder? 

Honda hit a homerun with the design of the new Pilot and this blue color is tasteful!

Just picked up a 23 TrailSport last week loving it so far

Shout out to Raiti's Rides for having nearly a million subs and they still respond us common folk. It goes to show how humble you are. To a million subs and beyond.. or whatever buzz said.

Seriously, Hostess should be thanking Raiti for the promotion of Twinkies, I have reintroduced this treat into my snack rotation because of these reviews.

Even though I haven't been impressed with the Passport, Pilot, or Ridgeline Trailsport vehicles, I definitely enjoy your commentary on all of those videos. They crack me up and still provide valuable insight on each vehicle. Thx Raiti and crew.

I finally get to leave a “ just got one” comment. Picked up a touring trim yesterday to go with my 2016 accord (which I’ll be giving my son soon) and I absolutely LOVE IT!

Pilot always looking good with skyblue❣️

Joe, no joke saw one of these yesterday while at a stop. The color is what made me pay attention, I knew it was a Pilot but didn’t know it was a trailsport. I love this color and it’s actually a really good looking SUV. The tech in it is more than fine. I have a huge screen in my current vehicle (22 Edge) but CarPlay isn’t the entire screen, a clear high resolution 9 inch screen is plenty as is the combo analog/digital instrument cluster.

Beautiful piece of technology in this pilot the color is absolutely amazing nice review joe!

It's so awesome that you finally went on throttle with the blue honda pilot trailsport🤯🤯

I think the Trailsport version will become very popular with ‘active families’ or people who have a farm or dirt road they travel sometimes. Good for hauling stuff or kids, and still having that capability. Props to Honda for making everyone happy!

Candy cigarette reference. That’s why you’re the best car reviewer Joe! 😄.

Just picked up mine today from the dealership and it awesome 😎

You’re my new favorite ! Pulling out the old school FLAVA FLAVE!!

Thanks Joe you helped me decide definitely Honda Pilot TrailSport

One thing you missed: the removable and double sided cargo load floor can go down into the bottom of the floor just like the last generation. If you have the other trim levels with the cargo dividers under there for the middle seat, those are also removable and the load floor can be put down there in those trims also. And if you have a trim with the place for the middle seat, there will still be some room under the floor when it's in the low position. I see a lot of reviewers miss this, and I never fail to point it out any time I see it.

That color is 💙🔥🔥🔥

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work and I love the video lot everyday real true 👍💯💯💯💯

I love look of new pathfinder and most vehicles nowadays, but i would choose pilot trailsport if different have mdx already and waiting for Ridgeline trailsport edition...any ideas on Ridgeline trailsport edition yet?

Raiti holding it down for the Florida peeps and beyond. I'm highly, highly considering one.

I wish they put this color on other trims or at the very least had the removable middle seat in this trim. Captains chairs only second row does not work for my needs but that color is easily the best Pilot color.

🔥 definitely taking any Honda over any Nissan … they did great on this love that color 😍

Bangin' color!!! Great design, but wish it was higher off the ground. I can't get it out of my head the front looks like an Explorer & the back looks like an Ascent 😂. Bucket seat only as 2nd row is a HUGE zonk. Love your videos!

just love the color, and new style of this suv, no more van look

I just reserved my 2023 Pilot Elite!! I’m so excited!!

Raiti Rules

They make some of the best ATVs in the world. Honda knows a thing or two about off road. I would definitely buy one

Great review as always. When it comes to this vehicle, it has a lot of good features, but to be considered an off road, it needs at least an inch more of ground clearance. 8.2 inches of ground clearance is not enough for any kind of off roading. Personally i don't care about 3 row off roader, or at least Honda should have putted the third seat in the second row, so once we flattened the third row it's all flat. Ventilated seats would be nice too.

LMFAO a candy cigarette pack 😂😭 I damn near lost it

Admirable

Hey Joe! I predict the 1 mil celebration coming soon. Will there also be a live q and A for this month as well 🤔

Nice placement of the Type R!

You could always be a pitchman for hostess twinkies commercials...great vid review as always.

Wow...nice suv...thanks for sharing....

Joe - I MUCH prefer when the rear cargo area has a lid that you can remove. 99 times out of 100 I don't need the lid; just leave it in my garage. Much prefer to have a ton of storage space.

love the color!

LOVE THAT COLOR!

Absolutely yes 👍

Amazing

I love my blue TrailSport. I Grandkids name and stickered it with Bluey stickers.

Can you use the adaptive cruise next time so we can see how it drives with it. With any car or truck that you use

I love the Pilot's V6 Engine, very reliable and tested!

Finally 💯🙏

Nice video

I’m looking forward to the future of this segment. Waiting on redesign of 4runner and Acadia

Can you please do review on 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander. Thanks 🙏

Beautiful ❤

Another great video. The only thing I am going to zonk is no gear shift do not like the push button transmission!!! Love the color🙂👍

I recently bought a 2023 Trail Sport and it’s fantastic, however there are some things that I’m not happy about. 1. I don’t like that it’s not flat when all the rear seats are down being it has a huge gap due to the rear passenger captains chairs. 2. The mitigation safety features are completely annoying and unnecessary for attentive drivers. Good thing is they can be shut off. 3. The Auto Idle Stop is absolutely ridiculous and I doubt it saves much fuel compared to the cost of replacing the battery and starter more frequently. It needs to be over-written every time you start the vehicle(Good Grief), unless you drive in sport mode full time. 4. That silver hitch cover is horrible looking like a diaper, I immediately replaced it with a black version as it should have been done!

Less than 7K subs until 1 million. Let's get Joe his 1 million...

It has a v6 still, I’m sold

After having air conditioned seats I will never own another vehicle without them.

Wonderful

We got the 23 touring,don’t not regret it

Don't need a 3 row, so waiting for the updated Passport Trailsport. Hopefully it will have the same offroad capabilities, and increased ground clearance.

I'm planning on afforded one of them Joe.

boost blue is.pretty close to this color. buy yeah...love the color

Joe, on you 1 millionth subscriber,, review a million dollar vehicle!!

Very great

This really isn't too shabby by Honda.

I'm getting this model in 3-4 years? Just got a 22' Pilot Trailsport.

I love that blue

Looks nice, but it's very underwhelming overall. The engine needs another 100hp to be relevant.

I want the baseball that bounced off Jose Consecos head for a homerun! I wonder if he'll sign it for me?

why is Raiti calling it "turn singles" instead of turn signals all the time? Literally in every single video to the point where I started doubting my own understanding of the word and I just had to Google it.

Hey Joe, thanks for what you do. Big fan. I have a 2022 passport trailsport, should I go pilot or stay with my passport?? I feel that the passport has more of a muscular front design. Not sure I am undecided… help please

I like the exterior of Pilot, and interior of Telluride. If that two mixed together, it'll sure dominate the SUV market.

Sweet

How is the front seat for tall drivers ?

I like it!!!

Love the exterior styling. But I'm not a fan of infotainment screens that look like they were just plopped on as an afterthought

How come you arent saying if the corner curtains are functional anymore?

Love this new '23 Pilot Trailsport Joe! Question: is this version of Honda Sensing (adaptive cruise + lane centering) as compentant and enjoyable as KIA/Hyundai's Highway Driving Assist? Looking for the system with the best lane centering + adaptive cruise. Thanks again!

Timing chain or timing belt?🔧⚙⛓

The last Pilot looked like a weird minivan this design is way better. Glad it's still a V6 not a turbo 4 engine.

I’m likin that color also joe no flat black think god & the back wipers should be tucked in

Looking at this and new 2024 Santa Fe sport. Similar in price and specs any peoples thoughts? Thanks.

Yeah we all need a "rugged muscular" looking vehicle to go get groceries at the supermarket.

The fingerprint on the door panel gloss black - point proved!

You Lori and Steven are awesome,I would go with the pilot in red or silver,my only zonks are that new infotainment system from the new accord and ventilated seats are not there,feel free to correct me if ventilated seats are an available option. And any word on the 2024 Camry?

Honda/acura been on fire with the designs lately

Your Twinkie size assessment is wildly off kilter Joe! I recommend a trip to Hostess to recalibrate! You could easily get twice as many boxes in that trunk cavity!

I like the pilot it’s a cool suv 👍👍

If the 2024 Honda ridgeline has that front end and a two inch lift kit. I'm gonna buy that ridgeline.

This Pilot TrailSport is outstanding, but I just have to go with the Pathfinder Rockcreek

this model has much softer drving dynamics

I like the 10 speed automatic transmission on the Honda Pilot TrailSport compared to the 9 speed automatic transmission on Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek.

We are almost at 1 million subscribers. I hope joe got a something huge in store for us.

🇺🇸 *LOVE this NEW Pilot TrailSport* !! *100000% better than the Nissan* !! *This Pilot has competitive pricing* !! *REAL buttons are terrific* !! *Fabulous content Joe and Steven* !! #RaitisRides 🇺🇸

When are you going to test drive the 2024 Toyota Tacoma Limited /Trail Hunter/ TRD Sport 4x4??

Is the turn signal light LED or an old fashion bulb ? I can't tell because you don't use turn signals.

Great review as always. When it comes to this vehicle, it has a lot of good features, but to be considered an off road, it needs at least an inch more of ground clearance. 8.2 inches of ground clearance is not enough for any kind of off roading. Personally i don't care about 3 row off roader, or at least Honda should have putted the third seat in the second row, so once the third row is flattened there is no gap in the middle. Ventilated seats would be nice too

Answer to the video title: yes, yes it is. Just saved you 15 minutes

I drove one of these a month ago, same color and only one at my dealer. I’m not getting a new vehicle until next May. But I like this, feel like Honda held a few things back such as those ventilated seats, larger infotainment screen and gauge cluster, and the drivers Heads-Up Display. The same things Joe pointed out. But the seats are very comfortable upfront at least, the ride is great just like Joe pointed out. I realize Honda had to give us the most necessary things and not include other features or we’d be spending $55,000 instead of $50k. I do love the second row sun shades and captains chair and pano roof a lot. I wonder if the speakers are great in that Audio system. I didn’t get to test them. Also, that gear shifter takes some getting used to. Nice overall effort from Honda- I like the rugged design so much. And that blue color is poppin’!

He’s subtweeting hard on Kia 😂

Very attractive SUV. Honda is now a really nice brand.

I can't imagine that it would be hard for Honda to upgrade the screen to a 12.3". It looks like it was designed for it initially. Maybe even something that could be a dealer add on.

Every food joke in your videos make me hungry

when 2024 available? thanks

No engine temperature gauge in the instrument cluster on a $50K vehicle? Are you kidding me?
