Hello from central Ohio. I just discovered your RUclips channel and Instagram feed this evening. I have a ‘22 Ridgeline and I have been shopping for a ‘24 4Runner, but about a week ago I saw a Pilot Trailsport in a parking lot here and really like the look. I’ve done a lot of research and watched many videos about the vehicle since then, including a couple of yours this evening, and and it seems quite capable. With your family of 5 and all of your gear, I am just curious what the payload limit is of the Pilot Trailsport? Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank you.
Hey Matt. Thanks for following and the support. I can't think of the exact number of the payload at the moment, however, I have loaded it with a lot of weight on separate occasions. There is a bit of a drop on the rear but not a whole lot. I have seen some 4runners and Tacoma with a trailer and it also drops the rear. It all depends on how much "off roading" you will be doing and how much space you need in the interior.
Not bad for what is essentially a 3rd row soccer mom crossover. We just picked up a '25 Black Edition in the same color, Sonic Grey Pearl. I really wanted a Trailsport but the Wife didn't want to give up those additional tech/interior features that came on the Black Edition.
Any chance you can make a quick video on how you installed the fog lights 😅 , more than a few of us would appreciate it. I’m still sitting on the eBay package i bought scratching my head 😑..
I went with Inspired Rtt because of it's lightweight and quick deployment. Thus far it's been good. They have a new one that is made of carbon fiber and it's a hard shell, just as light. If you are looking for something simple and lightweight, I'd def recommend this.
Indeed it would. I have the 1.5 inch lift installed. And shortly after they came out with the 2.5inch. I currently can't afford to switch the kit right now.
Keep making videos brother they’re great

@@BFAAdventures thank you! Great points.
Great job and judgement. The pilot rock crawling is amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Yes I will do one.
How do you like the Inspired RTT? Would you recommend it?

Add HRG 2.5 inches lift will make a big difference

Good driving and spoting. Trailsport doing great.
Thanks. Kept in Trailsport mode, in standard option to keep it in 1st gear. Worked perfectly.
@@BFAAdventures just so you know the transmission can't hold 1st gear. It will typically shift around 6-7mph.
That is correct. But going up this uphill, never touched 6mph, well as far as I can tell. This felt more like crawling slowly over those boulders.
