Honda hit a homerun with the design of the new Pilot and this blue color is tasteful!
I think you are so very right about that Bryan!
I just test drove one today. In the blue. It’s amazing!
Just picked up a 23 TrailSport last week loving it so far
Lucky
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!
That is so awesome to hear! Congrats!
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.
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!
I think you are so very right about that!
Agreed!
It's a great vehicle for so many out door activities but Honda didn't think it through... If I'm going camping I want to bring the whole family with me... Should be an 8 seater... Zonk they only seat 7
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.
Pilot always looking good with skyblue❣️
Yeah this color really pops for sure!
You always look good with sky blue
Hey Joe! I predict the 1 mil celebration coming soon. Will there also be a live q and A for this month as well 🤔
Fingers crossed my friend!
@@RaitisRides fingers 🤞
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.
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.
Fr, sucks Honda doesn’t offer it as an option on the Trailsport (to my knowledge), can only get it if you go for certain trims
I had to order the “cargo barrier”
Beautiful piece of technology in this pilot the color is absolutely amazing nice review joe!
Candy cigarette reference. That’s why you’re the best car reviewer Joe! 😄.
Thanks Ray for taking the time to say that!
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.
Are you sure that removable cargo cover can be hidden, because none of the reviewers are showing that is possible. Some said it couldn’t.
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?
LMFAO a candy cigarette pack 😂😭 I damn near lost it
I just reserved my 2023 Pilot Elite!! I’m so excited!!
Now that is awesome! Congrats!
You could always be a pitchman for hostess twinkies commercials...great vid review as always.
That is so awesome of you to say Todd!
I love the Pilot's V6 Engine, very reliable and tested!
The new v6 from the Pilot as a few flaws according to a mechanic that might cause issues in the future
Nissan v6 is reliable
You’re my new favorite ! Pulling out the old school FLAVA FLAVE!!
Raiti holding it down for the Florida peeps and beyond. I'm highly, highly considering one.
I’m looking forward to the future of this segment. Waiting on redesign of 4runner and Acadia
Those are some big names for sure Anthony!
me 2 , nice if the Arcadia went to rear wheel drive
It's so awesome that you finally went on throttle with the blue honda pilot trailsport🤯🤯
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.
🔥 definitely taking any Honda over any Nissan … they did great on this love that color 😍
just love the color, and new style of this suv, no more van look
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!
That color is 💙🔥🔥🔥
It pops in the sun!
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.
They make some of the best ATVs in the world. Honda knows a thing or two about off road. I would definitely buy one
This Pilot TrailSport is outstanding, but I just have to go with the Pathfinder Rockcreek
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
Pilot wybierz 🇵🇱
Is the turn signal light LED or an old fashion bulb ? I can't tell because you don't use turn signals.
Good question
Can you please do review on 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander.
Thanks 🙏
Just picked up mine today from the dealership and it awesome 😎
This trailsport is a step in the right direction for the segment, but I need to see a few upgrades in order to pay $50K for this snail. I'm agreeing with all the little things mentioned at this price point like the missing HUD, including an analog display,the rear wiper, and the smaller infotainment display.
The rear AC controls and variety of power delivery options for the passengers is a really nice touch.
You get a V6 that will run forever and overall quality that you can’t get in a Kia or Nissan
I like the window sunshades and pano roof a lot. I miss the ventilated seats.
@@wjkrug well said Bill and absolutely true!
I like the exterior of Pilot, and interior of Telluride.
If that two mixed together, it'll sure dominate the SUV market.
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!
I just bought the Trailsport 23, I was split between Trailsport and the Palisade, the Palisade is definitely quiter and gets a good amount of tech for the money but the metal seems flimsy and I also drove the 2020 models to see how they age and I got a lot of squeak and grunts from the breaks. The safety features are exactly the same except Hyundai gives you a blindspot camera while changing lanes which is neat. I bought the Pilot cause of the built quality just tap the body and you’ll see, also the off road capability , the transmission, the time tested engine and the safety features won me over.
@Shandilya love the '23 Trailsport! Congrats!!
Question: would you say the lane centering/lane keep assist of the Pilot is as good as the Palisade? Looking for solid driver assistance for freeway driving. Thanks!
@@R56Cooper It actually is also as a bonus you can adjust the level of intervention in the Honda.
But the best thing would be to test drive both of them.
@@R56Cooper Also 🙏🏼 Thank you.
@Shandilya that's nice to have that versatility with the driver aid settings-- definitely will have to go for a test drive!
Thanks Joe you helped me decide definitely Honda Pilot TrailSport
Less than 7K subs until 1 million. Let's get Joe his 1 million...
Thanks Steven for being super supportive! I know we will do it!
I want the baseball that bounced off Jose Consecos head for a homerun! I wonder if he'll sign it for me?
Looking at this and new 2024 Santa Fe sport. Similar in price and specs any peoples thoughts? Thanks.
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?
Ventilated seats are standard on the elite trim
@@normanli7085 yep
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🙂👍
Good call Martin!
@@RaitisRides thank you sir. You have a job that I've always dreamed of but I've been watching you and see the vehicles and riding in the vehicles so that's good enough for me without having to go out and buy one 😁👍😂🤣😂 Saving my money for retirement 👍
🇺🇸 *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 🇺🇸
We love bringing it to you Susan!
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work and I love the video lot everyday real true 👍💯💯💯💯
After having air conditioned seats I will never own another vehicle without them.
11:30: you make a joke about finger prints on piano black and behold there's a giant finger print showing
Raiti Rules
This really isn't too shabby by Honda.
Yeah we all need a "rugged muscular" looking vehicle to go get groceries at the supermarket.
Looks nice, but it's very underwhelming overall. The engine needs another 100hp to be relevant.
I love my blue TrailSport. I Grandkids name and stickered it with Bluey stickers.
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.
Joe, on you 1 millionth subscriber,, review a million dollar vehicle!!
I like the 10 speed automatic transmission on the Honda Pilot TrailSport compared to the 9 speed automatic transmission on Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek.
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!
Absolutely yes 👍
I am so glad that you approve!
I like the pilot it’s a cool suv 👍👍
I am so glad to hear that!
@@RaitisRides 😊
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’!
Seats are great….noise from engine not great and the interior cabin is not as quiet as it should be either….but love this trim. I drove it and the steering is really on the light side as well
love the color!
It really works on this SUV!
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.
He’s subtweeting hard on Kia 😂
LOL you know it!
How is the front seat for tall drivers ?
Nice placement of the Type R!
When are you going to test drive the 2024 Toyota Tacoma Limited /Trail Hunter/ TRD Sport 4x4??
In the next few months!
How come you arent saying if the corner curtains are functional anymore?
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
It has a v6 still, I’m sold
Would you say the 3rd row of the Pilot is the most spacious of the mid segment? I can’t afford a full size Yukon/Suburban and want to know the best 3rd row for a pair of 5’9 and growing teens.
Yes this is at the top end of this segment
I am 5’ 10” and with the 2nd row at it’s furthest position, I could sit in the 3rd row. The knee height for me wasn’t an issue, had space between my knee and the back of the second row.
Joe is 6’ 0” min and he has space. I think it’s a good compromise instead of the full size.
I'm getting this model in 3-4 years? Just got a 22' Pilot Trailsport.
I just want all the off road goodies (and engine and transmission), on the 2024 Passport Trailsport 🙂
We are almost at 1 million subscribers. I hope joe got a something huge in store for us.
You know I do man! Stay tuned!
@@RaitisRides can’t wait to see it.
No engine temperature gauge in the instrument cluster on a $50K vehicle? Are you kidding me?
When this first came out Honda was claiming 116 cubic feet of cargo space, easily best in class. However a tape measure exposed that as ridiculous as it is much smaller than a Traverse. Now they are claiming 87, which seems closer to reality. Passenger space is also not that good as the seats are low to the floor.
Admirable
Wow...nice suv...thanks for sharing....
I'm planning on afforded one of them Joe.
Does it use Honda's great VCM. That way you can get cylinder misfires and have it re-ringed in 5 years.
VCM has been fine for years now, but if you want to delete it you can buy a module and disable it yourself for about $50
Timing chain or timing belt?🔧⚙⛓
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.
I think they didn't want to step on the MDXs toes so kept that feature out.
@@almassengale it’s weird because the Accord was stepping on the TLX’s toes because it has a even larger screen than the TLX now.
@@almassengale I think they need to not worrying about stepping on toes and being competitive. A 9" screen is embarrassing for a 52k suv.
boost blue is.pretty close to this color. buy yeah...love the color
when 2024 available? thanks
The fingerprint on the door panel gloss black - point proved!
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!
this model has much softer drving dynamics
Really love the new Pilot. To me it looks like an improvement over the last gen. But still using a timing belt? Cmon Honda. That's an automatic $1500 minimum every 100k between changing that belt/water pump parts and labor. 😮
That is a very good point Brian!
Joe made a hard left when went in on Canseco. 😂
We got the 23 touring,don’t not regret it
Honda/acura been on fire with the designs lately
Love the exterior styling. But I'm not a fan of infotainment screens that look like they were just plopped on as an afterthought
Finally 💯🙏
Yes sir Jimmy!
LOVE THAT COLOR!
Answer to the video title: yes, yes it is. Just saved you 15 minutes
nice like the large cargo bay wish there was a 2row opt for us who have no kids , I get car sick just thinking of siting in the 3rd row cruves , freeway clover leafs , there no OS handle, no door to open, no window to roll down ,one is trapped. how do you get out or open a door to escape , do like the under floor locker , to hide goodies cameras , I pads, drones out of sight
Every food joke in your videos make me hungry
3rd row reclines as well. Trail sport does not have 2nd row middle seat to remove nor ventilate seats
Beautiful ❤
2023 Honda Pilot TrailSport is better SUV to BUY than a Nissan.
Honda over Nissan, all day every day. The color is nice but I prefer something different.
I know this is one of those love it or hate it colors that is for sure!
@@RaitisRides I like the color I just don't think it's a good fit for this vehicle.
