  Tacoma mileage survey

I think you have to adjust those EPA ratings for the terrain in addition to the City vs Highway. My Honda pilot is rated at 18 to 22 mpg. I do get those mpg's but only when I drive on relatively flat terrain.

Good news and bad news, right now I am driving mostly local, not city, which means I have low annual mileage, but since my local terrain is up and down all the time I only get the city rating. So those nice EPA ratings for lighter vehicles will never be realized by me so the savings of swapping out my Tundra (14 - 17 mpg) is not so attractive.

Dk,

I always liked the 4 Runner but Toyota over the years has always struggled with either sluggish performance with gas guzzling or just gas guzzling on the 4 Runner.

  Tacoma mileage survey

I had a 94 Jeep Grand Cherokee before the 2000 Tundra, the last time I test drove the 4 Runner was 2000. The Pilot is a 2005. I have owned alot of Hondas, in 2000 I got two Toyotas, the Tundra Limited access cab and the Sienna , both with leather interior. Both very good cars, but I sort missed my Honda.

I think the Pilot is a great SUV and has all of the fit finish and quality of the Honda cars, has a great ride, lots of room. I would hands down buy it again.

The 4 WD is very good (probably not quite as good as the Jeep, but very little difference), the 4WD on the Tundra is wonderful if you can instantly turn it on in time. My wife did a 360 on my driveway on ice accelerating with the Tundra in 2 WD, so the Tundra part time 4wd is useless most of time and terrific if you know you about to drive thru 24" of snow which it can do quite nicely.

For my family where we live the Honda fulltime 4WD is the better option. The braking system on the Pilot is also the best I have driven. Excellent control in emergency stops without too much palpitation in the ABS. It makes dangerous stops look normal.
