That was both surprising and impressive. I didn’t realize Honda made the Pilot so capable. The body shape has grown more interesting again, after what I felt were some bland designs. It was fun seeing the red dirt and natural environs of Sedona instead of high end spas and zillion dollar homes. It was also fun having Charlie along, including getting his take on some of the vehicle features (partially filling in for the necessary absence of Science Sarah). Also fun seeing TFL Tommy’s cameo (not Tommy).
I love how you're so girly, but completely knowledgeable in mechanics and willing to get into it and kinda show and teach us that are dummies in this stuff. And your whole sarcastic vibe is a huge bonus. Love your videos. Thank you
I normally end my days with the hardest-working CZcamsr but today I'm blessed with getting to start my day with Miss Sarah. It's going to be a great day!
Great to see you out at press events! Always good to take a break from the usual shop stuff.. I'm actually surprised the Pilot can do any of that stuff.. As you mentioned, it'll be used as a family hauler primarily... Good to see it's capable if things turn ugly.
This is so nice to see Honda putting in so much thought into the off-road segment. They’re really getting something in line for everyone: R, Si, Sport or Touring Civic, Accord in sporty or hybrid trim, CRV all NA or hybrid, HR-V, Passport, Pilot, Ridgeline and now something to conquer the meatballs! And did your nails match the car? Fantastic.
I replaced the stock tires on my wife's 4Runner with those Continentals. Almost 40,000 miles later they're still in great shape. Would absolutely recommend if you want something a little beefier than road tires but don't want to put KO2s or the like on your vehicle.
Appreciate the Isuzu shoutout. Loved my early 90's Rodeo. V6 "off-road" pkg felt way more capable than I ever asked it to be in the flatlands of Illinois. One of my favorite memories is my kids pronounced it Wo Dee Wo.
I’ve gone with a new Subaru Outback Touring XT. For the $$$ it provides just as much if not more cargo space, great seating and safety features with great off-road abilities.
wow... thanks for bringing back the nostalgia @10:22. I actually worked at SIA (Subaru Isuzu Automotive) in IN. I worked on the final assembly teams for the 95.5 and 96 Rodeos... Hadn't thought about that truck in forever!! Love the videos! Really appreciate all your hard work and effort in making them. :)
Sarah is the kind of girl that will go with you to Pull & Save on a Sunday so you can get extra parts for all your " projects ". I just luv that about her. One of my favorite past times is walking the junkyards looking for spares to keep my old cars going.
This was very informative and practical since i was debating on choosing a new vehicle and this is more suited to Canadian Winter with the type of changes they did and the reliability of Honda technology. This debate between this and a Toyota Equivalent aka the Highlander is really helping. Thank you 😀
I don't have a long history with Honda autos but I do with the bikes. Honda's philosophy has always been to do everything very well and not have a standout in any one area. I drove one of the 1st Ridgeline pickups and found that it carried that line of engineering.
I love your style! You are so cute, funny which makes it easy to watch the whole video without the monitone boredome that happens with other videos! Great job.
I don't go off road on purpose. That said, if given a choice in a particular vehicle, I would choose the off road version for many reasons. There are some negatives to that choice but I believe there are more positives. Nice Review!
The removable fender well is necessary to get access to the timing belt and water pump. Previous gen service interval was 125k miles if I'm not mistaken.
I'm so happy that all my favorite car youtubers have attended this Honda event. Sarah, the Topher, and Tedward...there is nothing more I could wish for in terms of getting coverage on a new and exciting model.
"You can tell that its good off road by the way the tire is." 🤭Thank you for bringing some levity to the stressful proposition of buying a new car. Awesome video!
Liked it, thanks! Any first impressions vs. the Ridgeline? You were kind of blown away how the Ridgeline just casually ate up your worst torture climb. Looking forward to the full nerd-out, having a compare/contrast, and seeing if the Pilot can match the Ridgeline. Stay cool.
Sonoma-n-Tuned, it’s nice to see other parts of Arizona. The red clay contrasts nicely with that paint job. Looks like a surprisingly capable off-roader.
The Pilot has come a long way. The one Honda built say 10 years ago wouldn't have been able to do any of this. A little off topic but the one thing that I'm a little surprised that Honda never did was develop a V-8 especially when their rivals had one.
Always a pleasure to see one of your reviews. It was like usual, very informative and very entertaining. Great fun to watch and learn about a new vehicle. Very Bueno! Thank you Sarah.
Wow it's still daylight here in the UK and there's a Sarah-n-Charlie vid! Would like to see you do a normal review but this was a very interesting ad hoc take. 🙂🙃🙂🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧
By far the best review so far. Got a Ridgeline a year ago. Looks like it's already time to trade it in. Thank you for the honest review and full of great information.
complex design , and air flow mass sensor , is interesting spot , check again . and if you get the chance , please check in the sand , awd suv mostly fail in sand , like beach drive etc .
Hey Sarah, that’s great Honda addressed the overheating issue or at least I hope so it certainly seems a lot more legit. Big fan of Honda, even though I’ve never actually owned one if I didn’t have to have a full size 4 Wheel Drive truck I honestly think I would be driving a Ridgeline only because I can’t fit in a Tacoma😢 absolutely beautiful trail there. Look awesome on the video.🐧🐧🐧👍(The three penguins are for luck)
Finally!!!! Honda got rid of their 30 year contract with ZF transmission made by Germany. This is the one major flaw for all Hondas is this transmission; it slips, jerks and grinds and it is brand new!!! Thank goodness for this change!!!!!!
Had a 05 Pilot, V6 ran strong. The scary issue was with the brake system. Reported more than once to a dealer, not corrected. It also would do this slow crawl from a stop at times. (The owners manual talked about a slow mode, not sure what was up.
Well, that was a nice surprise - did not expect a new video untill tomorrow night , and now I get a new one the evening before I thought I would - happying! Cool review - and the landscape was amazing!!! Would love to you mountainbiking there, some day. Thank you for what you do and Stay Awesome!
I want to see the video of Charlie hanging out with the TFL dudes! The camera angle at 4:26 was perfect to show how steep the hill was. Can you set your camera up like that to show the steepness of the hill you use on your tests?
I think its funny you are talking about red velvet cake. Thats the cake i bought myself for my birthday Jan 25th the day of this video released the 24th Jan. funny
Finally! A heated steering wheel button on the steering wheel. I've ranted in the past that the element is there, the wiring is there; why in the world put the button on a screen in the dash?
Hopefully you will have a chance to do a full in shop review. I’m a little curious about the towing capabilities. Since its an option in drive modes. With the new V6 and rear drive line changes, it probably tow’s well. Nice vehicle overall. Thank you kind Lady.
I always find Sarah’s reviews unbiased and I come away with a sense of having had a virtual test ride and inspection. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
I was most impressed by the embroidered Trail Sport in the wheels :D
Charlie is always a great addition to the videos
Agree!
@throttlewatch4614 - agreed. Young Charlie

Happy Tuesday Sarah!!!
Early Sarah usually means an out of town review of a new vehicle, and always a welcome surprise. 😁
Stay excellent!!!😎
Great to see you out at press events! Always good to take a break from the usual shop stuff..
I'm actually surprised the Pilot can do any of that stuff.. As you mentioned, it'll be used as a family hauler primarily... Good to see it's capable if things turn ugly.
Absolutely brilliant filming Sarah, the backdrops really made the shots pop out. A really great choice to film in that area. Thanks.
I didn’t choose it, Honda did. Thank them lol
Someone was not paying any attention at all, or they would have heard/seen that this was a press event.
Sarah and Coffee first thing in the morning. Happy 🎉❤😊
This is so nice to see Honda putting in so much thought into the off-road segment. They’re really getting something in line for everyone: R, Si, Sport or Touring Civic, Accord in sporty or hybrid trim, CRV all NA or hybrid, HR-V, Passport, Pilot, Ridgeline and now something to conquer the meatballs! And did your nails match the car? Fantastic.
Always love the videos, always like Charlie's comments, they are insightful
I replaced the stock tires on my wife's 4Runner with those Continentals. Almost 40,000 miles later they're still in great shape. Would absolutely recommend if you want something a little beefier than road tires but don't want to put KO2s or the like on your vehicle.
WooHoo 🥳 an early morning Sarah surprise 😊♥️
Thanks for the info on the diff temp Charlie!
Appreciate the Isuzu shoutout. Loved my early 90's Rodeo. V6 "off-road" pkg felt way more capable than I ever asked it to be in the flatlands of Illinois. One of my favorite memories is my kids pronounced it Wo Dee Wo.
It’s always really interesting when you get to go on these manufacturer events.
They’re a nightmare to try and film in such a short amount of time.
I’ve gone with a new Subaru Outback Touring XT. For the $$$ it provides just as much if not more cargo space, great seating and safety features with great off-road abilities.
wow... thanks for bringing back the nostalgia @10:22. I actually worked at SIA (Subaru Isuzu Automotive) in IN. I worked on the final assembly teams for the 95.5 and 96 Rodeos... Hadn't thought about that truck in forever!! Love the videos! Really appreciate all your hard work and effort in making them. :)
I've been thinking about a Pilot but I'd love to get that Trailsport for my wife; it looks quite capable. Always good to see Charlie participating...
IMO get the elite and add on the offroad stuff to your liking.
Great review, as always! Glad Charlie got to tag along with you!
another excellent review type thingy Sarah, thank you! good to see and hear Charlie's comments 🤗🤗
Another great video from my favorite CZcamsr.
Sarah….always impressed with how knowledgeable you are about the vehicles. Also enjoy your presentation.
Kurt

Well said
My Gen2 Ridgeline has been fantastic! Hard to find anything to complaint about.
I love your style! You are so cute, funny which makes it easy to watch the whole video without the monitone boredome that happens with other videos! Great job.
I love that they brought back the box style instead of that hideous egg shaped soccer mom style
the off-road test was done in some really beautiful terrain, wow.
I enjoy your quirky, silly sense of humor! The car stuff is cool, too.
I don't go off road on purpose. That said, if given a choice in a particular vehicle, I would choose the off road version for many reasons. There are some negatives to that choice but I believe there are more positives. Nice Review!
Always be ready for the zombie apocalypse
Looks like a great family hauler and light weekend adventure mountain bike hauler.
Perfect thing to watch while eating lunch. Thanks Sarah!
The removable fender well is necessary to get access to the timing belt and water pump. Previous gen service interval was 125k miles if I'm not mistaken.
Yepper. Spot on.
I'm so happy that all my favorite car youtubers have attended this Honda event. Sarah, the Topher, and Tedward...there is nothing more I could wish for in terms of getting coverage on a new and exciting model.
Sarah: Lift? I don't need no stinkin lift!
Awesome review as always, Sarah!
"You can tell that its good off road by the way the tire is." 🤭Thank you for bringing some levity to the stressful proposition of buying a new car. Awesome video!
Yep, definitely off the road!
WOW ! Sarah field work..Scenery is great too !
Points I remember from this video are nubbins and great barbecue in Georgia 😂
Don't forget Sarah.
I love those back up lamps they sure fit nice and look real nice
The Conti's are pretty decent tires. Better offroad capability than the regular all seasons that come on most SUV's
Agree.Trying to do it all usually means it can't do one thing well.
Liked it, thanks! Any first impressions vs. the Ridgeline? You were kind of blown away how the Ridgeline just casually ate up your worst torture climb. Looking forward to the full nerd-out, having a compare/contrast, and seeing if the Pilot can match the Ridgeline. Stay cool.
This is the first time i heard an American say "Aluminium" instead of "Aluminum" 🙂regards from Germany, love your vids^^
Sonoma-n-Tuned, it’s nice to see other parts of Arizona. The red clay contrasts nicely with that paint job. Looks like a surprisingly capable off-roader.

I love that there is a cup holder and a snorkel tube in one
Always a pleasure to see one of your reviews. It was like usual, very informative and very entertaining. Great fun to watch and learn about a new vehicle. Very Bueno! Thank you Sarah.
Sarah, I'm a car enthusiast just like you, and Honda is my favorite brand. I drive a 2005 Acura RSX Type S with a 6 speed manual transmission.
Wow it's still daylight here in the UK and there's a Sarah-n-Charlie vid!
Would like to see you do a normal review but this was a very interesting ad hoc take. 🙂🙃🙂🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧
..it was at a launch event, I had about an hour to film this. My normal reviews take two days and require me being in my shop.
By far the best review so far. Got a Ridgeline a year ago. Looks like it's already time to trade it in. Thank you for the honest review and full of great information.
complex design , and air flow mass sensor , is interesting spot , check again .
and if you get the chance , please check in the sand , awd suv mostly fail in sand , like beach drive etc .

This new tech should make the Ridgeline a proper all terrain vehicle!
It's cool how car CZcamsrs all kinda hang out together at these press events. I'd ask which TFL guys but there's like a hundred of them lol
Looked to me like it was Kase at the side of the trail with the camera
Bonus points to Sarah for calling out SUVs as glorified mini-vans.
Fourth. Better than morning coffee
Finally!!!! Honda got rid of their 30 year contract with ZF transmission made by Germany. This is the one major flaw for all Hondas is this transmission; it slips, jerks and grinds and it is brand new!!! Thank goodness for this change!!!!!!
Great job on the video Sarah! Thanks for making it.
Miss those old Isuzu trucks and SUV's. My dad had a Red 1st gen Rodeo with manual locking hubs. That thing was a tank and ran forever.
Had a 05 Pilot, V6 ran strong. The scary issue was with the brake system. Reported more than once to a dealer, not corrected. It also would do this slow crawl from a stop at times. (The owners manual talked about a slow mode, not sure what was up.
You are a very smart cookie
thanks thats what i call a professional presented test no bullshit 💯💯💯💯💯
You ARE AWESOME!
Another great review Sarah! Now if Honda would only bring back the Element properly equipped to compete with the Bronco that would be cool.
Currently driving a 2nd Gen Pilot, glad to know that the new version meets your approval. Might have to look into it when I upgrade.
Same here!! 2nd Gens still the best in my book.
@@gearheadgregwi I really like mine!
@@mrdorkomatic they're the Jeep-est generation
OMG, did I seriously see a Honda on Broken Arrow trail? Impressive.......Did you take them down Devil's Staircase?
Well, that was a nice surprise - did not expect a new video untill tomorrow night , and now I get a new one the evening before I thought I would - happying! Cool review - and the landscape was amazing!!! Would love to you mountainbiking there, some day. Thank you for what you do and Stay Awesome!
Heck yes! Glad you got to get out into some neature in beautiful Sedona.
It's great to hear Charlie!
Knowledge and beauty
I want to see the video of Charlie hanging out with the TFL dudes!
The camera angle at 4:26 was perfect to show how steep the hill was. Can you set your camera up like that to show the steepness of the hill you use on your tests?
You always do a great job on your car reviews, Keep up the great work Sarah.
angel pound cake is on fire with the graphics.
Another great video to enjoy, thanks. I only regret the Honda Pilot is not available in Australia.
Yeeeeeee - and yes, i typed heatelated. Also Jamie O'Neal. You wore your serious winter coat, Thank You Sarah.
Huge upgrade from a Family hauler to something that can be used offroad. Great review !
Hi, You were super quick to film and edit this video in just a few days and publish it so early in the morning. Have a great day with TomCelica.
Haha, thanks I just skipped sleeping last night instead. 😴
Looks like a well built unit!!! 👌🇨🇦
Wow this impressive. Honda has always had my curiosity but this latest generation of Hondas has my attention
Love this chic... gorgeous and smart❤
Great job Sarah! Thank you!
As a Nintendo fan, it was a cool edit to see the "multilink" edit you did lol, thanks Sarah :D and dope car for sure.
great vid as always, and beautiful trails. Hi Charlie!
Today's special episode "Morning surprise with Honda Pilot Trailsport." Love such surprises! 😃
Nice job Honda.
I think its funny you are talking about red velvet cake. Thats the cake i bought myself for my birthday Jan 25th the day of this video released the 24th Jan. funny
Love your CHANNEL Ms. Sarah In Tuned
Sarah IS intelligent....and very pretty. Loving the detail in every demo. thanks🍪
Legend has it, the rear rotor diameter is still traveling through time on an invisible endless journey into infinity.
Finally! A heated steering wheel button on the steering wheel. I've ranted in the past that the element is there, the wiring is there; why in the world put the button on a screen in the dash?
They seemed super receptive to peoples feedback, so it pays to voice your ideas!
It's on the steering wheel in the RDX/MDX Acuras (Hondas) too.
Hopefully you will have a chance to do a full in shop review. I’m a little curious about the towing capabilities. Since its an option in drive modes. With the new V6 and rear drive line changes, it probably tow’s well. Nice vehicle overall. Thank you kind Lady.
This is the cutest review of a car I have ever seen )
I wasn't able to find fosters beer or outback steakhouse when I was in Australia 😂
I didn't know Continental made off-road tires, either. Learn something new every day. 🙂
MORNING SARAH?!!!! Hell yeah!!!💯
I'd like to see a comparison between this, the Pathfinder Rock Creek, and the Subaru Ascent.
Another fantastic review Sarah , one can never go wrong buying a Honda !!
Love your videos and your sense of humor! Also the Tommy Boy joke.
TFL has a bunch of really cool cars in their collection, bean scores would be cool
