After a few years I might consider switching to Toyota when they release their new line up around 2022 per leaked sources. I'm looking for a V6 that will have a timing chain, an suv that have brake hold (had it on my MDX) and 360 camera. I might consider a Lexus too (had the 2019 RX450hl- sucked) once toyota/lexus updates their suv line.

What SUV are you considering next?

The New Highlander is already on the road and I'm not drawn to it at all. The Palisade and Selluride are moving fast. They are really nice but impossible to order and they are backlogged for months. You can get a lower trim easier if you want. TBH I'm really interested to see what Honda brings to the game with the new gen Pilot. I plan on keeping my 2016 Touring at least another 6-7 years and at that time I may consider something nice like the Genesis SUV or newgen XC90. I like to own my cars so buying an X5 or GLE isn't for me. If I can get something nice with most 400bhp and not a pos like the Explorer ST I'd be interested.

Considered and done, 2020 Honda Passport Touring. Looked at almost everything on the market. Wasn't impressed with virtually all of the "luxury" vehicles and the items in them. The one exception was the Land Rover's Range Rover. It really didn't have all that much that my Passport has in terms of accessories that I was looking for and the ride was surprisingly comparable to the Passport. Sorry, I'm still smart enough to know when it's raining and I can still twist a little knob to turn on the wipers.

Timing chains do wear out and can need to be replaced, although it is not a scheduled maintenance item like timing belts.

Brake hold, Honda already has it on some vehicles and will probably include it in the entire fleet in the near future. Remember Honda is safety conscious so things tend to roll out a little slower with them.

360 camera, probably see it in 2021 or 2022. It was an Acura whining point so Honda Motor Corp gave it to Acura, for the time being, as they were having trouble selling their over priced, upscaled Honda clones. It's nice, the wife has it on her Nissan Rogue, but not worth $6000 more to go to a fairly comparable Passport clone.

Worst case scenario it will be another midsize 3 row, likely one of the Koreans unless Honda comes out with something stellar. There's an off chance a Traverse or Enclave could work its way in since we really like ours. This is all assuming it's replacing my wife's Pilot. If any of them go turbo 4 only they will not be considered.

To replace my Traverse, if I go SUV I would probably head to the Suburban/Yukon XL. I like the Sequoia and Armada quite a bit but I'd rather get the extra space. And as long as Ford refuse to put a V8 in the Expedition it's not on my list. Outside shot at a Wrangler/Gladiator so I can get a manual and have fun with something that I can modify easily.

Despite the high price the Tesla Model X SUV looks interesting. Slightly more affordable SUVs that could become a reality are the Passport or 4Runner.

2022 pilot for me if there are significant changes from my 2019.
I am on my 4th Pilot now, never had any issues so why change.

My kids are moving on so when that happens, we will be looking to lose one row of seating. I briefly looked at the passport and that caught my attention.

I'll wait to see how the next gen Pilot looks, but I wouldn't mind having a Passport if it came with a 360 camera and a panoramic sunroof.

Thats why i changed, just the wife and I, also didn't need the rear entertainment system.

Interesting. What can you say about the Passport coming from a Pilot? are you towing anything?

 

[ys1219]

If you guys want the 2022 pilot, you have to wait another year for Honda to fix any issues. The 2016 Pilot was a disaster so the new one might be worse because of all the tech.

Basically it is a Pilot/Ridgeline. It is built on the same frame, same motor, same transmission, differential etc. The suspension is lifted about 1 inch higher than the Pilot and the suspension is beefed up with the Ridgeline suspension. I like the ride, but then I knew that I wasn't buying a vehicle with Cadillac suspension. I was buying a vehicle designed to be on the road and off the road. With the Touring model I bought it is very quiet compared to the 2013 Pilot I traded in.

The body is 10" shorter than the Pilot and there is 1" more side to side room, not that anyone can tell. The cargo area is pretty much comparable to the Pilot with the third seat down and pretty much comparable with the second seats down. The interiors are comparable in terms of seats, console, dash etc. The second seat has a touch more leg room than the Pilot. I find it comfortable although some people complain about the contour of the Pilot and Passport driver seat.

As for towing, nope don't tow with it nor did I with the Pilot. I have a 3/4 ton PU that is my tower when needed. A 4 horse trailer loaded with hay, feed, tack, and 4 horses is going to out weigh anything any Honda or for that matter any SUV could or should tow. The passport will tow the same amount as the Pilot or Ridgeline. If you do any camping, of roading then the Passport is better than the Pilot in terms of the front entry and rear exit angle.

The Passport is designed for those that do not need the 3rd row seating and or want a more sporty vehicle for off roading. Keep in mind this is not a Rubicon or Fj cruiser. It's not designed to go rock climbing, but I have taken it off road once and it did quite nicely.

Another Pilot, unless something new comes along

A hearse.

Hope to keep my 2006 a good long time.

Not an SUV, nevertheless it's a Honda - and a hearse.

I will need to update my will that my hearse cannot be a repurposed minivan... I spent so much time and effort in life avoiding minivans why would I want to be in one in death?

I guess I got a good one. Bought my 2016 in Dec 2015 and haven't had a bit of trouble with it.

 

[FASTFJR]

Most likely probably end up going back to the RL. I had one for 7 years and loved it. Thought I wouldn't miss it but I do

Ahh yes, the death vehicle for any cool factor you ever had in you life. Not even Christie Brinkley could look cool in a mini van as she passed Clark Grisewold on a stretch of highway. A Ferrari 308 GTS, Oh Yeah. A mini van, not a chance.

Just for you, there's the Traverse model - available with either 2WD or 4WD:
