No three-row vehicle in America sells more often than the Ford Explorer.
Chasing Explorer buyers is something virtually every major automaker does. Toyota builds the Highlander, Nissan markets the Pathfinder, GM sells a trio of full-size crossovers, Mazda uses an old Ford platform underneath the CX-9, Hyundai will sell you a Santa Fe XL.
At Honda, the latest Ford Explorer is this third-generation Pilot. With seating for up to eight passengers and space behind the third row – imagine that – for a cooler, the Pilot is a spacious contender.
For 2016, however, the Pilot is intended to be much more than spacious. Honda has inserted plenty of safety technology, a more powerful engine, an available 9-speed transmission, and Honda's latest infotainment unit. In fact, there's basically nothing about the new Pilot that's shared with the outgoing Pilot.
A vehicle with dimensions this vast needs a thorough video review. Fortunately, the videos produced by Alex Dykes of Alex On Autos, are the most thorough and detailed video reviews on YouTube.
We plan to test a new 2016 Honda Pilot here at GCBC Towers soon. The tester that's on our way here from Honda Canada is a Touring model, priced at CAD $52,285, including fees.

Rare is the car in 2015 which isn't even available with an automatic transmission of one kind or another. CVTs, DSGs, and even 9-speed autos are becoming increasingly common. The 2015 Honda Civic Si, however, is sold with a 6-speed manual. Three...

Twice, Mercedes-Benz Canada has delivered a CLA250 to our door. But our review of the 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 4Matic was much more favourable. In our view, hatchback flexibility, easier rear seat access, and superior ride quality combine to make the...
