A lack of low-end torque from the V6 makes the 2010 Honda Pilot feel rather flat-footed off the line.
there’s still some torque steer when accelerating vigorously out of corners
Acceleration feels adequate for the type of vehicle this is
not a truck...but it'll tow a boat or a trailer of ATVs on a family adventure
Power is adequate for most situations

The 2011 Honda Pilot has a carlike unibody design, bolstered structurally with some of the benefits of an SUV, so it's able to draw from the best of both worlds. Ride quality is a little firm, but with the optional four-wheel-drive (actually all-wheel drive) system, which has a Lock mode, the Pilot is great for getting through deep snow, mud, and the like. Four-wheel-drive models can tow up to 4,500 pounds.
Conclusion
A responsive, smooth powertrain and surprisingly confident handling make the 2011 Honda Pilot a better on-road performer than its appearance might suggest.
