Brian and Justin Thompson recently took the latest Pilot Trailsport for a spin, diving deep into what sets this adventure-ready model apart.

Off-Roading Powerhouse

The Trailsport trim is tailor-made for adventurers. One standout is its ash green metallic finish, unique to this edition, paired with 18-inch alloys and thick-tread Continental tires—perfect for rugged terrain. Justin Thompson points out that it rides an inch higher than other models, giving you better ground clearance when the journey gets rough 01:18.

Key off-road enhancements include:

• TrailSport-specific badging and orange accents for style
• Off-road tuned suspension for smoother rides over tough landscapes
• A trail watch camera system, offering multiple camera angles and dynamic guidelines, essential for spotting obstacles you can’t see from the driver’s seat
• Front and rear camera cleaning nozzles, so mud and dirt never block your view

• Google built-in for maps, directions, and even hands-free control like turning on your heated seats—just say, “Hey Google, turn on my heated seat”
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless smartphone integration
• An advanced instrument cluster displaying real-time pitch and roll, ideal for safe, confident off-roading

Safety technology is top-tier, with adaptive cruise control featuring low-speed follow, lane keep assist, and blind spot monitoring—all making both everyday driving and long road trips a breeze
