The new 2023 Toyota Highlander is a tough competitor, but the all-new 2023 Honda Pilot outshines its rival in many ways. The Honda Pilot has a slightly lower starting MSRP than the Toyota Highlander. While both SUVs have a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped,3,4 the Honda Pilot produces higher standard horsepower than its rival does. Both models offer an available head-up display and an available hands-free power tailgate, two features that make daily life more convenient. However, the Honda Pilot claims the victory when it comes to interior space. It offers over 16 more cubic feet of standard passenger volume than the Toyota Highlander does, which means the Honda Pilot has more elbow room in its spacious cabin. And when you need to fold the rear seats and load in bulky items, the Honda Pilot has plenty of cargo space behind the first row — a few more cubic feet than the Toyota Highlander does, in fact.
