![]() ![]() I like the Pilot as it is the perfect size, perfect configuration, totally usable, has enough power and does okay on gas mileage. Considering the minimum recommended ground clearance for off-roading is 8.8 inches, the Odyssey is only suitable for city and highway driving. You have to know what a vehicle is capable of to drive it safely and to have fun! The fifth-generation (2018 to present) Honda Odyssey offers a measly 4.5 inches of ground clearance, regardless of trim level. Sure, the Pilot is not the strongest 4wd on the market but with clearance and traction, there's a lot you can do that you can't do with other vehicles.I just have to learn to do it a bit slower so I don't break parts!! The weakest links on my 2008 Pilot are in fact, links (Tie rod ends are not the beefiest in the world!). I drove a 2010 Corolla pretty much straight down a mountainside in Nevada over basketball sized rocks because it was quicker than turning around (Same mountain but opposite side of Great Basin NP). I have replaced bent rims on my CRV's twice now and have another, as well as a bent half-shaft I need to fix. I have done all of the aforementioned more than once each, usually on western backwoods two-tracks that I really shouldn't be on at all, but hey! Whatever it is, I drive it like I stole it! I think the Pilot caught my eye because I like trucks, and also that I treat my vehicles (no matter which one I have) like 4wd trucks, and as such, with no clearance I end up ripping exhausts off, bashing huge dents in exhaust pipes as well as gas tanks, damaging frames, etc. Now that I have needlessly slammed a very nice vehicle for purely satirical purposes, I gotta say that the Odyssey is a nice vehicle. I like the Pilots because they look and handle like a truck (ARR, Arr, Arr.ala Tim Allen!). ![]() Okay, I looked at Odysseys back in the 90's when we had little kids.actually owned a minivan but always felt weak and wimpy driving it around.I think the exhaust emitted progesterone or something f not a manly and manful vehicle to be sure. The pilot looks cool, the odyssey looks like a ginormous eraser with a big butt. ![]()
