See my 2025 Honda Pilot Video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/edJdlcibu9G5Yp8.html Also, Hybrid GH can tow 3,500 lbs and the Gas/Hybrid Max GH can tow 5,000 lbs.

I’m honored by your kind words. Although other reviewers are not necessarily bought and paid for, we all get these vehicles from manufacturer for a week to test. Other reviewers are more conscious of their relationship with the brand so they can constantly get invites to events and new vehicle releases. I do not care about such things which is why I come across so bluntly. Really my only objective now with this channel is to help consumers save money in this ridiculous car market.

Excellent review. Found your channel back in March 2020 and made some wise choices because of your honest, blunt content. You've come a long way, and your production value has notably matured with time sinxe Exhaust Sports Auto. One of the best!

I recently had a 2024 Lexus NX Takumi as a loaner and your driving Impressions of this are exactly my thoughts about the NX. Just a staggering level of refinement for this class of car. Floating on a cloud levels of ride/NVH suppression that in my opinion are on par with Range Rovers from just a few years ago.

Nice, clear and no nonsense video, Kevin, keep up the good work! I will definitely keep Jim’s info in mind when I’m ready to buy a Toyota, but for now I truly enjoy my Kia Sorento PHEV and Hyundai Ioniq PHEV, they are fun to drive in a different way but overall the fuel savings make me want to keep driving them…which I wish this GH will come up with a PHEV version soon ( don’t like the look of the Lexus TX and the price unfortunately)

@MeynMotorGroup Ай бұрын

Thank you my friend! And yea I just share the resources so whenever people are ready to be in the market again, they know there is a different way of purchasing available. Those are some phenomenal cars you own and certainly worth keeping especially if you have a great dealership nearby as Hyundai Kia has the best warranty. Price of the TX is def a turn off still curious to try one out to see how it performs

@Aniki1111 28 күн бұрын

The venza is also similar in being a nice vehicle while still being a Toyota. I can't believe the gas mileage in this thing and it seems to be a very comfortable car, great for longer trips. Lots of USB ports are always appreciated but it's taking me a minute to get used to type C. I don't know any type c to type c cables yet but I guess I have to get with the times. Do you think the body roll could have been avoided with better suspension or it's just inevitable due to the size of the car?

@davidglad Ай бұрын

Other reviews have suggested this likely is the better value over the TX. I would think this is new enough that I am not surprised the hybrid isn't available at a discount. Assuming it is in stock.

@MeynMotorGroup Ай бұрын

Yea just based off of how good this GH is, they might be right but I would really like to try a TX to be sure I feel like the TX will ride just as well while offering slightly better handling but we shall see. Yes hybrid stock is scarce most dealers are charging mark ups on those Jim is at sticker on hybrids and he can actually get them so that’s ok but I think I’d rather go gas to get discount

Great review. We don’t get this here, we get the smaller Kluger. The highlander looks like a big tow vehicle but I suspect it would struggle to tow with a smallish 4 cylinder. My step fathers Prado was a good tow vehicle with its 4 cylinder but that was I think a 3 litre and a diesel. I liked his Prado but it idled rough. Very rough until it warmed up after 15 minutes, then it settled into medium rough. My brother who has had a diesel Prado for some years said it’s normal. Might be normal but not ok by me.

@MeynMotorGroup Ай бұрын

The pure gas has 265 hp that's def more than enough not too long ago there were v8s on sale that couldn't even make that much power but towing is ok for a unibody this can do 5,000 lbs. Pathfinder with tow pack can do 6,000 lbs. Yea I think older diesels were pretty unrefined and why many were turned off by diesels due to early performance but modern diesels have come a long way but with rising fuel costs around the world, I think there's not a drastic difference anymore between diesel and gas but please correct me if I'm wrong about that

This is a very practical vehicle in many respects, but I am not a fan of the rear - so bland and generic. The hybrid MPG is freaking amazing though.

That’s so true the rear end is pretty generic front end looked like a premium take on the RAV4 which I really liked but I’ve noticed many vehicle designs fall apart at the rear.

The Honda Pilot isn't available in a hybrid. Advantage Toyota! I am in the market right now... My 2021 Highlander Platinum Hybrid lease is up soon, and it only has 16,000 miles on it. I can not find a Grand Highlander Platinum Max in Storm Cloud with the Portobello interior. That's what I would want. I have searched everywhere. P.S. My last resort will be to extend my lease because that 2025 Sienna is going to blow the Grand Highlander away.

@MeynMotorGroup 29 күн бұрын

Even if you find a hybrid it’s going to be sticker or even over sticker so you’re not really saving anything on fuel. Gas GH and Pilot both have substantial discounts you would have to drive to the moon and back twice to make up for the savings that come with the gas GH and Pilot.
