Previewing the 2023 Honda Pilot TrailSport

The Honda Pilot is already a capable SUV, but if you’re looking for an off-road model, you should keep a specific trim level in mind. The 2023 Honda Pilot TrailSport arrives at Pacific Honda soon, bringing with it some significant improvements over last year’s SUV, and making it a compelling proposition for those with a serious case of wanderlust.

Off-Road Equipment

The Honda Pilot TrailSport comes equipped with all kinds of equipment that will make it easier to take on different types of terrain. Unique stabilizer bars keep you comfortable even when the road gets rough, and all-terrain tires deliver the traction you need even in situations where other SUVs would slip.

This SUV also comes equipped with steel skid plates. These protect the undercarriage, including the gas tank and powertrain components, so you can travel off the beaten path to your heart’s content, worry-free.

Increased Ground Clearance

This Honda SUV also protects itself from rough terrain by offering more ground clearance than the typical SUV. When you get the TrailSport model, you’ll realize that it offers an extra inch of lift compared to the model’s other trim levels.

All-Wheel Drive and Different Driving Modes

An all-wheel drive system with torque vectoring can send the bulk of the power to the wheel with the best grip when you’re going over tougher terrain. The Honda Pilot TrailSport also offers seven different driving modes, including a Trail mode that’s made specifically for off-road trials and tribulations. We also like the hill descent control feature, which leverages lower gear ratios and lower-speed crawl capabilities to keep the driver in control.

If you’re the adventurous type, the 2023 Honda Pilot TrailSport might be just the full-size SUV you’ve been waiting for. If you want to learn more about this model or ask about pre-orders, visit our San Diego Honda dealership.
