Have you been wondering if there's a family SUV that can fare off-road just as well as a vehicle built specifically for the trails? Are you curious about what it would be like to take your family or friends on an outdoor adventure in the comfort and safety of a midsize SUV? You can do all of that with the 2025 Honda Pilot. While it is a great fit for city and suburban living, it does have a wild side—one that will appear any time you want to explore the road less traveled. It's the perfect solution for families that want a family SUV but also want something that can haul, tow, and camp.

The 2025 Honda Pilot cuts an impressive figure both on and off the road. With its majestic build, it is tough, durable, and still very comfortable and luxurious. You can have it all with Honda's latest Pilot! There are plenty of available features for you to customize it even further to make it the perfect off-road companion, whether you're interested in road trips, camping, fishing, or hiking. You can take the family to see historical sites and go on long drives in the countryside when you have the Pilot on hand, so why not try one out for yourself today?

Available All-Wheel Drive

Your 2025 Honda Pilot comes standard with front-wheel drive, but that doesn't have to be the case if you want something a little more suited to going off-road. A front-wheel-drive vehicle is capable of going off-road, of course, but it is more difficult to handle, and when you're concentrating so much on navigating, it can be easy to miss the fun times and beautiful scenery that's passing by. That's why it's better to get all-wheel drive, which will make going off-road easy and fun. What's the point of driving off the beaten path if you're not going to enjoy it as much as possible? 

To get the 2025 Honda Pilot with available all-wheel drive, you can either buy a model equipped this way off of our lot or order it straight from the manufacturer that way. Regardless, you'll have an SUV that can handle hauling, towing, and rougher terrain like mud, snow, gravel, and dirt. You'll be prepared for whatever happens wherever you're going; you'll reach your destination happy and carefree, with plenty of fun memories to share with your friends and family. If you're serious about getting a vehicle that can go the distance, the Pilot's available all-wheel drive is a must-have.

Seven Available Drive Modes

There are times when you'll need to drive on asphalt, and there are times when you'll need to take a dirt path or traverse a place with no path at all. This is when having multiple drive mode options comes in handy—and in order to give you said hand, the 2025 Honda Pilot comes with up to seven available drive modes: Normal, Econ, Sport, Snow, Trail, Sand, and Tow. You'll be able to drive on the beach, through the snow, in traffic, and off-road in a heartbeat by switching to one of these modes. If you like to explore amid a variety of terrain types, road conditions, and weather, you'll want to take advantage of these available drive modes. 

You'll know which mode you're in by the icon on your dashboard display; thus, when you need to make a change, you can ensure that you have the correct driving mode. You can also test these modes out and see which one works best for a complicated situation. Maybe you're trying to drive over wet sand or over both gravel and snow; which of these drive modes is most suited to those? You can rely on these modes to help you navigate all sorts of circumstances, whether you're driving in a blizzard, on a muddy slope, or through a forest. 

Hauling and Towing Are a Cinch

The 2025 Honda Pilot can haul and tow a mighty amount. With a towing capacity of up to 5,000 lbs, the Pilot can handle medium-sized campers, boats, and trailers. Do you want to tow a passenger boat to the lake for the weekend? Are you looking to take your family camping at one of your favorite spots? Do you need to tow large trailers with items like appliances or furniture? You can do it all with the 2025 Pilot. Since it can tow up to 5,000 lbs, you've got enough power to tow boats or campers over twenty feet long! If you get the available Tow drive mode, too, you'll make driving with a trailer even more manageable. 

You can also haul a lot in the Pilot. Since there's room for eight people, you can fold down the third row (or both the second and third rows) to create plenty of room for all the camping equipment, luggage, sports gear, and other necessities you need to bring along for your adventures. You'll also still have room for people to ride comfortably, which means you won't have to compromise on comfort when you need more cargo space.

Add-Ons for Off-Road Travel

If you're looking to further outfit your Pilot for your off-road travels, you'll be delighted to learn that Honda has an array of accessories for you to choose from, including things like roof rails and crossbars, which will give you additional cargo space without encroaching on cabin space. This allows you to put all the bulky stuff on top of your SUV instead of inside or even in a trailer. If you have bikes, surfboards, kayaks, skis, and other large sports equipment, you can put it all on the top of the Pilot, lash it down, and take it with you whenever you want to go. 

Other helpful extras include the trailer hitch, which will help you tow everything you need for the wonderful weekend you have planned, an awesome road trip, or a delightful day trip you routinely take. You can do it all when your Honda Pilot is properly equipped. Other extras can help you customize your Pilot, but the trailer hitch and roof fixtures will get you started and give you the most important options so you can enjoy your adventures as soon as you drive your new Pilot off the lot.
