Trim selection also affects the listed starting MSRP, city fuel economy, and transmission speed. Comparing the LX, EX, EX-L, Touring, and Elite against budget and driving priorities can help narrow the lineup without assuming equipment differences that are not stated here.
Shoppers cross-shopping the Pilot with the Toyota Highlander may find that seating configuration, engine layout, towing needs, pricing, and fuel economy are useful starting points for comparison.
