Comparing The Honda Pilot Against The Ford Explorer
Helping to keep you safe, the Honda Pilot comes with a Collision Mitigation Braking System. Designed with forward-mounted sensors to warn the driver of a collision, your Pilot will automatically apply the brakes if you don’t react in time to prevent an accident. It’s systems like this that give the Pilot a 5-Star rating in Front Crash Tests by the NHTSA. The new Ford Explorer doesn’t have a Collision Mitigation Braking System and could only achieve 4-Stars in the same test.
