Honda Pilot

The Pilot employs a four-wheel drive system called Variable Torque Management 4WD (VTM-4). VTM-4 proactively delivers power to all four wheels under acceleration and when wheel slippage is detected. The VTM-4 system has a dashboard switch that locks both rear half-shafts to get the driver unstuck (there’s no center or rear differential), but it operates in just the first two gears and unlocks at 18 mph. Otherwise, the system operates primarily in front-drive and sends torque to the rear wheels when spin is detected up front.

The Pilot safety mechanisms are its VTM-4 four-wheel drive system, ABS-equipped four-wheel disc brakes, precise rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel independent suspension and 282-degrees of outward visibility. The foundation for the Pilot is a highly rigid unit body with reinforcing structures and energy absorbing crush zones. The Pilot's structure is designed to deform progressively in front, side and rear collisions.
