One is not like the other two.

Buy the 4Runner.

Best made SUV's.

One is a capable offroad suv. The other two come with tampon dispensers.

I'm sold on Toyta reliability. It's insane how well this Tacoma is holding up, and how in four years I've only lost $1500 in depreciation.

Toyota 4 Runner
Of those 3, that's the one I would choose.
I would cross shop the 4 with an Explorer, though.

4 Runner - are the other two even rear wheel drive?

My wife has a 2012 Highland Limited, and we regret not purchasing a Honda Pilot. Our next vehicle will be a Honda Pilot.
We haven't had any mechanical issues out of the Highlander- it's mainly the dislike of the electronic controls.

The Pilot shares underpinnings and the powertrain with the Acura MDX luxury SUV, and their platforms are shared with the Odyssey minivan and the Accord sedan.

The Toyota Highlander/Kluger is a midsize crossover SUV produced by Toyota. It is built on the platform of the Toyota Camry.

The 4runner continued to use a body on frame construction design and a solid rear axle for strength and durability compromising interior room and on-road handling.

Wife had a Pilot. Lots of torque, lots of space, lots of airbags & safety features, and lots of gas.
Got hit by a Chinese lady driver in Atlanta and totaled. Wife still misses it.

You want a car that looks like something useful, or you want a truck, baw?

I just bought an SR5 4Runner and could not be happier. Retired my 1995 4Runner... but man oh man can you transform a 4Runner into something mean!
It's probably the cool thing to buy the Trail edition, but with the price difference I can add more.

Just recently shopped these. The 4Runner isn't really comparable to the other two. It's a different beast. It's worth driving, but they're basically only comparable based on size. For most of recent memory, the Highlander takes more than its fair share of awards in the mid-size suv category. It's a nice, smooth ride. It's base interior is fine. The top-of-the line stuff is very nice. Get behind the wheel of it and the pilot, and you'll notice that they drive like cars. Then hop in a 4Runner, and you'll notice that you're, in essence, inside of a small/midsized truck with a cabbed in, carpet-lined bed. You'll get much better mileage out of the other two. If your goal isn't frequent towing and off-paved-road driving, the 4Runner is a lot of wasted capability costing you a fair amount of fuel economy (all of which, to plenty of people, is a totally acceptable thing- there's nothing wrong with it). The 4-cylinder Highlander gets fairly decent fuel economy without sacrificing any amount of power that you'd really need for daily driving/commuting. I didn't really drive the Pilot, but you should expect it to drive more like the highlander and less like the 4Runner.

Pilot bombed in IIHS crash tests....so it's a non-starter. LINK
4Runner is awesome but the front end is hideous. I also disapprove of clear lens tail lights.
Highlander is a minivan, but likely a decent family car if you never tow or go off road.
TL;DR. Buy a Land Cruiser. If that's to expensive, buy a Tahoe.

Wife has a 2015 pilot. This is our 3rd model via lease. Fantastic vehicle

One is a true SUV. The other two are just the modern equivalents of the station wagon. Driving a Pilot or Highlander is like being a 21st Century Clark Griswold.

My 09 4Runner sport 4x4 just turn 100k. I've taken it off-road a few times, in the snow a bunch, towed trailers full of furniture from NC thru the mountains to east TN, launched a couple of boats. I've changed the oil and the brake pads. The gas mileage sucks even on the interstate. I'll drive it til the wheels fall off.
That's all I've got.

I was looking at the 2016 Honda Pilot Touring over the weekend for the wife and it is REALLY nice. If you like features in a car then this is the choice. For $40k you get an unbelievable amount of features.
