I haven't seen one in the woods before, but I have a friend who has one. He is an accountant, and it has never left the pavement, and never had more than a load of stuff from Costco in the back. I think he pulls his 16' ski-boat too. It is higher on creature comforts than say a Toyota Tacoma, but the Tacoma has proven itself around the world.

I guess it depends on what you are getting it for. Honda has always made quality vehicles. I have driven a Pilot quite a bit, and it is also a nice vehicle, but does not seem to be an off-road type of car either (it sits on the minivan chassis, I believe).
