How strong is the 2008-2016 Toyota Sequoia's roof in a rollover compared to the 2016 Honda Pilot? How safe is it in general a comparison?
I'm looking to buy either a 2016 Sequoia or a 2016 Pilot. I would like to have the Sequoia over the pilot because we will have +3 carseats and want to have lots of kids.
However, from some rollover pics I've seen of Sequoias, it looks like the roofs crush like tin cans. How would they compare to SUV's like the 2016 Pilot which receives good safety ratings, specifically roof strength?
PS: I know there's a greater chance of rollover, but I'm more concerned which holds up better in that case and in general.
Added (1). By greater chance of rollover, I'm referring to the Sequoia.
Added (2). By greater "chance of rollover", I'm referring to the Sequoia.
I'm curious about your PS statement "I know there's a greater chance of rollover" - in what are you saying - the Pilot? You will have a greater chance or rollover in the Sequoia, it's a body on frame truck chassis with a much higher center of gravity. It's also bigger and heavier so it won't corner or stop as well as a Pilot - consider that it's not just how well a vehicle can take an accident that makes it safe, it's also which one is easier to avoid the accident to begin with.
The Sequoia is a bigger, more expensive, and less efficient vehicle. It can hold more, tow more, and might be a bit more rugged if you ever did go offroad (because it's a truck, not a crossover), but it's pretty much inferior to the Pilot in every other way beyond that. It's also old even in that class - Suburbans and Expeditions get much better reviews than Sequoia's.
All that said - I have a 2016 Pilot - it's a great vehicle, just get that.
- What are some good cars that either already have mods or are just sporty in general? Nothing above 5k? And yes i have look at all the sporty hondas and i like them, but i want a V6 casue their faster than V4s stock. but yeah like give me some websites or car names to look up on craigslist.
- What is pilot sales? I have heard that Honda did pilot sales of HR-V in the US I do not live in the US? So I do not know what does it mean. I'm taking about the following article: http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2015/08/10/2016-pilot-could-place-honda-among-the-chart-toppe.aspx
- Honda CR-V, Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, or Toyota RAV-4? I will be purchasing a used car in the upcoming weeks. I have been saving up money from my summer job and currently have about $4000 to spend. Which vehicle do you think I should get?
- Should I buy a low mileage 2015ish Sequoia or a 2017 Honda Pilot EX-L? I can get a used sequioa with less than 40k miles (without warranty) for the same price as a new Honda EX-L with 100,000 powertrain warranty). I can't decide between the two… I need something that will sit 3 car seats minimum, 4 is even better. We do plan on having more kids. I know the Sequoia's a lot bigger, but I plan to use it as a commuting vehicle for at least a year and it seems like overkill. Also, it doesn't seem the Sequoia is as safe as the Pilot, I think?
