The Honda Pilot does the 23 as well as the 19, if not better because of the tandem axle on the 23. Weighs 4100lbs normally loaded, 4300 with 4 bikes loaded. (2 bike rack in the back and 2 in the camper) Also, I never heard of any reason not to level out the Pilot for the RWD to kick in. I call BS to that. The AWD system has nothing to do with the attitude of the SUV.
We bought a larger SUV last Fall foreseeing 3-4 years of national summer vacation travel with our 23BHD. The Pilot was fine in state, but high elevations with a loss of power and some 10 hour long drives wasn't going to cut it. We miss our Pilot!
