Honda Pilot (third generation) by Alexander Migl — CC BY-SA 4.0 For the 2016 model year, the Honda Pilot dropped its rugged, coarse exterior in favor of a more aerodynamic, modern crossover look. But even though the looks don’t scream SUV so much anymore, the capabilities of the Pilot haven’t given up their roots. It is still a strong SUV with seating for up to eight, a powerful V6 engine, and a suspension that may have gotten a little lower than it used to be, but still stands high enough off the ground for most situations.

2020 Ford Explorer XLT by Kevauto — CC BY-SA 4.0 When drivers are in the market for a new vehicle with plenty of ground clearance, they’re not always looking for an adventure car. Plenty of people need the ride in order to overcome obstacles you can find in and around developed areas.

But if you want to take in all the nature, culture, food, and Bourbon Kentucky has to offer, you’re almost certainly going to need a car to do that.
