Honda has always been a pioneer when it comes to safety, and the inclusion of standard active head restraints, is further proof of their innovation. In the event of a rear-end collision, the headrests of the Honda Pilot will move up and forward, cradling the head and preventing needless neck injuries. These features are not present in the Chevy Traverse.

The Honda Pilot can tow 3,500 pounds. That’s a lot of capability for work and for play. The Chevy Traverse falls short on this figure with a towing capacity of only 2,000 pounds. On top of that, the Traverse has less room for passengers, making for a more cramped ride.
