The launch event was held in Sedona, and Honda had journalists (I don't get flyaways yet

) ride the Broken Arrow Trail in Pilots, much to the amazement of the people who paid for the Pink Jeep tours. I rode that trail in 2012 as a passenger in The Mentor's lightly lifted and minty Gen-1 JGC Laredo V8. The hill on the way down was a stone staircase from Hell. No way in that place that a Pilot would have made it down intact back then, but due to increased off-road traffic, the stone stairs broke away and now the thing is just a rocky wash, easier to tackle in a regular SUV.
Pic below taken elsewhere, bet the Pilots scraped more than a bit!
