Pilot’s and Ridgeline’s are both derived from the Honda Odyessey platform. And all are NOT a full sized van or CUV or pickup...Honda lists them as “mini” or “sub” or “mid”...
Both CUV’s have addition of a small frame to buttress the Odyessy Monocoque. I bought a used Odyssey and can attest to how stiff the Monocoque with 7 adults & luggage on board is running on rough dirt roads (elderly and did not want to get in my Suburban to a church picnic)
*ALL* have similar GVWR & RGAWR. Around 6,000 lb GVWR and around 3,200 lb RGARW....vs...lowest full sized pickups 6K-7K GVWR and +4K RGAWR. These are the things most important to me...but...know am in the vast minority...as most only look at marketing nomenclature and payload (lost to them is that since lower class...they weigh less, therefore has higher payload due to that fact)
On the headlamp...that is the North American attempt at European E-Code headlamps.
That line between darkness vs light is called the “cut off” and is the desired metric to NOT blind with a constant light to the eyes
As for the comment of on coming E-Code cutoff bounce...think they are not adjusted to code. In California, it is 2 inches down below level for each 25 feet forward, IIRC.
