Pilot wins against any mid size SUV in my book because it can seat 8 people. It has the magic disappearing rear seat. So if you fold the seat flat it's just like a regular SUV.

Both vehicles are good, however, the 4Runner is more for off road use. If you need a daily driver and have children the Pilot is the obvious choice with optional DVD syst.

Give us more info on what your primary use will be for your new vehicle.

You may also want to consider the new Lexus 330 and VW Toureg, very nice.
