Multiple issues at play here. I too live on an unserviced road. So there is a need for at least something with decent ground clearance when the snow is deep.... which isn't that often admittedly, maybe four weeks a year. (When I bought the Pilot, before we moved, we had deep snow and or ice from Nov til mid Apr.)

I won't put many miles on the Pilot, I'd guess 5,000 or so. Im not sure that the numbers make sense to add a vehicle, taxes, insurance and maintenance at that amount of mileage.
