Is the NEW 2024 Honda Passport Trailsport WORTH the money? 

2 rows, 9-speed transmission, V6 power and Honda's reliability. I'd pay for it.

The fact that the Pilot is considered mid-sized is wild.

Joe hands down the best car reviewer! Love every single details you show us! So many reviewers skip through some things us the customers want to see

Hey ! I owned a 2020 touring and just exchanged it for a 2024 Touring. As you can tell, I absolutely love it. The engineering behind it and how it drives is great. The Honda i-VTM4 All-Wheel Drive makes all the difference. The 9-speed V6 is a gem. Longevity and reliability !

Keep up the good work Joe and crew!

Fruttie pebbles and the 8 inch comments were hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂 . Great 👍 review Joe as always 👌

I have a 23 Trailsport and also zonked the old school turn signals. I bought some Amazon special Chinese LED bulbs and that solved the problem.

Just wait for the 2025 Passport. It’s getting a whole redesign.

Honda Trailsport is a pretty nice looking and running 2 row SUV, great that it has a 9sp trans instead of a CTV.

Joe, re: the zonk to lack of LED lighting... you have to zonk the manufacturers for not making a drop in replacement LED bulb but instead going to integrated LED modules so when the LED modules go out you have to replace the whole housing.

I put a security deposit on a new 2024 Passport Trailsport, should be here any day!

Yes of course Joe & I'm planning to buy one.

Two rows and a N/A V6 👍👍.

At the end of the day, Joe, the changes are nice.........not THRILLING........but niiiiiiiice. 😊 I'll wait for the highly anticipated redesign coming our way, Raiti. 😮

Thank you Honda for keeping that V6 while your competitors are phasing it out.

Jsport aftermarket accessories.You can get a 1.5 inch lift kit & other goodies. What sets the Trailsport apart is the torque vectoring AWD system. It compeats with the Forester/Outback/Crosstrek, & Rav4 TRD off road. A 4Runner would blow this out of the water. Other crossovers like the CX50 don't have a torque vectoring AWD system.

Joe, I have no interest in buying this car but I appreciate the offroading segment. It was a nice change of pace and is further demonstration your commitment to getting your viewers the information they need to make informed decisions. That’s why you’re one of my faves!

Super J ~ I saw one yesterday on the road & it looks great in person. great job Joe & Crew, tony

I appreciate the nostalgia references in your videos.

My wife has this exact model and color…it’s an awesome ride.

That huge Honda badge, is something that flavor flav would have on his chest, and around his neck!!😂😂

Your point deductions are spot on and I agree that for 44k, they should have included LED turn signals, heads-up display and a forward-facing camera, especially since it is the trail edition. The Honda reliability and the available trunk space make this a great choice regardless.

On the 2024 model year. The Passport’s vents got redesigned resembling the one from the Fourth Generation Pilot. This change also applies to the Ridgeline.

Can’t wait to see the 2025! Hoping for an updated infotainment. Would love to see the Black Edition review next time.

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video real true 👍

Looks good to me, and two row is definitely better than three. Personally I do not like all the gadgets on the steering wheel, and the engine cover is blah. Other than that the Passport is nicely done.

I don't need a cooler, but I do like the Passport!

Not a fan of panoramic sunroof. I like the standard size sunroof.

That viewable area on the center screen is about the same size as my cellphone turned sideways.

Great video. I wonder if a dealer would give cost to replace each of the usual replaceable items - lightbulbs, wipers, brakes, oil changes, all the known maintenance things. If we had a price would it help? PS Dealer cost to replace Jeep Cherokee light bulb $700. Why don’t more people ask this?

Honda should put back the shifter

Hey Joe, I see a little of the new Subaru Forester in this Honda. Be interesting to compare the two when both are on the market together. I choose the Subie ahead of time lol. Thanks for the video.

Excellent work doing the Review! Still waiting for Honda to change the Tail Lights.

I may base my next purchase on the lack of of gaudy gloss-black plastic that is on/in the vehicle.

I got a 24 Black Edition. I don't really need the off road capabilities of the Trail Edition and the difference was $2000. With that I got a better sound system, the 20" black wheels, and cooled seats which has been nice with the recent heat wave. I drove a pilot too and oddly enough I think it rode a little better. However, I don't need a 3rd row, we have limited space in the driveway, and the Passport seems to have better acceleration than the Pilot when needed. The transmission mapping at lower gears can be a bit tricky but not nearly has bad as my Atlas was and the ride can get slightly bouncy at times. Overall I have had the Passport for just two weeks now and would recommend it. The 2025 models are coming out too so you can probably find a 2024 now for under MSRP.

Fantastic ! 🌟

aren't LED's cheaper to manufacture than incandescent bulbs?

I CANT CHOOSE BETWEEN THE TRAILSPORT & THE BLACK EDITION

Looks good with the "Trail Sport" badging featuring the Colorado Rockies. Passport looks rough and ready for going off-road where anything can happen to you. More vehicles should have an engine compartment hood that opens wide so you can see what there is in there.

Good morning, Joe! Hope you have a great day, my friend.

The passports looks nice 100%.

I live in the palm harbor tarpon area.. I haven’t found a neat little trail like that yet! 😮

Hey Joe, if this car review thing doesn't work out, I bet you would make it in stand up comedy!! 😊

Do you think passport is better than pilot??

Im single with one kid, why would I buy a 3 row? Thats why I love this car, its perfect specially the engine

Hands down hondas reliabilty and affordability is why its my choice of vehicle. Two of my vehicles over 300000 miles. Passport is the next car. Honda is functional, reliable & affordable hands down!

21:05. Since it's made of plaatic, it shouldn't be too hard to look up on RU-vid how to make your iwn drain plug in the bottom of it!

Even with off-road improvements 95% Passports will never see off-road activity. 🤔🤷🏼🙄😅😂🤣

My 2019 Honda Pilot at 32000 miles needs new injectors and can’t seem to find , dealership said out of stock, same thing online. I would recommend a Honda to anyone I tried calling Honda because there’s an extended warranty for the injectors but apparently only some 2019 Pilot do get the warranty, mine doesn’t

Amazing review Joe.

Love the Passport, just minor changes. Give me a us a panoramic sunroof and no more Thomas Edison lightbulbs, please!

per haps some of the 4runner owners might buy this, because the new 4runner will be turbocharged. Not sure if these new V6 will still need the VCM muzzler. For a car like this, would you put the spare on the front or rear due to AWD?

I don't why reviewers get upset when signal lights are not LED. The lights are not used that much so using regular bulbs is a smart decision.

Mode selection isnt new . Previous model had it

Honda doesn't offer a skid plate option, were you referencing after market?

I've driven it. Maybe the best unibody/crossover around $40k

one problem is cooling system is not that effective especially trany and rear diff,over heating light will flash if you give heavy throttle for little while and price also very heavy for an average American house hold.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Can't have a drain because it's a removable piece to access the tire. Water would get between it and the actual floor or up from the road or a car wash.

That engine sound you hear is the famous j series vtech switch over,Joey 🙄🙄🙄 classic Honda sound

Is there brake hold ?

Joe, I’m with you on most of your assessments of the vehicles that you review, however your zonks for incandescent lights bulbs leave me scratching my head. LED light assemblies are nice until you have to replace one. I’d much rather spend a buck or two for a bulb, than have to spend potentially hundreds of dollars for an entire assembly all because one segment of LEDs went out. I guess it’s the way of the industry nowadays, but I don’t necessarily consider it a good thing.

Thanks man for ruining my day, and the entire weekend for that matter. The only thought my mind Is able to process now is that my engine cover looks like a trash can lid…🙄

Why do car companies that make an off-road version of their SUVs ignore approach and departure angles and ground clearance? Subaru was smart enough to increase ground clearance and approach/departure angles in their Wilderness trims.

If it had a drain plug in the back storage space and if the rear wiper was put in its place under the rear roof spoiler, the rig would be perfect.

Black Headliner -- Thank You!

When you get mud on the vehicles you take out, do you have to clean them up ot the dealership

I find the Pilot too big for my needs and drives a bit like a boat. The Passport is the right size, drives a bit better, and has better gas mileage, but there is a class action lawsuit against Honda due to problems with the 9 transmission (actually from when the transmission was in the Pilot. It is still in the Passport). I understand Honda for the Passport in 2025 is going to switch to the 10 speed transmission, upgrade the interior some, and improve the bumpers. I say wait for the redesign in 2025 and then decide. Now if we could just get them to switch to a timing chain instead of a belt....Ok, I'm dreaming...

Would have been a good SUV if it had a shifter. What is HOnda thinking????

When they say leather seats..they really mean majority is pleather..and some leather added.

thoughts on passport vs rdx?

These videos should be sent back to Honda

Good video ❤

TrailSport investment

No 10 speed love?

🙋 Yes Joe, cooler would be nice.

I'll definitely wait for the Prologue. Looks way nicer. Although, I'm not sure what Honda's strategy is, partnering with GM, and then turning around and saying they WON'T be partnering them after the Prologue. What the heck is going on at Honda?

I also say keck yea

Love this vehicle...not many people actually need a 7 seat SUV. I wish they would go hybrid with the powertrain or at least use the Pilot powertrain. This tells me that a complete update is coming soon.

Gotta give it one giant zonk! Trailsport.......just because of tires? Come on Honda!

With an infotainment system like that, Honda has alot of nerve charging that much for this vehicle. Smh

What's the point in placing the Turn Signals down so low? Can't be seen in most traffic situations. Bad design IMHO. The engine still uses a timing belt. Something to think about if you plan on owning it for awhile.

I bought a 2020 Passport Elite new in February 2021 (now has 45,000 miles), and it's been a great vehicle. The one downside are the 20-inch wheels. I've been reluctant to take mine off-road because because of the lower profile tires and risk of damage. (I live in San Diego and enjoy being in the deserts east of here.) One "zonk" on the 2024 Trailsport, IMHO, is the lack of recovery points built into the bumpers/frame, especially if they're going to market it as off-road capable.

Very niceeee

thanks

And v6

Make it boxy and we’ll talk

I opted for a 4Runner instead.

How does this compare to the Ford Explorer? Need help. I'm debating..

LTT water bottle!

Yes...cooler please!

Bro you almost cancelled for that 8 inch joke haha

Problem is it can't complete with the Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy

I rather get the all new mazda cx70!

GPS looks like monster truck madness 2

💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏

Wow that's a ridgeline front. 23 is way better. They screwed up big time

I feel like Honda needs to step it up, their cars are just boring in my opinion.

Huh

Nawh to dated to buy new at 50K after taxes. A used one maybe but thats far as i would go.

The “future” cars are so simple hurts to see…
