Hello all. I’m thinking seriously about getting a Passport in the next week or two, and I’m probably looking at getting the Touring or Elite model. I am currently driving a diesel Colorado ZR2. This is the first time I have had a pickup as a daily driver, and I really miss having an SUV. Here are my major requirements, in no particular order.
1. Carry my whitewater kayaks on top.
2. Trailer hitch to haul my mountain bike.
3. Back seats that lay flat so I can camp in the back when on kayaking trips.
4. Moderate off-road ability.
5. Good handling.
6. Decent fuel economy.
7. The ability to tow my Honda Pioneer 500 UTV on occasion.
8. Good on snow.
9. “Autopilot” features.
10. Durability.
My one and only Honda vehicle so far (with the exception of my little Pioneer 500) was a Honda Element. It was one of my favorite cars, excluding its miserable AWD system. I’m really impressed with the Passport, and will likely sell or trade the ZR2 for one in the near future. The off road ability of the ZR2 is great, but I really miss driving an SUV and I use the P-500 for all of my recreational off road driving. I’m also looking at the Cherokee Trailhawk and the VW Atlas, but Passport is at the top of my list. The Cherokee might be a little too small and the Atlas seems monstrous.
How well do you guys think the Passport will work for my situation?
