Welcome to the forum sir, glad to have another new member. Did you already secure your new Passport? What were you driving before?

Hi Gary. Welcome to the Passport Forums.

Last week had a couple of days that was 25 below 0. My 2017 CR-V couldn’t keeep its heat, hence that is why I’m buying a 2019 Passport

I had 2016 Honda Pilot Elite, I own a 2017 HR-V & 2017 CR-V. Living in Minnesota I need really good heat! My HR-V is a hot little bugger but, the CR-V struggles to keep its heat at 40mph or less. At highway speed it not to bad. When I retire I want to crawl into a nice warm vehicle, and the Passport looks SO cool.
I put $500.00 down on a black on black Passport Elite, its to arrive at the dealership sometime this week.

Gary,
Congrat's on the new one. My dealer got two units in and fortunately, one was exactly what we wanted. The other was the black on black elite. I got to look it over. Beautiful car. It is a real head turner. Good luck with delivery this week.

Hello Gary! Welcome! Do you run a block heater in your vehicles? I'm thinking of installing one in my Passport. Thoughts?

 

[GaryDahl]

My passport spends most of his time in the garage, 10 hours a day in the parking lot. We are using 0w-20w oil, very thin oil, won’t be hard to turn over on a cold Minnesota winter night. I’m going to pass on the block heater, if need be I would get a larger cold cranking amp battery 🔋
