[SandS PP]

Hi All, We picked up our 2021 Elite a couple weeks ago. And all the posts and information here helped us feel confident in our selection. So thank you all!
We were waiting for a Touring, but with delivery delays we went ahead with the Elite. White wasn't really a target color, but I really like how sharp it looks with the complimentary black. I just can't do anything in the gray family, living in the gray PNW, where it just feels gray and silver blends in to the surroundings too much. We haven't done much to it yet other than purchasing a net and a cargo cover and washing it once.

We previously lived in Minnesota where we had a Cherokee and we're both very comfortable in the snow. I was nervous how the PP would feel in the snow and with the original wheels and tires, but it was an absolute joy. I love that we got enough snow to get out and really get a good feel for how it handles. And shortly after the photo, I got confident enough to break the tires free for an ear-to-ear grinning good time.

Looks awesome, make sure you run circles around everyone else who chooses to drive Junk and not pick up a beast of a Honda. Watch everyone spin out haha, amazing vehicle for the Winter.

Congrats and sweet looking ride! For someone who is ocd and washes his car twice a week I would never make it in snow country! I would like to drive in the snow one day lol.

@SandS PP Where are you located? We in Arlington. 8" here, took F150 out today...wife didn't want to dirty up her PP.

Deep south of Alabama.

Haha, sorry I was replying to the OP.

We're in the PNW too, and our one week old Passport had it first snow as well! We had such a blast driving around. Your white elite looks great in the snow!

Very nice, mine also saw snow for the first time this weekend when I went up to the mountains to snowboard.
Had to give it a good brush when I was heading down.

We're on the south end, past Tacoma. We probably had about 4"

Wait, what's snow again?

PP is great in the snow. The torque vectoring gets rid of understeer. I did a donut in the snow this morning in a snowy parking lot.

That's awesome, someday I would like to get my Touring AWD in the snow, to see how it and my A/T tires do...!

The Passport in it's elements! Welcome to the forum.

Congrats on the new PP and thanks for the snow report! My previous vehicle, Nissan Xterra riding on 16" Michelin Defenders, was awesome in the snow so I've been nervous about what to expect from the Passport with the stock tires.

I am starting my 2nd winter with my 2020 EX-L. A couple of weeks ago, we got 14" of snow. The PP ate it up. Last night, 5". The only reason it was slow-going was because all the morons, . . . eh. . . . . "winter-weather-challenged" decided 3 lanes on a freeway should be treated as a one lane road. Admittedly, the Ditch Magnets were turned up to 100%, sucking lesser vehicles off the road . . . .

White looks great! My 2019 Elite loves the snow here in Minnesota. Welcome to the group.

Nice update on your recent PP purchase. As an owner of a 2020 PP touring model living in Jackson, WY ,I highly recommend acquiring a set of highly rated snow tires for the winters. I noticed on the OEM AS tires in temperatures below 25degrees the handling was a bit unsteady on frozen snowy surfaces. In my second winter season with my 265/45R20 Blizzak DM- V2 the handling improves significantly. The key is a softer rubber and an aggressive trend. Not a fan of MY 20” wheels n tires but my OEM wheels in dark grey with my silver PP look great

I've lived in Wisconsin all my life - No, you wouldn't like to drive in the snow. 😂
