When i was a kid, maybe between 9 and 12, we used my family's 98' Isuzu Rodeo in silver to travel and sight see across the country. I sat alone in the back but we always brought the 12V-to-120V ac converter hooked up in the back cargo 12V outlet, and i'd plug my PS1 and a 5 inch RCA TV facing back, stuffed in between the front 2 seats on the armrest. Anyway we traveled all over the US; Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, we went all over in that Rodeo. I didnt really think much about the SUV at the time, what kid does. But these things hold a special something in my heart whenever i see them, especially in the silver pre-facelift 98/99's.

While we never had a Passport, we had its cousin for a few years; an Isuzu Rodeo. It was 2000, my father had surprised me when he picked me up from school. That Rodeo is what drove my love for SUVs. After that, he sold the Rodeo and got a 2003 Nissan Xterra for the family.

finally someone who knows its NOT fuckin honda' kudos to you for actually looking at this thing

It was an interesting buy for sure, but I certainly don’t blame you for wanting to get something a bit more comfortable. I’m excited to see what you get next!

Excited to see what your replacement is for this! I'll miss Marley, but onto better things!

"but you do have an ashtray for the children to smoke and toke" 😂

I just bought a pretty clean 2001 Rodeo LS manual 4x4 and just about everything you stated is the truth. However, with a few upgrades it’s going to make a nice off roader for me in Colorado. The manual is what really sold me after reading about the auto transmissions in these. Good content!

It's sad to see it didn't last, I quite like small SUVs. The best part of this is the anticipation of what will come next :)

The 3.2 v6 is also found in the TROOPER

Just purchased two 2021 Honda Passports! Great vehicles!

I picked up a 2000 Honda Passport EX a couple of years ago and have only done preventative maintenance. Highly reliable for it's age. Unfortunately, I am 6'1 and with the sunroof feature, my head is usually touching the liner. Likely won't invest much more, but it's been great.

I love my 2001 Isuzu rodeo!!!

Try a 1st Gen sequoia. I love those things

ah dang wait you’re from maryland too? I’m in need of a winter / daily (local) just curious what ur price is?

I had a 98 EX brand new. Overall I liked it, but it had a lot of gremlins. If I could find a clean one, I'd get one for nostalgia

98/99 are the same. 00 was actually the refresh in the body and they went to the electronic throttlebody and ion sensing ignition. Also, the 4.3 and 5.7 do not bolt up. If anyone is looking for a swap to bolt up to the trans, you need to look up gm 60° bolt pattern. Or you can swap the trans and tcase, but need a tcase with a passenger drop unless you axle swap the front to a solid axle with a driver's side drop and so on and so forth. Great review. Shame you didn't get to see how they handle with some hd coils, torsion bars and wider set of tires. Also, you should drive a vehicross. With the aluminum body on a trooper frame there like 4x4 vettes lol.

Old garbage in, old garbage out. Love our 2020 Honda Passport Elite AWD (Black Copper Pearl)

I have a post refresh 2001 Honda passport whited out front fascia and let me tell you I love it but man in city mileage is horrible I get about 14 to the gallon literally but on a full tank I can make it from Va to sc and back on one tank highway miles🙄

Another great video. btw you said you fell into the rabbit hole researching engine options? did you find anyone who did the 5.7 enginve swap?

I just bought one '99 passport Honda 5 speed manual

I actually have a really weird Honda Passport, it's originally from Texas So it's only Rear wheel drive because of that, I get slightly better fuel account than your average Passport but I'm from South Dakota.

0:21 Npc behavior x 1000

I have a 94, with 60k miles on it parked in the garage. It literally warns you it could roll if you turn too fast. But it looks good and is reliable.

r50?

Smoke and toke!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Newer Honda passports….always promising less for more money. Hope your new wheels are better . Anything better off road I’m sure.

huh i get 20 mpg in town

Mine has 265,000 miles

Someone actually did that? You mean humanity didn't stop for your video?

Send me your email and I have a question about the locks cuz my other Honda did not do that noise at all there's something wrong.
