FIRST DRIVE: This is the updates 2024 Honda Passport Trailsport from Honda. On the outside you will find all new wheels wrapped in true off-road tires and the availability of a skid-plate.On the inside you will be greeted by an updated center console. Under the hood is a 3.5L V6 that is mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. Does the 2024 Honda Passport Trailsport have the RIGHT changes to make it BETTER?

Not easy to change and have to special order. So you can change to LED bulbs easy. Be happy it’s old school and best of both worlds. Honda saved everyone money and aggravation for future.

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.

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.

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...
