We compare the Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro with the new Honda Passport Trailsport. The Toyota 4Runner is pretty clearly built for the hardcore off-road crowd, while the Honda is posing as an off-roader. But when the pavement ends, which is a more livable daily driver? We took the 4Runner and Passport on a long drive to find out, and to compare the real-world MPGs.

Can't go wrong with Honda or Toyota...I did try both and ended up buying my wife the Passport it just drives so darn smooth on the hwy and absorbs road bumps a lot better than the 4-Runner...the 9 speed trans in the Honda is by far better than the Toyota shifting wise...as far as reliability goes we all know like I said before you can't go wrong with either one and I've owned both products since the late 80's so I can comment on that fact.

My dad has a Passport and it's awesome, and I feel a lot of people don't understand the point of the vehicle. It is a very good "all-use" SUV. It does everything well. Not amazing in anything accept acceleration and I think cargo space for it's class (non luxury mid-sized SUV), but well at everything. It isn't as off-road worthy as a Jeep (both GC and Wrangler), but it's more reliable. It isn't as off-road worthy as a 4 runner either, but it's quicker handles better, and most of all, it's better on gas. It isn't as good on gas as a Ford Explorer, a Nissan Moreno, or a two-row highlander, but it's probably better off road than they are. It's a solid all-rounder of an SUV.

I think the real truth of this test was well stated at 17:09 The younger version of me would buy the 4Runner without a care about total cost and increased expense at the pump. The now older version of myself would appreciate the extra room, lower cost, and better fuel efficiency of the Passport. If you aren't going offroad 10+ times a year then the Passport is the more sensible option. If you offroad more often then you will get the value of the extra expense out of the 4Runner. Good comparison.

The 4runner would last longer honestly. My mom has a 2016 Pilot, bought in 2015... not impressed with overall quality. It ate 2 fuel injectors & a caty converter, barely under warranty. The seats are terrible, most uncomfortable seats I've ever experienced. She wanted a three row commuter, between this a Highlander and a Buick Enclave,wanted me to pick it out because I'm the family "car" guy. I chose the Honda over the Toyota... big mistake. My younger brother bought a 2017 Highlander the following year, the Toyota is the better vehicle.

@@HandyTot People really underestimate how many places you can go with picking a good route (you don't always have to take the most extreme trail to get to a campsite or destination), picking the easiest line, some high quality tires, airing down for the conditions you'll be driving in, using some basic tools like a shovel/traction boards, and just general offroad driving experience. Of course, if off roading is your hobby this isn't for you, a BOF SUV or truck, or something like a Jeep with 2 solid axles is always gonna do that stuff better, but if you just want to get to cool places in your daily driver and you're willing to learn how your AWD system works, what the limits of your vehicle are and how to use their hardware/software systems to your advantage, many people will be well served by this current generation of more capable crossovers. I'm coming from a built GX470 and I'm now considering the new Pilot or one of the Subaru Wilderness vehicles because they seem like great daily drivers that have the capability I need for those 5 or 6 adventure trips each year.

He’s going back to the Passport next year he said. Love the review… I live in the desert. I go to work and back. Shopping. Take my mother to doc appointments. I love this thing.

Why would you choose this over a Pilot though? They are selling at pretty similar price points and the Pilot is more roomy. I'd think that especially for families the Pilot would be the better choice bc of the additional space in the back row. I'm between both cars. Sometimes I like to go on some dirt trails in the desert, so I'm thinking if their off-road versions would work for that.

Great video I've owned a 4Runner and recently just bought a Passport Trailsport. I think a more even comparison would have been the base 4runner SR5, which is what I had, but it is still superior to the Passport off-road. Before those, I had a base 4wd Nissan Xterra and it took me everywhere I wanted to go off-road in Arizona. 4Runner obviously did also, although I liked the smaller size of the Xterra. I have only taken the Passport off road once, mild trail. But everywhere in Arizona is very rocky. I don't mean boulders or rock crawling but just millions of sharp jagged rocks, football size and smaller. The lack of underbody protection is my main concern with the Passport, though I just had minimal on my previous vehicles. I'm getting older so I won't be going off nearly as much as I used to that's why I got the Passport. My next vehicle will probably be a mobility scooter.

Nice review, had a 1998 4-Runner (Limited) for 17 years and 217k miles, it was the most reliable vehicle we ever owned (it was my wife's daily driver). Not the comfort and technology of today's vehicles, but a very solid SUV. Fast forward to 2019, when I was looking to go from a BMW 3-series and get my first SUV (a daily driver for me). First on my list was a 4-Runner, but upon closer inspection, I noticed that Toyota had NOT upgraded the engine and transmission in something like 15 years, which lead me to an AWD Passport. Swapped the stupidly designed 20" Low-Profile Tires/Wheels for some 18" AT's on Black Rhinos and I'm ready for anything! Well except that it NEVER snows in So. Cal. and I typically only get it up to (light dirt roads in) the mountains a couple of times year. But is is super smooth, powerful and quiet, I don't ven miss my two BMW's...

I looked into the other models but found the exl was the same car with a few less features. I wouldn’t necessarily take this car off roading but the 4 runner is the one if you need it for off road. The mpg is definitely better in the pp and so smooth. There’s lots of 4 runners around here and I’d take one if I could afford it

I had a 2021 Passport for 2000 miles and traded it for a new 2022 Toyota 4Runner (15k now). Couldn’t be happier with my decision. Definitely gave up on some road comfort, and gas mileage but the 4Runners reliability/LC Prada shared platform has kept me completely satisfied. It’s comfortable, spacious, I trust it to last much longer than the Passport with the old 4.0/ 5spd.

You nailed it. Last year I traded my Tacoma for a Passport. My Tacoma was a highway princess but the constant engine / transmission mismatch with that 3rd generation got old. I use to say a light breeze would cause my Tacoma to downshift. The Passport is a terrific highway machine, fantastic for long trips. The Toyotas great on the rocks and in the mud! Oh and as far as quality and reliability go having owned many Toyotas and Hondas my opinion is the difference is negligible with a slight edge to Toyota.

This is a good comparison but I’d imagine a lot of people buying the Passport are looking at the Jeep Grand Cherokee or the VW Atlas Sport and maybe the Toyota Venza. The 4Runner is going to be a better off roader because it has a lockable 4WD but for most people the Honda VTM4 is plenty. It’s a great AWD system. I just can’t wait for the new one since they’ll actually add more off road goodies.

It is amazing how the 5th gen 4Runner came out end of 2009 and it is still relevant and beats the competition over and over again. Honda Passport and Pilot are based on their minivan platform which is essentially the old Honda Accord V6 😂. If Honda wants to play with the big boys then need to come up with a ladder frame platform first then some durable transmissions. Honda keep producing below par products in the last two decades. What happened Honda? You guys use to build amazing vehicles back in late 80s and 90s.

They try to minimize cost of production it makes sense to do what they're doing when you consider that 90% of people won't push past what this Passport can do in offroading.

10% of my off roading is farm paths or fields, the Passport suits me for the 90% highway/rough back roads. the lack of skid plates can be fixed with aftermarket goodies (should be factory equipped). if the snow is too deep for the Passport, i need to stay home!

Nice review, I would say that the rear seats recline was a missed point. When I swapped out from driving i was able to recline back and sleep. Still not the most comfortable rear seats but its not the worst.

Honestly, I consider these totally different vehicles, and the driving dynamics would be the key differentiator to a prospective buyer. I'd reckon long-term cost of ownership would be a wash, as any fuel savings by the Pathfinder would likely be offset by slightly greater depreciation over time.

I've never owned either, but that 4Runner just looks amazing in terms of classic, legendary rugged manly trucks. It's been one of the best looking trucks on the road for a long time. By comparison the Honda looks almost like a small minivan inside and out. That said, I still really like the passport and would own one myself, it's a great medium sized SUV and is clearly superior on-road..in acceleration, handling, MPG, and overall comfort. But the 4runner obviously rules off-road, as well as in legacy, and simply blows the Honda out of the water in "truck" appearance. I would turn and look every time seeing that 4runner, and likely never even notice the Honda.

The 4 Runner looks a lot like the 2nd gen Tacoma and had the same power train which is dead reliable. Some models/years of Honda have had transmission issues. Both are great vehicles. I am a loyal Toyota guy and would take the 4 Runner.

Currently have FJ Cruiser, and while I don't go off road much, the Honda would be more than enough for me. But its those small things that I don't like. Big #1 is that push button shift selector. Hated in the Accord we had. #2 Roll down rear window. I will take that over auto-lift hatch. On that note, the money savings for the Honda is a big plus, just a little disappointed in Honda's recent reliability issues. So I don't know which I would buy! 😞

Trying to decide between 2024 Passport Trailsport and 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness. Main use case is driving on 4-6 inches of slushy snow, and occasional drive up to the ski resort on compacted, sometimes icy snow over hilly terrain. Which vehicle will do better, assuming similar snow tires?

Hey, what model year? Is this the newest model year Honda Passport Trailsport? The newest model Pilot, and I suppose Passport and maybe Ridgeline, have been beefed up considerably in it's off road capability, though obviously still no 4-Runner. ( sorry if the model year is listed in the video, I didn't see it) I do see where you say, at 7:18, that the Passport Trailsport is ONLY a styling change. Not so with the newest Trailsports. I't would be more valid to compare that NEW Trailsport to the 4-Runner. Might be at least a little closer.

Been buying Hondas since 1988. Pretty much every 2yrs. Got married, wife had a little Nissan sentra. Bought a 2000 sentra se. Honestly liked it better than the civics. 300k later, my son flipped it. Original clutch, no oil leaks. In 07, 3 kids and one on the way, honda odyssey. Still got it and driven daily. 14 accord, still have it, but just seems cheap. Quality not as good as it used to be. 6 manual trans. Now a proud owner of a 23 4runner sr5 premium 4wd. For the price, was cheaper than an odyssey, pilot, or passport. And a bullet proof trans. And a great engine. Best of all, body on frame. Don't believe you'll see much cast iron on that honda. And I average on road trips, 25 plus mpg.
