We are giving it a Serious look. We test Drove one and we love it. Reminded of us the late 90s Ford explorers we had. The prices for this is the biggest issue. We can afford it but The top trim Black is not a 48k vehicle. Should be about 42k . The lowest trim should be around 35k
@@Encourageable It’s a personal preference. Also most people would prefer a traditional truck feel even if they are buying an unibody crossover truck. Take a look at Hyundai Santa Cruz’s sale figures and you’ll understand why.

Not Dave but the transmission has 9 speeds and 2 of the gear changes are with dog clutches, it’s luck of the draw if it shifts abruptly on one of those in traffic or others gears. It’ll be jerky occasionally but other situations not at all, if you drive one you’ll see what I mean within a few minutes
I used to own a Honda Passport. It's actually a nice midsize SUV but doesn't have adequate front leg room. Not to mention, it is one of the ugliest SUV's on the market. Albeit, reliable and practical.

Respect for giving your real height of 5'11. So many dudes are a legit 5'9 but they always round up to hit that phycological 6 foot bench mark lol
Bring back the old school console shifter and I’ll buy one.
Totally agreed. It’s a deal breaker for me too. I’d choose one with it like the 2024 Toyota 4Runner.
I know right
Why? Do you feel like you can’t adapt to change?

I owned one for 4 years 75k miles. Just regular maintenance. Kinda boring vehicles but everything just works.
I wonder why Honda didn't add the 360-camera system to the new Passport trail ? They have it on the Pilot.
Thanks for the review, Dave. How did the 9-spd transmission feel in slow traffic? Any jerkiness?

Umm so why’d you buy one to begin with 😂? Who buys a vehicle that they think is ugly & doesn’t have decent leg room.
