    I’ve had a 2020 passport for about 6 months and it has been a great dependable car great for road trips or camping. Very comfortable and surprisingly quick, my only complaint is that the suspension is noisy.

    Great review Sarah! I love your personality! I'm super impressed by the 2019 Passport too! Before I bought mine, I had a 2015 Forester XT in satin white pearl just like you did. I downsized the wheels to 18's and stuck on 32 inch all-terrain tires, lifted it 2 inches and trimmed the front bumper :P The crazy thing is it actually handles better onroad now, but that's because I had the EX-L trim that came with 245mm tires instead of the Elite's 265mm tires.

      Great review Sarah...I actually got a 2022 TrailSport after seeing your review, Jon's overlanding videos and also Redline Reviews. I want to get into light overlanding and am confused with lift and tires. My car comes with 245/60r18 with all seasons. Whats the biggest A/Ts' I can get without cutting bumper or lift? Can I use 255/70r18 A/T's on my car without mods or do I have to stick to stock tire sizes? Thanks love my new Passport.

      @@nng1979 a 30.4” tall tire would fit without rubbing. Many people run 265/60R18 which is a 30.5” x 10.4” tire with minimal rubbing at 90% steering lock. 255/70R18 is a 32.1” x 10.0” tire. The only way to runs these are to cut metal wheel well or purchase the Traxda axle relocation kit. The lift kit alone will not help you clear taller tires. Actually, the cut or relocation kit will clear the tires without a lift.

    I've got the Acura TLX with the J-series V6 and the ZF9 gearbox. The gearbox is crazy. Its got two dog clutches in there, and it makes for some weird shifting. The transmission is begging to be a manual! I only every drive it with the paddle shifters to keep it from going crazy. I didn't like it at first, but then I began to like that I needed to sort of try and tame it. Its a wild transmission with a mind of its own and doesn't want to shift when it supposed to when its in auto. Even with the paddles, its got some violent shifts. But I love it!

    This video just about tipped me over from Toyota to Honda. I was looking at the 2021 Rav4 TRD. Saw a bunch of reviews of last year’s Rav4 TRD Off Road (including yours). I was overall disappointed in the Rav4. You mentioned the power was lacking in the Rav4 but it seems the Passport has it. Guess I’ll have to go do some test drives. Additionally, if I were to purchase the Honda Passport elite, for the price I could just go with a 4runner, sacrificing a tad more fuel economy. I love Toyota, but Honda makes a great engine.

    It probably has torque clutch vectoring like Explorer which will eventually sometimes still slip if the computer sensing fails, but until it does it's almost like front and rear lockers. The trucks you had were probably only auto limited slips with only rear locker. Power Wagon should do better locked since it does have both.

  • @lonelywind3511
    @lonelywind3511 5 років тому

    The little crossovers climb better due to the weight distribution. Pickup trucks by their nature have light rear ends compared to the weight in the front. So especially going up hill while there is plenty of power it is not transferred to the ground as well. But if you were to put 500 lbs or so in the rear the trucks would do much better on up hill climbs. Especially true for the big super duty truck you previously reviewed. Being blunt, your off road looks like a Sunday drive for the family car.

  • @K03sport

    Since you tested both this and the Rav4 TRD, which did you like better? I know hard to completely compare, but I need light off road ability ( camping, hiking, mtn biking) but need mileage as a daily driver that travels dirt roads daily for work. I like the extra space of the Passport and the motor, but I wonder if I'll miss the possibly slightly better off-road ability of the Rav in TRD or Adventure. Thanks for any input or ideas from your or others. I've narrowed down my search to these 2 cars and now hard to decide. Thanks.

    Which (if any) of the current crop of utility vehicles has this much off-pavement cabibility AND as much useful space inside as the '87 and '89 Isuzu Trooper?

    I found the passport to be a nifty ride but it kind of looks like a ford exploder in the rear

    Question: As you were so impressed by the Passport and it got just 2,5 meatballs - what does a car/truck have to do to get 5? :D

    Sarah, your videos are so fun to watch. I really like the vehicle reviews. I'd love to be in the passenger seat for one of them! Hugs !
