***I WANT TO START OFF BY SAYING, if you are looking for a vehicle to be an off-roader 1st, and a daily driver 2nd, then the Honda Passport shouldn't be your choice. BUT, if you are looking for a Daily Driver 1st, and an off-roader 2nd, then in my opinion, the Passport is a very very compelling choice!

Let's see if a 2 inch lifted 2019 Honda Passport, with rear sway bars disconnected, can follow a Toyota Landcruiser 100 series and a Lexus GX470 (Landcruiser Prado) up a difficult trail in Lytle Creek, CA. Please note that this is the trail difficulty listed by www.trailsoffroad.com on a scale from easy-moderate-difficult-severe-extreme.

Not many people know, but the AWD system found in the bigger Honda vehicles is pretty advanced, it's called iVTM4. It combines the standard traction control systems with a twin clutch rear differential (think electronically controlled mechanical limited slip differential with reduction gear sets). BUT, the main problem with AWD crossover/SUVs really seems to be the lack of wheel articulation. This is the first trail run where I am able to test to see how much of a difference this makes, and on a trail that's on the more difficult side.
