Expert Answers about Honda Passport


  • Curt Echo or Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller for 2019 Honda Passport
  • For your 2019 Honda Passport I do recommend going with the Curt Echo Brake Controller # C51180. We honestly have not heard of any of the over-heating/electrical issues that you mentioned seeing and we do get a lot of customer feedback on this particular unit. This is actually a really great question because it's putting what many have believed for a long time to be the golden standard for trailer brake controllers with the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 against the new and unique Curt Echo...

  • Can Trailer Wiring of 2023 Honda Passport be Routed Underneath Vehicle Instead of Out Back Hatch
  • There is most likely a way to route the 4-way of the Curt # C56291 that fits your 2023 Honda Passport through the floor in the cargo area like you are wanting but we don't have a specific set of instructions on that since that's not how Curt designed the harness. You'd have to basically start taking apart the cargo area panels till you find the floor and look for a grommet in the bottom of it to pass the 4-way through. You may not find one but you could drill a hole with a hole saw kit...

  • Recommended Bracket To Mount 7-way Connector To 2021 Honda Passport
  • To mount the Hopkins Universal Mounting Bracket for 7-Way and 6-Way Trailer Connectors # HM48625 you would need to source 4 small nuts and bolts to secure the 7-way connector to the bracket. However I recommend going with the Mounting Bracket and Installation Hardware - Pollak 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector - Vehicle End # PK12711U as it already comes with the hardware needed for the installation. In addition if the trailer hitch receiver on your 2021 Honda Passport does not have...

  • Recommended Brake Controller for a 2020 Honda Pilot
  • The brake controller I recommend for a 2020 Honda Pilot is the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180. The Curt Echo is a plug and play option so there will be no permanent modifications to the vehicle. It uses a device you are already comfortable with, your phone so you don't need to spend time learning a new device. Furthermore, you won't need to drill into your dash for mounting like you would for a traditional brake controller which not only eliminates drilling but...

  • Trailer Wiring that Fits 2019 Honda Passport and Why Does it Store in Trunk
  • There is an odd referenced to a Subaru in the product description for the Tekonsha wiring kit part # 118809 but I can assure you this does fit your 2019 Honda Passport and is the correct and best kit to go with. I sent an update to have the page looked at so that would be fixed. Having the 4-way run out of the back hatch is actually the preferred method although it seems like it wouldn't be. Having the 4-way stored inside the cab of the vehicle keeps it protected from rain and moisture...

  • Will Curt Hitch for 2019 Honda Passport Allow Hands Free Lift Gate to Open
  • The Curt hitch part # C13421 that fits your 2019 Honda Passport will not interfere with the hands-free liftgate feature. You will likely have to kick your foot to one side of the receiver as opposed to the middle but that would be it.

  • Tow Mirrors Recommended for 2022 Honda Passport
  • Although we don't have a custom fit mirror option for the 3rd generation Honda Passport, we do offer a good universal fit option. I'd recommend the K-Source Dual Lens Universal Towing Mirror, part # KS3990. The dual mirrors provide a great field of vision, and the unique ratcheting strap system allows you to crank the mirror down to the factory mirror housing for a tight fit and minimal vibration. I've linked to a product demonstration video for the mirror I recommended.

  • Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2020 Honda Passport
  • For your 2020 Honda Passport, you will need to use a universal fit towing mirror because there are no custom fit mirrors available for your vehicle. The K-Source Mirrors part # KS3990 would be a really great option as they fit well on mirrors like what you have, are stable, and have two mirrors on each housing for increased visibility.

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller in 2019 Honda Passport
  • You are on the right track to install the 7-way and brake controller in your 2019 Honda Passport. The first thing you need is the 7-way part # CU86FR and then to install the P3 part # 90195 you'd just need the part # 3070-P and you'd be set. Then the mounting bracket part # HM48625 would work to mount the 7-way as well.

  • Can Trailer Hitch for 2020 Honda Passport Be Used with Weight Distribution System
  • The trailer hitches available for your 2020 Honda Passport are not rated for use with a weight distribution system. This likely has more to do with the vehicle than the hitch itself, as typically when a system isn't recommended it's because the vehicle frame just isn't built to handle the type of stress/torque that weight distribution puts on it. Between the hitch options available, I do recommend the Draw-Tite # 76290 because it offers higher weight capacities than the alternative and...

  • Could 2021 Honda Passport Tow a Sol Horizon Rover
  • At most the Sol Horizon Rover could weigh 4,000 lbs whereas I looked up the towing capacity of your 2021 Honda Passport and found that it could be rated between 3,500 and 5,000 lbs so depending on how your vehicle is equipped it could work. You'd need a higher rated hitch like the Draw Tite part # 76290 which is mostly hidden and has more capacity than needed.

  • Best Low Clearance Snow Chains for 2020 Honda Passport Tire Size 245/50-20
  • For your tire size of 245/50-20 that you have on your 2020 Honda Passport the best low clearance tire chains we offer are the Konig K-Summit Size K66 part # TH02230K66 which provide the best possible clearance since they do not drape over the inside of the tire's sidewall at all. They also install easily and provide great traction as well. Check out the install video I attached for more info on this as well.

  • Recommended Wiring Harness for Towing Travel Trailer With 2019 Honda Passport
  • In order to use the electric brakes on your travel trailer you will need a 7-way on your 2019 Honda Passport. I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118291. This comes with everything you need to add a 7-way on your vehicle. If you also need to tow a trailer with a 4-way connection you can always use an adapter like the # PK12716. In addition to the 7-way you will also need a brake controller. I recommend the Curt Echo Wireless...

  • Sway Control for 2021 Honda Passport with Draw Tite Hitch
  • Since the hitches that fit your 2021 Honda Passport are not rated for weight distribution use like the Draw Tite part # 76290 there isn't a system we can recommend to use with your vehicle as it may damage the vehicle frame due to the different stress these systems put on the vehicles. You can use a friction sway control unit like the part # 83660 though to help prevent sway from passing vehicles and high winds. The best way to fight sway though is with proper trailer loading. Getting...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Honda Passport Hitch with Best Ground/Bumper Clearance
  • We haven't yet had the chance to install either the Draw-Tite # 76290 or the Curt # C13421 on a 2019 Honda Passport, so those measurements aren't available to me, unfortunately. That being said, based on the photos I attached comparing the two, the receiver tube on the Draw-Tite hitch appears to be slightly higher and slightly shorter than the receiver tube on the Curt hitch. So, if you're looking for a hitch with the best ground clearance and that doesn't stick out much past the bumper,...

  • How to Carry Two Canoes on Roof of 2019 Honda Passport with Factory Crossbars
  • Your best option is to use the Thule Compass Watersport Carrier # TH890000. The Compass is compatible with round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars, including the ones on your 2019 Honda Passport. It can easily accommodate your two canoes, as long as their combined weight is not over 130 lbs, and they are not more than 36 inches wide (at their widest point). The Compass will allow you to carry your two canoes in a vertical (post-style) position so you have one on each...

  • Recommended Brake Controller For A 2022 Honda Passport LE
  • For your 2022 Honda Passport LE, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195. This is a great all around controller. Large accessible buttons and an LCD display make this very easy to use, even for first time towers. This will also be very easy to install. Provided your vehicle does have the factory tow package, you can use the plug and play pigtail # 3070-P. Just mount the controller and plug in. It really is that easy. I have linked our install and review videos below if you want to...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch With the Best Finish For A 2022 Honda Passport
  • I tend to prefer the look of the American made Curt hitch # C13421 for your 2022 Honda Passport as it is less obvious than the Draw-Tite once installed. This has a black powder coat finish over a protective base coat and I have found it to hold up very nicely. This is also a very quick and easy install that will require no drilling. I do need to mention that this, as with any hitch, will limit the area of the Hands-free Liftgate sensors to either side of the receiver opening. This is pretty...
