Expert Answers about Honda Passport


  • Will the Tekonsha Prodigy Trailer Brake Controller Work On a 2019 Honda Passport
  • I do have a great brake controller option for a 2019 Honda Passport but there are no plug-in-play adapters. Therefore, the Tekonsha Prodigy Trailer Brake Controllers won't be your best option since they would all require splicing into the vehicle. Instead, I highly recommend the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 which does not require any splicing. It just requires a 7-way trailer connector like the 4 to 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7L.

  • Is It Safe To Tow Trailer That Is Not Level?
  • If the nose of your trailer is nose down when hooked up to your vehicle it will cause additional tongue weight on the hitch which could in theory lower your fuel economy, but I do not have an exact figure. As long as the extra tongue weight on the hitch is not exceeding the capacities of your vehicle or hitch it is not unsafe, but is also not ideal. I recommend using a different pintle hook mount like the Pintle Hook Mount, 12-1/2" Tall, 8K # 63058 which will allow you to tow your trailer...

  • What is Needed to Install Trailer Hitch on 2019 Honda Passport
  • To install a Class III 2-inch hitch on your 2019 Honda Passport all you need is a hitch like the Draw Tite part # 76290 which fits your vehicle and is the correct size and basic hand tools as this comes with all of the needed hardware to complete the install. In the install instructions a 21 mm socket and ratchet is listed, a tap in the size of M14x1.50 IF the threads on your weld nuts happen to be dirty, and a torque wrench. The hitch and cargo carrier won't interfere with the hands free...

  • Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2021 Honda Passport
  • For your 2021 Honda Passport the tow mirrors I recommend are the universal K-Source Mirrors part # KS69ZR since there aren't any custom fit options for your vehicle and these fit well, provide an excellent viewing angle and are very stable.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Best 2024 Honda Passport Trailer Hitch and Wiring Setup
  • I really like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e44AR for your 2024 Honda Passport because it's the only option with a matte black finish that not only looks better, but is also more durable than the classic glossy black we see on the other hitches for your Passport. Then for wiring you can either go with the 4-Way # C56291 or the 7-Way # CU86FR depending on what type of connector your trailer has. I also recommend picking up the No-Drill Bracket # C57202 along with the 4-Way Bracket...

  • Best Bike Rack for Pedego Intercepter E-Bike
  • The best option we have for a Pedego Intercepter E-Bike is the Thule EasyFold XT 2 E-Bike Platform Rack part # TH903202 because it has an integrated ramp so you don't have to worry about lifting the bikes up in the air each time and the unique frame clamp system works perfectly for attaching step-through frame bikes. This is really the only bike rack on the market with ramps that can be used on bikes with a basket or fender. I know this is an expensive option but it's certainly worth it....

  • Mounting A 7-Way Connector To A 2020 Honda Passport
  • You're correct that this hitch is already set up with a mounting bracket. When you look at the product images on the page for the Draw-Tite # 76290, you'll notice that there is a bracket included to the left of the receiver. I've confirmed with the manufacturer that this bracket is designed for electrical connections to be mounted to the frame of the hitch, such as the one for the 7-way that is included in the Tekonsha T-One # 118291. While the # PK12711U is an excellent product that...

  • 7-Way and Brake Controller for 2021 Honda Passport Towing Camper with Brakes
  • To tow a trailer with brakes with your 2021 Honda Passport you'd first need to install the 7-way kit part # 118291 which is the same connector as your Flagstaff 228BHSE. Then for a brake controller we have the very easy solution of the Curt Echo Mobile wireless brake controller # C51180 which once plugged into an active 7-way and synced to a smart phone is read to tow without any additional wiring.

  • 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...

  • 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 Roof Rack For a 2023 Honda Passport With Factory Raised Roof Rails
  • I recommend installing the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack on your 2023 Honda Passport with the factory raised roof rails. This rack consists of the Crossbars # TH711420 and Feet # TH710401. I prefer this system as the aerodynamic cross bars have a 2 piece seal on the t channel. This allows you to easily slide channel mounted roof rack accessories into your channels without having to cut your channel strips. The Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450800 will allow you to secure the roof...

  • Parts Needed to Install Snow Plow on 2000 Honda Passport
  • The plow kit you referenced of # K286109 for the bracket kit and the # K2RAMP8219 for the plow is exactly what you would need to allow your 2000 Honda Passport to plow your driveway. The install of the hardware kit and plow would not be too difficult. As long as you have access to basic tools and have basic mechanical skills it would be no problem at all.

  • Best Looking Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2023 Honda Passport
  • I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e44AR as the best looking receiver for your 2023 Honda Passport. This receiver has a matte black finish which will match with the factory accent panels. It has a hidden cross tube so the only part of the receiver that is visible is the 2" receiver tube and safety chain loops. The Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56291 will allow you to connect to the factory harness on your Passport. This will give you a 4-way flat connector for towing most small...

  • How Easy Is It To Install Curt Echo Wirless C51180 In 2021 Honda Passport?
  • It is pretty easy to install a trailer brake controller like the Curt Echo Wireless # C51180 on your 2021 Honda Passport. If you already have a factory 7-way connector your will just need to plug the Echo into your 7-way connector and then plug your 7-way trailer connector into the Echo. If you do not already have a 7-way connector you will need to add one using the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # 118291 which will plug into the factory harness of your Passport,...

  • 7-Way Trailer Wiring Harness and Brake Controller Recommendation for 2021 Honda Passport
  • A taillight converter combines 3 circuits, left turn signal, right turn signal and brake lamps into two circuits. Once installed, you'll have two circuits; left turn combined with brake lamp and right turn combined with brake lamp. This is necessary because the trailer uses a 2 wire system instead of the 3 wire system used on the tow vehicle. I'd recommend the Tekonsha # 118291. The Passport is prewired for a brake controller so installation will be a plug and play proposition. For a fairly...

  • Easy to Install Brake Controller for 2020 Honda Passport
  • If you already have a 7-pin connector on the back of your Passport then, by far, the easist solution is the Curt # C51180 Echo Wireless Brake Controller. Simply plug one side into your tow vehicle 7-pin connector and plug your trailer into the other end. If you do not have a 7-pin connector you will have to start by installing the Tekonsha # 118291 wiring harness. This will easily install and provide the connections you need for trailer lighting and brakes. Fortunately the Honda has...

  • Hitch for 2021 Honda Passport for Using Rhino Rack T-Load Hitch Load Assist
  • Yes, the Rhino Rack T-Load Hitch Load Assist part # RTL002 can be used on a 2021 Honda Passport. You'd just need to have a 2 inch hitch installed on the vehicle as well like with the Curt part # C13421 which is a confirmed fit. I really like this hitch because it has an easier install, has great towing capacities, and is mostly hidden since only hitch opening hangs below rear bumper.

  • 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...
