To tow a trailer with your 2022 Honda Passport Sport you're going to need a trailer hitch receiver, trailer wiring harness, and a ball mount.

For the trailer hitch I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13421. Curt manufactures their hitches in the US for a quality you can trust. They have a superior gloss black powder coat finish over protective base coat that offers superior rust resistance compared to their competitors so you can trust that this hitch will have a long lifespan.

For the trailer wiring harness I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118291. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's factory tow package wiring harness. The connection point for the 7-way harness is located behind the rear bumper. The converter plugs into the factory wiring harness in your rear cargo area, on the driver's side. You will have to remove the floor covers, cargo trays, and some interior paneling to access this harness. Once you've plugged in the connector, insert the included fuses into your fuse panel as indicated in the instructions.

Once installation is complete, the 7-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket like # PK12711U is recommended to keep the connector secure.

For a ball mount kit I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 7,500lbs # 989900. This kit is a great starting point for pulling a utility trailer. It has a 2" and 4" drop as well as a 1" and 3" rise to keep your trailer level with your Honda Passport. It also includes a 1-7/8" and 2" hitch ball.
