The Bold Move: Honda's Decision to Keep the V6 in the 2026 Passport TrailSport

Is the 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport actually off road capable, or is it just a sticker package? In this comprehensive review, we push the new Passport to the limit to find out. Unlike the competition moving to turbos and hybrids, Honda kept the naturally aspirated V6, but is that enough to compete with the Toyota 4Runner or Jeep Grand Cherokee? We inspect the underbody "Powersports" engineering, test the real-world driving dynamics on and off-road, and give you the honest truth about the transmission quirks and tech bugs. 2026 Hyundai Palisade XRT PRO Review: The $50K Family Off Roader Reality Check https://youtu.be/zaEAUNV8pjU ——————————————————————— // MY AMAZON STORE with my favorite things for drivers https://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-4cc174af (this is an affiliate link) /// MERCH Pick up some sweet merch in our store! https://brian-makse-shop.fourthwall.com/ /// SUBSCRIBE Subscribe NOW to Brian Makse's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=brianmakse /// SOCIAL Instagram: http://Instagram.com/BrianMakse Twitter: http://Twitter.com/BrianMakse Facebook: http://Facebook.com/MakseAttack Spotify: https://sptfy.com/brianmakse Link In My Bio: https://makse.com/linkinbio/ /// MORE About Brian: http://makse.com/about /// WHAT I'M LISTENING TO Real AF With Andy Frisella https://andyfrisella.com/blogs/realaf-podcast Be sure to let us know what you think about this video and smash the subscribe button if you haven’t already!
