Frequently Asked Questions

Do all Honda Passport trims have the same towing capacity?
Yes, all new Honda Passport SUVs have the same towing capacity. Thanks to standard i-VTM4 AWD and a robust 3.5-liter V-6 engine, each 2025 and 2026 Honda Passport trim boasts a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.

How does the Honda Passport SUV's towing capacity compare to other Honda SUVs?
The Honda Passport SUV's towing capacity matches that of its larger three-row SUV sibling, the Honda Pilot. Both of these midsize SUVs can pull up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. If you're seeking a two-row Honda SUV with a high tow rating, consider the Passport over the CR-V, as the latter can tow a maximum of 1,500 pounds when properly equipped.
Can the Honda Passport tow a camper or a small boat?
Yes, the Honda Passport can tow a camper trailer or a small boat, as long as the total weight of the trailer and what's on top of it does not exceed this SUV's maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds (when properly equipped). Before utilizing your Honda Passport towing capacity, review the weight of the small boat or camper trailer you plan to hook up.
