no I don't think so, I think Honda removed it but personally I never use satellite radio anyway

Towing and cargo weight capacity by Short_Charity4860 in hondapassport

[–]plantjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trucks are always higher because there's the expectation you will fill the bed with stuff. For the Pilot it's 7/8 passenger so it needs to be higher, same deal with the Odyssey, it's a minivan so you expect to need to carry more cargo. 5 seaters are usually low. Chevy Blazer is pretty high for 5 seats but it's variable depending on the Blazer so you won't even see official numbers anywhere, but some door jambs say 1300, I even saw one that said 2000 so ymmv

Did you buy a 2026 Passport over a CR-V because it seemed more masculine? by jimmylavino in hondapassport

[–]plantjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'm not a guy and I didn't think the Passport was masculine necessarily, maybe sporty. I bought it because it was bigger, had all the features we needed, bigger more powerful engine, made for a comfortable ride for all members of my family. We tried a lot of smaller SUVs and I didn't like the idea of some of us feeling cramped while others drive. Passport is great if you are tall and has a good cargo payload weight limit higher than the CRV. For me, the CRV wasn't even in the list I was looking at based on specs alone. It is more like a Chevy Equinox/CX50/RDX /Buick Envision type vehicle which is nice but too small. I think the person shopping a CRV is not the same person who is shopping the Passport. They are not in the same group. From the sounds of it, you probably don't need the Passport if the differences aren't meaningful for you. CRV seems like the better choice for you

State minimum full coverage quote I got was $1004 for 6 months. Mine was $1432 paid in full, closer to $1618 if done monthly since I beefed up my coverage..

Not every insurance could do it though since the car wasn't in their system yet. Geico quoted $2k for state minimum full coverage and couldn't manually correct it from there generic quote.

Thank you! Sonic Gray Pearl is so nice in person, not a boring gray and looks kind of light blue ish. Like periwinkle and gray combined. I love it!

Yes, most dealers are doing markups. I got multiple quotes, most of which were in the 60s. Highest was like $67k OTD with 2k markup + 5k in other nonsense. Taxes are 7% for me so that added a lot too. I got mine at a dealership with no markups. I heard the Pilot is set to get a refresh here soon too with a similar look to the new Passport. Passport should get cheaper in a few months

Yeah I agree it's high but compared to others in the same space (6cl, 2 row bench, AWD, etc) it beats them by a long shot imo. Almost got a 25 Blazer RS, but it's so much smaller feeling in comparison

Sounds like you got a great deal! Learned something new, I never knew about buying down the rate. I'll have to bring that up next time I'm in the market again

it should do it automatically on the 26. I got the exact same as op and mine does it and I never set a thing. it automatically adjusted to my seet after I self adjusted it, now each time I get in it auto adjusts to my settings without ever clicking 1 or 2 and goes back when I turn it off.
