Bob Boyte Honda - How the 2026 Honda Passport's i-VTM4® AWD and TrailWatch™ Make Travels Smoother around Pearl, MS
If your weekend plans alternate between state park trails and errands around town, the 2026 Honda Passport has the kind of authentic capability that keeps life simple. The second-generation i-VTM4® AWD System and available Off-Road Tuned Suspension work together to deliver poised traction when roads turn to gravel, while available TrailWatch™ gives you low-speed camera views that reveal rocks, ruts, and curbs hiding just out of sight. Instead of overthinking every approach angle or worrying about a tight, tree-lined trailhead, you can focus on the route and your passengers. That blend of composure and clarity is exactly what makes the Passport a favorite for drivers who want strength without the stress.
What stands out about i-VTM4® AWD is how seamlessly it transfers torque to the wheel that needs it. You feel it most on uneven surfaces and in quick transitions from dry pavement to damp clay or sand. The system supports confident cornering on-road and stable progress off-road, reshaping expectations for an SUV that still rides calmly on the commute. Layer in TrailWatch™—ideal for threading between boulders, easing over washboards, or guiding into a tight campsite—and you get a fuller picture of what’s happening where it matters: near the ground, at the tire contact patches. Add available trail-focused accessories like HPD™ Rock Sliders, HPD Front Scuff Plate, a Cargo Utility Light, and an accessory Full-Size Spare Tire Kit (coming soon), and the Passport becomes a tailored partner for the way you travel.
- Rocky trailheads: The second-generation i-VTM4® AWD System helps distribute torque across the rear axle for steady, predictable grip.
- Slick boat ramps: Available Off-Road Tuned Suspension and AWD traction help the Passport ease in and out with confidence.
- Uneven construction detours: Composed chassis tuning maintains stability when the pavement gets patchy.
- Loose gravel and sand: Torque-vectoring capability supports momentum without excessive wheelspin.
- Tight parking areas on the trail: Available TrailWatch™ shows obstacles close to the vehicle so you can maneuver precisely.
Set up your Passport with TrailSport or TrailSport Elite for the most trail-ready look, and consider accessory wheels—White Alloy Wheel or Rugged Black Wheel—to align style with function. If you load up camping bins, recovery gear, or camera equipment, the accessory MOLLE Panel Set keeps essentials organized and accessible along the cargo walls. When daylight fades, the Cargo Utility Light brightens the area for quick pack-ups, and the Tailgate Table Shelf provides a convenient spot to prep meals or stage tackle. These add-ons reinforce what the powertrain and AWD hardware already promise: confidence built into every step of your trip.

Is the second-generation i-VTM4® AWD System always active?
The system continuously monitors conditions and can proactively shift torque to support traction and stability, so you get confident control on dry pavement and on changing surfaces without toggling between complicated modes.
Do I need TrailWatch™ if I stay on pavement most of the time?
TrailWatch™ is available and especially helpful on tight trails and uneven surfaces, but it also proves useful in everyday situations like threading into narrow garages, navigating high curbs, or avoiding unseen obstacles when parking.
Can I add trail-focused accessories later?
Yes. Many Honda Genuine Accessories—like HPD™ Rock Sliders, HPD Front Scuff Plate, accessory wheels, the accessory MOLLE Panel Set, and the Cargo Utility Light—can be added after purchase, so you can upgrade your Passport as your adventures evolve.
