While it came with rugged features like skid plates and mountain-themed emblems, it didn’t offer significant improvements in ground clearance or torque management compared to the standard Passport. Although Honda made some minor updates in subsequent years, the original model’s shortcomings meant that the TrailSport struggled to establish itself as a genuine off-road vehicle.
