2027 Honda Passport RTL vs RTL Towing: what's the difference?

The RTL Towing costs $700 more. Honda US checked October 18, 2026; excludes $1,595 , taxes, $455 extra-cost paint and dealer . It starts at $45,895, and the RTL at $45,195. As they come, nothing else differs.

Our Passport data has all six current US 2027 factory configurations, standard and Trail Torque Logic, wheels and roofs, TrailSport and Elite equipment, and core Function, Pet Protection and Tow manufacturer . It doesn't have paint/interior choices, Black Emblem add-ons, accessory wheels, dealer-installed accessories, order status and vehicle-specific towing approval yet, so something missing from this page may still be offered.
