- I can certainly say I enjoyed my dose of Honduzu ownership. I sold my 1999 Honda Passport due to one critical dealbreaker! I already bought a replacement, so stay tuned for that...

When i was a kid, maybe between 9 and 12, we used my family's 98' Isuzu Rodeo in silver to travel and sight see across the country. I sat alone in the back but we always brought the 12V-to-120V ac converter hooked up in the back cargo 12V outlet, and i'd plug my PS1 and a 5 inch RCA TV facing back, stuffed in between the front 2 seats on the armrest. Anyway we traveled all over the US; Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, we went all over in that Rodeo. I didnt really think much about the SUV at the time, what kid does. But these things hold a special something in my heart whenever i see them, especially in the silver pre-facelift 98/99's.
Yeah right! They're special little trucks for sure. Miss mine
While we never had a Passport, we had its cousin for a few years; an Isuzu Rodeo. It was 2000, my father had surprised me when he picked me up from school. That Rodeo is what drove my love for SUVs. After that, he sold the Rodeo and got a 2003 Nissan Xterra for the family.
Nice! Rodeos especially are so nostalgic
Well technically the passport isn't a Honda at all. It's a badge engineered Isuzu.
finally someone who knows its NOT fuckin honda' kudos to you for actually looking at this thing
I appreciate that! Yeah man. Since childhood I’ve liked these so it’s nice I got to experience one for a bit, but I’m happy I’ve moved on 😂
It was an interesting buy for sure, but I certainly don’t blame you for wanting to get something a bit more comfortable. I’m excited to see what you get next!
Thank you!! I'm excited to share!!
Excited to see what your replacement is for this! I'll miss Marley, but onto better things!
Onto much better things!!
I just bought a pretty clean 2001 Rodeo LS manual 4x4 and just about everything you stated is the truth. However, with a few upgrades it’s going to make a nice off roader for me in Colorado. The manual is what really sold me after reading about the auto transmissions in these. Good content!
Thank you! I'm jealous! I drove a manual 2WD Rodeo a few years ago and it was a blast LOL. Yours will serve you well!
The manual trans v6 will always be my unicorn. I daily a 2wd rodeo for the past 5 years. I decided 2 years ago to jump the gun on a 4wd v6 manual rodeo but the seller backed out. A week later I settled for a automatic passport. Im almost 40 and My 2nd car was an isuzu trooper II inline 4 4x4 here in socal. It's a great plattform and worth its lore.
@@aldousrmaximus1775 I'm loving it so far. I have my OME full kit sitting in the garage waiting to be installed. Going with a 30.5" tire and all this together should get me to the places I need to go.
@@trailstokemtbome kit for passport/rodeo?
@@erict1144 yes
It's sad to see it didn't last, I quite like small SUVs.
The best part of this is the anticipation of what will come next :)
Indeed!!
"but you do have an ashtray for the children to smoke and toke" 😂
😆😆
I picked up a 2000 Honda Passport EX a couple of years ago and have only done preventative maintenance. Highly reliable for it's age. Unfortunately, I am 6'1 and with the sunroof feature, my head is usually touching the liner. Likely won't invest much more, but it's been great.
That's a nice little truck! It's cool seeing them with sunroofs. I don't see em often haha
I love my 2001 Isuzu rodeo!!!
Hell yeah!
The 3.2 v6 is also found in the TROOPER
Indeed it is!!
Just purchased two 2021 Honda Passports! Great vehicles!
Nice!!!
Old garbage in, old garbage out.
Love our 2020 Honda Passport Elite AWD (Black Copper Pearl)
Yup! 😂 I actually wanna buy a next gen Passport
ah dang wait you’re from maryland too? I’m in need of a winter / daily (local) just curious what ur price is?
I am! I sold it already unfortunately!
I had a 98 EX brand new. Overall I liked it, but it had a lot of gremlins. If I could find a clean one, I'd get one for nostalgia
Nice! Yeah I got mine for the nostalgia from my childhood
Try a 1st Gen sequoia. I love those things
So do I! They’re just huge 😂
Another great video. btw you said you fell into the rabbit hole researching engine options? did you find anyone who did the 5.7 enginve swap?
Thank you! Yeah! I saw a thread on PlanetIzuzoo! I don’t remember the guy’s name unfortunately
I have a post refresh 2001 Honda passport whited out front fascia and let me tell you I love it but man in city mileage is horrible I get about 14 to the gallon literally but on a full tank I can make it from Va to sc and back on one tank highway miles🙄
Damnn that’s impressive! Good little trucks
98/99 are the same. 00 was actually the refresh in the body and they went to the electronic throttlebody and ion sensing ignition.
Also, the 4.3 and 5.7 do not bolt up. If anyone is looking for a swap to bolt up to the trans, you need to look up gm 60° bolt pattern. Or you can swap the trans and tcase, but need a tcase with a passenger drop unless you axle swap the front to a solid axle with a driver's side drop and so on and so forth.
Great review. Shame you didn't get to see how they handle with some hd coils, torsion bars and wider set of tires. Also, you should drive a vehicross. With the aluminum body on a trooper frame there like 4x4 vettes lol.
Ohh interesting! Good to know. Thank you for watching too!
I’ve been wanting to find one of those!!
I just bought one '99 passport Honda 5 speed manual
Nice!! Good find
I actually have a really weird Honda Passport, it's originally from Texas So it's only Rear wheel drive because of that, I get slightly better fuel account than your average Passport but I'm from South Dakota.
Interesting!
0:21 Npc behavior x 1000
Seriously man, friggin pinecone
I have a 94, with 60k miles on it parked in the garage. It literally warns you it could roll if you turn too fast. But it looks good and is reliable.
Sweet little truck!!
Smoke and toke!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
You know it!!! 🤣🤣
r50?
Perhaps.. 😂
Newer Honda passports….always promising less for more money. Hope your new wheels are better . Anything better off road I’m sure.
Thank you sir! We’ll see what the future brings automotively!
Someone actually did that? You mean humanity didn't stop for your video?
An absolute tragedy!
huh i get 20 mpg in town
Lucky! V6?
Mine has 265,000 miles
Nicee
Send me your email and I have a question about the locks cuz my other Honda did not do that noise at all there's something wrong.
