If you want an off-road vehicle, Honda isn’t exactly the first brand that springs to mind. However, everything has its first time, don’t you think?
This is the brand-new Honda Passport for the US market. Absolutely, take a look at that SUV’s Sunset Orange paint job. In essence, Honda chose to adopt the Raptor’s strategy with the Passport’s TrailSport variant.

The TrailSport comes equipped with steel skid plates, flared fenders that hold 31-inch all-terrain tires on 18-inch wheels, an off-road tuned suspension that provides more ground clearance and improved approach/departure angles, and heavy-duty recovery hooks in bright colors in case the trail gets too difficult.
