While making my purchase decision, I was frustrated that I couldn't find any photos that showed how the hitch would integrate into the rear bumper with the Adventure Package. Here's the photos from when we picked up our Passport from the dealer with the hitch installed.

Appreciate you sharing these. I was hoping that it would be discreet and hidden and it looks like that's the case. What are you planning on towing with it? Curious to see what sort of fuel economy this car will get with a proper load.

I'll be using the hitch receiver for mounting a camera rig as part of my company as well as pulling small camping trailers. I'm looking into some of the AirBNB style camper rental sites to try out various styles. I plan to buy a trailer some time down the road and I'd like to start learning what I like. Does anyone have any experience with Outdorsy or RVShare?

...did u do the transmission cooler thing so u can tow at 5k?

It's a good question. The salesperson told us that all of the AWD transmissions have the cooler standard, but that's not the way I read it on the Honda website. I'm not planning to tow anything close to 5k lbs at the moment, but I'm planning to have a mechanic confirm it before I do.

Absolutely a new panel, but I'm contemplating putting on a front hitch which might require some cutting .

This is a Touring AWD. They definitely replaced the lower panel and it is matte to match the rest of the black fenders and bumper. I'm not sure how the Elite might differ.

What wheels and tires are those? They look good. Need those on mine.

These are 265/60R18 Nitto Ridge Grappler in the aggressive orientation mounted to Black Rhino York 18" Rims in Matte Black.

I have the same color in Elite. Did you purchase the running boards and cross bars from dealer? Looks GREAT!

Thanks! Yes, they came as part of the "Adventure Package B (Touring)" that we added when we purchased the car.
