Honda Passport MPG, gas tank, tires, and towing
The 2026 Honda Passport gets 21 mpg combined (19 city, 25 highway), and the TrailSport gets 20 mpg, according to the EPA. Its tank shrank to 18.5 gallons with the redesign, so expect about 390 miles on a full tank, against about 410 miles for a 2019–2025 Passport with 19.5 gallons. All-wheel-drive Passports are rated to tow 5,000 lb.

EPA estimates for new vehicles from fueleconomy.gov (U.S. EPA and U.S. DOE), data retrieved November 12, 2026. Your mileage will vary with how and where you drive.
Gas tank size and range
Range is tank size times the EPA combined rating, a best case on a mild day. With a trailer, plan stops sooner: towing can take a third or more off. To cost out a drive, use the trip gas cost calculator.
| Years | Engine | Fuel tank | EPA combined | Range on a full tank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 3.5L V6 (DOHC) | 18.5 gal3 | 20–21 mpg | about 370–390 miles |
| 2019–2020 | 3.5L V6 | 19.5 gal1 | 21–22 mpg | about 410–430 miles |
| 2021–2025 | 3.5L V6 | 19.5 gal4 | 21–22 mpg | about 410–430 miles |
Passport tire size and pressure
Pressure depends on the tire. The 2019–2020 manuals list 35 psi for the 245/50R20 tire on Sport and EX-L, and 37 psi for the wider 265/45R20 on Touring and Elite. The 2026 manual lists 35 psi for both the RTL and TrailSport tires. We could not check a 2021–2025 manual, so for those years, and for any TrailSport on all-terrain tires, go by the label on the driver’s door jamb. If the warning light comes on, see tire pressure light.
| Years | Trim | Tire size | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | RTL | 265/60R183 | 35 psi | 35 psi |
| 2026 | TrailSport (all-terrain tires) | 275/60R183 | 35 psi | 35 psi |
| 2019–2020 | Sport, EX-L (20-inch) | 245/50R202 | 35 psi | 35 psi |

Passport towing capacity
The headline 5,000 lb has conditions. In the 2019–2020 manuals, 5,000 lb applies to all-wheel-drive models with the transmission fluid cooler from Honda’s towing kit; without it, and on front-wheel-drive models, the limit is 3,500 lb. The 2026 manual lists 5,000 lb with two people, dropping to 4,250 lb with five. Keep tongue weight near 10 percent of the trailer. The Honda Ridgeline shares the 5,000-lb rating with a pickup bed.
Recalls: check by VIN
Enter your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see open recalls on your Passport. The VIN is on the lower driver’s-side corner of the windshield and on your registration. Recall repairs at a Honda dealer are free.
What to record in your log
- Fill-ups with date, odometer, and gallons; two full tanks in a row give your real MPG. The MPG calculator does the math.
- Each Maintenance Minder code and what was done. The Passport adds code 7 for brake fluid.
- Whether your Passport has the towing kit’s transmission cooler. It decides whether you can pull 3,500 or 5,000 lb on a 2019–2020 model.
- Tire pressure checks, especially after a switch to all-terrain tires.
