Bob Boyte Honda Moss Point – How TrailWatch™ and i-VTM4® Add Real-World Confidence in the 2026 Honda Passport for Weekend Drives around Wiggins, MS

Weekend routes change. One minute you’re on fresh pavement, the next you’re easing down a sandy cut-through to reach a campsite or a boat launch. That’s where the 2026 Honda Passport’s available TrailWatch™ and second-generation i-VTM4® AWD system matter most, especially for drivers who want their SUV to be as comfortable on County Road 29 as it is on Highway 49. These systems shine when traction, visibility, and line choice make all the difference.

TrailWatch™ helps by projecting helpful camera views at low speeds, so you see what’s just beyond the hood or near the wheels when angles and brush block your sightlines. It’s equally useful when you’re backing into a tight spot at a trailhead or aligning with a small utility trailer at dusk. Pair that with i-VTM4® AWD — which can proactively shift torque to where it’s needed — and you get steady climbing on loose surfaces and more poised cornering in the rain. The result is the kind of easy confidence that makes you want to keep exploring.

Here’s how these systems come together in everyday scenarios:

  • Trail approach: TrailWatch™ shows useful angles to help you avoid ruts and rocks before you feel them.
  • Loose-surface starts: i-VTM4® sends torque where it’s needed, helping reduce wheelspin from a standstill.
  • Mixed-condition drives: The AWD system helps stabilize the vehicle as surfaces change from dry to slick.
  • Tight trailhead parking: Camera views assist with precision maneuvering when space is at a premium.

Beyond these capability features, the Passport’s cabin is built for real use. Durable materials handle sand and mud without complaint, while available organizational accessories like the MOLLE Panel Set keep recovery straps, first-aid kits, and tools exactly where you want them. Planning a longer stay? The Tailgate Table Shelf and Cargo Utility Light make it easier to prep meals and gear up after sunset. And with Honda Sensing® standard, you get collision-mitigation and lane support tech that brings calm assurance to the drive back home.

Local drivers value simplicity — features that work every day, not just on spec sheets. That’s why we highlight the accessory HPD™ Rock Sliders and HPD Front Scuff Plate. They’re designed to take the hits when the trail gets rough, and they add a confident, finished look to your SUV. If your weekend plans involve sandy boat launches or gravel access roads, these upgrades are more than cosmetic.

At Bob Boyte Honda Moss Point, we focus on helping you choose the right configuration. Whether you prefer Black or Brown interior themes, Sunset Orange or Ash Green Metallic, or a set of Rugged Black Wheels, our team will walk through how each choice supports your lifestyle. You’ll also appreciate our streamlined online process — review inventory, explore available packages, and set appointments at your convenience, backed by a helpful, responsive team serving Hattiesburg, Laurel, and Wiggins.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What makes TrailWatch™ useful beyond off-road use?

Low-speed camera views help with daily tasks — think angled driveways, tight parking lots, or connecting a small trailer without a spotter.

How does i-VTM4® feel on wet pavement?

By actively distributing torque, the system helps the SUV track more confidently through corners and transitions, giving you a planted, predictable feel in rain.

Which accessories should I prioritize first?

If you expect frequent trail use, start with HPD™ Rock Sliders and the HPD Front Scuff Plate. For organization, add the MOLLE Panel Set and consider the Tailgate Table Shelf for overnight trips.
