2026 Honda Passport TrailSport Blackout: O’Fallon Buyers Guide

Quick Answer: The 2026 Passport TrailSport Blackout

TrailSport Blackout is new for the redesigned 2026 Passport lineup, priced at $49,850 MSRP, exactly $1,200 above standard TrailSport. It’s an appearance package, not a new equipment tier: gloss-black 18-inch wheels replace TrailSport’s matte Shark Gray, HPD center caps and black Honda badges finish the look, and every mechanical piece underneath, the off-road-tuned suspension, all-terrain tires, skid plates, standard trailer hitch, and panoramic moonroof, carries over unchanged. Frank Leta Honda in O’Fallon stocks Blackout alongside the rest of the 2026 range.

What $1,200 actually buys here

Worth saying plainly: TrailSport Blackout is a look, not a capability upgrade. Swap the wheel finish to gloss black, add HPD center caps and black Honda badges over the grille and tailgate, and everything else on the spec sheet, the off-road suspension, all-terrain tires, underbody skid plates, standard Class III hitch, panoramic moonroof, Trail Info display, orange-stitched cabin, matches standard TrailSport exactly. If you already know you want TrailSport’s hardware and simply prefer the blacked-out aesthetic over matte Shark Gray wheels, this is a clean, predictable step up. If the wheel color doesn’t move you either way, the $1,200 buys nothing you can’t already get on standard TrailSport.

Who actually picks Blackout over standard TrailSport

In practice it’s buyers who’ve already decided on TrailSport’s capability and are choosing between two looks on the same lot, not a separate cross-shop against TrailSport Elite. Since the mechanicals are identical, the honest comparison is purely visual: stand a Shark Gray-wheeled TrailSport next to a Blackout in the showroom before deciding, the difference reads much more clearly in person than in photos.

What Frank Leta Honda buyers say about the TrailSport family

Al H., a Certified Pre-Owned Passport buyer, described a straightforward, low-pressure process the store applies across new and used trucks alike: “Purchased Honda certified passport. Would recommend dealership to friends. Dealership staff were very honest and upfront on all aspects of my purchase.” Doug Verby, who leased a new Passport alongside an Odyssey in the same visit, described the pace of the whole transaction: “Tracy Kelley helped my wife and I both lease cars from [Frank Leta Honda] — a 2026 Honda Odyssey and a 2026 Honda Passport. The communication throughout the process was great and not pushy. When I finally made the decision I was in and out in under two hours.”

Frequently asked questions

Is TrailSport Blackout a different trim from TrailSport?

It’s an appearance package built on the same TrailSport equipment list, not a separate capability tier. Wheels, center caps, and badges change; suspension, tires, skid plates, hitch, and interior stay identical to standard TrailSport.

How much more does Blackout cost than standard TrailSport?

$1,200 over TrailSport’s $48,650 MSRP, landing Blackout at $49,850 before the $1,495 destination charge, tax, and any accessories.

Does TrailSport Blackout have different off-road capability than TrailSport?

No. Ground clearance, approach and departure angles, skid plates, tow rating, and the off-road suspension tune are identical to standard TrailSport; only the wheel finish and badging change.

Is there a Blackout version of the RTL or TrailSport Elite too?

Honda’s factory order guide lists an RTL Blackout as well, but it sits outside the trim lineup this guide covers. On the upper end, TrailSport Elite Blackout is the flagship covered separately in this set, the same appearance treatment applied to TrailSport Elite’s fuller comfort package.

Where can I see a TrailSport Blackout near O’Fallon?

Check live Passport inventory at Frank Leta Honda, 500 Auto Mall Drive, O’Fallon, MO, or call the sales line to ask what’s currently on the lot in each finish.

Deciding between the two looks

Because the hardware is identical, this is one of the easier trim decisions in the lineup: pick the wheel finish you’ll actually enjoy looking at every day, since you’re not trading away or gaining any capability either direction. If comfort features matter more than the visual finish, TrailSport Elite is the bigger step up worth cross-shopping instead.
