Good to know
The questions shoppers ask most when weighing these two — answered with the verified facts.
Value comes down to the details. The TrailSport Blackout and R/T 392 are closely matched on price: $49,850 vs $49,995. Weigh the standard equipment each includes, their fuel economy, and the features you'll genuinely use. Cross-shop comparably equipped trims and let local incentives settle it.
"Nicer every day" is about the things you touch on every drive — the seats, the controls, and the screen. Comfort is personal, though: seat shape, driving position, and how intuitive the controls feel to you matter more than any feature list. Spend ten minutes in each on a route like your real commute — that test drive will tell you more about daily livability than any spec comparison.
We don't publish a feature-by-feature equipment comparison for this exact pairing, so we won't claim either way. Use the verified specifications and the verdict above — those come from confirmed data — and check each manufacturer's build-and-price tool for the equipment on the exact TrailSport Blackout and R/T 392 you're considering. Equipment also moves with option packages and model year, so the trim you drive may not match a general list. A back-to-back test drive of the two specific cars you're shopping is the reliable way to see what one offers that the other doesn't.
High annual mileage puts the spotlight on running costs, and that's mostly about fuel. Here, the Passport TrailSport Blackout returns the better EPA-estimated economy (20 mpg combined) — over 15,000 miles a year that adds up to noticeably fewer fill-ups and real money saved versus the alternative. Beyond fuel, a high-mileage driver should weigh seat comfort for all those hours and each model's reliability record — worth checking current ratings for the specific trims, since it matters most when you're piling on miles. If your year is mostly highway commuting, lean toward the more efficient, more comfortable choice; the small differences compound over 15,000 miles in a way they wouldn't for a light-use second car.
Interior preference is partly personal — dashboard layout, seat shape, and where the controls fall all factor in — so the best test is to sit in both. If a richer, more feature-laden cabin matters to you, compare the specific trims' option packages directly; if you mainly want a comfortable, sensibly-arranged space, either will serve you well day to day.
For most shoppers, the right pick follows your priorities rather than a single score. If running costs lead, the Passport TrailSport Blackout's efficiency is the draw. Use the verdict above as the starting recommendation, then confirm it with a back-to-back test drive of the exact trims you're considering.
