The trailer hitches available for your 2020 Honda Passport are not rated for use with a weight distribution system. This likely has more to do with the vehicle than the hitch itself, as typically when a system isn't recommended it's because the vehicle frame just isn't built to handle the type of stress/torque that weight distribution puts on it.
Between the hitch options available, I do recommend the Draw-Tite # 76290 because it offers higher weight capacities than the alternative and also included a welded-on bracket so you can easily mount your trailer wiring connector. I have attached the written install instructions below that you can check out as well.
If you find that the rear of your Passport sags a lot with the trailer hooked up, your best route will be to try and lighten up the trailer's tongue weight by re-distributing cargo along with just ensuring that you are towing within the vehicle's limits. The towing capacity for your Passport should be listed inside your owner's manual.
