Villain (UTG) is 60/1/0.4, WTSD% of 54. CO is 23/18/2.4.

I raise the flop as I want to try and force out UTG who may peel with a possible 6 outs and I likely have good equity against CO pre flop isolation raise. I don't think UTG is going to define how good my hand is if I just call the flop as he's so passive and will likely call with any A here. Once he cold calls my raise on the flop I decide to fire the turn hoping to see a free showdown. Once he calls and it get's to the river and he bets I figure he's so passive that I'm very likely beat here.

Would anyone consider giving up on the turn against such a passive opponent out of position?

I would. Him calling two bets cold on such a board means he almost always has Ax or trips. I would just check-fold the turn here.
