I have the RTL-E, the sound system is great. Much better than I thought it would be. I had a Camery where I installed 2 10 in subs, I thought the system in the RL was great compared to it. Obviously not as much bass, but still loud with some deep bass.

cbalano the tonneau removes easily with its clamps.

you can get the recall info from NHTSA: Water may Leak into Rear Wiring Harness:Corrosion of the wiring harness can cause increased electrical resistance, unexpectedly activating the vehicle stability assist (VSA) system, increasing the risk of a crash. Fuel Pump Feed Port May Crack And Leak:A crack in the fuel pump feed port can allow pressurized fuel to leak out, increasing the risk of a fire.

Romband1919 yes!

cbalano no that's just how I drive lol

That was one of my major issues with the design/fit of the truck. I hate that the emergency brake is right over the floor foot pad for the left foot!!! HATE IT , its in the way!!!

I own a 2017 Ridgeline, too. I recently took it to a very long day trip (~700 miles). The truck performed admirably, average MPG was 24.8 (9.5L/100km). However, I felt my left knee and hip next day. Even with the driver seat fully extended, I had no decent room to extend my left foot because of the damn dead pedal and e-brake. Prior to the trip I went to my trusted mechanic and he removed the dead pedal for me. That helped a bit. However, the dead pedal is not too thick. Underneath it there is the wheel well, and that limits how far you can extend your left leg.

Jason hernandez Like an El Camino?

What dictionary? It's a pick up that is great

Ford Ranchero

Lupus1874 not yet!

mustang1191 nope only the In bed trunk. Tailgate opens two ways and doesn't lock.

yeah...that was a bummer. no locking tailgate.

Eric Wolder You can buy third party lock for it however!

Another reviewer said the tailgate unlocked as the driver (with the key fob) walked up to the truck.

Very low production numbers. Honda knows that Honda people don't want trucks and that truck people don't want Hondas. These fill that small overlap group and they sell 100% of what they make.

supercherokeejeep not sure as I have android and it doesn't work very well. Might be able to find a KZfaq video to assist with Apple.

You can't watch videos using the front screen on any RL, the saftey settings won't let you. You can't even use safari while the phone is plugged in.

hallmonitor98 definitely nice to have. Will enjoy them more in summer

you don't have to open your doors...they sound okay.

hallmonitor98 the audio is awesome!

Yes, please! I was going to say the same thing!

Marc Lebrun after driving manual for years its hard to break the habit of placement...

Shawn B lol... I know the feeling, my daily driver is a 2004 Accord 5spd and I hate driving my wife's Ford Escape automatic

Even in a manual, you shouldn't drive with your hand on the shifter.

Considering I also have a sierra, I can confirm this truck is suitable for the average consumer for 90% of the tasks they own a truck for. Obviously if you need to truck for heavy hauling or longer beds, there are other options. My sierra consumes nearly double the fuel this does for the same tasks....

Upgraded parts not used on the pilot bubba

You keep thinking this front wheel drive based CUV with it's rear chopped off is a truck because it has stronger suspension components.

Don't buy one then.

Take it back, get your money ba... oh wait. Douchebag

How do you define a truck? That it doesn't have body on frame? Seems you need to do some learning. This is my 5th truck and I don't view the fact that it doesn't drive like a truck as a negative.

It's not a truck because it is unibody and doesn't have a rear axle. The same reasons the Hummer H1, Mercedes G Wagon and Land Rover/Range Rover aren't trucks. /s

Thanks for clearing that up. So my first "car" was a 1964 Chevy Impala 4 door. It had a rear axle and a body on frame. So I guess it really was a truck. It sure drove like one.

Point being, on the Hummer, Benz, and Rover, you never heard "truck purists" howling about these vehicles, which are all more off-road capable than nearly anything with a solid rear axle, but have Honda come out with one, and the "truck guys" lose their minds.

So in order to be considered a "truck", it needs to be more off-road capable. Yet you first state the H1 wasn't a truck, but "purists" don't howl at them. Crazy how this episode of top gear they used extremely off-road capable vehicles: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gear:_Bolivia_Special, none of which was a "truck". Your logic is extremely flawed. It has nothing to do with the unibody, and nothing to do with the rear Axel. You don't like that it has a truck bed, but drives like an SUV. Buying a "truck" for the random handful of times you go off-roading makes about as much sense as your hypocrisy. Get over it, the people that buy them like em. Psst, northamericancaroftheyear.org Amazing how this Truck beat out the competition, by a wide margin. Truck of the year... not unibody, Truck.
