I purchased a 2020 Tundra Limited Crewmax Limited TRD Off Road Moonroof, fully loaded a few months ago. First pickup ever purchased- have always wanted/needed a truck instead of borrowing family members trucks. Went with Toyota for Reliability and Resale - Long Story short - Truck was too big for my daily needs and for My girls to drive/park etc.... traded it in for a 2021 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E and could not be happier. Before everyone starts saying the Ridgeline is not a truck (which was me). You have to smartly evaluate what you will be using your truck for. I have no need to tow 9k LBs and within the first week of owning the Ridgeline- knew this was a better fit for our family and needs. Loved the Tundra - great truck. But think of it like a tool. There are many different hammers/lawn mowers/ladders etc.... You should choose the tool that best fits your needs. Our Ridgeline can do all the pickup things that the Tundra could and many / many things better / MPG / fits in the garage / has a trunk / drives so much better / but what it cannot do is tow / or offer the interior space that the Tundra Crewmax did. So best advice IMO - Really look at what you need from a truck before you buy. Best of luck to all.

Bought this same vehicle a few weeks ago .. I’m so happy with it .. tinted the front windows looks great 👍🏼

Loved your review. It was quick, to the point and literally covered everything in the car without making a boring long video.. keep it up bro... more honda car reviews would be great.

Awesome review! Helped me with my decision to purchase a white BE last night. Loving everything about it so far.

I bein towing for 40 plus years with v6s to v8s and Hemi , and everything that I tow are from 16 to 20 foot bassboat with single axle to double axle, the v6 honda engine does a great Gob from ridgeline to pilot and back to 2021 Ridgeline They are Great vehicles second most America 🇺🇸 made truck. Great Truck. 👍

Great summary! This is the first white Black Edition I’ve seen reviewed, which is exactly what I want!

Totally awesome video...I'll take two😄 I like how you went straight to the point and didn't lolly gag about everything. I didn't catch the color options. Thanx again for a great

Thanks for the review! The Honda Ridgeline is now on my list of vehicles to check out.

Ordered BE in White last week. Love the ride of our Odyssey on long trips so your comment made my day. Great review!

Vehicle report very informative. Thank uou! Looking forward for my New Honda Ridgeline!!

Great video! Power packed with detailed information from beginning to end.

Thank you for the years of Honda Ridgeline pickup review s God bless you all

The Paddle-Shifters are an excellent addition for engine breaking on mountain highways and or used as a tow/haul feature to lockout up-shifting.

Thanks for the review. This is a good choice for those that want a lifestyle truck. I especially like the two-way tailgate and lockable trunk. I will definitely look at this when I replace my 2019 Ranger.

Our last 4 cars were Honda Pilots. I've always been a fan of GMC trucks and enjoyed them. I now own a 2019 Honda Pilot and a 2021 Honda Ridgeline white with black edition. I love it. The ride is awesome and fuel economy is great. The dual tailgate is very handy.

Outstanding review, thank you!

I'm two years late!! But I'm still buying bro.

Just got the truck. Thanks for the review

Enjoyed the review, thanks!

Test drove a BE yesterday and instantly fell in love with it. The pictures/internet don't do the White Pearle justice. It has to be seen up close to really appreciate. I was slightly disappointed that it only came in Black/White since I knew buying black was really not what I wanted to deal with, upkeep and all, but the white looks amazing. Hopefully picking mine up tomorrow.

Great review! Keep it up !

The main selling points for me is the bed with the trunk and also the back seats folding up is very handy for my dog. Looking to purchase one next year!

Thanks buying one tomorrow thanks to this video im also getting a white one

Love this truck.. I barely tow, but I haul much more often and the payload is great.. beats many full size trucks payloads.

Awesome review Peace!

I will definitely be looking forward to buy a Honda Ridgeline 2021.

Great review dude. This is exactly what I needed to see for a fair comparison of the kid-sized trucks out there. Thanks! 🙂

New Subscriber!! I think the Ridgeline is very underrated! I’m probably biased because I love Honda lol. I own a 2019 Accord Touring 2.0t. Great content Bro!

Great review

Looking to buy a Ridgeline, very informative video.

Just bought one before I saw your video waiting on delivery. You should do a tips and tricks video about the web browser and auto start and auto windows things like that. Good luck on the tube

Just got my Red Sport 2021 a couple weeks ago. Love it. But the auto start/stop feature is annoying. But all around very happy with this purchase.

Nice, thanks!

Totally agreed with you. I only get to tested used 2019 . Would love to test 2021 before purchasing but nowadays. Need to pre order only. Sound system is great but lexus IS350 sport is better. You're better then my honda salesman. My salesman doesn't really say much. Doesn't really get much deals at all when buying honda.

Many people keep missing that the hpd package includes a 20mm increase in the vehicle's track

I live in florida but go to school up north and I think the AWD being standard is one of the greatest decisions honda made

Good video and realize you can't cover everything just wish there was more on the camera (I believe its only Rear) and using it in 3 point turns, blind spot indicators and usage and factory warranty (length and what's included) .

Picking up my white BE on Friday. Honda should be giving you a cut of every deal 😂

I wish the back (behind the rear seats) opened like a hatchback in order to increase the bed length. I wish the trunk had rear facing seats. Add a Leer bed top and we have seating for 7. Honda’s engineers are holding out. There’s so much more they can do with this platform.

Great video! I’m debating the bed cover as seen in the video. Did you test this out? Any obstruction to accessing the full bed?

it was an informative video the only thing you didn't cover was the cover on the back sliding open and closing.

All Ridgeline trims come standard with tri-zone climate control (driver, passenger, and rear bench), not “dual-zone”. The Gladiator is the only midsized pickup competitor offering this feature standard as well.

I have a lifted 2008 Ridgeline with 230K miles, which replaced an Avalanche which was kaput at 230K km. I am shopping for a new truck. I liked my old Ridgeline enough that I would consider another. For sure, the new truck will get annual rustproofing (Ontario, Canada). Only question, should I wait for a 2022, so this revamped truck has a year under its belt?

If the base price wasnt 37k. Alot more would buy it, great redesign!

I bot a 2021 White Black Edition a month ago. Great truck; rides like a luxury car. I do have a couple of complaints (not deal-breakers though). First complaint: the front seats sit too close to the floor. The driver's seat can be raised but the passenger seat is stuck in a low stance which is bad for short passengers who want to see outside. I placed a couple of aftermarket cushions in the passenger seat. Maybe Honda is catering to the taller folks or folks with bigger cabooses. Second complaint: the in-bed trunk has a strong chemical odor (smells like paint thinner or turpentine); I'm guessing the bed/trunk material emits the odor. There's been discussions for a few years at the Ridgeline Owner's Club website about how to get rid of the odor. I've left the trunk open & dumped some charcoal in there too but neither strategy worked. So for now, I'm not hauling groceries in the trunk.

Im definitely a Honda head. Huge fan of the time gap they have created. Now as of 2021. Im thinking 🤔 about the 2021 black edition Ridgeline version 🤔. But im still hoping the add just about another 24inches of length from front bumper to back bumper plus ➕ they need to add more features like a stock 🥶 cold air intake, a 6" lift kit, 20" factory rims and tires sporty black line limited edition package. A luxurious set. Also heating/cooling vents over head positioned also a unique roof rack mount to tie down ladders or small boats or other options 🤔 objects under 10 feet length

Made a deal and put money down for a '21 RTL-E on February 24, but the dealer doesn't expect to have it until mid April at the earliest. Exciting but frustrating.

I just ordered a 2022 Ridgeline and would have liked to see the paddle shifter work, I tow a UTV trailer and use the paddle shifter extensively on my Tundra. I am downsizing as the my truck needs have gone way down. The Ridgeline will fill my needs very well. I ordered the RTL-E with an approximate delivery 150 days later, a bit disappointing!

Great review! I’m definitely looking at getting a new truck this year and the Ridgeline is at the top of my list with the Tacoma. Have you driven a recent Tacoma to compare them?

I love this changes except the electronic shift, because of that i prefer an older year with physical shift 🐒

2021. Cooled seats work now.

Ventilated seats are a must in the Texas. Heated seats get maybe 1 month of use out of the year. Too bad the 22 model also skipped out on it. I'll hold out another year then go look at the hyundai Santa Cruz which does get Ventilated seats.

You forgot that button by the outlet button is the heated windshield /wiper button.

Definitely

Have a 2010 ridgeline,bought it used,love it.That being said the price for a brand new ridgeline is 55000 in canada,which in my opinion is way too expensive,might as well get a Ford f150 for the price.

I'm a fan of the Ridgeline and it's probably my next vehicle. Already drove a 2021. Fantastic. Good point about a boat, but seriously, how many people have a boat? Another thing, calling trucks with a solid axle being in the "stone age" is not why they have a solid axle. Yes, the ride is rougher, but when you're offroad, you get much more articulation with a solid axle than with independent suspension. But the trade-off is ride. For me, I want to tow a 3000 lbs travel trailer with one or two motorcycles in the back. I also want to be able to put sheets of plywood in the back when I do projects. The Ridgeline has 50 inches between the wheel-wells unlike about 44 to 47 in most others in the segment. That means FLAT laying wood. It's an amazing truck. I don't need to go rock crawling in it, so for me, it's a MUCH better option than a Ranger or Frontier or whatever. I'd also take its torque-vectoring AWD over FWD any day. The only thing I will do to mine is lift it about 3 inches and give it a skid plate. Just for some of the trails I might end up on. Thanks for the review!

Good review! Just 1 thing.. the climate control system is actually tri-zone on all trims! 👍🏼

HPD package doesn’t have skid plates like the TRD off-road package on Toyota.

Can you comment on how the zf 9speed transmission has been in terms of downshifting, jerkiness, passing power, etc? I'm considering one of these vehicles. Thanks.

I’m a fan of the RTL trim for the money. I think they missed the boat on the HPD trim. Those black stick on looking flares look horrible against the busy paint. And the way the front fender flares tapers at the bumper is horrible. Ok but I’m a huge fan of all the trims. Very clean look. Can’t wait to see these with a nice 2-3” lift and a beefier tires

Do you have to turn off the start/stop every time you get into the truck?

I used my 170hp impreza Outback to pull a 4x4 4 door 5.4 liter f150 home 15 miles with an auto trans. 280hp is enough and alot more than the Weiner wagging Chevy guys had in their 1980s c10 v8s. Facts.

The only thing that has me on the fence about buying this over a Tacoma is those tiny little flip down armrests

Mud and snow driving? I’m really looking hard at the Ridgeline but a little concerned about how it handles in both mud and snow in hilly situations. Not off road, more like logging roads with mud and snow. Any input will be welcome

Did he mention the hpd package?

Look at it this way you can get 2 ridge lines and a accord lx for the price of 1 trx

12k views with only 311 sbdcrib? Come on guys, have a heart. It will not hurt to smash that buttn. Let him be monitze for the content sake. By the way im also a smalltime youtuber with 4k sbscrbers thats y i feel you. And i also ordered ridgeline 2021 sports and im happy that the base model is somehow suited here in canada.

I love all Honda my only question are the windows I never like them in the winter I find they frost up inside this has been true for all the Honda’s I have had does this do that? I am looking into getting a Ridgeline Thank you for video ❤️👍

The auto-start/stop feature has to be turned off every single time everyday or is it a feature that if you turn it off, it won't turn on until you do it?

I have a 2008 Tundra, great truck except gas mileage is poor, I don't tow that often but at least 3 or 4 times a year so my Tundra is usually parked. If I didn't have the Tundra I would definitely buy the Ridgeline because I actually go to Home Depot and Lowe's several times a week driving my wife's van unless I am loading lumber or bricks. Most people do not need a full size pick up!

Looks great without the chrome, aside from the badges.

The one thing that’s a blessing and a curse is resale value. You may as well get a new one since unless a used one has 400k miles and last appeared on Roadkill Garage- they hold their value! I wish I hadn’t watched this, now I want one and I just had to start over at 61, divorce is a bitch. But, I’ll be back!

I just picked up a new 2021 Ridgeline black edition, love it so far, but that distronic cruise control isnt great, as compared to our Audi n Tesla..btw traded a 2018 accord 2.0t and that car was better in that aspect, I mean come on, majority of people value daily Highway driving comfort high up on their list to why they buy this over others in this class, avg 20.7 mpg is another surprise for 70 percent highway.. but it does drives great n many pluses, btw why do I see ventilating seats on top Blk edition trim on many vlogs? My Blk edition doesn’t have it?

I have found that Hondas are great cars and trucks if you buy them new and get rid of them when they are out of warranty. Maintenance is hard as they are not designed for service. Quality parts are ridiculously expensive. For people that are not mechanically inclined and have the money to replace them every couple years, Hondas are great vehicles.

I been looking at the ridgeline. It checks everything off on my checklist. It's the swiss army knife of pickups. I just a bit concern about the transmission.

Did that cover come stock with the Black Edition?

How’s that cover? Thanks

Does it have a delay when you floor it?

Creeper dude at 7:21 🤣

Is the black edition the only model that has the dark interior? (Roof and side panels)

GOT A 2017 AN LOOKING TO GET THE 2021

Last night I was sitting in my covered parking pad...had my iPod plugged into the.... :SOUND SYSTEM.... at 20-21, and was shooting video just having a blast LOVIN HOW amazing the system is, I sat in the 2019 too, and last night was different....it was shot with my Hero5 Session...later I stuffed the memory card into a reader into my MacBook, plugged the headphones in and the ONLY difference missing from the equation was.... YA, you guessed it.... THE NEW CAR SMELL..... I cannot think of a single complaint to offer those who have issues...they must be in the lower units, maybe the ONLY 450 watt with SUB are the 3, White Black Edition, the Black Black Edition and the RTL-e..... I had to write back at ya, 21:14....

Honestly the Ridgeline has come a long way. It finally looks like a truck that I would buy. All I would change is the H emblem on the front and back. I’d have HONDA on the grill and HONDA in the rear. Think about it and tell me you don’t think more people would buy it 😏😏

you didnt talked about the gearbox while driving

Nice Truck. Yeah all wheel drive to me just means worse gas mileage. Don't really need it in Virginia. Front wheel drive is just fine here.

anyone got any intel on what these on a lease look like?

I like the ridgeline in classic champ white > taco

How funny.. they said the original Ridgeline was ugly yet they went back to the stout bulldog look of the front end.. I love my 2007 Aberdeen green

Not being able to have the ventilated seat here in the US is a deal-breaker for me. Why in Canada only, where it's cold most of the year? I took one out for a drive this week. The feel and sound of the expansion joints compared to a body-on-frame vehicle can not be ignored. The sound system is better left off. Needless to say, I'm not impressed with the drive portion. I do like many of the features this truck has. It's just not for me, yet! To clarify, I'm driving an Escalade now, and the comparison of the difference is probably not fair but is still real. So glad I do not have to deal with that non-gas-saving invention. Engine shut off at every three-second stop!

I may have missed it in the video but does the Ridgeline have remote start?

Looks better. Front more like a ranger

Can any owners of 21 ridgeline confirm if android auto works?

Is the button/switch assembly (next to the cupholders) watertight? I mean, should i be worried if i spilled drinks on them?

One feature I am sad we don't get in the US is Rain-Sensing Wipers. Canada gets that, not us. Sad face

YA, the HONDA is like...... BOOM..... we're here and we're GOING for it now..... LOOK OUT..... I had a 2019 Black Edition and the SECOND I seen there was DUAL EXHAUST, i was IN.... picked up the 2012 yesterday and you know..... its a TOTALLY different TRUCK, it knows its the SHOW..... ( Bull Durham) the show.... its the SHOW.... Get it in WHITE its even classier than the Black Black Edition.... the CONTRAST between the Black and White..... ONE WORD...... BALLPARK.... it s a HOMERUN.....

Can anyone comment on cabin space? I have a baby on the way and I’m 6’2 just curious if anyone has ran into this

I hear these things are selling like hotcakes. Good. Take notes on square truck design, Honda. The pre-facelift looks like poop. The re-design was much needed.

Jerry needs the upgrade

black edition? it's white

Almost 50k ?? To much for this vehicle....on the market you can get a lot of choices in this segment
