I just got out of a SLT Canyon for a RTL-E. I agree on the tailgate, but man the reliability is what got me. It drives like a car, but has the functionality of a truck. Best truck for my family

Just turned 386k on my 06 Ridgeline. Rock solid, 16 trips to Montana from WI, Canada. Fishing, hunting, pulling my fiberglass walleye boat, does whatever I need it to.

Great job explaining everything! Thanks

Excellent informative video as I'm looking into purchasing either a '23 or '24 Ridgeline

I want one. I’m a Toyota fanboy but the Ridgeline makes perfect sense. Three zone climate control. The bed. AWD. Smooooooth and mpg. Thank you for explaining trizone climate. I can’t stand the infotainment for it should be new for 2024. I also wish they have a timing chain. Timing Belts are old dated.

Nice job will be looking at the 2024

Checking in from Lincoln, Nebraska and I was checking out a 2023 Ridgeline Sport at Honda of Lincoln today!

Have a 2021 absolutely love it Front to back !!! Love the tailgate Ridiculous review He contradicts himself

Thanks for sharing your Ridgeline and all its features bro… after watching yours, hoping to order a 2024 one 🛻

I replaced my 2017 black edition with a 2022 touring. Love the Ridgeline. I added a Shiftpowerthrottle remaper to fix the terrible throttle input on the '22 Also I installed an upgraded rear sway bar to improve handling. Truck is now perfect. Your power inverter is 150w while driving and 400w while parked with engine running. You can disable auto start/stop by using the inverter while driving. The auto highbeem was MUCH better on the 2017. You can also turn off adaptive cruise while driiving by holding the distance adjustment on the steering wheel. This reverts the cruise into the traditional non-adaptive.

No truck is perfect but the Ridgeline is awfully close. I love my 2021.

I like that the Ridgeline 3.5-liter V-6 which is more likely to last over $250,000 compared to the Chevy Colorado which only offers 4-cylinder engines in their 2023 model. I also like the Ridgeline has the greatest width between wheel wells of all midsize pickups. Great for hauling 2 large dog boxes, a sheet of plywood, etc.

I wish people would stop comparing this truck to full size trucks. It's not meant to considered comparing it to a full size F150

Good review

Just rolled over 20k miles on my 2022. It's been fantastic. Looking forward to the next 180,000 miles...

Picked up a 23 black edition in December. I was on the fence between that or a Tacoma. I do a lot of highway driving to and from work so I settled for comfort over off road capability. So far satisfied, though I absolutely hate the push button gear selector. I can’t get used to it.

Hi nice video, do you know the height of the bet from floor to the cargo cover?, just wanted to see what will fits as per Pelican cooler that i have with the cover on, or will i have to leave the cover off of the truck, reason I ask is because i thinking on getting later this year possible the new 2024, the cooler wont stop me from buying the truck just will love to know the dimension, thanks

I have a 2019 RTL-E. I'm surprised you still have to plug the phone in for CarPlay; and yeah, the onboard info-tainment/navigation is crap, because of the nanny-controls... at least you don't have to put the truck in Park to change the radio-station. But, for long trips it's really helpful to have my spouse navigate, and you can't do it without CarPlay. My truck didn't have a lock on the tailgate... had to install one. After the lock was installed, the swing-out gate release broke... cable slipped, shortly after that top-down release failed... 3k mi. past warranty (36k mi.). And, recently there's a weird, low buzzing sound at 1600-1800 RPMs, and every tech or mechanic I've talked to spins a different yarn what the cause is. Oddly enough, mine actually has a tow-mode, a button on the shifter... but no tiptronic shifter. And you're right, 5k seems like an ample tow-rating... until you tow something, and with these Honda transmissions, there's no margin for error; they made the best manuals, and some of the worst automatics, especially for V6s. To be honest, I was never confident about hauling anything more than 3.5k in mine, which is kinda pitiful considering years ago I towed a Yaris... full of crap... with a 2006 Nissan Frontier 4 cyl. stick, from Indiana to Nevada, up the Rockies, down the Rockies... that was fun. And that button-shifter... that looks like a big dealership-bill waiting to happen. We leased a Clarity which had that... right next to the cup-holders. I had to use something like a baby sippy-cup lol. I have a love/hate relationship with mine, handles and drives like a dream, incredibly comfortable for long distance driving... but good grief. Mine also has that outlet in the back... but it's a TWO-PRONG... I have no tool in my pickup which is a two-prong ;( I think your making the right call there, go ahead and get rid of it. They have a good resale value... for some reason. Good review!

Good review man 🔥 would you recommend it or buy it again after owning it?

Do you like your tonneau? While the cover is down is it noisy? How has it been holding up? Thanks for the review!

🔥🔥

This is the first gen of the Ridgeline that actually has a good looking exterior, especially in this black. Although i think the interior is lacking. That center console and little arm rests look like something from 2012. I get its a truck, but considering its Hondas only truck id expect better. Also lots of plastic. But if i were to get a midsize it'd probably be this.

Nice review, I'm interested in a 2024 Ridgeline too , a question..when you play speakers in the bed won't that wear out battery? If truck is not running?

I decided to go with a Honda Pilot instead. By the time I add a shell over the bed of the Ridgeline, the price came up to a Pilot. So for me, it made more sense to simply go with the Pilot.

I love my Ridgeline - but being entirely honest - I’m coming out of a 5th gen big horn 1500 - and I miss it. All the ride “benefits” of the Ridgeline are what I miss most. I LIKED the high truck ride height and the enormous cabin and presence. It felt safe - and on that note - I have three daughters under 4 1/2 - the cab size is dearly Missed. We are crammed with car seats - granted it’s POSSIBLE - but it’s annoying having kicked seats and little floor room after they’re in. Everything else is amazing.

I had the original ridgeline many years and that flatbed compartment used to condense so badly... ruined all my tools..do you notice any condensation?

I was thinking "man this looks just like Nebraska" LOL

i would wait for redesign 2024 - the dashboard and info system on these trucks are from 2017

Just sold my 2006 (200000 miles) and picked up a used (25000 miles) 2023. I Wanted some of the driver assistance capabilities as I age. I do worry about the longevity of all the electronics compared to my old 2006 work horse.

Does this truck offer ventilated seats?

Not sure what models have usb-c but i saw a video that black edition have it. But yea, 2024 and no Bluetooth ,common honda

bed or box?

I'm not used to seeing Florida homes like that.

You looked very cramped at your size?

what's the average MPG do you get?

You keep referring and comparing the Ridgeline to a 1/2 ton F-150 or Silverado, wrong class, choose the Colorado to compare. Same with towing, of course it can't be compared to a half ton, would you compare it to a Tacoma or the Titan, apples/oranges.

Not sure why Honda is so conservative with the RL updates. I'm surprised that there is no information on the 2024 as of yet esp given the off road success of the Pilot Trail Sport. Just take the same upgrades with the engine, transmission, AWD and interior and watch this be the most in demand vehicle in it's class.

Oh no the tailgate on my truck isnt cushioned!

Sport is tow mode

Currently stuck in a honda ridgeline lease. I can't wait till it's over and get real truck.

Is the sun ruff for the dogs? 🐶🐕

there are coolers that would fit and arent as tall

It's not really a truck..it's a small suv with an uncovered trunk..like a maverick, .....kinda meh...but probably provides all that will actually be used on a regular basis....makes more practical sense than a huge 4×4 full size that only gets used to go to the grocery store or to soccer practice.

If they are made in the US the quality is not as good as the one coming from Japan. The workers mentality in the US is not gear towards the excellence or quality.

Test drove my friends ridgeline it did ride smooth like my accord and i didn't like it at all lol

I couldn’t finish the video because of the extremely annoying affiliate links that pop up and stay on the screen and distract from the video!!!!

Debating between Ridgeline and Tacoma. I heard Ridgeline has a lot of mechanical issues.

I don’t understand why you keep comparing this truck with a full size truck do you know it’s midsize

Does it come with a matching purse?

Cannot stand mine 22 rtl do to over sensitive collision avoidance nannie…..worst system any car I have owned

sunruff🤣🤣

Water leak into cabin. Stay away from

No way could I spend 47 grand on a ridgeline lmao. My 23 tacoma sr5 v6 4wd crewcab with a 6ft bed was 41. In celestial silver. Looks way better than the ridgeline and way better offroad. A timing belt in 2023. WTF. The tacoma has rear vents they just come out under the seats. I got 23 mpg on the interstate to going 70-75mph. The 6 speed automatic and 3.5l are bulletproof at this point.

Honda makes great vehicles. I've had 4 civics. Can't buy a ridgeline because they are just so ugly. Happy tacoma owner

I love how people say that it is great to have the spare in the compartment under the bed. Only people who drive this thing like an SUV would consider that to be a positive feature. If you have something in your truck bed (say a load of rocks, or firewood, or a fridge etc...) how in heavens name do you get to your spare should you get a flat?! More proof that this is not a real pickup...just a yuppie SUV with a pickup bed😂😂 His dog is a mix of 6 different species ??? Really! I think you mean 6 different breeds!

Im sure it would be more comfortable but maybe boring

Find a quiet place, can’t hear you, amateur review

Why buy that truck if you need more towing capacity 🤔
