    Great video guys! David is turning into a great, considerable, substantial, significant, and appreciable host! His use of a thesaurus, reference book, glossary, lexicon, and onomasticon is unmatched! The Ridgeline seems like a great truck too! It's just big enough that all your friends, relations, acquaintances, and people you just met in the mall will ask you every weekend for the rest of your life to help them move! And all for the offer of a steak dinner that will never materialize, appear, happen, or occur!
    But seriously, unless you are needing a Ram for work then the Ridgeline offers everything you could need in a truck without costing more than my house.

      Looks like someone has been doing some extra reading these days. We certainly are enjoying having David join us as a guest host. He’s a great guy.
      As for the Ridgeline. We couldn’t agree more. It’s not too much truck, it’s really the right amount of truck. We really liked it.
      As always, thanks for watching.

    I bought a 23 sport almost a year ago and it’s pretty sweet. Coming from a Colorado and an f150 this truck is by far the best riding vehicle I’ve ever owned. I occasionally pull a trailer with a uforce 1000 on it for a combined weight of around 3k pounds. It pulls nice in sport mode and I can pick my gear with the paddle shifters if I see a hill coming. They don’t have a lot of low end torque so you want to keep it around 3k or higher in the hills. They say the tow rating is 5k and that may be less than other midsized trucks but let’s be real, if you’re pulling more you should move up to a 1500 size truck. If anyone is considering a midsize they should take a look at one

    • @HoodSlappersOfficial
      @HoodSlappersOfficial  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for sharing. You’re absolutely right. Hondas have always had higher end torque. As you said though, you can pick your gear. It’s a great truck and the ride is just as good as you say.
      Thanks again for commenting and for watching. Enjoy your Ridgeline. Here is to many miles ahead

    Last month i bought 2023 RTL Ridgeline. With 2k off and 2.9% for 60 months. I thought that was a good deal.
    And i don't want to buy an overpriced full size truck. Have no need for one.
    Really love the large and usefull storage under the bed. And the suv like ride.
    The Ridgeline is in a class of its own.

    • @HoodSlappersOfficial
      @HoodSlappersOfficial  ปีที่แล้ว

      That’s a fantastic deal. Nice going and congratulations. Not everyone needs the heavy duty trucks that can tow an Apollo rocket. You got something that fits your needs. That’s what choosing the right vehicle is about. Enjoy the Ridgeline. We love it.

    Have a 2008 and absolutely love driving it! I originally took alot of heat from friends that it was a girls truck then when the same friends rode in it the jokes STOP. I’ve had chevy, gmc and dodge trucks in the past but found that I love the Ridgelines smooth ride and dependability. Yeah, gas mileage is nothing special but I don’t care! I could tell you lots of great experiences I’ve had with it but the best recommendation I can offer is to DRIVE ONE! You’ll be amazed.

    • @Ccd-c6d
      @Ccd-c6d ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @HoodSlappersOfficial I'd say body on frame and true 4x4 makes it a truck. Rear wheel drive based and a solid rear axle. Front wheel drive based, awd and unibody construction makes it an suv with a bed.

      Yea, Honda got roasted on removing volume knobs on their vehicles. At least we know they listen to complaints. That’s a huge positive.

      That’s actually a good point. Since 2016, Hondas have started to look the same with not just their interiors but also exterior. The 2016 Pilot looked like an Odyssey, the 2017 Ridgeline looked like the Pilot and so on.

    What type of truck you buy ( I think) depends on 1. What you can realistically afford 2. What you intend to use it for. If you need a truck for work the ridge line might not be for you. But if you want a truck but don’t necessarily need one then the ridge line will probably more truck than you will ever need. Especially if you’re not blinded by brand loyalty to the big three. Take care of a ridge line then it will still be driving long after other trucks built the same year have been crushed and recycled.

    • @HoodSlappersOfficial
      @HoodSlappersOfficial  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We should have explored this in our video. Longevity is huge for the Ridgeline. A 500,000km (310,685miles) odometer is almost assumed when you buy and look after your Ridgeline.

    IMO , the Ridgeline is not bad. I actually like it. Pit it this way, it was Hondas intent to make it seem different, and they have made improvements ever since it's inception in the early 2000's I think. Its also intriguing and interesting...

    • @HoodSlappersOfficial

      Not sure what changes will take place in Canada, but Honda created the Trailsport, and that has taken place of our RTL-E model (which was Canada's Touring model) the US models are Sport, RTL, Trailsport and Black Edition. Only our B.E. gets heated/ventilated seats. The 3 lower trims still don't offer that option.

    • @HoodSlappersOfficial
      @HoodSlappersOfficial  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @tycheatham1594 thanks for sharing. The different trim level names between Canada and the US has always baffled us. Why? It just seems like so much extra work.

    • @tycheatham1594
      @tycheatham1594 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @HoodSlappersOfficial first, I'll say... you guys do great reviews. 👍 and second, I'm with ya, and I'd love to know and understand what makes vehicle manufacturers market how they do. 1. Why would they not offer a Touring model to the US as well (for those who weren't aware, the Touring model not only offered ventilated front seats, but also power folding mirrors, rain sensing wipers, rear heated seats, rear climate controls and more) but now for 24', I don't 100% know if the US Black Edition is as "loaded" with every option as the Canadian Touring model, but we finally at least get ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and rain sensing wipers. They did add power folding mirrors to the US Trailsport and B.E. The Sport and RTL still lack most of the luxury options but are still nice, comfortable, and capable trim levels for those that don't care for or need all of the bells & whistles.
      The Ridgeline is my dream truck (I hope to replace my 09 Frontier with) that I've been studying since the 17' model, so that's why I know a little about em' plus I'm just an overall Honda fan. I currently have a 17' Accord Touring model that I specifically bought due to it being the last Accord V6, and I absolutely adore and will keep it forever. Again, great reviews. Keep up the great work, guys. 😉👌

    Its simplistic and reliable rides nicely has one of the best inbed payload ratings in its class and a NA V6 that will last forever. Can't really say that about a lot of midsize trucks now even if its not a body on frame its still better than having a 4cyl in something slightly bigger and definitely heavier. Its what you need really who cares if its a unibody.
