not sure about the lower trims, but Android Auto and Apple Car Play is wireless on the Black Edition and Black Edition also has Cooled/Ventilated front seats, heated seats in the back. And you can lock the rear climate controls from the front. In the back you have actual climate controls, again with heated seats, 2 USB-C charging ports along with the 12V.
Nice review, just upgraded from a 2012 RTL to a 2024 Black Edition. I want to add the Black Edition does have AC and Heating controls for the rear seat passengers.
Just a few minor changes.. and won't change the minds of many haters of the Ridgeline. I love the Ridgeline and thinks it makes lots of sense to many truck buyers.. I sure love my 23 model.
I looked at a trailsport. It’s almost perfect for me I just need a deeper bed and bigger back seat for my child. Wish they made a full size just like this just with more power. I ended up with a 24 Tundra.
Does the tailgate lock/unlock with the key fob? It didn't look like it has a place to take a key to lock it. I currently have a GMC Canyon and am really considering trading it in on a Ridgeline.
It does lock and unlock, you can configure it on the settings on the infotainment screen! If you have any other questions about it to help with your decision, I’ll be happy to help!
I bought a 2017 new from the dealer, still have it and love it. If I could get Honda to do anything to this truck I would suggest more ground clearance, more horsepower and a hybrid option.
Still cheaping out on the led's for the sport model. Its such a little thing but it really cheapens the brand. Its not like the headlight assembly is any different. Also, will someone please tell honda that the sync button is in the wrong place and too big on the heat/ac controls? Mode is far more common to use and you still have to hunt for it like I do in my 21 and its stupid.
@texa5boi Well it really depends on what features you want, but over all for the money I think this RTL gives you all the features that are you would use everyday. RTL gives you power leather seats with seat memory, sunroof, and heated seats. If you aren’t going off road then the Trailsport is not really worth the extra money. The Black edition does give you more feature but they are all not necessity’s. If you have any more questions I’ll be happy to help you more!
I would say it just depends on what you want out of your truck. I like the styling of the black edition so that’s what I settled on. Plus the black edition has heated and cooled front seats and heated rear so that is nice.
I hate that Civic instrument cluster. Still no sport mode! My 2023 Ridgey has the large digital speedo that I like. The new center console storage is much much smaller as well.

When I read last year that Honda was updating the model there was one thing I didn't see. The rear bumper, did they ever affix it (weld it) to the unibody? Co-worker had one (2021), and it actually tore out/off of it's plastic housing/clips. Honestly, never seen a rear (fake) step bumper on anything classified as a small truck at $40k+. and my buddy is like 160 lbs . Since I'm in the market and really like the Honda line, but this would be a deal breaker. Thanks
Yes I do apologize if you go to the Honda website it lists the audio system but says it’s on no trims, since they still put it on the website I thought it would be on the Black Edition like last year still but apparently not, don’t really know why. Do apologize.
I realized that all the hater never own or drive a ridgeline but so quick to hate to bring it down. But hey! Those POS ford merrick are ugly asf too and no one about it because it's a "found on road dead" ford
What happened to the review for the Black Edition?? It has ventilated front seats heated rear seats and in-bed speakers, When you guys review a vehicle you need to do a complete review or no review. Just saying !!! do it right
I did talk about the Black Edition sorry I forgot about those two things, it is a lot of information to remember, so just forgetting two things I don’t think is bad, but will try harder next time.

@user-vt9ss3ft2z That seam actually has purpose. C-Pillars are completely vertical between the cab and bed now (no slope). For reinforcement, they incorporated a unique heavy steal bar between (where the bed meets the cab). This avoids cracks. That's why the Ridgeline's payload is stronger and one of the top in class at 1,580lbs. There isn't separation for flex, but there is a separation of material (not a completely smooth body from bed to cab). Not many talk about this.
@user-vt9ss3ft2z That trim around the window are Truck Wings. It's for areodynamics to reduce drag. Semi-trucks have them, and some deploy at 52mph. Ridgeline is also designed for long drives--thats where ride quality comes in. Next time u see semi-trucks on the hwy, look at their aerodynamic kits. I think that "trim" or wings look awesome.
Thats exactly right the 3.5 has been around for 30 years and I don't think thats a bad thing because its been proven to be reliable for 30 years while the Toyota turbos are new and already have been having problems since there new.

I could not agree with you more, the truck had everything and more that people need, but they just don’t know it!
nice video ty could you do a 24 ridgeline trail sport review as well , you mentioned it a little
Thank you! I was planning on doing a separate video on the Trailsport at some point, so stay tuned!
awesome ty, do u do other car reviews like a 24 Nissan Frontier? @@HMAutos8324
I looked at a trailsport. It’s almost perfect for me I just need a deeper bed and bigger back seat for my child. Wish they made a full size just like this just with more power. I ended up with a 24 Tundra.
What's the Tundra MPG?
Yeah the bed is super shallow. Something nobody mentions. When you see them in person you’re like wow! It’s tiny!!
Oh no! 😯
I dont get it. Why wouldn't you want a unibody or UTE for a mid-sized? It's a better ride by far.

no hybrid that's what makes this truck still appealing it will become a more complex more expensive system these prices are already high enough.

Leather but arm tests are gone My 2021 has great captaun chairs
What’s the best trim price wise?

@@tcguy03glad to hear that man! I’m thinking about getting the 2024 Black Edition too. How are you liking your Ridgeline so far?
@@victornava6981 it’s been great so far. I’m liking all the upgrades they did to the 2024.
I hate that Civic instrument cluster. Still no sport mode! My 2023 Ridgey has the large digital speedo that I like. The new center console storage is much much smaller as well.
Unfortunately the 2024 has lost the in bed audio system. I just got my black edition and learned that the hard way.
Did it also lose the in bed power outlet that was in the little cubby?
It did? Thats strange and sad 😢
I saw that it didn’t say it anymore but I thought it was a mistake😢
Damn the bed audio!!!! That’s trash
@@jasonwilliams705no the black edition still has it. Not sure about the other trims.
Did you say that the rear window does not open
The center part of it does open!
Can you lock the tailgate door now with the remote
Does it come with a cover for the back of the bed or is that additional cost
Thank you

Dude doing the review stated " speakers in the bed"....hmmmmm!!??
Yeah I even asked my dealer and they told me it’s gone. Even they were not sure at first.

Hate the giant Ridgeline logo in the back, looked sooo much cleaner without
Truly the dumbest looking vehicle on the market
Why? Because it's not a Ford or Chevy.
@trl1980 nope that has nothing to do with it. The fake seam between the cab and bed, the ugly ass trim around the back window. Need I go on?

@@trl1980 you know, I'd have to say you're the first person to actually explain what that trim is for.
Same crappy 3.5 engine for 30 years getting 18mpg. While Toyota making 2.4 turbo hybrid 45mpg 350hp lasting 2-3x more reliable.
Thats exactly right the 3.5 has been around for 30 years and I don't think thats a bad thing because its been proven to be reliable for 30 years while the Toyota turbos are new and already have been having problems since there new.
lol 45mpg you’re trolling hard.
Dude, the 2.4 turbo engine is new. Your 2-3x "more reliable" is troll bait.
Toyota Lexus will outlast any Honda. Every year honda keeps on falling down reliable list
4 Sillynder??? I'll take the V6 AWD all day.
