- The new 2024 Honda Ridgelines have arrived! While it remains the Ridgeline you know and love, a lot has changed. Harold is here to give you a breakdown on a few of those changes. Don't worry. Sometimes change is a very good thing! #hondaofbellingham #hondaridgeline #testdrive #honda #keepitlocal #pnwlifestyle

I like the new Ridgeline, but I’m not a fan of that electric button console shifter. should just put the shifter back on the column or put it on the dash out-of-the-way. Shifter beside cupholder with liquid is not a good idea. If you spill liquid on the electric shifter, it will short out bad design.
I believe you are seriously mistaken. I have a 2023 Ridgeline Black Edition. There are 7 buttons below the mirror switch just like in the 2024 you showed. Also, mine indeed has a wireless phone charger just like your 2024. You must have tried to compare a Black 2024 with a lesser trim level on the 2023. Also, the 2023 has the 9 inch info screen, te only difference is the Apple car play is wired in mine. No big deal. Both steering wheels have the exact same features, just slightly different buttons. What on earth were you looking at.
He failed to mention the 2024 no longer has the In Bed stereo speakers.
oh man. DEAL KILLER.
Used mine once in my 2017 black edition when I first bought it.
Maybe, probably no loss for most customers
Did they fix the wireless charging pad that didn't work on past Ridgelines ?
Yes.
Wish they would acknowledge and fix the 23's
@@KeepHammering117 Same, I have a 2023 Passport and it's terrible.
Bought the new 2024 Ridgeline Trailsport two weeks ago. Love it. Previously had a 2017 and 2021 RtTL- E. Loved them, too, but the Trailsport is a cut above.
What does the trail sport have?
In what way or ways is a cut above?
Pretty much the same as the 2021. Mostly looks. In regards to engine and transmission and mechanical specs it is pretty much the same. The tires are much better.
Love my '24 Ridgeline TrailSport. Yes, the push-button shifter is difficult to get accustomed to. It took me a full month for it to feel natural to me. But it does feel natural now. For someone to pass on buying this awesome vehicle because of a push-button shifter is a tragedy. After all, you choose your gear at the beginning of a drive, so you and pay no attention to it from then on. The ride, handling, engine, and comfort are all top notch. It checks every box on my list of things I want in a truck. If I had the choice of a traditional shifter, yes, I'd take it. But the lack of it makes little difference in the scheme of things.
I have the touring model 2021 and no problems. The changes I see are the tailgate, steering wheel buttons, the display speedometer, arm rest, trail sport option, tires are different and the oil pan in the 2024 has guard to protect the oil pan. Honda is definitely trying to compete with off road vehicles and seeing some of the video's on you tube what this truck drive can do to test the vehicle up hill steep slopes and climbling bummy hills is amazing. This truck looks like the under dog but it is turning heads. The towing is not there yet but maybe hydrogen cell power might be something to think about in the future and i can see it happening and cannot see it going all electric.
wrong i have wireless charger on my 2023 and have 7 switches on the bottom left as well
Trailsport should’ve came from the factory with 2-3 inches more ground clearance. More like Subaru has done with their Wilderness models that have almost 10 inches of ground clearance.
I like everything about the 2024 one except for the tailgate (I prefer the old style without the embossed Ridgeline) and the lack of a great shifter. I’m not a fan of the push button shifter.
Buttons give you more space. I prefer it.
You say you're not a fan of the push button shifter; do you own a Ridgeline with that type of shifter? Or are you guessing that you wouldn't like it?
I had a 2019 Ridgeline and chose not to upgrade to the new one because of the push button shifter. The dealership let me take one home for a weekend test drive and I didn’t care for the push button shifter at all. I could see it being a problem if something was to get spilled on the console and down into those buttons.
@@Jason-Hicksgood info. Do you happen to know what year the push button debuted in the Ridgeline?
@richarde1355 I think it was 2021. It's the same shifter in the Passport and the Pilot. You get used to it. I like it. It gives you more space.
One thing most don't tell you about the Rigdeline engine. It has a timing belt that requires changing at the 80-100K mark. That costs a staggering amount of money and is not easy for most DIY. If you don't change it and it fails, your engine is toast.
Every engine will require a timing belt changed at 80-100k miles. Why do you think this is specific to a Honda Ridgeline engine?
I did mine on my 06 Ridgeline every 100k and just passed 390k miles. Well worth it..
@@spritely2158most modern vehicles have timing chains which are zero maintenance.
My local Honda just told me the timing belt is a $1900-2100 job too.
I’ve never put that cost into my 16 year old 5.7L sequoia with 221450 miles….
Better than paying 10,000 for electric battery
I have a 2019 Ridgeline. When are they going to put the stick gear shifter back?
Hopefully never
Never we hope. We have the push buttons on a 2018 Odyssey and never want to go back to the stick shifter
Does yours have the gear shifter?
Yes, my 2019 Ridgeline has a stick for automatic transmission.
Imagine 2044 somebody’s child is driving this as a first truck, it’ll be on the road that long!
50k msrp huh?
Only for the top trim. They are high 30s low 40s starting 2024
I expected new Pilot front and dash. Kind of disappointing that they kept old look.
How much Tech do we need on a vehicle seriously😂..?? Heated everything.. wireless charging...hundreds of buttons lol..
I bought the Honda Ridgeline sport which is the base model so I don't have to get all that stuff
The 23 RTL-E has most of the features he showed
Still not a fan of the black unibrow across the headlights
Is anyone else liking the previous model driver display much better?
Yep. That left dial has way too much on it to see at a glance. I had a 22 accord as a loaner and it has this display. It didn't show tire pressures...not sure if this does or no but why would you not have tire pressures????
Honda needs to retool their Alabama plant and produce a 3rd gen pickup, or just throw in the towel. These 2nd gen. Ridgelines, especially 2017-2019 were awful; transmission went out in mine at 48k mi.
The design-elements are solid, but execution was off-the-shelf quality, especially the flimsy plastic actuators used in the tailgate. And, if you stood on the bumper with the tailgate down, it'd sag.
I think the earlier models you describe had a different trans which did fail prematurely.
Japanese design, American build quality.
For that price. They can keep em All 😂
Still not a real truck
It's a real truck. A unibody truck as opposed to a body-on-frame truck. Look up the definition of a truck in the dictionary and... GET OVER IT.
@@thekingofdiamonds8300 you spelled unibody suv wrong
