@scottykilmer are you still liking Honda Ridge lines in 2024. And are you still working on cars if so u would love to bring my car to you. For a once over and make it last for 5+ more years please let me know if in July 2024 you still working on cars
@noahsamuelmarkus7021 the paper shows that it did have it done but my ridgeline had very little rust and yours from the video looks like it does too so it's not anything serious to worry about unless it's very rusty.
My uncle has a 2008 Ridgeline and he mostly daily drives it, and he even goes camping with it too! It currently has about 250k miles and still runs strong!!
I will admit I made fun of these trucks when they first came out....but I recently bought an 09 with 156k on it and good body.....I have fallen in love with the thing....and I love that trunk as well...such a well thought out vehicle.
I'm 58 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, we are finding it impossible to replace it. We can get by, but cant seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 40years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for
Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. "You're not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that's going to be way more fun to look at everyday", I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
who is your coach if this is not too much i'm asking? I've been looking into advisors lately myself, my retirement plans are going down the drain, my 401k has particularly lost everything gained since 2019
I'm 61 and concerned but not about myself, about Ukrainians who are fighting and dying for their freedom, grow a backbone because we're in this for the long haul...
Bought an 06 Ridgeline last year and its been a gem that was within a reasonable budget. I wanted a nicer, newer truck but in this economy gotta think smarter. I genuinely enjoy the Ridgeline.
Love this truck. I have owned 2 of them (Gen 1) and has been very reliable. over 200k miles so far no major issues. Only CV axle, struts, and coil packs. Typical wear and tear items , for that type of milage.
@@solidfataiist I owned a 79 Plymouth champ, FWD and did great with cable chains up front. Twin stick transmission. Mca-jet mitsubishi. Great engine and sipped gas.
I have some friends that just bought a '22 Ridgeline. Looks to be an excellent vehicle. I will stick with my dinky little Baja for now, but maybe down the road, who knows? I made a point to pass on Scotty's advice - CHANGE THAT OIL EVERY 5000 MILES!
Dude if you're just out of college, wait a lil and buy the new Ford maverick for around $20k and the give it a 2inch lift or you can go for an auctioned TRD Pro tacoma for just about the same price.
I have a 2007 and it is hands down the best vehicle that I’ve ever owned. 176k on it right now and have only done general maintenance to it. Changing the struts and springs next week. It’s starting to show some rust in the typical areas but is expected in Upstate NY.
The Ridgeline Is an amazing vehicle and would work well for 80% of the people out there. However, if you tow anything over a small trailer that weighs 3500 # or so, you're much better of in a Tundra. I'll bite my tongue on the Ford and the Chevy although older Chevys built between 1999 and 2006 were amazing! The reason I say those who tow are better off in a Tundra is that the Tundra is an actual truck with big robust truck parts and it was built for towing and towing often. If you're consistently towing in the Ridgeline, you're going to break something like a transmission or a motor pretty quick. Let me be clear and replete myself in that the Ridgeline is still an amazing vehicle but it's more car than truck. If you're occasionally bring stuff home from the hardware store or pulling your aluminum bass boat, then by all means, the Ridgeline is perfect for that and it does get noticeably better fuel economy over any of the other trucks. Trust me, I have owned many Tundra's, Ridgelines and Chevy 1500s (minus the newer Chevy's). There are great reasons to like all 3 as long as you are aware of each ones capabilities and make the correct decision that fits your needs.
@@andybales7318 I believe that people buy F150s for the same reaeon they vote Demacrat. They're parents and Grandparents did. There's WAY better options out there.
@@andybales7318 You are entitled to your opinion, even if you are very wrong. You need to take another look at the Tundra and tell me it's not a whole lot tougher than a 150. There are way too many Tundra's with way over 1,000,000 miles on them with the same drivetrain my man. And that's when they are worked hard.
The CV joints flew apart on one of my cars once while driving on the freeway. Those ball bearings created some havoc for others. Thank you Scotty for all the great videos.
I installed an aftermarket CV axel both sides and the car was shaking a lot … took them off and installed Honda brand .. the car drove smoother with the Honda brand ..
Scotty, great advice about the Raptor. Often times people don’t think about the insurance component. The same can be said about motorcycles. I’m 51 years old and have I had motorcycle insurance most of my life so for me it doesn’t matter what bike I ride. When you’re in your 20s, it’s a totally different ball game when it comes to insurance pricing.
My friend traded his in about a year ago for a new one. Only had 100k on it. I asked him why he traded it in, and he was like "Well, it was getting high mileage and had a little over 100k on it and was 7 years old". I about laughed because I'm like "You do realize that 100k on a Honda is nothing?" So he bought a new one -- at least he bought a Ridgeline and didn't cheap out and get a Chevy or something. Although recently he did buy a Ford Bronco (one of the new ones) which I think he will regret in a few years or when the warranty runs out (but he still has the newer Ridgeline). The Ford Maverick puzzles me. It's basically a car with a bed on the back (or an SUV if you think about it). But people are buying them and being like "I have a truck" (yeah, you do, but you're like a "wannabe" truck owner). AT least get a Ranger if you want a small truck and don't want the Toyota or Honda... at least the Ranger is built on a truck frame whereas I don't think the Maverick is or it's a less sturdy / perhaps partial frame given it's price and the size of the vehicle.
My daughter got quoted $2200 for both CV axles at the dealer for the 2010 CRV.......I bought the axles from Detroit Axle for less than $100 replaced them in an hour......RIP OFF
People get these ridglines and baby them and brag about them. You'll never hear the truth. It's like Chevy Ford Dodge guys. They never tell you everything they replaced. The 2000-2002 vehicles seemed better across the entire carverse.
I have an 04 Toyota 4Runner Sport that still looks and runs like new. Apparently 4Runners are immortal. I know three guys who have more than half a million miles on theirs.
I wish Toyota would make their small pickup again, like the first gen trucks from the 1980s. They could probably use the Corolla chassis, I wouldn’t mind if it was front wheel drive.
I have always liked the Honda Ridgeline, but wow they were just out of our budget new. I got a regular cab F150 that year, and still have it---that's a great truck too. The Hondas are good vehicles ---we've owned an Accord, great car. It had over 220,000 miles when we sold it to a college kid. He got another 100,000 out of it!!
I have no problems with my ridge line. In general it's been a pretty good product I haven't had issues with my Honda too much just your typical wearing tear
Not "made" in Alabama. Assembled n Alabama with major components shipped in from Japan. Main problem I 've seen with those is that the power door locks die early and they're a pain to replace. Otherwise a better pickup for many people than any other choice.
only thing to note is the engine timing belt replacement at 100K miles, if the vehicle never had it done then it absolutely needs it and will cost around 1200 to get it done right.
I'm liking those Pilots and Ridgelines Scotty. Well ran dry doing laundry again here in MA. 4 th time this year. primed the stupid well pump, got the water back an hour ago. hope the rain clears this drought up.
I have mentioned to you Scotty in the past, that i own an 06 and 14 Ridgeline with 517,000 & 264,000 km. These trucks as well as my friends, are all bullet proof. You slandered them a couple years ago, now you finally see the light! What gives?? From T.O....
@@AJohnSmith So, are you saying that the Ridgeline all four wheels are driven as a matter of routine? Sorry, but I didn't notice your post until today. Maybe why that explains why I only get 13 mpg around town.
I'm definitely looking for a Honda Ridgeline between 2011 and 2014 you gave great advice is it all wheel drive or four wheel drive or front wheel drive and what is the best mileage to buy up to thank you
You do realize this is the 1st Generation Ridgeline 2006-2014. It start development in 2001. The process to make a unibody pickup truck came a long way with years. The flying buttress I assume you are referring to. The 2nd Generation Ridgeline 2017-2023 bed is fairly normal its shallow but the truck is wider than Tacoma,Ranger,Frontier and GM twins Colorado Canyon. Remember that Ridgeline has a lockable watertight in-bed trunk with drain plug underneath its bed. You can cram an adult body inside of it. But I carry luggage or ice chest valuables.
I remember a couple years back your saying that Honda's big vehicles (their truck, SUVs and minivan in particular) had problems with their transmissions. Is that still the case? Or is it a matter of you can get such a great deal on a used Ridgeline that the money you're going to have to drop into a new transmission later is still worth it? On the towing front, I'm assuming a Ridgeline would be adequate for towing a boat and a small camper? I've been looking at an F150 and a Tundra but I live in Honda town so there's a certain appeal to the Ridgeline.
You did a video three years ago talking about how the Honda ridgeline was not a good truck. Have you changed your thoughts? I’ve actually been considering buying one
I paid $14k for my tundra. It’s at 125k and has 2wd and I love it, decent deal for a tundra. Unfortunately I might have to sell it if gas starts getting above $5 in Detroit:
Ridgeline is a truck bought by people who basically want to drive a Honda Civic. But they appreciate the usefulness of the truck bed. They are not truck guys. But, in buying a Ridgeline, they get the best of both worlds.
O S, Not so at all, but we're glad you're telling everyone what they should drive. Mighty nice of you. I just sold my RAM because I sold my tow behind trailer, and I wanted better gas mileage. It still tows 5K and has a payload of 1500. AWD and all the bells and whistles. And, it'll typically out last any of the big trucks plus it'smuch more reliable. But, your opinion means so much to everyone. TY 👍

I'm liking those Pilots and Ridgelines Scotty. Well ran dry doing laundry again here in MA. 4 th time this year. primed the stupid well pump, got the water back an hour ago. hope the rain clears this drought up.
I'm so old that I have trouble calling these suv's trucks. I own a 1970 full size F100 and would never trade it for any of these modern "trucks".
I would love one of these Honda Pickups but my 2800 pound Elkhorn Cabover Camper would smash it into a pancake!
Crappy Nissan trucks aren't too bad either if you know what will break in the future and replace those particular parts before the truck screws up.
I have mentioned to you Scotty in the past, that i own an 06 and 14 Ridgeline with 517,000 & 264,000 km. These trucks as well as my friends, are all bullet proof. You slandered them a couple years ago, now you finally see the light! What gives?? From T.O....
Scotty, the 1st Gen Ridgelines (2006-2014) have 4 WD, but they default to FWD and divert power to the rear wheels as needed
All 4wd should do that
I believe what you described is the definition of AWD
@@ecobasetech4558 u may be correct. I'm not really sure of the difference between 4WD and AWD. I've also seen the term full time 4WD.
@@ecobasetech4558 No, AWD are Subarus, always 4WD. Ridgelines have electric packs to control back wheel spin if necessary.
@@AJohnSmith So, are you saying that the Ridgeline all four wheels are driven as a matter of routine? Sorry, but I didn't notice your post until today. Maybe why that explains why I only get 13 mpg around town.
I never have to pass a Ridgeline on the interstate. I'm always passing F150's.
@@andybales7318 and don’t forget f150 are rated #1 for buyer’s remorse when it breaks down 😂
I'm definitely looking for a Honda Ridgeline between 2011 and 2014 you gave great advice is it all wheel drive or four wheel drive or front wheel drive and what is the best mileage to buy up to thank you
If the ridgeline bed didn’t look like that and made it slick like how the maverick looks I wouldn’t mind buying it
You do realize this is the 1st Generation Ridgeline 2006-2014. It start development in 2001. The process to make a unibody pickup truck came a long way with years.
The flying buttress I assume you are referring to. The 2nd Generation Ridgeline 2017-2023 bed is fairly normal its shallow but the truck is wider than Tacoma,Ranger,Frontier and GM twins Colorado Canyon.
Remember that Ridgeline has a lockable watertight in-bed trunk with drain plug underneath its bed. You can cram an adult body inside of it. But I carry luggage or ice chest valuables.
I like them, also, especially the body style! The new one looks boxy, in my opinion, and I don't care for that at all.
Thank you sir 👍
The mid 2010s Honda Ridgelines are at minimum $21,000 on the used market.
I prefer my F-150. Much more room and power.
Brotherinlaw had a 2007 with 660000 kilometers on it when he sold it .
This truck is what 95% of men need for their weekend trips to the grocery stores & Starbucks with the family
No six passenger option like my F-150 means it's not an option for me... I do love Honda though, My S2000 and Civic Si have been great!
Ridgelines are all awd. It's funny how people laugh at Ridgelines and drool over an Forrester with less than 200 hp.
I really want a ridgeline, but I am waiting for a hybrid version with ecvt with better gas mileage.
What do you think of the new Ridgelines Scotty? (17-23)
Has s rubba timing belt haha only issue i hear is distance warning is finicky
Scotty, where is this? I know it's not Oklahoma, but the scenery sure looks like the area in and around OKC.
76,000 miles damn thats new for these
Though the axle issue makes me think it might not be actual mileage
Great video like the way you explain about vehicles
Good day Scotty!
hello!
I remember a couple years back your saying that Honda's big vehicles (their truck, SUVs and minivan in particular) had problems with their transmissions. Is that still the case? Or is it a matter of you can get such a great deal on a used Ridgeline that the money you're going to have to drop into a new transmission later is still worth it? On the towing front, I'm assuming a Ridgeline would be adequate for towing a boat and a small camper? I've been looking at an F150 and a Tundra but I live in Honda town so there's a certain appeal to the Ridgeline.
Loved the picture of the traffic cone fancy cold air intake!!! LOL!!!
I thought TDC (top-dead-center) had to do with the timing of the engine, not the distributor....?
Can we please have a Scotty for motorcycles as well???
Waving hands for the driver might be a problem.
What are your thoughts on the 2018 - 2023 Honda Ridgeline?
Which year would you say it the best
Ford ranger: Am I a joke to you?
I prefer the ranger of the old ones since there’s a 4 cylinder available.
I've had an 89 and an 01 Ranger. Great trucks.
I saw Ford was going to put out the El rancho again and it looked pretty much just like the Ridgeline
Scotty your crazy to say a Silverado is better than an f150 🤣🤣🤣
@3:30 - I would get OEM front axels. I made that mistake of getting after market and they were horrible. I swapped them out with OEM and much better.
I hear the 06 Ridgelines have an issue with the engine cylinder 4. Is the right or wrong?
With good care Can I expect an 06 to go 300k miles?
Same engine as the Honda pilot
I'm sorry, a Raptor as a first car is just Stupid!
FYI yall it’s nearly 7k to replace the transmission
If you don’t like the noise just turn the radio up ⬆️ 😊
You did a video three years ago talking about how the Honda ridgeline was not a good truck. Have you changed your thoughts? I’ve actually been considering buying one
Only 75k miles and the CV joints on both have already gone bad? I wouldn’t have expected that from Honda.
Front wheel drive engage rear 4wd that’s why
Yep he got a problem he did buy a truck he purchased a minvan with a 4x4 place to put his bicycle.
Bloody awesome wish we had them in the uk 👍🏻😉
I paid $14k for my tundra. It’s at 125k and has 2wd and I love it, decent deal for a tundra. Unfortunately I might have to sell it if gas starts getting above $5 in Detroit:
If I didn't want/need a real truck with a V8, I would drive a Ridgeline - they are excellent multi-purpose vehicles.
Dodge Rampage was front wheel drive
I love hondas, more than anything. But this couldn’t tow a lawn mower if it tried
It will tow. 3500 lb is about anything you can put on a single axle trailer.
After 9 Honda Products. You Could never get me to buy another one with High mileage. Once there over 200 000. they Are not toyota's.
the insurance on my 2010 silverado 1500 is 4k cad a yr and by tmr i should drop it by 2k
Ridgeline is a truck bought by people who basically want to drive a Honda Civic. But they appreciate the usefulness of the truck bed. They are not truck guys. But, in buying a Ridgeline, they get the best of both worlds.
Agree 👍
4 inch bed ? Not a truck!
i own one. its more like an accord v6 than a civic
O S,
Not so at all, but we're glad you're telling everyone what they should drive. Mighty nice of you.
I just sold my RAM because I sold my tow behind trailer, and I wanted better gas mileage. It still tows 5K and has a payload of 1500. AWD and all the bells and whistles. And, it'll typically out last any of the big trucks plus it'smuch more reliable. But, your opinion means so much to everyone.
TY 👍
