Not everyone NEEDS a full duty truck, with it's pluses and minuses. I could use a pick up bed from time to time, but would like the ride and handling of a suv. This fits the bill perfectly. Thanks for the detailed review, very helpful.
For me personally I think it’s the absolute best all around vehicle on the market and I totally agree with you. Thanks for watching
Best video I've seen on the Ridgeline! Love the way you guys take your time and go over it in detail. Great presentation.
Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for watching!
The Ridgeline is perfect for suburban outdoor enthusiasts. For those into fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, etc., a full size gas hog isn't a necessity.
I believe Honda would do itself and buyers a favor if they offered an off-road package. Something that offers a factory 2" lift with 265/65R18 tires (that seems to be the size of aftermarket kits) and off-road settings that allow locking the center and rear differentials.
That’s a great 👍 idea. The sales manager at our local Honda dealer has a 2” lift on his and it’s looks awesome. Thanks for watching
Brother this is an understatement. I would go buy one of these right now if that was an option. Kind of like a larger subaru baja. It would need to msrp lower than a frontier and way lower than a tacoma. Base trim would be ideal.
I just bought this truck, love everything about it. I had the trim and the bed cover added. Best truck ever, still have not figured out all the buttons, but I will. Love the lights and stereo in the bed. This truck rides like a car, very comfortable. I also got the scalet pearl color. Love it .
Thanks!!! Check out our infotainment how to video on this Ridgeline. Might help you out with some of those buttons. th-cam.com/video/cvhYw2IKD4o/w-d-xo.html. Thanks for watching
How do you like the 9-speed transmission?
I love everything about it . Its the best little truck
@@cuzicarepooh How is the 9-speed? Because there have been A LOT of reports of issues with the 9-speed. I hate to buy an otherwise great truck if it has a problematic transmission.
@@cuzicarepooh How do you like the push button shifter?
Great review! I have a 2017 Ridgeline Touring and I learned a few things I did not know my Ridgeline could do. I am always surprised that the American version of the top of the line Ridgeline does not have features that come standard on the top of the line Canadian Ridgeline..(Touring) (excluding the Black Edition although even the American Black Edition does not have all the features of the Canadian Touring Edition) The Canadian Touring Edition has 1. signal lights on the mirrors, 2. power folding mirrors, 3. HVAC controls on the back of the centre console for the rear passengers, 4. Heated front and BACK seats and COOLED front seats, 5. a CD player. and is about $1000.00 less expensive. I don't understand why Americans are not being given these features.
Im with you. Sound like the US Verdions are really mission out. Thanks for the information and thanks for watching
Got my RTL-T August 2016 shortly after the Gen 2 came out. 4 + years 57,000 miles. Excellent vehicle perfect for my needs.
It’s a great truck! Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching!
Been looking at the Ridgeline for 3 years. Needed a pickup for 30. 😆 Just bought a low mile RTL-E. It is amazing!!! Great car, great truck, great fusion of both worlds! You guys pushed me over the edge. Thank you!
Congratulations on your new truck, we’re jealous! We both loved this truck. We’re always glad when our viewers find our videos helpful. Thanks for watching!
I just bought a 2021 sport two weeks ago. The new 9 speed transmission takes some getting used to and the adaptive cruise doesn't hold speed well on grades but dang this TRUCK which is what it is drives better than any trucking I've ever owned, hauls whatever I need it to and I can even tow. It handles well and it is a Honda.
It’s a very good truck. One of our personal favorites. Thanks for watching

I used to sell Hondas and actually led the district in Ridgeline sales a few times. I would sell them by being honest, almost always I'd say something like. "I'm from Central California and all my family are farmers they would never drive this truck because they need more from a truck every day than this can give. But for the average person that just needs to throw some stuff in the bed tow a small trailer tow a little jet ski anything like that, an all-wheel drive Ridgeline is perfect. You won't find a better ride and the cabin is comparable to a pilot, it's the truck for people that don't need a truck everyday." Usually the dual function tailgate and locking in bed storage pretty much sold itself. It was easy to sell against the Colorado and frontier The only real challenge was trying to sell it against Tacoma.
Thanks for sharing. I agree trying to sell it against the Tacoma would be a tough sell but it would be interesting to see a hard-core truck person who needed the off-road versatility of a Tacoma actually come in to compare a Ridgeline. Thanks for watching
The secret I found to selling against the Tacoma was that the husband always wanted a Tacoma and the wife would want an SUV typically so I would convince the wife that this is basically a pilot with a truck bed and the husband would go with it just to get a new truck. This happened more than once, But honestly they're both great vehicles. I feel like if you are into tech or comfort the Honda is a better choice if you just want a truck that feels like a truck and drives like a truck obviously the Tacoma is for you.
@@richardjones1988 agreed. I see the Tacoma as more of an off-road rough and tumble truck and the Ridgeline as the comfortable every day use vehicle that can also handle your Home Depot or Costco runs as needed.
Just bought a new one love the steering and the ride.
Right? It’s a great truck. Thanks for watching
Wainting for 2021 Ridgeline to hit dealers lot any week now. Love the 2021 new front end & HPD package.
Thanks for the excellent review. I have it in mind to get the RTL-E and your thorough walk through of the interior was especially helpful for me.
Thanks, we’re always glad when our viewers find our videos helpful. Don’t forget to subscribe. Thanks for watching!
The best choice for people who need both car and truck in one. Ridgeline is a good looking vehicle.
We agree completely! Thanks for watching
The radio volume when you hit the volume plus minus it lights up on the screen bigger control that’s the one you use for sliding up and down the volume. Great review on all the features of the truck
Thanks for the information and Thanks for watching!
In the glove box there is a switch you can turn on or off for the tailgate that will lock or unlock with remote or power lock switches. Also Honda built in a fail safe underneath the tail gate there is a key slot/cover you can remove. Pull on cable to unlock gate if it ever does not unlock with the power locks.
Thanks for sharing. We always appreciate when our viewers can add content. Thanks for watching!
The landscape supply company nearby uses a 1.5 cubic yard front loader. Positioned diagonally, all of the compost/mulch fits without any overspill. I even level it with a garden rake to keep the wind from catching in the wind, still no product overspill. This is very helpful and also boasts the largest-in-class short-box (64 cubic feet), which is a reasonable compromise for not offering a long-box upgrade like Ranger or Tacoma. I appreciate the 4’x8’: plywood, drywall, paneling, and foam board all fitting flush to the bed’s deck for stability and less worrisome in terms of not sliding out. The in-bed trunk is brilliant and one of my most used features for runs to Sam’s Club, Costco, Publix, Walmart, Lowe’s, Home Depot, Pike Nursery, and etc... If it was available, I’d be willing to pay for an upgrade option to have an insulated trunk and insulated trunk lid to hold a more stable temperature.
Daniel Stinson I absolutely love how extremely versatile this truck is. It’s my personal all around best choice vehicle for all occasions. Of all the vehicles we’ve reviewed this is still my favorite and it sounds like your are as equally sold. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching
this is the best review that i've ever seen. well detailed!!!!!!!!
Wow, thanks for the compliment.
Looking at one of these for HVAC service work. Need the AWD and ground clearance for no-heat call outs in bad winter weather, gravel, less maintained roads. Need the storage pace for tools and parts, but can live without a rolling storeroom on a full size van like a Transit. The rear seat folded up would afford a lot of rom for tools and parts. We live in a rural area, so a comfortable, quiet vehicle would be a huge bonus. On top of all of these, used prices are similar to other midsized and far less than full sized trucks.
For utility. The bed is plenty big for a 36” AC condenser still boxed and a furnace. The bed isn’t;t much smaller than the Chevy Silverado we have now.
All very good points. It has great resale value and the dependability and reliability of a Honda. Thanks for watching
Most technically detailed video on the Ridgeline I've seen. Sound dampening glass? Heavy duty tranny cooler? Stadium seats in the back? Great stuff! Although I wish someone would describe the power output on the usb ports. My wifes 2016 Accord only puts out 1.0 volts. Barely powers my Samsung Galaxy.
Glad our video helped out. I’ll check on the USB output and let you know. Thanks for watching
The front USB port is a 1.5 amp the one in the center arm rest is a 1.0 and the 2 in the back are 2.5 each. Thanks for watching!
We also created a “how to” video on this truck that goes through the drivers information screen and the infotainment screen. You can access it by clicking on this link th-cam.com/video/cvhYw2IKD4o/w-d-xo.html
Thanks again for watching!
Great review. Also for highlighting the trizone climate control. I don't think any other midsized truck that option. My favorite is the remote start that is standard in almost all trims.
This is a fantastic truck! Thanks for watching
Not many people think its a real truck. I own a '17 RTL AWD with Truxxx leveling kit and Bfg Ko2 tires. More than enough truck for me. I rarely tow anything. Just needing an open bed to haul things to the dump. Fits in my garage backwads with ease. Multi camera especially backing up. (Wide angle for backing up from grocery stores & target/walmart. AWD launches beats any 4WD 100 times especially in the rain.
Archie Magtibay we agree. “Real” truck guys look down at it, but I don’t care. It’d meet all my needs and I’d be the person paying for it. It checks all my boxes too. It’s still my Favorite Great all around vehicle available today.
I like it 👌I bought it yesterday fantastic 👌
Great 👍 Congrats! Thanks for watching
cool review, would have liked to seen the basic version review ( sport edition) as it's well equipped for it's price point, if any dealer actually were to stock it lol
Agreed. We review whats in stock. When we do review a top level trim, at least it gives our viewers an idea of all the available options and tech across the vehicle's trim levels. Thanks for watching
I have the 2020 RTL-E no problems, i do my own oil changes. I dont like the piano black trim, it gets dusty fast. I hate that everytime you start it, you have to reset the radio, to show the stations.
Thanks for sharing
Guys really dislike when you call this a pickup truck, regardless what you say I love the sportiness and the current 19.7 mpg!! :)
It’s a truck
It is a pickup truck. Why would you think otherwise ??? It can haul almost 1600 lbs in the bed and tow 5000 lbs.
It's not meant to go against silverado, it's midsized, plus the quality can't be beat.
Just test drove one of these the other day. They got rid of the side camera because it wasn't considered a "safety" feature. :(
Thats a shame. I had an Accord and that right side camera that displayed in the center screen when you gave your right turn signal was my favorite feature! This is still a great truck! Thanks for watching.
The info entertainment screen is plastic , not glass and it really shows the fingerprints. It might pay to keep a cloth in the cubby to wipe that screen now and then. I noticed a switch or something directly behind the light in the rear seat. Would that be a switch for rear passengers to turn the light on or off ? It's time for me to trade. I currently have a 2004 Toyota Tacoma 4DR SR5 pre-runner with 126,700 miles on it and it appears to be increasing in value. Always serviced at my local Toyota dealership. ( oversize tires , alinements , tire rotation , oil & filters , Etc. ). My plan is to purchase a Honda RTL-E during the last two weeks of December this year or the First week in January. ( Any Suggestions ? ). I am doing a wide search from Gainesville, FL south to Tampa and also East to Orlando. My Questions: How can you determine the manufactures date in the Honda Ridgeline VIN number ? Most dealers include the vin number in their ad's on their web sites and I have read that after 60 - 90 days on their lots they are more motivated to sell that vehicle. - Should I trade or Sell out right ? - I've been told not to mention that I am paying cash. Is that a good Idea ? With the 2021 Ridgeline's arriving in December I should be able to get a good deal .... RIGHT ? One Dealer has already marked the same color RTL-E down $4000 . Last question How can I find out what the dealership paid for the vehicle ? ( Is it the same for all RTL-E's ? ) ---- LOVE YOUR VIDEO ---- YOU GUYS ARE OF THE AGE GROUP THAT SPEAKS TO THE SAME GROUP -- THANKS
Thanks for the questions and the kind words, we appreciate it! To answer your first question the little item you saw behind the dome lights in the rear, is a little speaker grill. It looks like it would be for a microphone (like you have in the front for use with voice command or talking on your phone through the cars system) but in fact it is just a "dummy" button meaning there is nothing hooked to it. My best guess is that Honda might have put it there for a future item they are planning on adding at a later date. In short, to my knowledge (and the Honda dealership) it has no functionality. We'll follow up shortly on answering your other questions. Thanks for watching!
Ok in terms of reading the manufacture year from the VIN number, that should be the 10th letter in the VIN and basically "A"=1980 and "Y"=2000, then it switches to numbers so "1"=2001 and "9" =2009, and then it starts over using letters again so now "A"=2010 and "M"=2021. You can also look at the manufacture sticker in the drivers door and the month and year of manufacture will be on the top of the sticker somewhere.
Should you trade or sell, well in general you get more for your car if you sell it outright, I'd suggest looking up the Bluebook value of your vehicle and when you do that it will be able to show you the trade in value, plus the value if you sell it outright. One thing to consider is that dealers are searching for good used cars to put on their lots for sale, so you might get a really good deal trading in.
Should you mention your paying cash, well in general I wouldn't tip my hand to the dealer, but do dealers give cash incentives (say $500) off the price for paying cash...some do, but that discount (if its available) will still be available to you whether or not you told the dealer prior to getting the price set that you where paying cash. I guess I'm trying to say, telling the dealer your paying cash does not give you an advantage in my mind, but might give you a disadvantage, but it's a personal choice.
In general when a dealer gets new redesigned cars/trucks in, the old ones can be picked up at a discounted price, however some factors to think about here, 1, Dealers are having a hard time keeping inventory up during covid, which can tend to keep up the price of used cars, and 2, the Ridgeline while an excellent choice for a vehicle, also holds its resale value. Hope this has been helpful. thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!
@@TwoGuysandaRide Thanks for your advise. I have been told that the longer a vehicle sits on the lot the more eager they will be to deal on it. I have also been told the best time to buy / trade is the last two weeks in December or the First week in January because of SALES QUOTAS and SLOW SALES during Christmas and New Years. I am collecting cars listing showing the VIN numbers on the RTL-E's so when I am ready to start dealing with several dealers , I hope to confirm the car I am interested in is still on their lot and dealing via the computer is a lot easier and saves a lot of driving. I don't care to be tag teamed by a couple of sales people . ( That happened at a Toyota Dealership and I got up and walked out ). I hope to make it clear that each dealer has one shot at my business and will E-mail me their ROCK BOTTOM , OUT the DOOR , TAX , Tag and TITLE included in the Selling price. I have noticed that several dealers have 8 or more 2020 Ridgeline's currently and the 2021 Ridgeline's will be arriving in December. I would hope the sales people will be hungry for a sale. Also One dealer states " No SALES Commission " Prices are clearly marked on the windshields . Other Dealers are offering Life time Limited Warranties . ( Are these Gimmicks ? ) After watching your Video I am totally sold on the RTL-E . Love the Blue , White , Silver , Dark Gray or Pewter . I would rather have a Gray or light colored interior over black but would take the truck that gives me the best deal .
Can you explain to me why KBB , Edmunds , Nada all have different fair market values on the same truck . Do most dealers still use the little
yellow NADA book to determine trade in value ? One Last Question. Would it be better to deal on a 2021 or the 2020 ? I don't see much
difference in them.
I'd think that dealing on a 2020 would yield you a better deal since they are now technically one model year old even sitting on the lot. Dealers pay "floor plan" money when a vehicle sits on their lot so naturally the faster they sell them the less money they pay out to the mfg or bank. Finding a vehicle that you want thats been on the lot a long time helps in the deal. Also KBB, Edmunds, NADA all use a different metrics to determine Fair Market Value. Besides, a real fair market deal is subjective being that what the consumer pays is what the data is derived from. So one group of dealers may have higher profit sales and another may have medium profit on each vehicle so those numbers all go int the mix for the FMV data. Bottom line is, the deal you are happy with on the vehicle you want is the only real metric that matters. After its the money from your pocket that counts not what someone else paid.
great review looking at the ford ranger lariat BUT the ridgeline has it beat by milesr...
We agree. The Ridgeline is in a whole different class. Much better ride and driving with most of the towing capability of its competitors. It’s the best all around daily driver and weekend warrior truck out there. Thanks for watching
Great comprehensive review! About how wide is the second row when the seats are up? Wondering if it could be wide enough to have the kids sleep in while car camping
Wow...fantastic question but one that I don't have the answer for this time. In the Future you can bet thats a new measurement that I'll be happy to take and pass along. Awesome Question!!! Thanks for watching!
Do you guys think that Honda will ever produce a full size pickup? I think they should!!
I think with the Ridgeline selling so well that Honda has found its niche. I doubt that it would want to try and complete with the big three American trucks. Thanks for watching
Yes , but this truck has all i need and more . , some may want bigger but this is in my opintion is all you need . Of course the young kids want a more showy truck . I get it .
I always thought that would be badass. But in order to do so Honda would need to make a brand v8 engine and a framed vehicle. Both of which I don’t think they’ve ever done so if the truck turned into a flop it would be a huge loss for Honda.
Great review gents! Just curious, when you sat in the back seat it looked like you were just about as tall as would be comfortable for an extended trip - how tall might you be sir? Thanks!
Thanks for the question. Nathan and I are both 5’10” tall. Thanks for watching
I own 2020; great leg room in back. That's why we picked this over Tacoma. I'm 6ft and have no problem.
Question: can you put a full size spare tire in the spare tire bay? The reason I ask this is because you cannot use a donut tire if towing.
I'm really not sure. I doubt it but best answer may come from contacting your local Honda Dealer. Thanks for watching
@@TwoGuysandaRide thanks guys - this is one issue for me with this truck - I tow a cargo trailer with a motorcycle total weight with cargo maybe 4000lbs + now a full spare!
@@mikemerrill175 maybe the next redesign of this model that could be addressed?
I forgot to say excellent njob on the video. I'm still loving my Ridgeline, but I have one more question. When cutting the vehicle off everything (radio) turns off. Do you think Honda could fix this with a system update in the future? Most cars leave the radio on until you open the doors and sometimes I'm in the middle of my favorite jam. #JustSayin
And if you happen to talk to Honda please let them know they forgot a mite button as well.
Okay that's it, I promise
Great point! I guess we didn't realize that it didn't have reserve power until you open the doors. Another very good question. Let's see what we can find out...we'll let you know if we hear back. Thanks
WHY you do not mention biggest change for the 2020 ridgeline?- 9 speed transmission w paddle shifters. How does it compare with old 6 speed in mileage and driving characteristics?
Check out the 2019 videos we did when we started and in the description of both you can see and read the differences
Actually, the bigger improvements are that they replaced the rear doors checkers with the longer ones so now you get a wider opening in the rear. I replaced those myself in my 2017 and it took me 15 mins. The tailgate handle lock is now integrated with the power door locks in the 2020 and that's awesome.
monzx3 it’s a completely awesome truck
@@TwoGuysandaRide I agree . After 20 years I finally got the truck of my dreams .There isnt anything I don't like.... Love this truck .
@@cuzicarepooh Personally...I want one too :)
Hey guys, new sub here. Great video. I am looking to get a 21 model BE RL but I have a big concern regarding this new ZF 9 sp transmission. I have heard about hesitation and gear hunting with this new unit. I was wondering what your thoughts were regarding this 9 sp. Thanks!
Thanks for the SUB and welcome to the channel! I know there was lots of chatter online about the Honda 9 speed a few years ago. Especially in the Pilot. I know Honda has done some software updates and fine tuning and I haven't heard any complaints of issues with the 9 speed in a long while. I'd imagine that the Ridgeline followed suit and received the same fine tuning. As for when we drove it, the engine and transmission were very responsive and no lag was noticed. In fact it had very smooth shifts to match its great ride. Personally, I'm looking to get one myself and I think you should as well. With all of the vehicles that we test, the Ridgeline is still my Overall Best Vehicle for all types of uses. Thanks for watching!
@@TwoGuysandaRide Amazing response, really appreciated! You guys are awesome! Happy Turkey day!
@@Tony-yl1yo you as well!
GREAT USEFUL PICK UP TRUCK VERY UTILITARIAN
We completely agree. Thanks for watching
Do you guys know why in the world they (initially) made a back seat door that didn't open fully? I just bought a 2020 Ridgeline and love it, but I still want to know that answer.
Im guessing they were more focused on the door opening in a crowded parking lot with kids getting in and out than they were with the utility of the back seat area.Good question. Thanks for watching
Always forgetting foot casts, & other medical problems. Need a place for wheelchairs & walkers, canes, oxygen bottles! That’s where the back seat area, shines. No one wants a dirty wheel chair in the house. Love mine in the winter weather. Handles very well!
@U Betcha what about us big guys? 🥳👍🏻
@U Betcha what about us big guys? 🥳👍🏻
I'm getting mine!
Congratulations it’s a great truck.
question '' when econ is activated, whats the mpg like?''
Honda simply states the the throttle responses will be smoother and the transmission shifts are recalibrated but they don't give any specific mileage numbers or percentage to what the Econ button can actually save you in Money or increase in your MPG. I guess it's assumed that less aggressive driving results in great MPG's and Honda's Econ button serves as a damper on aggressive driving tendencies. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.
I like this compact truck but didn't available our century Oman dealership. that !!
Thanks for watching
It’s a Truck. It’s not a Truck. What do you say?
Drop us a comment and tell us what you think!
I understand that it is the most versatile mid-size pickup on the market.
@@jordipi7652 exactly! Thanks for watching
@@TwoGuysandaRide The only handicap is that I wish I could choose a diesel engine.
@@jordipi7652 Now that would be interesting. Lot's more torque but I'm not sure if the Ridgeline is engineered to tow heavier loads. I like how you think. Thanks for watching
I didn’t see a mention of a navigation/maps feature. I have a first generation Ridgeline RTL and the nav system is built in to the infotainment center. Is that still the case with the newer models, or does navigation now get fed from a phone app?
You can get it both ways. We did a detailed video How To on the infotainment system and you can see that video here: th-cam.com/video/cvhYw2IKD4o/w-d-xo.html

Hi guys,, just go a 2020 ridgeline sport ,but can't turn on the top long LED daytime running lights, would you guys know how they go on, thanks
According to the manual they should come on automatically when A, the vehicle is running, B the headlight switch is off, and C, the parking brake is released. I have also discovered that you may need to have the vehicle in gear for them to come on. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
Looking forward to your review of the 2021 Ridgeline (which is starting to show up at dealerships).
So are we! Can’t wait. Thanks for watching
I'm particularly interested in the "improvements" in the infotainment system.
Agree...it lags in responsiveness and over all layout
I just got a 2019 ridgeline with the old 6 speed transmission.
Do you know if the transmission cooler was updated from 2019 when the changed to a 9 speed, or is it the same one?
Unfortunately that’s information that I can’t find online. I’d suggest searching some Ridgeline forums or reaching out to your local dealer to see if they can get the answer from their Honda Rep. thanks for watching
I've owned a 2020 for 3 months now; the cupholders and door trays suck. The hard plastic makes everything rattle. The adaptive cruise control is dangerous! It doesn't "see" small vehicles and can negate the distancing between vehicles. The Collision avoidance system is crap; I get "BRAKE" warnings from 2 lane traffic all the time, it's worthless. I've had the brake mngt system slam on brakes when another vehicle is making a left turn in the left turn lane. It's dangerous!
So I’ll mark you as a “no”. Thanks for watching
It’s a real shame that this Honda truck-car out performs midsize GMCs, Chevy’s and TOYOTA’s trucks in nearly every category, power, payload, towing... Frankly just embarrassing for you canyon and taco owners. Thank you ford for bringing the Ranger back just in time. Granted the Ranger isn’t perfect, but at least it’s still a real midsize truck.
I’ll still pick the Ridgeline as best overall. Thanks for watching
I just seen an S-10 in traffic, and it reminded me why I bought the Ridgeline. And that goes for the Ranger, also. Good trucks, but strictly for work, run them into the ground, and get another. Love my Ridgeline Sport! Everything I need for my Retirement shopping, and all weather driving conditions. Mileage like some automobiles, but big enough to fit what you buy from Home Depot. Nice being able to carry gasoline outside of the cab. Got room in the back for 3 car seats, since we have to keep them in car seats for so long. And did I mention comfort! I could drive this vehicle all day, while enjoying the Sound system. Quite enough to engage in a conversation that’s understandable. Love the 9 speed gear transmission, so smooth, that it takes the aggressiveness out of my driving, which gives me better mileage, and safer driving. Not very often is something good for you, and FUN too!
Nice little truck but too much money. Honda makes a very good dependable vehicle.
Great truck but still less expensive than equally spec'd competitors and with great re-sale value. Thanks for watching!
@@TwoGuysandaRide GREAT TRUCK GREED HAS SET I N FROM THE DEALER TO ADDD ON TO THE STICKER THANKYOU
@@johnbayliss1098 True, but luckily here in our MN market 99% of the dealers are not adding "Market Value Pricing" or "addendum Stickers" with over inflated add ons.

Thanks for watching!
No need to test drive the Passport. You just did.
We’ve driven the Pilot, Passport and Ridgeline and all three have their own driving characteristics. Each is completely different. Thanks for watching
It is not a truck, the only excuse they make is that it is too smooth to drive, but all other trucks are too smooth to drive
It’s a truck. Thanks for watching
@@TwoGuysandaRide ok but what does it better than the others trucks according to you?
Carlos Lopez my task is to show each vehicle’s attributes. The Ridgeline definitely checks lots of boxes for people not looking for a traditional body on frame pick up truck. I agree that it’s outside the norm of what the big three auto makers produce as “trucks” but there’s no argument that Honda has filled a niche and in the truck segment. Yes they don’t sell hundreds of thousands of them each year, but they do have a steady sales history and they, like more traditional trucks hold their resale value. In the end, a vehicle has to match the consumers needs and Honda like Chevy, Ford and Ram has built a vehicle to meet the demands of their customers.
@@TwoGuysandaRide Honda fans i sure wish they had a very layered truck on the OFF ROAD
Carlos Lopez I’m sure if off-road ability was a top priority then the Ridgeline wouldn’t be on their shopping list.
Wearing white shorts and a palm tree shirt. Please don't ever do that again!! 🤯
