Congrats on the new Honda! I’m so impressed that you made another 40 min video on the same basic vehicle and were able to show us a completely different angle. I enjoyed the owners perspective of your review 👍👍
Thank you for visiting my channel Jason :)
Haha I have a 2018. Best vehicle I have ever owned.
The metal end on the fob is the actual key. Can’t really get rid of that part.
And here in Canada, our Ridgelines have:
-cooled seats
-power folding mirrors
-heated rear seats
-rear climate control panel
-standard CD player
-mirror LED turn signals
-heated windshield
Noice dude that's a solid truck I honestly thought for a Honda I would've imagined you in the Passport.
I've never seen a video for this truck, but really cool to see that you got one of these, hope it lasts you a long time!
Smoothest ride of any vehicle under $40K that I have ever owned. Nice choice, Mike!
Unibody and rear coil springs are the real deal. On higher trim levels: Remember the free online updates from Garmin for GPS, via a USB stick.
traded my 2018 RTL-T in for a 2020 RTL 2 weeks ago. First thing missing I noticed was the LED daytime running lights are no longer there. They appear to be there but not there. Like the push button shift but it seems to shift hard. Moonroof and rear power window is nice. Wheel accents went from dark grey to black. White was cream-like white on 2018 and more white on 2020. Added another K&N Air Filter and tinted all the windows 5% to upset law enforcement here in CA, really to keep it cool, safety glass, and so no one can see in just in case I forget something valuable inside. Considering an LED upgrade and bed rack for bikes and gear. Rides like a dream in LA traffic and on mountain roads, great in heavy rain, light rain and muddy dirt roads, and in snow.
I own a 2010 F150, moving to a mid-sized truck, test drove Ridgeline and Frontier Honda hands down best more room and a better ride. Waiting for the 2024 Ridgeline update maybe we can get ventilated seats on the RTLE for the southern buyers. Thanks for all your informative youtube reviews big help.
I bought the twin in dark interior, without electric seats, but I’m the only driver, so no adjusting. Got the 2020 Sport last month, because my Dodge Durango AWD, was 15 years old. It really held up well, but only had 58,000 miles on it, but looked showroom new. Had V8, for towing my little trailer, and for snow storms. 15-17 MPG, SO we drove our Prius, most of the time. I looked for a new truck, and was favoring a Toyota, since I liked my dealership so well, but looked into a Colorado also. I didn’t even realize Honda made a pickup, since I wasn’t in the market after buy my 2005 Dodge. I spent hours comparing pickups, and ran across the Honda. I didn’t think I needed an extended cab with poor roominess in the rear, and I don’t need a long bed or Off Road truck. I needed something easy to get in and out of, for me and my wife. She broke a bone in her foot falling down, and had to wear a boot and cane. I bought my truck on the internet, because of COVID-19, and sealed the deal at the Dealership! I was surprised by getting truck that was beyond my expectations! And it still impresses me every time I drive it! Your video is very informative for a new owner, and I thank you, and subscribed! 👍🏻
“Yup” the Honda Ridgeline is going to be my next truck, hopefully real soon.
YAHOO!!!! Phenomenal choice in truck! You’ve got heavy duty with a smoother ride that Tacoma! And it’s proven reliable!
I just bought a 2018 RTL-E w 8200 miles, very practical for my needs. Good luck.
solid truck. My buddy has had a Ridgeline since 2007 and has had practically zero issues and 180,000 miles later.
Congratulations
pog
That is a nice vehicle. Honda makes fine vehicles. I just got the Accord a few months ago, and I am very pleased with it.
CONGRATS MIKE! I love Honda and especially the Ridgeline! They’re super practical and a light duty truck for people who don’t want a standard truck like you said.
Happy for you man. Hope you enjoy your new ride for many years to come!
Congrats Mike!, keep us posted on how it holds up.
Congratulations I love it I used to make them when I was working at the Honda plant in Lincoln AL.
The key fob is heavy as you have a spare key inside the fob.
Nice truck dude. been subscribed since last year. it’s amazing to see how much grew. keep up the good work.
Thank you for a detailed story and a demonstration of the design of this pickup. I like it!
My dad just got an RTL-E, he’s in love with it
Great video, congrats on your new Honda Ridgeline, love my 2018 Honda Ridgeline Black Edition.
Just got a 2020 RTL, and I was looking for some videos on it (found yours). Grats on your purchase! This is my 3rd Honda myself (previously owned a 2000 Accord coupe, and a 2005 Accord coupe).
Three of my local dealerships couldn't locate an RTL-E or a Black Edition, so I had to settle for the RTL. Same exterior color as yours, but with the black interior. I really sacrificed on the 580 watt sound system with truck bed audio, the truck bed power outlet, and the auto-switching high beams/low beams. But now even the additional interior ambient lighting I wish I had.
I agree with you in that the RTL is a very "dark" vehicle (not enough lighting). And no vanity lights on the driver and passenger side sun visors is a real drag (more so for my passenger). But as for the ride of this truck, it's absolutely amazing. I'm like you in that I needed something to haul boxes home from the home improvement store, but I also have a quad I need to tow around. The Ridgeline is perfect for those needs.
I'll be totally overhauling the sound system in it (just like I did with my 05 Accord), so I won't miss the 580 watt sound system of the RTL-E. But I still wish my local dealers could have located the RTL-E for the additional lighting. I'm also adding some options to it (trunk organizer, all weather plastic mats, under-seat storage system, running boards, auto-dimming rear view mirror, and the outdoor package which includes the bed cover).
All in all, I'm very happy with the Ridgeline, as I'm sure you are also. Thanks for sharing your video.
The paddle shifters are really there for towing as opposed to speed.
I think Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are for people who want total control over what they’re listening to or use map apps like Waze.
Congrats Mike great choice
Congrats brotha!
I bought a 2017 RTL-T this past June, traded in my 2006 Ridgeline....absolutely LOVE it!!!!! Good choice for sure 👌!!!!! Great video.
Glad you got a truck.... Really nice ... congratulations.
That’s a good choice man!
I am keeping my scat Pack Challenger but looking at 2021 Ridgeline for every day driver in New Hampshire.
Congratulations!!!!
Congratulations Mike! Really like the bumper sticker as well!
Awesome truck Mike. Love Honda. May have to consider getting a truck for my next vehicle
Great video! I loved all the details on little things and your opinions and use cases. I think the Ridgeline should be a top pick truck for any of us who don't tow big things!
That seam between the bed and rear door serves another purpose. Divides that huge section of steel to make replacement if damaged much less expensive. The bed is so easy to reach over to stash items in the bed compared to the giant 1/2 ton trucks on the market today. The under floor storage in the bed is something not available on any other truck.
I would have gone with aftermarket all weather mats that cover the driver's side dead pedal. I've found the steering wheel volume control easy to use and I don't have to take my eyes off the road to adjust radio volume.
That's a sweet truck brother. The Ridgeline is probably going to be my next new vehicle in a year or two. That engine isn't even close to being broken in, I'd wait until you've got at least 5k miles before I'd start taking the mileage seriously (unless it's way off).
Good choice. It’s a great vehicle. Total upgrade.
nice ! i would love if you did updates on your car after having it for a little while .
The shelf at 26:19 is designed for CD player, if you don’t need a CD player, you can just use the shelf for whatever stuff that you can put inside, for those who do want a CD player, you can have your dealership install a CD player right in that spot for you.(It’s a dealer install accessory)
My dealer wants $473 installed!! I miss my 500 CDs
Love this truck mike, but there are a couple things that make me not want to pull the trigger when my current lease is up.
1. the lack of the volume knob
2. The push button gear box
3. I wish they would refresh the front end to make it different from the pilot.
All these are probably minor complaints to what I think is the best mid size truck out there.
Same thing I would like to see as well as a bit more ground clearance. Been driving large trucks for decades. Don't hall enough to justify a full size truck anymore. A few trips to home improvement stores and to get fuel for the mowers. Looking favorably at one of these next time - 2022 model??
nazud68 we’ll see need a redesign soon
@@nazud6885 The ground clearance issue would require Honda to change some geometry. That's not gonna happen. This is literally a modefied Pilot. Honda limits their options to increase profit margins.
Watch and check out new video's on the new 2021 Honda Ridgeline....added Volume knob, and refreshed the front end, more square, but still has the push button gear box.
Why is a push button gearbox an issue? Most of us have had push button start for years. What's the difference?
Great info!
Congrats!
Congratulations on a great choice... design for, engineered and built for North America and Canada by north Americans and Canadians.
Smart move Mike. That's a great truck.
you made the right choice, enjoy!
Can you tell me how I can turn on the top rap around LED DRL's ,can't turn mine on.
Key fob has metal pullout key. I have 2018 RTL and swapped out most bulbs for LEDs. Also put in CD player and auto dimming mirror
Awh congrats on a new toy Mike!
I want one in addition to my Ram 1500. I commute and the Ram is very impractical. No sedan for me
I have the same RTL but 2019 with 6 speed and no start/stop in FWD as I do not tow anything and live in Florence. So basically no snow to deal with and just an hour to Myrtle Beach. I get 26-28mpg on purely highway drive at 70mph. 23-24mpg city drive. It is a great comfortable vehicle on long drives to Florida and back. Coming from honda odyssey this is comparable ride quality. My backseat passenger has ample leg room not cramped on a long trip. Overall Im glad I bought the ridgeline FWD so I do not have to change rear differential fluid and transfer case fluid. Saved me some money there. I just have to do regular oil change and drive around enjoying the NART (Not A Real Truck). LoL.
I was guessing Highlander, so I guessed way off.
Looks nice.
Hope you enjoy it for a long time.
I just bought a 2020 sport awd, can u share the website where u bought the Matt’s thanks
I too got a RTL but missed some of the features off my Acura RDX 2.3 turbo tech pkg. I miss my CD player n my surround sound system and so other creature comforts
Good choice!!! Honda is very good
Wow impressive, thought it would be some kinda suv
I like your choice!
I almost bought one of these, but I went with a 2020 ford escape titanium in silver. I was looking at the escapes for a long time before purchasing one. I like the escape it's so nice inside. I still like these though maybe when the new 2024s start becoming used cars I'll get one next !
Nice Truck
Cool!!!!!! 😎🚘
I got a smaller phone cord or coiled up my cell phone cord so that it wouldn't be messy when it's plugged in.
Like your pick
Hi is very nice truck Gorgeou 👍🏻
By the way thanks for the underbody flyover at the beginning...that's pure car porn to OCD nerds like me. I put it on 0.25 playback speed, mute the sound, and geek out. 😂
Nice looking inside and out ! I see very few in my daily travels, I'm guessing the high price is a big factor. The rear seat leg room looked super tight in the video.
Nice good move. But for a special occasion like this, you should’ve busted out the blue hand pointer.👌🏽😂😂
,how much did you pay for that ridgeline mat for the trunk?
This is amazing - I actually picked the Grand Cherokee - but wish I could have taken the Honda
I know the centered camera is always a point you bring up but on new cars is it really an issue? Can they not use software to move the centerline so it isn't really off-center on the screen?
I suppose that is possible but it is also possible to put the camera in the center of the vehicle. Looks better when it is symmetrical anyway. FCA has no problem doing that on all their vehicles.
Nice 🔥🔥🔥🔥💣💣💣
Smart choice my man. Welcome to Honda nation.
Thank you 🙌
@@MikesCarInfo I have a 2018 Still runs like a dream at 161000kms. Friday getting my timing belt, vales, water pump done.
I came from camry to a Ridgeline and not looking back. Brother in law got a tundra but should of got a Ridgeline, he doesnt do construction"
Congratulations!! Don't like your choice. But, i can see why you picked it.
One more thing Mike just thought of this. You might get better gas mileage if you put a tonneau cover on the bed.
That hole you said your phone didn’t fit in is actually meant for an optional CD player. But who uses CD’s in 2020.
I had a 2019, it had a CD player, we used it one time...1 CD....in 2021 they removed it....I kinda miss it although, like you say, "who uses CD's in 2020?" well my wife still does...so if its an Option, I wonder if there is a PART number for it and how to install it...
@@MiCoopRS Sorry to edit i had to repost it. Unfortunately in the 2021 there is no way to add the factory cd unit. The Honda’s run an android based system also so something like this(www.amazon.com/Automotive-Integrated-Electronics-connection-USBCDPLAY2/dp/B07DJ2FBJY/ref=asc_df_B07DJ2FBJY/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312140517066&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17083103114984674373&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9010769&hvtargid=pla-668798967248&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=62501500059&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312140517066&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17083103114984674373&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9010769&hvtargid=pla-668798967248) might work.But the cheapest thing might be to go to goodwill or a thrift store and get an old Sony diskman or any other external CD player and plug it into the aux if you have one and the 12 volt socket. Heck Walmart sells one brand new that is usb powered or battery powered still in the onn brand. (www.walmart.com/ip/onn-Personal-CD-Player-with-FM-Radio/208875651 ) This one on Amazon has Bluetooth ( www.amazon.com/Portable-Bluetooth-Rechargeable-Anti-Shock-Protection/dp/B07XY9GX3W/ref=asc_df_B07XY9GX3W/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=344041848206&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16699592613885192460&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9010769&hvtargid=pla-854301065748&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=69534739416&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=344041848206&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16699592613885192460&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9010769&hvtargid=pla-854301065748 )
Have u done a telluride? Can’t seem to find it.
I don't have access to one. Maybe one day 😀
You have to remember this is essentially an EX-L trim on any other Honda, based on a platform that debuted in 2016 when LED lights were much more uncommon.
A wild guess, a RAV4 prime.
nice!
Enjoy the new ride! Mike, I was looking through your old videos looking for a review of the Audi A4 Allroad, didn’t see any on your feed. Can you do one please? 🙏
After all these years I was never able to get access to Audi vehicles.
MikesCarInfo what?! Who do we need to call? ! I hope you can soon 😕
Question: can you fit a full size tire in the spare tire bay?
I don't think so. There is very little extra room in there.
@@MikesCarInfo that’s too bad, because if your towing you can't use the donut spare. Plus thanks for answering - I've been trying to fine out for a long time!
I believe I would take the tire out when hauling, if I was worried, and put it behind my seat! Plenty of room for two or more tires there!
@@hans-jurgenwiegand7465 - if you’re towing - and get a flat - you can’t use a donut tire - so you’ll need to carry a full size spare - and sadly it will not fit in the spot where the donut tire is presently (or so I’m told) - to me a design fault (just a minor one).
Congrats! Why did you sell the Challenger? You said they’re your favourite cars of all time ?
My needs changed. I still like the Challenger but I need something more than a passenger vehicle at this time.
Everyone say it’s gay but it has a good ride and it’s practical
“Not trying to say anything negative “? Pretty much everything you said was negative. Lol. Very thorough review though. I miss my challenger too. Obvious that you don’t like this vehicle.
I Love The Ridgeline Nice Car
Hello To Your New Honda Ridgeline.
one of my major complaints is when you park and shut it off, the radio instantly shuts off. I like being able to finish listening to what i was listening too with the engine off, and having the radio go off when i open the door.
Agree 100%
A face only a mother can love but I love this truck. The Swiss Army knife of vehicles. It’s like a stay at home dad. Won’t get you to soccer practice on time but can open a jar of jam by himself
Are your electronic "features" as crappy as mine? I have a 2020 Ridgeline as well. Snatchy throttle, weird delay in the cruise control, wallowing LKAS, and on and on. Of course, the dealer says "the truck functions as intended." Shame.
Yes. If this vehicle wasn't so unique and useful for my specific needs I would get something different. It is like they are trying to intentionally annoy the user with inconsistent refinement and lack of BASIC features.
If you like the ridgeline check out my channel! My modified 2019 Honda Ridgeline sport!
Damn i was wrong, it's not a vespa.
Congratulations Japan Good Car
It’s made In US more so than a Ford 150, Ram 150, GMC only a Ford Ranger is another 70% made in US
This really isn't a truck, by strict definition. It's a Pilot with a bed and one less seat. 😂
It ain’t your truck, yet, but maybe, if you keep on looking, and save your money 💰!
Modern Day 'El Camino
Noooooo I was hoping for a Ford lol 😂
Still happy for you
Never see honda truck or pickup or ute
First
Yay, 7 years of car payments. Genius.
bikephil hater
@@miguelircontar not hater, laughing at moronic financial decisions
I don't know about you, but I can't speak intelligently on Mike's financial situation. Maybe he paid cash or had a hefty down payment so he only has to make payments for 2 or 3 years...
@@michaelcline8835 I highly doubt that.
I just went to my bank and got a cashiers check, then done! Don’t drink or smoke, save my money, and don’t trade wives!
Meh
Much of the review good..but he really got stuck on a few things...the keys ..too heavy he feels ..i am a woman and honestly just fine..he just went on and on ..enough...also the trim level stuff and not being able to individually pick..i get it but again say it ...move on...so move on ..present your thoughts but stop obsessing on things..
Thank you for your feedback 😊
