Thank You again to Honda and the staff in San Antonio Texas for all your help and for providing me access to the new Ridgeline - Auta a dopravní prostředky
You know, I was on the fence about the Ridgeline. After your review, I grew a soft spot for the Ridgeline.
95% of all Truck owners just need a Honda.. f150 owner and this Honda Ridgeline is my next truck.. good job Honda
Great review and info. I was on the fence with this truck having owned a Tacoma and a Frontier. The Ridgline will meet my needs perfectly as a hunter, homeowner, and regular ol’ working dad. I just traded in my 2012 Frontier for a 2019 Ridgline Black Edition and I couldn’t be happier. These things are amazing. I used to be in the “this is not a real truck” crowd... not any more.
Please my Honda Ridgeline 2006 navigation Screen is totally blank, how can I make it work, any suggestions
Although this review is 3+ years old, Jason did a great job featuring the great utility and featuers of the 2017 Ridgeline. I owned a 2006 for 6 years (loved it) and then waited for the new body style to buy my second (2017 Ridgeline Black Edition). Folks that need the utility of a truck that can fit in a normal garage, the Ridgeline is to you. Honda quality, great ride and great features.
I think you did a better presentation then TFL Truck on this Honda. Good job
Agreed
Yeah no kidding, seriously a huge waste of time even bothering watching the tfl truck video especially because Roman was in charge.
+You Tube - would you say that the base model GM twins are trucks? They carry less payload and tow less, but nobody says that they aren't "trucks". Or maybe the F150 isn't a truck because it is made of aluminum instead of steel. If this isn't a truck, what are its nearest competitors?
Anyone can do better than TFL, those guys are L-A-M-E. Good job, HPJ!! I actually like the fact that you are so Honda-biased. My first car was a used 1978 Accord 3-door hatch with HondaMatic tranny!! (I bought it in 1982 after I got out of Army Basic Training!!) I've also owned a '76 3-door Civic manual; a '96 Civic EX Sedan 5 speed manual; a '01 CR-V EX; a 2002 Civic EX (the worst Civic EVER!!); and currently have an '06 Pilot EX. Great company that has had a few hiccups, but I think that they are back on track.
Roman says, Prey tell what new technology do you mean? Stability control? Independent Suspension? Navigation? Direct Injection? Perhaps a power sliding rear window? GM, Toyota, Ford, Ram, Nissan been there done that. What about cylinder deactivation? Diesel Engines? Air Suspension? Factory Trailer Brake Controller? Back up Trailer Assist? Turbo Charging? Off-Road PKGs with underbody protection? Aluminum Body Construction? This is the "new technology" that the competitors bring to the market. Perhaps this is why they outsell the Ridgeline 100 to 1. And Roman adds...."Oh Yeah and Get off my lawn" ;-)
After my uncle got a 2016 TRD sport Tacoma, It was nice but after watching this video, this truck is way better. Great video as always!
the most thorough review yet. The beefed up suspension is a big plus. Hope someone comes out with a 1' or 2" lift kit for it. Wish they had an AC outlet in the cab, but other than that, really cool stuff.
The presentation of the engineering details are greatly appreciated Jason. Keep up the good work!
Finally I find a review that shows things I care about! Great video! :)
I bought a new 19. After 15k of fun trips, I learned a few more things. Thanks !
Jam packed with accessories that many families want and will use. Great review as usual Jason - so comprehensive. Nice hat pardner!
Awesome video as usual Jason! I am a really big fan of the new Ridgeline.
I was never a big fan of the Ridgeline, but the 2017 is epic! I'm sold....
Great video. I haven't been truly excited about a new truck in ages -- this one really strikes all the right cords. Had no idea about that tent accessory option, but I'd actually make use of that.
Excellent in highlighting the different enhancements made between the Ridgeline and Pilot as no other reviews are mentioning that in detail. Demonstrates the level of detail Honda made to make this truck perform successfully. Look forward to future posts with this type of information.
Very thorough and informative review. This will be the future of trucks - unibody, superb handling, fuel efficient, no compromise on ruggedness.
Awesome, Can`t wait to get me one. Thank you Jason.
Exceptional truck beyond satisfied with my black edition thanks !! You covered so much and in detail like a boss !!! Good job Jason
Ivy Zilla same, the black edition is so nice 👌
Awesome video. Was able to successfully install mine today in about 30 minutes thanks to you!
so much fun filming this Ridgeline video
Thanks Jason! Finally got to see more details!
I think I watch 20 videos about the 2017 ridgeline. Jason is the best videos of all current videos in you tube. please do one at night to see how the interior lights look.
Best review on the ridgeline ever!
Took an extensive test drive in one.Awesome.It’s all the truck most people will ever need.
just bought a 2017 thanks for the review brother ....good job!!!
I love you Jason, i hope you buy one of these, it looks like it would work great with a family
Awesome look at the Ridgeline. Been seeing all the first drive reviews! This truck is growing on me and I'm starting to love it and it makes complete sense how they made it and how it's 50% it's own. Definitely a truck I would use for personal..now Honda just needs to keep going to have a half ton I can use for Business so I can be all Honda! :) great as alaways HPJ
So much great information that I couldn't get anywhere else!
Great video Jason. Best one I've seen for the Ridgeline. Awesome job. I'll be saving up to upgrade from my 2001 Tundra.
Well done, in-depth review. Thank you!!
Waiting patiently for the 2021’s!
Jason you rocked this video! I am not a truck person at all, but after seeing this truck at my local Honda dealership and hearing about the features I am seriously considering getting one for Xmas. Wish the sales people at the dealerships were as knowledgeable as you are. They know nothing about the features on the vehicles. Looking forward to your review on the 2018 Redesigned Honda Accord.
really enjoyed your review- just bought an RTL-E 2 days ago and was looking for tips and tricks on the truck and came across you video- lots of good information! For all the haters out there- this truck is just perfect for us. We live in the city, but do lots of home gardening and woodworking projects and this truck is perfect. In addition its comfortable to drive, super easy to park (used to have a Ford 150 with 6 foot bed...ugh to park), and super easy to do everyday things like get groceries and use the in bed trunk (again, ugh to put groceries in the back seat or bed of the 150). if I needed to haul a "horse trailer", I wouldn't buy this, so stop saying what it can't do. Its like saying don't get a speed boat because you can't haul shipping crates from China on it. It does what it is designed to do.
Excellent review!! The best one so far. Keep up the good work.
beautiful truck. best looking in its class. not like a body builder but fit like an athlete. thanks jason.thanks honda
Just got my new Ridgeline rtl-t a week ago and so far it's great!!! Here in a week I get the tonneau cover from Honda put in.
I was lucky to film this awesome vehicle recently and I really liked it… I might even replace my RSX with it! :)
Go for it, Mike! :)
Great video! Super informative.
Always like HPJ videos. Very informative!
Dude, seriously great video. Best review yet.
After watched your video.
I'm on the market!
great presentation on the 2017 ridgeline looking forward to purchasing one asap
For someone who never considered a pickup, but always had to go down a list of friends with a pickup when needed, this is perfect for my family! I checked the dealers here in Tampa none on the lot!
they are not out yet
Michael Treanor heard June they ought to be showing up on the lot. I'm looking 😊
That will be nice.
Thank you Jason for giving us all the initial information and more information as the model lines made it to 2024
glad you enjoyed it
I like the advantage of having a truck bed, but prefer the driving dynamics of an suv. This seems like the compromise we need... Decent fuel mileage, nice ride, love the hidden trunk in the bed... Often when we are out and about we make several stops, being able to put bags of chicken feed, in the trunk, then run to the grocery store, without moving things from the bed to the inside to keep from someone stealing things is great
When Craig from Honda R&D showed up in the video, I wanted to see HIM sitting in the driving and back passenger position!
Hey Jason I just saw you over at The Fast Lane Truck reviewing the new Ridgeline. Don't worry I'll watch all this episode too ✌
Jason thanks you so much for this awesome comprehensive video. I want to ask you if you feel that I should buy a new 2019 or maybe get a Ridgeline that is 2018 or even 2017? I want one of these but I don't know if they made any improvements that are notable. Thanks and keep up the great videos.
I think this is better titled a first look than a review but still a great video!
great information. this will more than likely be my next vehicle.
HPJ Thanks for this really complete tour and info on the Ridgeline!! Honda SHOULD hire you as part of HondaNA Marketing. Great review for all of us that could not be there.
2 questions:
Did any of the Honda reps say when the Ridgeline will be available / for sale??
What trim line includes the power sources in the truck bed (the in-sidewall place you had the drill battery charging) ?
Also - thanks for the EXCELLENT summary of the trim levels with pricing and major options present. Great!
Best review of the #Ridgeline, stoked, this will be my next truck!
Nice, All American Rejects - Swing Swing haha. Old school. Nice video man, appreciate the small tips n tricks the Ridgeline has.
This was a really great, in depth look at this new Ridgeline. I like it and I am thinking about buying one. This really helped a lot.
Hey Jason would love to see a factory tour of the Ridgeline being made. Great job on this. This is such a cool truck, very user friendly. Also, Jason when you are talking to Honda R&D can you ask them why they won't offer and all wheel drive Civic sedan and Accord sedan. I know they had the Crosstour, but I think the new Accord sedan would be great with All Wheel Drive. Thanks.
Best video I’ve seen so far 👌
Thank You so much
Thanks Honda pro Jason, can you show a video on how to remove chrome piece in grille to paint or wrap? Also, the the two in rear bumper too?
la mejor reseña que he visto, muy completa cuidando muchos detalles. te felicito Honda Pro Jason.
con orgullo te digo que tengo una honda ridgeline rtl 2007 y sigue andando como nueva. soy fiel honda y la prefiero siempre!
saludos desde México
Thanks for getting Craig's review. I feel better about buying my 2019 Ridgeline.
Ron Dail it’s a nice van. Nothing wrong with vans.
Awesome review on the car! Do an acceleration test in the future!
Thanks for the side-mirror demo. I wasn't sure if the side-mirrors folded.
Good video, it really explained a lot about the truck. I'm liking the Ridgeline, but really wanting the Civic Hatchback Si or Type-R!
I love my brand new 2017 Ridgeline. I wish they would have talked more about any changes to components in the drivetrain and powertrain. I'm interested to know what was beefed up for the extra durability required to handle the claims mentioned.
This truck is f*cking AWESOME!!!
It's not a truck. It sits on a car chassis. It's a car with a bed.
Best review yet!!
Looks better than the old one!
I kinda love it black on black wheels
Hey Jason, love this truck. I'm curious about the fwd model because they come with a snow mode button? By engaging snow mode on the fwd does that mean one is sending power to both front wheels if needed???
I can’t wait to get one!!!
was happy to see the beefier suspension, bearings, shocks, knuckle...etc!.. to quote HPJ.. AWESOME!... anyway to aux a Cd player into it ?
Like the video. Now I'm gonna get a ridgeline.
I’m almost positive this will be my next truck my old c1500 doesn’t even get used to it’s full extent and this would work just fine.
This is definitely the nicest looking van on sale now.
Jason, which model exactly is that in your first shot? Is that the black edition, or a RTL-E with accessories?
wow nice truck man really good..
I love how different Honda is.
The Ridgeline is beautifully engineered. However, it is not different. It was a result of limited resources that gave birth to a Pilot/Odyessey based truck. Beautiful Truck, very great to own, but not different. Toyota can do the same thing doing a Highlander based Truck. However, Toyota does height the Engineering and the resources to do two different version of their midsize truck for different parts of the world. I consider the Ridgeline a beautifully built Pilot with a bed, with reinforcements needed to have a trouble free long life. Great job by Honda, but made this way because of their limited resources.
Great review Jason. I have noticed that everytime Honda puts a motorcycle on the bed it is a dirt bike, can the tail gate safely hold the weight of a super sport like that of the CBR1000RR ? almost 500 lbs?
and speciall the way that you represent the Ridgeline
I love the small wheel wells I would buy one of these
Love it, gonna get me one soon
Does it have extra batteries for the trunk uses? How long will the battery last before it gives you the warning?
this truck is going to slay well played honda
Jason, why don't the rear doors on the truck open a bit more to allow easier loading of bulkier items? Is it because there is a truck bed if need be?
does the gate lock with all the power door locks, and does the hard tonneau cover lock preventing anyone from taking anything from your bed
@hondapro Jason my question is what's the most mileage you seen on an original motor and transmission Honda just wondering where my 94 civic ex stands
Honda needs to hire Jason forsure.
GREAT VIDEO.
+GEORGE CASTILLO thank you so much
***** what is the date?
Look better than the old one
Jason,
What's the difference with the ecu controlled transmission?
Will get a Gen 2 RL for sure. Are those Honda wheels? Love em!
I have a 2006 Ridgeline I planned on driving forever, but I want a 2017 after watching this. I didn't care for them initially.
I would like to know more about the suspension lay out ,is caster and camber adjustable at all or is it like the double wish bone independent suspension where only toe is adjustable ? I can see this thing needing a 4 wheel alignment every time you take it out on a trail,in all fairness their test course could be done by anyone in a passenger car ,any 4x4 truck you buy is going to perform mediocre at best off road it doesn't matter how many inches you lift it you'll still get shamed by anyone with a bone stock wrangler trying to make a truck that does everything only makes a truck that can't do anything well,I'm currently in the market for a 4x4 midsized truck and haven't found one worth buying yet ,I'm beginning to think the best option is just to buy a jeep and a small utility trailer for when I have to do "truck stuff" .
I really like this truck
+Lenny Padilla Yes, 08:20 I don't know what edition that's. But really nice looking.
+HERI HAO Black Edition?
+TheEchoingCalm I googled, it's black edtion. Thanks.
I really like the new ridgeline
great review. thank you
Great video, any news on the new civics SI/ type r
You forgot to mention the door cup holders in the back double as water bowls for the dogs riding along with! Ridgelines are the best. I've looked at everything on the market. Bar none the best!
Good looking truck!
Great video on the new RidgeLine....I noticed there is no knob on the radio. When will they add a tuning knob as that is a small knock against Honda.
Great Vid!, why would they mod, the load box desing? I still think that previous years design was gorgeous.
insanely good
Hey +HondaPro Jason what can you tell me about tailgate weight capacity? With only a single cable on the left side I'm concerned about loading heavy ATV and bending tailgate on the right side due to lack of a right side cable
Any way to get it a couple more inches higher? I love this thing, but even Subaru has 8.7" of ground clearance. For mild off road and camping 9 or 10 inches would be very nice! Thanks for the review, very well done and I would say better than the others.
