    I’m 69 and I’ve owned trucks over every kind since I was 16. You could say I’m a truck guy. There was a time I might have agreed with the nay sayers. Not anymore. Aside from the work trucks I’ve owned, there are few times that a Ridgeline wouldn’t be big enough. I’d say that most truck owners never use a truck for what it’s built for. I’m seriously looking to sell my F250 to get a Ridgeline. Thanks for your video

    I'm considering getting one of these, most likely used. However, in my research, I've found out about an issue that seems to affect around 75% of Ridgelines. Water entering the cabin through the back wall and/or above the rear window. I'm assuming you haven't had this issue? They say that at the factory, it's believed air got in the lines of the seam sealing robots. Worth mentioning, you can feel the wet carpet in the back seats; you have to pull up the sill plate and reach your hand under the carpet.

      Sorry to hear that. The Ridgeline is quite refined and the ZF 9 speed Transmission is seamless.

Look for an RTL or RTLE not the base RT and don't waste your money on the HPD or Black package. Best of luck to you.

    I drove 1/2 ton, full size trucks for years. Having that experience, I've found the Ridgeline to be everything those trucks were and more. It's easy to get in and out of, drives like butter and is the most comfortble truck I've owned. I think the aesthetics could be improved, but I'm past the point of needing the coolest truck on the road. Pound for pound, it's the best truck I've owned.

It's then that you have problems. I'll be doing a video on this soon. Headlights were just a tad too high (in a good way) but I never adjusted them

    Hey guy. Excellent to know just hit engine stop and it goes to Park. Thanks !! And no torque steer, good. I got the 2024 Black Edition, before they maybe go to some vertical computer screen sticking up with electronic “virtual” buttons buried in the screen. Adaptive cruise, I’ll miss Subaru Eyesight trailing cars down to zero mph, I hear Honda kicks out at 25 mph. Maybe look at the Honda parts for color keyed, a bit 3 dimensional, body side moldings. Some protection from dingers and I like the looks. That and 3M stick on clear nose bra really protects hood from paint chips. Thanks for your honest info.

    Thanks for your input ! For months I was all in on new Frontier, very quiet inside, that was nice surprise. Liked the trucky look. But winter snow and ice, going back to part time 4x4 kept gnawing at my brain. Rear end slip-sliding around, having to flick 4x4 knob on and off. For in town gray geezer not wishing to pull anything, mostly just haul an e-bike that weighs about 80 lbs with gear, the Frontier was overkill and larger turning radius, less power to the steering, not exactly optimal. In a matter of just two weeks, once I determined enough front legroom in Ridgeline, I totally switched to Ridgeline Black Edition fully loaded, is time for some coddling comfort on the roads of life. Good stereo, no fumbling with keys, cooled ventilated seats, heated steering wheel I’ve found I love when driving wife’s car. For myself, mostly FWD bias and heavy motor over those wheels, and a fully automatic solid kick in of the rear, is a good thing on snow and ice. Ridgeline sits at a really nice height, do not need a step ladder to get in. I look forward to rolling quite smoothly and with quiet roomy cabin on down the highways of life. Ridgeline looks to hit an overall sweet spot.
