I am so tired of the off road capability. The Ridgeline can do most normal off road excursions. Its not a rock climber but seriously that functionality is hardly used. The on road capability and ride needs to get more emphasis. 5000lbs towing is more then adequate. If you tow more than that you should get a larger truck in the first place.
Great points! Thank you for sharing.
The Tacoma is a truck, it's built tougher, it has more capability off-road. It rides rough, bumb steer, noisy. Ridgeline rides very good, but it's a bit less rugged. It has a nice, quiet ride, with a refined interior. I have a brand new Tacoma, and I'm thinking about trying a Ridgeline.
Is just tougher and tougher to get on these Taco/Ridgeline comparos and NOT find that overwhelmingly, people prefer Ridgeline..
If only it didnt look so ugly
We bought 2 honda ridgelines The wife and I are so happy with the vehicle great ride and fun to drive. I highly recommend it
Thank you for sharing!
I was looking for a new replacement for my Ram 1500 Longhorn that I sold last October when a work project ended and I no longer needed the truck. It had a RamBox, leather interior, and every time I got into it I said to myself "Damn, this is a nice truck!". That's the feeling you want to have if you are investing thousands of dollars into a daily driver. So i went on a research binge. I've been in Ag for 30 years so I've driven them all. At the outset, I was biased towards the Tundra. Tough, capable, durable, and great resale value over time. But with fuel costs rapidly increasing I had to be honest with myself about just how much truck I really needed. The toughest off-road use I would put a truck through is driving on short-grass prairie through some coulees while gopher hunting. I've handled that in the past with a CR-V. Mostly I wanted something comfortable for me (6'4"/285) with great utility and durability. Economy was starting to rate higher in the mix as well as the ability to haul a small trailer with a couple of motorcycles and gear. Having driven the Frontier and Tacoma, I was almost convinced at that point that full size was the only way to go. They were just too tight and not comfortable at all. Then I drove the Ridgeline. Damn, I never knew it could be like this! The cabin is spacious enough for me and my son (a bear if there ever was one) to sit with plenty of airspace between us and still have legroom in the back. The utility spoke volumes about the design and that someone in Japan had really put a lot of thought into this truck and how it would be used. I can lay 4x8 sheets of drywall and plywood flat in the bed, which you cannot do in any other mid size. And the in-bed trunk...well so long RamBox! All this and I didn't need to feed a thirsty 5.7L engine to get it. Sold! Ordered a 2022 Black Edition that arrives at the end of this month. My son was so impressed that he went and found a 2020 Black Edition and traded away his Civic Hatch Sport for it. Now we'll have two Ridgelines in the family. Sorry Toyota - we have a Rav4 hybrid and love it, but the Ridgeline has it all over the Taco in the things I really need out of a truck.
Thank you for sharing!
thanks i’m in the same boat you were same size guy roughy. i will check it out !!!
thanks again
I just bought a 2022 Ridgeline and I'm soo happy I work in construction and I Hite have tools inside, and Ridgeline give me All I need and also I can carry all my every day tools
The ridgeline was designed by an America and is built in the usa and canada
You mentioned the in-bed power outlet for the Tacoma but did not mention that the Ridgeline also has an in-bed power outlet, in-bed lighting, in-bed speakers and that the space between the wheel wells on a Ridgeline will allow for a 4'x8' sheet of plywood to lie flat but the space between the wheel wells on the Tacoma will not. It seems like the main focus of this video was to compare the off road capabilities and ride quality of the two trucks. Obviously both are great choices and are well received by consumers and the choice for most people comes down to what they intend to use their trucks for the most.
when they move down town off road I’ll take the Tacoma until then I’ll choose the Honda
I’m won’t say Tacomas are bad. It’s just that when I got my RTL 2021 I barely drive my Tacoma 2017 , and I’m thinking I’ll will let it go My RLT HPD. IT IS GREAT!!!
Toyota Tacoma is the best built longest lasting truck in the world.
Thank you for the video. I owned a Toyota Tundra and rarely pulled anything that warranted that large of a vehicle. I sold the Tundra and bought a 2023 Honda Ridgeline. I wish I would have done this much sooner. The Ridgeline is so capable with incredible ride comfort. Perfect for just about anything needed. I build many things, haul a lot of wood, trash and pull my Kubota L2501 on a dual axle trailer. The Ridgeline performs great!
Thanks for sharing! Glad the Ridgeline is working so well for you.
Both are great trucks. In my research, the “real world” payload of the Ridgeline is better than most Tacomas. We don’t need off-road capability, but the AWD of the Ridgeline is more than enough for our camping trips and exploration of dirt forest service roads. We do tow a 2,900 lb Casita and would like more tow capability than 5,000 lbs, but the Ridgeline is still more than capable of towing our Casita. If I were buying today, I would choose the Ridgeline, but that new Taco will be coming out soon, so we shall see!
I tried both; Tacoma is a nice truck with a lot of capabilities I didn't need; I know some guy who has owned one for 3 years, I asked him if he ever needed the rear locker or low range, and he said, no. I tried to find where I can go off-roading near me, and it is nearly impossible to find a place unless you have some friends or join some forum/club that organizes activities from time to time. In general, you need to work really hard to use the Tacoma capabilities if you live in the city. I test drove multiple trucks, including Tacoma, which has an awful sitting position, mpg, and handling, after that I tested Ridgeline; it wasn't even new because the dealer didn't have one in stock; I ordered one immediately; it just better in every aspect, mpg, heated steering wheel, acceleration, payload, storage, room, handling, comfort... I wanted Tacoma but couldn't find a single reason to buy one when Ridgeline is available.
There is one downside, though, there is a timing belt instead of a chain, which I thought is not something that any manufacturer will use in 2022; I hate the fact that I need to replace it and am concerned that it can cause permanent damage to the engine. But this is the tradeoff I can live with.
Thank you for sharing!
I have seen people replacing their timing belt at 150k miles and water pump without having issues.
Not all Small Truck Owners want off road capabilities, I lowered my Ridgeline, put some 20's on it with Michelin Pilot skins. A rear sway bar upgrade also helped. I now look for BMW's on the onramps
I want to get a 2nd gen Ridgeline and do the same. Those VTEC engines were engineered for that very reason.
got my 22 ridgeline RTL-E six months ago....ride quality is amazing... like it much more than my 15' Yukon Denali!! What does that tell you!!
Hi just wondering what do you paid for your otd price? I’m planning to buy one soon.
I’ve had 3 tacos and just traded in my 2017 tundra trd crewmax offroad. I haul dirt bikes only and not only was the v8tundra overkill, the mpg and ride quality of both tacomas and tundras was horrific. I traded my tundra in for a 2022 Honda Ridgeline black edition. By far the best truck I have ever owned. The vtec alone out performs the dated taco v6 and the torquey but slow tundra. As already mentioned the ride quality is 10/10 comfort. Most people who own Tacomas and tundras never tow or Offroad, or get them dirty for that matter lol, myself included. It hauls 2 bikes comfortably and tows a 4 bike trailer+ gear and It performs flawless and can’t tell I’m even towing. If you need to tow more than 5k you shouldn’t be looking midsized truck in the first place lol. My mpg on the RL is around 22/27city. I never got above 16mpg with either taco or tundra. I do live at 5280ft so that hurts fuel economy
I’m only getting 16 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway 400 miles travel
2022 Ridgeline Sport
You probably get magic gas ⛽️
@@reyperez3424 I use premium so maybe that’s it. My average mpg on the display reads 25.2. I also don’t floor it at every light. Not sure why your mpg is so low. All I know is I’m getting 2x the mpg I was getting on the tundra.
@@reyperez3424 I’m happy to send a pic of my mpg.
@@reyperez3424 one thing I’ve done that may have helped with my mpg is upgrading the air filter. The stock is garbage and restrictive. I threw in a k&n air filter and it woke this truck up. Give it a shot.
@@DasChristoff This comment has inspired me to order the same filter and see if I can bump up my MPGs on my 2021 Ridgeline. I'm getting about 17/18 city and 21/22 highway currently (living around 1200ft elevation)
Ridgeline for the win. (Don't believe me, pick up a copy of the 2022 Consumer Reports. The Ridgeline DOMINATES the mid-size truck category). I really really wanted a Tacoma, as I've never not owned a manual trasmission. However, I sat in a Tacoma. My god it's got terrible erognomics. You sit flat on the floor, with your legs sticking straight out. It was uncomfortable just sitting in it on the lot. AND the visibility looking out is also horrid, as the hood is so damm high. No way I'd want to take a tacoma on a road trip. The Ridgeline however, magically confortable. I bought one. My first 6 hour road trip, I did not adjust my sitting position once - it's just that comforatable. Oh, and having no wheel well arches in the bed is magic for cramming stuff into the bed.
Taco if you want off road capabilities, ridgeline if the majority of your time is on road. I love Toyota, but for comfort i pick the honda
I’m doing research on which truck my dad/our family should get. Great Video!
Good luck!
@@FindTheBestCarPrice thanks brother
unless you live in the jungle or the boonies (sticks), the ridgeline is what you want. More comfortable ride, quieter, more spacious, better on gas, nicer interior, etc etc. The only reason for the taco is the extra towing or if you're really dealing with rough terrain. Most people able to afford either will spend 99.99% of the time on pavement. And lets be honest, when u do go off the tarmac, the ridgeline is more than capable for all but the most demanding of terrain. Are you really crawling rocks to get to a job site?
Hahah good review. For me personally I’d never be where that Tacoma was driving in the commercial. Looked like it was mountain climbing in Arizona
Honda ridgeline is a city boys truck.
Traded in my Taco for a Ridgeline. Ridgeline surprisingly outperforms by far!! I wonder where all this hate is originating from.
I have owned both as well. First the 2017 honda ridgelines which I loved but the amount of headaches between transmission overheating issues, torque converter issues, vcm malfunctioning so eventually installed a muzzler to disable, constantly dealing with rock chips in the acoustic windshield, horribly thin paint job, also the leather seats tear way to easily as well, body paneling around the wheel wells also dent to easily you can't even lean on your truck lol, rear wiring harness fails from to much opening of tailgate, the wind noise during wind gusts was unreal and now I own a 2019 trd 4x4 Tacoma with nearly 50, 000 miles and my only issue is the rear camera isn't as nice as the Honda.
Thank you for sharing!
Just in is my 2022 Black Edition Ridgeline. This will be my 3rd Ridgeline. Can you tell I’m a fan! I had to order mine. Because the demand is so high! I’ve looked at both. The Tacoma’s interior seems to be lacking the luxury of a Ridgeline. The other things that weren’t stated that are on the Ridgeline. It has speakers in the bed. It can play your music outside of the truck. Also the rear window opens, memory seats and it’s way more spacious than the Tacoma. It fits 5 comfortably!
Thank you for sharing, Wendy!
I owned a 2020 Tacoma for just a couple months. For a person my size (6’1”) the entry, exit and riding position was terrible. The floor is high and the roof is low resulting in a compressed riding position with my legs out in front of me rather than down and forward. It was like riding on a milk crate and I couldn’t have a cap on without my head rubbing the roof. We previously owned a 2008 Tacoma and that generation had a better riding position. My 2022 Ridgeline may not be an off-road beast but it is a much better daily driver and has some features not available on any trim level Tacoma. For me it’s the Ridgeline.
Thank you for sharing, Glenn!
I am 6ft 1 and I love my Tacoma I hate the seat and yes I feel compressed is a great way to describe the feeling when siting in the driver seat . I drove a ridge line again today and it is a night an day difference between the two .. from room to the power and the seat ing position is great for me ..
I drove a Tacoma and a Ridgeline two months ago. The Ridgeline in my opinion had the better options and comfort.
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the review !
It was a difficult choice for me also the Tacoma was nice but the cab space just did not sold me so I went with the rtl e way more space for me and my family ..
We are glad our video was helpful. It sounds like you made the best choice for you and your family. Congratulations on your purchase!
@@FindTheBestCarPrice
Thank you I appreciate it ...
The Ridgeline easily. You don't go off roading everyday. 2017 owner. 163k, zero problems.
Nice! Thank you for sharing, Robert.
I prefer the Ridgeline because i do not do any off road.
2020 ridgeline re rides nicer than my 2021 accord touring
That is a great point, Andy!
I sold my Tacoma and purchased a Ridgeline. Unless you are going rock climbing my Ridgeline does just fine. Also, if your main priority it towing, neither of these vehicles are the best choice.
I think in the real world the Ridgeline makes more sense. How time do people actually use the capability of the Tacoma. Even here in Africa those abilities are rarely used because if the road is horrible your park your truck and walk instead of destroying it.
I prefer Tacoma because i like offroadin
These are less competitors than different products. The Ridgeline is an excellent vehicle, and probably the best choice for most "non-truck" people who need the functionality of a pickup occasionally, and it is better off-road than this review suggests. Despite the fact that everyone b**ches about the towing capacity, Honda says their research shows that over 90% of truck owners will never (as in, in their lives) tow more than the 5000# the Ridgeline can handle. However, if you want to do serious off-road work, or actually own a heavy camper or boat that needs serious towing capacity, the Tacoma is more your vehicle.
Thank you for sharing, James!
Ridgeline has significantly more backseat room for adults.
That is a great point!
Lol. 2:04. You said Tundra. 😆
You missed the absolute biggest con of the Ridgeline. It’s the timing belt based interference engine. Never buy a timing belt based interference engine.
If it has a bed it is a truck. El Camino, ranchero, brat, Baja were all trucks. Get over it.
Did you just say Tundra at 2:05
Ridgeline all day
I purchased a 2022 Tacoma SR5 specifically because I wanted the 4 cylinder. I don't climb hills, any towing will be under 1,500 lbs, and for the most part its just me and the wife. Short trips around town I'm getting 27mpg....on the interstate I'm getting over 30. I find the ride very smooth and the engine is peppy enough as long as you're not in 6th gear. My son had a Honda Fit and it was not a very good vehicle in many areas.
The ridgeline is good for on road use only.
@Michael Prince, you obviously haven't seen the vids that show the Ridgeline performing extremely well in most off road situations. True, it sucks at rock climbing, but beyond that, it runs just fine through most offroading. BTW, how many people purchase a truck that they actually use for offroading? The vast majority do not.
@@markej4801 if honda worked out the transmission overheating issues on mild trails then awesome.
@@michaelprince77, apparently they did. Perhaps it was due to the 6-speed transmission, because with the 9-speed, all seems to go well. 😁
Ridgeline is not really a truck!
But it is?
And a outback isn’t really a suv 🤷🏻♂️
NART!
You’re funny, you just wanted to poke us and see what type of responses you’d get. For me I had a 2017 Ram 4X4 and a 2020 Tacoma TRD Pro but I love me my 2022 Ridgeline. I don’t need a step ladder to get in and I drive by several gas stations I previously frequented. Thanks for your post.
First the Honda is a car with a box. Why compare. Those that buy one wouldn’t want the other.
This is a joke honda is not truck
Give me a definition of a "truck" that's is not based on your subjective pov.
