@@boratwilson9916 No, however I'd choose a Honda, Toyota, Nissan truck all day long before a GM. The last good Chevy truck I owned was a '72 C10. The '86 Suburban Silverado I had afterward was so-so. Late 80s was GMs decline.
As much as they're mocking the Ridgeline, this is actually showing how capable and well equipped this "Man-van" really is. Far more than any actual Honda ad probably has ever shown.
I mean any slightly taller AWD car such as Forester, all-road, and the like could do any of this. The ridge line is a 2in lifted accord with front bias AWD and a plastic bed.
Yeah I didn't see it hesitate at any point. Ridgeline has a very advanced 4wd system that can actually send all the power to a single wheel that has traction. It's even more advanced than what jeep has but don't say anything you'll make em mad. And make fun of the trunk if you want to, I appreciate lockable storage any way I can get it.
Had me rolling! I just had an old dude last week; that looks damn near exactly as the character you portrayed in the video; showing me all the features of his silver Ridgeline. The trunk thing is also a cooler with a drain, which I thought was pretty nifty.
This needs to be a gah-dang T-shirt, so fast, pocket T, heavy duty Fruit of thw loom, prefer black or darker stain hiding colors. Would totally make a cardboard template and half fast spray paint that on plain black shirt for the lulz anyways.

@@GingerBilly , you develop a pretty good sense of humor and a thick skin after driving one for 6 years! My license plate is “FAUXTRK” so I get to make the first jab.
The Ridgeline is an extremely versatile family car for those who have limited parking in the city. It has incredible traction and storage space and is remarkably comfortable inside. Its 5' bed with high gate and no wheel well bulges is surprisingly usable. That's all.
Truthfully, probably zero, as a vehicle is a device used to transport goods, materials, livestock, or persons over travel roads. Maybe those devices are used for that, but unlikely.
If you watch close you'll notice most of the vehicles are the SAME 1 Painted a different color and MODIFIED different! It's a FORD Festiva car he made a truck out OF . The Ron beer , the Far wagon , the ambulance whatever he called it ! Seen 1 of his Videos it was BLUE! Don't remember what it was supposed to be!
It's funny, every time 'real truck people' test the Ridgeline it turns out not to be as bad as expected at all. Still looks like an Igloo cooler though.
I want a Ridgeline way bad haha. I recognize I most of the time I don't need full truck abilities and am happy to have it drive like an SUV, and have a bed for occasional things. Most people don't actually need that giant lifted truck for hauling their groceries..
I agree, but if you live in a state that reams you for comercial plates like CA then you may want to go full sized. The nice surprise on the Ridgeline is you can lay plywood and drywall 4'x8' flat between the wheel wells like you would on a full size truck. The J series Honda V6 engine's are proven. Just change the timing belt every 100K and you'll be fine.
@@danp7463 interesting what do you mean about the commercial plates? Didn't know that about the plywood that's way nice. Oh and good reminder on the interference engine.
You would like it. I have a 2022 RTL-E HPD Ridgeline. I was looking at a suv but since I like to mountain bike with friends and don’t want to take multiple cars I can put the bikes and e-bikes on the tailgate. Fits 6 bikes easily and is comfortable to drive since it’s on a AWD suv chassis. It’s perfect! A lot better than a big ford or ram which I would never put to full use. I don’t work construction nor do I off road or tow. I don’t know why people hate so much??
I love the new ridgeline. It's all the truck 99.9% of people need. I know dozens of guys at the FD with large jacked up diesels, mud tires, exhaust pipes and they never been off pavement and never tow more than a bag of bunker gear and all at 8mpg.
@@GingerBilly yeah you can only play in traffic so much before it gets old. All the cars do is swerve and honk. Playing with the dog is fun, except when you both fight for the steak hanging around your neck that your dad put there. (I have first hand experience)

I have a story for you! My husband took me down a summer road, while it was raining, in his Chevy Silverado, and we got completely stuck in mud. My mother in law rescued us in her pretty, blue Honda Ridgline. Getting rescued from the mud by his mama! Neither of us will let him live it down.

As someone who drove across his share of Russian offroad, I'd actually recommend to always wear your seat belts. They not only increase safety, they actually increase comfort factor when your suspension starts playing.
Seat belts aren't always safe. They kill just as much as they save. They are highly flammable and they are known for getting stuck. Had an uncle crash and his car caught fire seat belt was stuck it was middle of night and he couldn't reach his pocket knife. He died. There are many many other instances of seat belts killing or harming I do get what you mean though.
@@cloversnek6751this just isn't true. Seat belts save way more then kill. The main reason is that seat save people from serious head trauma from more mundane accidents such as rear. These accidents happen far more often and more people would die or get seriously injured if they didn't have their seatbelts on

Billy's wife is probably having fits about what Billy is doing with her new Honda Ridgeline. I mean it must belong to his wife because no man would admit to *ownin* a Honda Ridgeline TBH.
I had a 2008 silver Honda ridgeline when i lived in Arizona..Love it or hate i drove her til the wheels fell off..Well tail pipe to🤣..Good truck for all you haters...
I remember when the first gens were being teased by Honda. I remember talking about it all the time with a buddy I used to work with. We were both into Hondas and he had a Civic SI at the time. We talked about how it would probably compare with the Dodge Dakota in size and look like a proper truck. I remember talking about buying one as soon as they came out. Then Honda gave us this abomination. This sad, pathetic excuse for a truck. We talked so much shit on it after that!
2007 Honda Ridgeline, 275000 miles. passed down from an uncle to me to my son in college. The White whale stands on the graves of two Ford 150s and a Jeep Commanche pickup truck. The Ridgeline is the stealth fighter aircraft of pickup trucks.
I own a Ridgeline and this video made me laugh. This guy is hilarious and when I saw he had a Ridgeline video I had to watch! I do get a lot of flak for owning a Ridgeline but I can tell you I've owned two, along with 2 other midsize trucks, and the Ridgeline blows them away; sorry but it's true. Come on, it did better "spinny circles" than the Tacomer!!!
Thank you for being able to take a joke! I’m not gonna lie…the Ridgeline made it through stuff today that I never thought it would. We’re gonna really take it off reading next and see what it’s really made of!
My 03 ranger's rear bumper can be hit by an anxious towncar and wrenched straight with a good chain and any price of metal that weighs more than 1300 pounds, my dad grazes the back corner of a Honda Ridgeline in his old beat up 97 'stang while backing out, came out without a scratch and then the bill for the Ridgeline with the slightly popped bumper plastic was about $1400.
My brother just picked one up and his hair is definitely going gray! It is a man van, he got it cuz his kid n fiance fit better in that than a civic lol
So what’s your reason for hating the ridge line? I honestly wouldn’t mind one because it’s just a truck with a V6 and since it’s a Honda it’ll last you forever.
The algorithm brought me here, I have a 2009 Ridgeline with 180K miles, NO ISSUES, i surf, the Ridgeline gets me thru the sand at the beach, ski & snowboard, does great in the mountain mud and snow, tows my Ducati & my other cars, hauls dishwashers, dryers, water heaters, furniture, junk, tires, 4x8 pressboard, stores all my tools, it's my rolling tool box. Also, its paid for and i have been fortunate to have no major problems, the Ridgeline, in my opinion, is the best investment i've made compared to my other vehicles. Finally, call my Ridgeline and me all the names you like, if can you duck dive big waves, survive in pounding surf or drop into a double black diamond ski run, work on your own rental properties and survive So Cal traffic on your motorcycle, I will accept all the "labels" you can give my Ridgeline and me.
I both own and love my Gen-1 Ridgeline, but I have to call you out on this one. That "Ridgeline" that you are talking about is a Ridgeline in name and badge only. Literally nothing about that Baja winner is stock. The engine is twin turbo-charged, the tires are 40s, tube frame, fiberglasss panels....RWD ....... yeah that's not a Ridgeline lol.
What I will say is THE MOST underrated off road rig is a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 Z71 4x4 with the REGULAR CAB SHORT BED STEPSIDE! That wheelbase is the shortest of any half ton truck from any brand during that time and since. The wheelbase was so close together that it was almost like a late 90’s keep…almost. The fact is that the regular can stepsides didn’t sell well for Chevy back then so they didn’t make loads of them. And almost 65% of them ones they did make were either 2 wheel drive, 4x4 but without the Z71 package and most importantly NEVER with the 5.3 Vortec V8. They usually had the V6 or the occasional 4x4 with the smaller 4.6l V8. They were old man farm trucks and that was it. Well I found a ‘01 1500 Regular cab shortbed Stepside 4x4 Z71 w/ that 5.3 V8 and the damn thing was pristine, only had 74,600 miles on it and had no noticeable rust issues anywhere on the truck. I had my mechanic go over it with a fine tooth comb and he couldn’t believe the guy only asked $6,500 for it. He actually tried to buy it before me but I got it first! I added a 3.5 inch Rough Country Suspension Lift (I would later replace the Rough Country shocks with Reservoir Bilsteins after almost a year. I added an ARB Front Bumber with 2 Hella 500 LEDs flush mounted into the bumber, eventually put a 13,000 lb Superwinch in that winch bumper, added additional dual LED Light Bars on the roof rack where I mounted two extra gas cans, a waterproof go pack & emergency shovel, axe. I then added a ARB Air Locker in the rear axle with the air compressor fitting perfectly in a open spot in the corner of the engine bay, I thought about getting a front locker but they aren’t cheap and so far it’s all I’ve needed. I went with 33 inch Nitto Terra Grappler A/Ts at first and liked them so much I just put a new pair of them on the 16 inch matte black Mickey Thompson steel wheels. Flowmaster 50 series true dual exhaust, AFE Stage III cold air intake, Edelbrock throttle body spacer, Gibson short tube headers & high flow cats is I’ve done performance wise to the engine. It’s gained me some solid power and Tq that’s noticeable but nothing crazy. It’s Already around 300 Horses and over 370 lbs Tq so I don’t need much more for A relatively light half ton truck. I may put a Banks Gas Performance tuner w/ dash mount screen in one day but after that I’m done
I imagine that there is undoubtedly someone within earshot of Billy, just sitting there in their deerstand, wondering just what in the hell is going on just over the next ridge! 😂😂😂
I remember when "truck guys" laughed at my 85 Toyota. They called it racist names and belittled its abilities. That truck was fantastic. I bought it new off the lot for $12,500. I was 17 and in love with that damn thing, My brother and I built it up, interior rollcage, Northwest Offroad suspension, 33" Super Swampers. Three RS 5000 (valved wrong) over the confer trussed front axle and duels in the rear with kickers. The list went on. Still miss that truck.
I had an ‘85 extra cab (which meant you could tilt your seat or extremely torture your carless friend). Also, I had 33” BFG AT’s which were huge back in the day. Now my stock Rubicon has the same size tires. LOL. Funny thing, that Toyota saw a lot more off-road than my Rubicon does.
My best friend had an 83, I've never seen a truck take abuse like that thing! I would stand in the bed and hang on to the roll bar while he would jump it at 45+ mph, climb hills, and go off-trail.allmover the desert. Ahh the stupidity of youth. I even stepped from his truck to my buddy's car and back on the freeway at 80mph. Had to pass the doob, and didn't wanna drop it! I had a Nissan hardbody, 4 banger, stock...offered to pull a K5 and a CJ out of a mud bog on my way past them. They both flipped me off, not wanting to get pulled out by a foreign truck without 40" swampers on it. When I came back an hour later, they were both covered in mud and still stuck. They took my help the second time. Best part is, I drove it up to the windshield in a "puddle" and sucked water in the intake, was running on 3 cylinders when I chugged past them the first time! That was a damn good truck!
Well, let's give "Carl" a little credit, y'all.... A: he didn't get his truck stuck in the mud, and.... B: he's wearing a pretty cool flowerdy shirt. Shush it, I remember when "JAMZ" were in style. 😂😂😂
Honestly, didn't see a thing wrong with the truck. Plus, the whatever did look like an illegetment love child of a bird cage and a piece of doodoo. Send it!
The only ridgeline I've ever had the displeasure of working on was Fwd only. I was expecting this one to bury itself. Ridgeline is just a Pilot with Open-air Storage Space.
Gotta say, it did better than I expected. Why do so many have to feel like the mere existence of the Ridgeline is a personal attack on their own masculinity?
Truck boys are a part of that shitty car culture where it's a non-stop dick measuring contest. Applies to muscle car fans and sometimes even the low budget ricers as well.
"that thing is an illegitimate love child of a El Camino and a Honda Pilot" Classic one liner! LOL Ginger Billy, Couldn't agree more. same line goes for the "Cybertruck" Gay!!
I’m amazed he even wanted to get close to a ridgeline… the amount of danger he is subjected to himself to amuse and educate the world. Hats off, mr billy.

@@pocketlint82 I had a 70's Chevy Impala Wagon that had it, been around a long time!
@@ShadowBannedagain I am sorry, but what about the Chinese brands?
Billy's wife is probably having fits about what Billy is doing with her new Honda Ridgeline. I mean it must belong to his wife because no man would admit to *ownin* a Honda Ridgeline TBH.
THICC
It's an old person truck.
I had a 2008 silver Honda ridgeline when i lived in Arizona..Love it or hate i drove her til the wheels fell off..Well tail pipe to🤣..Good truck for all you haters...
I remember when the first gens were being teased by Honda. I remember talking about it all the time with a buddy I used to work with. We were both into Hondas and he had a Civic SI at the time. We talked about how it would probably compare with the Dodge Dakota in size and look like a proper truck. I remember talking about buying one as soon as they came out. Then Honda gave us this abomination. This sad, pathetic excuse for a truck. We talked so much shit on it after that!
I stole the Ridgeline. Taking it back as we speak.
This just showed me how well the Ridgeline can handle mud impressive
2007 Honda Ridgeline, 275000 miles. passed down from an uncle to me to my son in college. The White whale stands on the graves of two Ford 150s and a Jeep Commanche pickup truck. The Ridgeline is the stealth fighter aircraft of pickup trucks.
Still a man van.
I love how he's so good at doing donut's that even when he tries to fail at it, it still looks accidentally good! 😂😂
You can still do donuts in fwd cars it’s just a bit hard to pull off
@@slapshotjack9806 well yea in reverse
@@Regan995 no it’s possible this guy actually figured it out
Same
Ive done “donuts” around some small round a outs in ny fit. I imagine it should be pretty easy in the dirt
Billy: No, I don't have a trunk in the back of my TRUCK BED!!
🤣 Well said! Grounds for Truck Gang disqualification RIGHT THERE!
I liked my secret trunk, now everyone will know about it. lol
That was fun.
Great comments.
Thanks.
I love my 2018 Ridgeline! It does everything I need it to do, including getting 30 MPG on the interstate.
Most fun I’ve ever seen someone had in a ridgeline
You had me laughing again. Keep it up and no, Ridgelines don’t belong in “TRUCK GANG”
The fact that you can tell he bought that outfit for this video is perfect and shows his dedication to his content.
1:18 That sounds like when I accidentally clog my vacuum cleaner with a bed sheet.
Man you had me rolling like all the way through this....genius, pure genius!
Yelp
Lol
Yep he’s great!! 😂
I own a Ridgeline and this video made me laugh. This guy is hilarious and when I saw he had a Ridgeline video I had to watch! I do get a lot of flak for owning a Ridgeline but I can tell you I've owned two, along with 2 other midsize trucks, and the Ridgeline blows them away; sorry but it's true. Come on, it did better "spinny circles" than the Tacomer!!!
Thank you for being able to take a joke! I’m not gonna lie…the Ridgeline made it through stuff today that I never thought it would. We’re gonna really take it off reading next and see what it’s really made of!
@@GingerBilly it is what it is but it aint a truck
Hahahaha highly doubt your Ridgeline blew anything out of the water.
@@Buldingstuff well the Ridgeline was by far superior to my Canyon and Ranger. Honestly the Ridgeline is very underated.
Probably the only reason you catch so much flak is because of Ginger Billie's videos. He's world famous. Lol. Truck gang🛻
The fact that I got a Honda ad while watching this is incredible
My 03 ranger's rear bumper can be hit by an anxious towncar and wrenched straight with a good chain and any price of metal that weighs more than 1300 pounds, my dad grazes the back corner of a Honda Ridgeline in his old beat up 97 'stang while backing out, came out without a scratch and then the bill for the Ridgeline with the slightly popped bumper plastic was about $1400.
Every time you see a Ridgeline check the driver: gray hair. Accurate!!
My brother just picked one up and his hair is definitely going gray! It is a man van, he got it cuz his kid n fiance fit better in that than a civic lol
Yup! With WhistlinDiesel as an exception 🤣🤣🤣
@@koreyhayden1368 that’s an exception: he was doing an experiment
@@luisruizcalderon2450 🤣🤣🤣 yup!
@@jackd.ripper9216 agreed
Carl almost sold me on the Ridgeline, but then he opened that “tailgate”…
Don't quote me on this but I think that gate swings both ways.
Still not a reason to ever own one tho!
You mean that station wagon door?
@@bobbydellaserra441 🤣🤣🤣🤣☠☠☠
I mean, it's a honda so it'll last forever. But other than that there aren't any buying points
Jokes on you. The tailgate drops down flat or to the side
So what’s your reason for hating the ridge line? I honestly wouldn’t mind one because it’s just a truck with a V6 and since it’s a Honda it’ll last you forever.
Feel like Carl is actually the kind of guy to call the coos on somebody doing spinny circles
The algorithm brought me here, I have a 2009 Ridgeline with 180K miles, NO ISSUES, i surf, the Ridgeline gets me thru the sand at the beach, ski & snowboard, does great in the mountain mud and snow, tows my Ducati & my other cars, hauls dishwashers, dryers, water heaters, furniture, junk, tires, 4x8 pressboard, stores all my tools, it's my rolling tool box.
Also, its paid for and i have been fortunate to have no major problems, the Ridgeline, in my opinion, is the best investment i've made compared to my other vehicles. Finally, call my Ridgeline and me all the names you like, if can you duck dive big waves, survive in pounding surf or drop into a double black diamond ski run, work on your own rental properties and survive So Cal traffic on your motorcycle, I will accept all the "labels" you can give my Ridgeline and me.
If you own a ducati, you can drive any kind of truck you want and be cool
Fun fact Honda Ridgeline took victory in a class 7 iconic Baja 1000 off road race this year. 😂🙃
I hear silence.
I both own and love my Gen-1 Ridgeline, but I have to call you out on this one. That "Ridgeline" that you are talking about is a Ridgeline in name and badge only. Literally nothing about that Baja winner is stock. The engine is twin turbo-charged, the tires are 40s, tube frame, fiberglasss panels....RWD ....... yeah that's not a Ridgeline lol.
What I will say is THE MOST underrated off road rig is a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 Z71 4x4 with the REGULAR CAB SHORT BED STEPSIDE! That wheelbase is the shortest of any half ton truck from any brand during that time and since. The wheelbase was so close together that it was almost like a late 90’s keep…almost. The fact is that the regular can stepsides didn’t sell well for Chevy back then so they didn’t make loads of them. And almost 65% of them ones they did make were either 2 wheel drive, 4x4 but without the Z71 package and most importantly NEVER with the 5.3 Vortec V8. They usually had the V6 or the occasional 4x4 with the smaller 4.6l V8. They were old man farm trucks and that was it. Well I found a ‘01 1500 Regular cab shortbed Stepside 4x4 Z71 w/ that 5.3 V8 and the damn thing was pristine, only had 74,600 miles on it and had no noticeable rust issues anywhere on the truck. I had my mechanic go over it with a fine tooth comb and he couldn’t believe the guy only asked $6,500 for it. He actually tried to buy it before me but I got it first! I added a 3.5 inch Rough Country Suspension Lift (I would later replace the Rough Country shocks with Reservoir Bilsteins after almost a year. I added an ARB Front Bumber with 2 Hella 500 LEDs flush mounted into the bumber, eventually put a 13,000 lb Superwinch in that winch bumper, added additional dual LED Light Bars on the roof rack where I mounted two extra gas cans, a waterproof go pack & emergency shovel, axe. I then added a ARB Air Locker in the rear axle with the air compressor fitting perfectly in a open spot in the corner of the engine bay, I thought about getting a front locker but they aren’t cheap and so far it’s all I’ve needed. I went with 33 inch Nitto Terra Grappler A/Ts at first and liked them so much I just put a new pair of them on the 16 inch matte black Mickey Thompson steel wheels. Flowmaster 50 series true dual exhaust, AFE Stage III cold air intake, Edelbrock throttle body spacer, Gibson short tube headers & high flow cats is I’ve done performance wise to the engine. It’s gained me some solid power and Tq that’s noticeable but nothing crazy. It’s Already around 300 Horses and over 370 lbs Tq so I don’t need much more for A relatively light half ton truck. I may put a Banks Gas Performance tuner w/ dash mount screen in one day but after that I’m done
This guy deserves his own tv show! Always makes me laugh & never fails on comedy 🤙🤟🏽👍👍🏾✊🏽👊🏼🤘🏾💯💯💯💯
I’d buy a ridgeline and lift it just to piss off all the “real truck” owners.
DO IT
Someone on YT turbo’d theirs and made around 320+hp

I imagine that there is undoubtedly someone within earshot of Billy, just sitting there in their deerstand, wondering just what in the hell is going on just over the next ridge! 😂😂😂
Gotta love the new ad for the ridgeline
Man van.
I'm gonna remember that one.
If we're disqualifying the ridgeline for it's trunk, can we kick out the ram too???
Spinny circles 😂🤣
That's probably the most action any Ridgeline will ever see
“Wish version of a Chevy Avalanche” is the best description ever of that Ridgeline.
"Real men drive death traps" 😂😂
Hey that ridgeline moved pretty good through all that. Us ridgeline owners will create our own gang lol.
NART Gang?
Man Van Clan?
I love how he opens up the hood and shows us the 3.7 liter baby motor😅, with the Barn door tailgate, in the big box f******4 ft pickup bed lol.
Ginger billy is a bloody legend. Absolutely love love him and his humor.
Carl is rad bro. He has square balls.
Plot twist: this is Ginger Billy off cam 😂 “Safety first 🤓”
Carl is Billy's actual voice and Billy is an act for youtube.
Great video Ginger Billy! I laughed so, hard my insides hurt!
“Oh boy oh lord “ is ginger billy is his real reaction he probably thought is was falling apart
As a Ridgeline owner , I can relate.
I remember when "truck guys" laughed at my 85 Toyota. They called it racist names and belittled its abilities. That truck was fantastic. I bought it new off the lot for $12,500. I was 17 and in love with that damn thing, My brother and I built it up, interior rollcage, Northwest Offroad suspension, 33" Super Swampers. Three RS 5000 (valved wrong) over the confer trussed front axle and duels in the rear with kickers. The list went on. Still miss that truck.
Small trucks for the win
I had an ‘85 extra cab (which meant you could tilt your seat or extremely torture your carless friend). Also, I had 33” BFG AT’s which were huge back in the day. Now my stock Rubicon has the same size tires. LOL. Funny thing, that Toyota saw a lot more off-road than my Rubicon does.
My best friend had an 83, I've never seen a truck take abuse like that thing! I would stand in the bed and hang on to the roll bar while he would jump it at 45+ mph, climb hills, and go off-trail.allmover the desert. Ahh the stupidity of youth.
I even stepped from his truck to my buddy's car and back on the freeway at 80mph. Had to pass the doob, and didn't wanna drop it!
I had a Nissan hardbody, 4 banger, stock...offered to pull a K5 and a CJ out of a mud bog on my way past them. They both flipped me off, not wanting to get pulled out by a foreign truck without 40" swampers on it. When I came back an hour later, they were both covered in mud and still stuck. They took my help the second time. Best part is, I drove it up to the windshield in a "puddle" and sucked water in the intake, was running on 3 cylinders when I chugged past them the first time! That was a damn good truck!
Now! Everyone would sell there grandma for that truck.
I am now understanding this Ridgeline vision
That Ridgeline's actually pretty dope
real men drive death traps !! fucking brilliant my friend!!
Tbh. That swingaway tailgate and "trunk" look pretty handy 😆
Honestly that tailgate and trunk under the bed was pretty cool ngl
Had several buddies who owned 2500 chevys and they love their Ridgelines
Well, let's give "Carl" a little credit, y'all....
A: he didn't get his truck stuck in the mud, and....
B: he's wearing a pretty cool flowerdy shirt.
Shush it, I remember when "JAMZ" were in style. 😂😂😂
Honestly, didn't see a thing wrong with the truck. Plus, the whatever did look like an illegetment love child of a bird cage and a piece of doodoo. Send it!
Ginger Billy needs to be hired by SNL immediately 🤣
I doubt they’ll hire him he’s not a Leftist
My friend had a S10 vortec. Never did much off road with it but damn the thing was like a sports car on the streets.
The only ridgeline I've ever had the displeasure of working on was Fwd only. I was expecting this one to bury itself.
Ridgeline is just a Pilot with Open-air Storage Space.
Credit where due, that ridge line did make it through the puddle. Lmao.
Gotta say, it did better than I expected. Why do so many have to feel like the mere existence of the Ridgeline is a personal attack on their own masculinity?
Truck boys are a part of that shitty car culture where it's a non-stop dick measuring contest. Applies to muscle car fans and sometimes even the low budget ricers as well.
Spinny circles Carl, spinny circles!!!
Im getting hints of Chris Farley in your Carl character n im totally here for it 🤣
Respect to Host and Channel 👍✌️🇨🇦
Briggs and Stratton.....
I'm dying, that's enough internet for today for me.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"that thing is an illegitimate love child of a El Camino and a Honda Pilot" Classic one liner! LOL Ginger Billy, Couldn't agree more. same line goes for the "Cybertruck" Gay!!
When ever I see a ridge line or avalanche or a cyber truck I just say gaaayyyyy!! Lol I’m not alone
Sounds like some deep rooted closet issues you two got
The "what you got under the hood, a briggs and stratton" got me🤣🤣
I work on Ridgelines everyday can confirm
They're going to be some pissed off country boys when the Ford Mavericks spanks their big V8 at stop lights. Lol!
Pending on whos v8 it is..
A Honda Ridgeline is NOT A TRUCK.
Its a deformed station wagon with a glandular problem
TRUCK GANG !! 🤘
Well put
Has a bed = truck
and now I have a lung problem from laughing too hard
@@benjammin8510 front wheel drive and has a vtec.
Not a truck.

I’m amazed he even wanted to get close to a ridgeline… the amount of danger he is subjected to himself to amuse and educate the world. Hats off, mr billy.
