In my opinion i love the infotainment system in the colorado and the "full" digital dash. I also like the look of the colorado more. But i like the ridgelines more comfortable ride and the more rear seat leg room of the ridgeline. Personally the ridgeline is more of a daily truck and the colorado is more of an offroad truck. I see myself driving more on the road then off the road so its the ridgeline for me. I can deal with 5,000 pound towing capacity and i would probably be using both trucks just the same so again its the ridgeline for the win for me
I know what people are gonna said the Ridgeline is not a “real truck” but I rather have the Honda Ridgeline and not the Chevy Colorado. Great video btw
Informative review. Excellent comparison. Exactly the types of trucks I will be considering at the end of 2024. There are pros and cons to each. How about sharing the payload for each of these trucks? I am guessing the RL TrailSport is around 1500 lbs plus or minus. The Colorado has more “max” payload, but this 4wd Z71 has will have less payload than the max for the Colorado. How much less?
@@YTJoshuaMcDonald The Colorado is definitely impressive with its towing and payload capacities. I am a fan of the exterior styling of the GM twins (preferring the Canyon over the Colorado, but both are sharp). The Ridgeline is so unique and capable in its own right, particularly in terms of bed innovation, rear seat storage, etc. The RL’s 6 cylinder and the RL in general are historically very reliable while the GM twins have struggled with reliability. Infotainment goes to the Colorado. I want a midsize truck to replace our current 8 cylinder mid-size SUV to tow our small camper (2900 lbs). Both the RL and the Colorado will tow our camper and I want 1500 lbs of payload or more for hauling camping gear, tongue weight, pets, passengers, etc. I can see why some would prefer the function, brawnier appearance, infotainment, and truckiness of the Colorado while others would prefer the reliability, safety, dependability, storage and space innovation, comfort, and drivability of the Ridgeline. Thanks for sharing the payloads.
People should realize that there's an inverse relationship between on road handling dynamics and off road capability. The Ridgeline strikes an excellent balance for limited dirt, but far superior on slippery roads.
🎯💯 Most people don't realize Ridgeline has a reinforcing frame, strengthening it's structure. While not body on chassis, it has MORE strength than most of us rivals. As a side note, I discovered 12v cordless tools late in life, and now use them more than the 18v tools I have.
As much as I like the Ridgeline, the lack of ground clearance is a dealbreaker for me as I am looking to go up some roughed up trails made worse but the storms we’ve had in CA
@@eamonob84 yes I’m sure they do, and now I have to spend $1000 to get ground clearance I get stock with other vehicles that have a two speed transfer case
The Colorado is sexy but it’s still a GM product so I guess I’ll choose the Ridgeline
The Colorado is better looking but with the RL, you know what you're getting and you are getting alot of good, standard features.

I'd rather have the "not a real truck." I see no benefit of body-on-frame for a mid-sized.

Thanks again! The Colorado has 1700 lbs of payload vs the Ridgeline which has 1,524 lbs

Maybe I'm nuts, but I'm apprehensive of a full digital I.P. in fact, i prefer the 23 Rudgeline's traditional guages.

I have a 21 RL, thinking about a 24 Z71. Good vid
Good review!

“Extra space under the rear seat in the Colorado, but it’s taken up with the jack, so it’s basically useless.”
Pretty much haha
V6 is all i need to hear

They do make lift kits for the Ridgeline, just depends if you want to add some extra cost for it.

One of these vehicles will still be on the road in 10 years and have 100,000 more miles left in it.
You know which one that is.
Curious to see what the correct answer is lol
@@baileyhunt7789It’s the one with the NA 6
Honda @@baileyhunt7789
Honda is always playing catch up on their interior. Wonder if it will be updated for 2025.
