    Pretty good. Thank you for posting. I have a 17 Ridgeline and have only driven minimally in the snow. But I did drive home from dropping my son off at college a few years ago in a snowstorm. All sorts of vehicles were off the road stuck on the NY Thruway and I made it thru about 330 miles of snow storm and I wasn't even in snow mode. The Ridge was solid!
    I have been hoping (and for years dieing to) but haven't had a chance yet to go over sand in Truro and Provincetown at the tip of Cape Cod. Have you done any soft sand dune driving yet? (I almost did last year and have since purchased a full size spare, which is a requirement to going OSV, this summer guarenteed!)

    I had fun in the snow in with my 06 ridge running KO2's. I have been in deeper snow and know my limits. Low ground clearance tends to high center. If you are high centered on you frame/axles an open diff, Sh-AWD, lockers will still get stuck. Make sure you have a shovel, it sucks being stuck/stranded low on fuel in the cold. I still love the truck and love the utility it has. It is very practical.

    So, first of all, I really like the Ridgeline and its much better than the haters pretend. Much. People seem to need to hate things, no idea. The RL would suit me fine and better than much of the competition for many purposes. But.... that LC is 24 years old, looks great and totally solid and just does it. The level of durability and integrity found in Toyota LCs especially, although to some extent in other Toyotas (like a 4cyl 4x4 manual transmission Tacoma for example), is something very unique for stuff regular humans can actually buy. And that old LC would get much more serious than a snow plow pile if needed. So in 24 years try a test again with the RL and do it someplace more suited to the safari vehicle. Then we’ll see how the RL stacks. Thing is, I don’t really need that, doubt I’ll be around in 24 years and the Ridgeline seems very, very good to me. It might very well pass that future test too.

    • @DriversOnly
      @DriversOnly  6 років тому

      Thanks, I think so too. The stock rims and tires are like 3 inches inside the fender and make the ridgeline look kind of top heavy. They are XD series wheels, I forget the exact model but if you browse their website you can find it. Tires are General Grabber AT 265/65/17. These are the largest passenger rated tires, any larger you move to the LT tires which are much heavier. Overall the truck is slightly louder from the tires but almost unnoticeable and ride is extremely smooth.

      MrDamon70 - comfort is off the charts - needed a truck that would be a commuter (90mi/day) for my regular job in Wash DC traffic and haul fishing gear every weekend as well as tools etc for odd carpentry jobs.
      I wanted a Tacoma but when I drove it I was claustrophobic in the cab. Loved the Tacoma but it wasn't comfortable to me at all. The ride was also what you'd expect from a good offroad vehicle. Once I got in the RL I couldn't believe the comfort, space, and size of the windshield. Every luxury you can think of plus plenty of room for passengers as well. It basically has the smooth ride of the Pilot (shocker, I know) I've had this truck for 6 months and LOVE it. The hidden trunk is invaluable for wet fishing gear and for safe storage of tools. The truck bed speakers have been great at tailgates and on fishing trips. This is not a full sized pick up that you'd want as a contractor but for a city driver you can not beat it. I've even hauled a friends boat because it came equipped from the factory with the tow package. Hope this helps.

    • @deereman8237
      @deereman8237 5 років тому +1

      A Ridgeline is a great daily driver, however if you really want to go off road or haul heavier payloads in the back, I’d recommend a traditionally designed body on frame truck. I honestly don’t think that a Ridgeline rides any smoother than my 08’ Dodge Ram 1500. Not trying to start a argument, but just stating my perspective. I’d honestly go and look at both half ton and midsize trucks from every brand, and just see what you like. I know I was ready to buy a GMC Canyon when I test drove my full-size Dodge and realized how much more truck I got for the money.

      "VTM-4 LOCK" on the 2006-2014 was a bit of a misnomer. It didn't actually perform a solid mechanical lock. Instead, it simply applied both rear clutches at maximum capacity (70% of available torque - above which the clutches would slip by design). "Sand mode" in the 2017-current Ridgeline and Pilot does the same thing.

    • @czar2321

    Good video. Thanks. I wouldn't mind the Ridgeline for around town and HomeDepot runs. My neighbor has one and it is very nice! But in Colorado I might prefer a real truck with ground clearance, 4WD, and locking diff for mountain trails, rocks, and ruts. I'll probably sell my 1998 Tacoma and get a new one.... but there's nothing wrong with it so maybe not! I'm starting to eye new trucks and still undecided.

    It was ok to watch, but proved nothing. You didn't have enough forward momentum in either vehicle as you would have made it the fist time in both. Also, the Land Cruiser would have made it the 2nd try, but you hit the brakes! ?? Not sure you know what you're doing. Like I said, just something to watch but no value.

    The Ridgeline is pretty truck in a SUV minivan Kinda of way. But why did Honda go out of there way to make it look so ugly? The older model looked better by far and it was kinda ugly.

  • @TasickMedia

    This is not a great test. Both vehicles could have plowed through that snow bank and continued on through the field had he not been so hesitant. Driving through deep snow is not rock crawling, you need momentum. Also, he didn't do any tests showing the Ridgeline's traction control at speed, which would have recovered way better than that old Land Cruiser.

    I live in Northern USA and experience lots of snow. I do go off road and have Tacoma TRD Off-Road. Let put it simply the guy in Land Cruiser either has no clue how to drive in snow or he was holding internationally back. I would make that hill in 1 try with my Tacoma that has OEM tires. Land Cruiser should be better than Tacoma.

    • @DriversOnly

      It's an older truck and his daily driver so he didn't want to break anything. Unfortunately afterward his power steering pump started leaking lol.

      I have a tacoma trd with a 3 inch lift, 32 falken wildpeaks at3w, my freind has a 2007 ridgeline with 31 falken wildpeak at3w, and boy that ridgeline is really surprising in the snow, when he gets on that throttle he has more power then i do and goes through anything, of course my truck is better off road and slightly better overall in snow but not by much, those ridgelines are very impressive for what they are and also very comfortable
