This is a quick review over the features and functions in the new 2019 Honda Ridgeline rtl-e trim. If you have already purchased one, or are considering it this is a great refresher on what the car has to offer.
Very cool truck with lots of nice features. A few improvements that would be nice are : Knobs to control at the dash for GPS screen and etc. (in addition to steering wheel controls), back doors that open to 90% angle, a couple more inches of ground clearance.
Someone needs to build a small truck again. I keep hoping Hyundai or Mazda will fill that market. I waited 2 years for the new Colorado, but it's as big as a Silverado. So now I'm driving my 01 S-10 Extreme and haven't seen anything I like better.
Even if you get a locking tonneau cover, THE TAILGATE DOES NOT LOCK. I added a Pop N Lock I had installed professionally-locks with keyset like reat of car.
Justin, when you going to do a video on the new Passport? When will pricing be available? Maybe you can do a video using the Pilot and tell us what will be different. Why is only the 9-speed going to be available on the Passport. Tell us about the improvements on the 9-speed, up-shift and downshit..
It looks like they will s tarting arriving at my dealership at the beginning of February. As soon as one arrives I will do a video on it and all its details!
I can push the drivers seat all the way back and then sit behind the driver and be fine. I am right at 6ft. That should give you an idea for space, but it would not hurt to check it out yourself too.
You also should check out the competition. The Ridgeline is by far the roomiest midsize truck on the market. Compared to a Tacoma, well there is no comparison.
Nice review. But every video I watch more or less explains the same information. But no one ever states if this truck bed can hold some sheets of plywood or drywall. It the bed wide enough to fit 4 feet wide material???
Excelente review Justin. Any differences between the 2017 and 2019 RTL-E models? I am in San Antonio, TX, looking/ waiting for a great deal on the price. Also, ifor the ones that own this truck, I am curious about the price, please share! :-)
Do you have any idea about the logic in offering our northern neighbors cooled seats for their 4 week summer, but not here in the US? Makes zero sense to me.
Quick question sorry if I sound complete dull but can u quickly explain the differences between the rtle, the other one you mentioned, and the black edition? would these make good offroad trucks? or would it be like trying to hit the trails with a Subaru wagon and never be able to rock climb obstacles, or hit a deep mudhole that a Rubicon, or something with a front and rear locker compare to the ridgeline? i would love to know thanks in advance.
So moving to the Black Edition from the RTL-E will get you: black paint, 18 inch black painted wheels, perforated black leather with red trim, red ambient lighting, and badging. So, to me I would go with the RTL-E personally. The Black Edition is mainly just about appearance. Now could you off road in this truck, probably. But I do not know if anyone produces a lift that will fit it. I am sure someone probably does. I think finding off road parts would be much harder. I personally own a Wrangler and would say that would be better equipped with plenty of options on offroad add-ons. Not saying performance would necessarily be better, but because the are commonly used for this, it would be easier to get anything you need for it.
As a volunteer firefighter, My department is dsipatched via a third party app called I an Responding. Tells important info about the run as well as driving to call and water sources nearby. Can this app be added to favorites and display on the screen?
It is a lot, but if you price out a Ranger, Tacoma, Colorado or Canyon with similar options you are at about the same price. Then price out a full size Truck with similar features and you can add 12K to 15K more.
