2021 - 2022 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E Walk Around Review 

Bought mine w few days ago , your superb post I stayed till the end. TY

I’ve had this truck for a week and this video taught me a lot. Thank you!

I bought one yesterday and this video is very helpful. Big change for me going from a 2008 Pilot to the Ridgeline! So that's how you open that back windshield window! And I had no idea about the secret compartment! Thanks Crazy Honda Chris!!! :)

Thank you! Just got the RTL-E with HPD package! This was very informative.

Appreciate this walkaround as we are looking at the Ridgeline RTLE. It's nice to see a video where a salesman actually has a thorough walk around.

had my RTL-E for a week and learned a great deal from this video. Thanks

Love the review, good job!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome presentation. Thank you, just got my 2021 RTL-E here in Texas...

great review, such detail provided!

Little details I've not seen in other reviews. Great job!

I’ve preordered my I can’t wait to get it thanks for the video

Great video man. I just reserved my RTL-E today. I learned a lot from this. The ONLY things I wished you covered is what constitutes the "upgraded" audio system...and the led lighting.

just got my 2021 black edition in white. MY god what an amazing truck. drives like butter.

Thanks. Now i don't have to go searching through the manual on my new Ridgeline. Great walk around.

Really like the RTL-E. Only trouble, there are only 16 available in a 200 mile radius from me. I see sales of Ridgelines are about 50 percent higher than last year at this time. Hope they crank out more RTL-E's. Nice review. Thank you.

Loving that new red color and the wheels.

Like how you actually turn stuff on and show how it works.

Fantastic review, best I've seen and I've watched dozens. After a recent test drive concluded the salesman told me the lane keep assist (lane centering) had adjustable sensitivity. True or false? Thanks much for your professionalism and sharing your product knowledge!

Nice review!

Just got back from a test drive of a Ridgeline and fell in love with the vehicle until the salesman revealed a few things about the engine that has me having second thoughts. He mentioned that the motor uses a timing belt vs chain so will have to replace in the future. The motor has VCM variable cylinder management which is cylinder deactivation. Some of my mechanic friends have told me to avoid these motors with that feature. To top it off it has start stop feature which I can tolerate since it can be shut off. Have some serious decision making to do since I like everything else about the truck

Chris left his phone number in one old video and being in the market, I gave him a call. He got back to me the same day and we talked about midsize options for my lifestyle. Chris couldn’t have gone more out of his way to help me out so please support this guy as I will now!

excellent video

Every automaker should set up the auto stop-start feature so that, when you turn it off it stays off until to turn it back on again. Otherwise, great vehicle and great review!!

Another great review for sure. If possible please kindly showing night shots especially how those headlights, signal, dashboard, interior, bed light during night time. Thanks

I have a 2019, love everything about it except for the suv looking front end.

This was outstanding information for a new 2023 owner! Well done better than the owners manual Can you tell me the setting is called which when the vehicle veers off the side and shows yellow.. and the steering wheel chatters? Can this be turned off? What Gen is the 2023 Thanks for your great videos Really helps

Nice looking. The hood looks open though. Kind of odd but a wind deflector can make that look a little better.

2023 honda ridgeline hybrid would be sick.

I wonder if I can get a black trim above the black grill and get rid of that chrome trim.

I have a question about the back end of the truck. I have a Great Dane and want this truck for her traveling area. With putting a canopy on the top of it is there a cooling mechanism for the backend of the truck? I way to keep the canapy area cool for my Dane?

Living for that chrome

Great video. I am considering a Ridgeline. Does this vehicle have a compass display and outside temp. display? Thanks!

“All Right”

Alright!

Does this model have BRAKE HOLD? For constant stop and go traffic or slow speed follow? Does the park function work like brake hold, like hitting the button 20 times in a busy drive thru? or just switch to neutral dozens of times. I also use it a ton with traffic jams. A parking brake button would work as well as long as i can keep the truck in drive? I just love brake hold and need to know before committing to buy this trim level. Thanks

They really need to pay someone like VW to re-design their infotainment system. The number of times you had to double-press things or hunt around to know where to press to do simple things is indicative of the complete lack of intuituveness and laggy performance. There's 0 need for all the icon animations flying all over the place when you just want to click a freaking touch screen button when you're driving down the road. It needs a software update immediately. Physical buttons will always be superior than touch buttons with no tactile response. This is all from a guy who wants to love this truck and buy a Black Edition. Also, piano black interior trim in those Black Edition models is a terrible choice. What's with all the shooting of themselves in the foot?

I need a camera at the back of a towed trailer. Is there a way to get input from an additional camera on the viewing screen?

I wanna see the ambient lighting

Hey folks is it possible to add recovery points to the front of the new Ridgeline also what about a winch ?

Please do a 2022 Black Edition with a Black HPD Package.

I just purchased a 22 rtle the front parking sensors don't give a warning until I'm about six to eight inches to the vehicle in front of me way to close any suggestions.

Will the new re design front fit or work on the 2020 ? Please reply thanks.

Probably more American made content in this Ridgeline then the big 3 pickup truck garbage being produced. Only negative is the infotainment system, looks outdated but this little pickup is what 99% of the truck owners would need.

What's the windshield button for on the left side of the steering wheel you failed to show us?

I have a 202 1 ridgeline the lower end one how do lock tail gate with key

Why no ventilation seats on the USA model while the Canadian model has ventilation front seats on this model?

Does the passenger seat have electric controls?

Does the rear camera work in the rain.

Can we expect a hybrid option in 2022?

I wish they weren't so expensive, even the older used ones are rare and expensive in my area

Hey Chris, you did not explain what one of the buttons on the lower left side does. You clearly pressed it on at the 11:44 mark when pressing the heating steering wheel button on, but please explain what that button turns on or off. Thank you Crazy Honda Chris.

Is passenger seat powered?

Moon roof... does it open?

You didn’t know about the heated windshield for wipers!

I don't know why Honda sales is calling this a "redesign". All honda did was change the front end styling, dual tailpipes out of a single exhaust and add a volume knob. Other than that, everything on the inside is exactly the same functionally as the 2020 (or even the 2017 for that matter. Same gauge cluster, same shitty head unit. If they really wanted to call this even a mid cycle refresh, they would have brought the gauge/infotaintment systems from the Pilot/Passport/Odyssey. My daughters 2015 Fit has the same head unit software as this 45K truck.

No mention or rear leg room.

Button shifters are overkill, give me a stick shift , those buttons suck ! No knock on you , your review was excellent & it is a great truck but I see no improvement going from a sitck to those goofy looking buttons.

I guess the back seats don't fold down.

Exterior design and usability is great. Interior is a huge let down unfortunately.

Pretty sad the only thing that has really changed might have been grill and gear switch going from stick to buttons other then that nothing has changed I'm vary disappointed the steering wheel the same and well 95% of this truck is same as past generation but mostly stearing wheel, over priced and not much new, want one but prefer a few upgrades first

Suggestions, clean your throat and dont eat before recording. Thankyou

Ugh, why doesn't this have an electric parking brake?

Honda Ridgeline is NOT a truck. It's Honda Pilot with a truck bed!!! it drive and ride like Honda Pilot.

so much plastic on the interior and driver seat don't look comfortable. Acura needs to make a pickup

How come Honda interiors are sooooo plain and full of bland plastics. No textures or high touch/feel like Mazda’s.

Outdated style. Infotainment need upgrades. Not a fan of honda design.

It's little whimpy for me
