2024 Honda Ridgeline RTL - The BEST Midsize Truck For The Money 

I just purchased this exact same truck.. same color.. 3 weeks ago. I traded my 2017 Silverado z71 with a v8 after the transmission had a catastrophic failure. Still got $18k trade for it tho.. so that was good. I was worried about downsizing after being in full size trucks for the past 25 years.. but I'm really enjoying this truck. Much more than I expected. Its a real joy to drive.

Just bought a 2024 Ridgeline RTL and I love it! At 78 y/o it was time for me to step down from my full size GMC 4x4. My Ridgeline is simply FANTASTIC, and would recommend it to anyone!! Great job Honda!

The same saps that say the Ridgeline isn’t a real truck are now lined up to buy a maverick.

The phone charger didn’t work because your phone was facing screen down.

Nice review. Safford Brown Honda is where I bought my 2023 RTL-E from in December. Luv the truck, it’s very underrated🤗

CORRECTION: D/S shift. S is NOT sport mode, it is Sequential mode for manual shifting.

I have been looking at Ridgelines for years. So glad they came out with them again. Just leased a RTL It has all the bells and whistles and is what the doctor ordered. 5 STARS on the RTL

I have been watching several videos of the Ridgeline lately and yours is quite frankly the most detailed and informative so far. Keep up the good work and I did subscribe.

Very thorough review. This was great

Great video very informative . The Sonic gray is very nice .

I really like this. Very awesome review.

Awesome job Kenny.

Fantastic comprehensive walk-around review! Wondering if that hitch and 7 pin setup is a standard or optional item with the 2024 RTL?

Had an 06 that I was very happy with. Have a 23 now. So far so good.

I wish Honda would give it at least 8 inches of ground clearance.

Honda is the king of miniature infotainment

Great review Kenny! This would be my choice if I was looking for a truck. For me the full sized ones have gotten too huge. That trunk in the bed is so great as well. Hope that you are doing great!

My favorite truck! Great ride and reliability!

This vehicle is for people not wanting a truckie-truck. It's good for what it's intended for. I like it!

Awesome video! I am eventually looking to get my first truck and am leaning towards getting a Ridgeline. I am looking for something as a comfortable daily driver; survive through the Pennsylvania snow; drive passengers around here and there; and able to haul my fishing gear and a 9.6ft kayak in the bed.

Full-sized truck owners are trading in for the Ridgeline. They dont need all heavy duty.

For me, it must have power folding side mirrors which are only found on the Sport or Black additions for 2024.

That is a nice looking truck for the money. Great review.

Brown interior is available with certain exterior colors on the RTL. I built one online.

RTL comes with 3 interior color options. Grey, Black, and Brown. However, each is dependent upon the exterior color selected. Some exterior colors only give you the option for 1 interior color.

You can get the RTL with a coffee brown interior, but maybe only with the white exterior? It looks way better in person than I thought it would.

I have a 2023 RTL Ridgeline in the now-dropped Obsidian Blue Pearl and really love the truck. I'm just a casual hauler so I'd rather have a comfortable ride all the time than go for a body-on-frame truck with a roller coaster feel on every drive. While the price of the Ridgeline is comparable to other mid-size pickups similarly equipped ($40,000 - $50,000), i wish Honda would lower the price about $5000 per trim to really jumpstart sales. Honda sells only about 5,000 Ridgelines per month in the US while the Tacoma and others like the Colorado sell in the 10's of thousands. In short, ALL trucks are overpriced because the carmakers can charge whatever they want. Looking forward to a hybrid powertrain someday.

I have a 2012 RTL. It has I think 8.2 inches of ground clearance. I love the truck but agree with many people that the truck would be perfect with around 9 inches. It sucks they have gone down in clearance. I’m not someone who believes in putting lift kits on vehicles and then stuffing larger tires on there. Most lifted trucks have LESS capability (towing, load) than OEM. I mean, the engineers have got it figured out for maximum gas, mileage and everything. I just wish they would have an option from the factory if I ever desire to buy a new Ridgeline for factory higher clearance.

I really like this truck it looks good. Yes I know it’s not like your traditional pickup truck from Ford, Chevy and so on but not everyone needs a big truck like the F-150. But now the things I don’t like about the Ridgeline. The push buttons for the gear selector. If Honda did this to make it easy to reach for your drinks or whatever you might have on the console why not put the gear selector on the column that would solve that problem. Next, why did Honda do away with the temperature gauge on the instrument panel? I think that was a stupid move on their part but I guess they did it to save money. I guess they want to go back to the old days when cars had idiot lights that would come on when it was too late to save the engine. So for now I’ll just wait maybe next year’s model Honda will make better changes and bring back the temperature gauge and do away with those push buttons or maybe move them to the dashboard area. But I won’t hold my breath for that to happen.

Yes of course and this is my first new truck.

Do they come with the CVT transmission that's the only thing I do not like

Stop signs mean stop!

Does the tailgate lock?

I wish it was body on frame truck. Great review. Greetings

a shame no more RTLE, this needs a few more features

Will a full size spare tire fit?

That

Yeah I think I whould have a new ranger or canyon over it

We really like our 2 3:00 020 Black Edition, You don't need a large screen, Unless You think over $3.000-$7.000 is cheap for some of the large touch screens.

Ford has a 13.2 inch screen.

I don’t know what this current obsession with primer colored vehicles but I got over that in highschool in the early eighties

Im still floored they didnt use the pilot front end on it. Biggest fail from Honda in a while.

what a dumb steering wheel, its a 4 spoke but not really

...and no speakers in the bed anymore? Terrible!

Truck? Accord with a bed more like it!

What’s up is so outdated

I think the new 2024 Ford Ranger is better than this.

Too much money 20k max

Looks like a wimpy SUV again-sad

They ruined the tailgate with RIDGELINE; looks like crap!

An suv with the back cut off. Made for men not capable of handling a real truck.

Not a truck
