Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. "You're not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that's going to be way more fun to look at everyday", I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

@generalcaeser9176 Год назад

The Ridgeline Is an amazing vehicle and would work well for 80% of the people out there. However, if you tow anything over a small trailer that weighs 3500 # or so, you're much better of in a Tundra. I'll bite my tongue on the Ford and the Chevy although older Chevys built between 1999 and 2006 were amazing! The reason I say those who tow are better off in a Tundra is that the Tundra is an actual truck with big robust truck parts and it was built for towing and towing often. If you're consistently towing in the Ridgeline, you're going to break something like a transmission or a motor pretty quick. Let me be clear and replete myself in that the Ridgeline is still an amazing vehicle but it's more car than truck. If you're occasionally bring stuff home from the hardware store or pulling your aluminum bass boat, then by all means, the Ridgeline is perfect for that and it does get noticeably better fuel economy over any of the other trucks. Trust me, I have owned many Tundra's, Ridgelines and Chevy 1500s (minus the newer Chevy's). There are great reasons to like all 3 as long as you are aware of each ones capabilities and make the correct decision that fits your needs.

My friend traded his in about a year ago for a new one. Only had 100k on it. I asked him why he traded it in, and he was like "Well, it was getting high mileage and had a little over 100k on it and was 7 years old". I about laughed because I'm like "You do realize that 100k on a Honda is nothing?" So he bought a new one -- at least he bought a Ridgeline and didn't cheap out and get a Chevy or something. Although recently he did buy a Ford Bronco (one of the new ones) which I think he will regret in a few years or when the warranty runs out (but he still has the newer Ridgeline). The Ford Maverick puzzles me. It's basically a car with a bed on the back (or an SUV if you think about it). But people are buying them and being like "I have a truck" (yeah, you do, but you're like a "wannabe" truck owner). AT least get a Ranger if you want a small truck and don't want the Toyota or Honda... at least the Ranger is built on a truck frame whereas I don't think the Maverick is or it's a less sturdy / perhaps partial frame given it's price and the size of the vehicle.

I remember a couple years back your saying that Honda's big vehicles (their truck, SUVs and minivan in particular) had problems with their transmissions. Is that still the case? Or is it a matter of you can get such a great deal on a used Ridgeline that the money you're going to have to drop into a new transmission later is still worth it? On the towing front, I'm assuming a Ridgeline would be adequate for towing a boat and a small camper? I've been looking at an F150 and a Tundra but I live in Honda town so there's a certain appeal to the Ridgeline.

You do realize this is the 1st Generation Ridgeline 2006-2014. It start development in 2001. The process to make a unibody pickup truck came a long way with years. The flying buttress I assume you are referring to. The 2nd Generation Ridgeline 2017-2023 bed is fairly normal its shallow but the truck is wider than Tacoma,Ranger,Frontier and GM twins Colorado Canyon. Remember that Ridgeline has a lockable watertight in-bed trunk with drain plug underneath its bed. You can cram an adult body inside of it. But I carry luggage or ice chest valuables.

No six passenger option like my F-150 means it's not an option for me... I do love Honda though, My S2000 and Civic Si have been great!

I thought TDC (top-dead-center) had to do with the timing of the engine, not the distributor....?

@3:30 - I would get OEM front axels. I made that mistake of getting after market and they were horrible. I swapped them out with OEM and much better.

@deddy7785 Год назад

I like them, also, especially the body style! The new one looks boxy, in my opinion, and I don't care for that at all.

You did a video three years ago talking about how the Honda ridgeline was not a good truck. Have you changed your thoughts? I’ve actually been considering buying one

I have a 2009 Hyundai sonata it's a nice car. It has never given me many problems at all it just has one annoying thing that no mechanic can figure out. My cam position sensor keeps tripping the check engine light. I have replaced both, I have replaced the map sensor. Another sensor. Still there. It comes on for a week or so then go's off then comes back on. Been doing it now 2 years or so. I have found I can actually get it stay off for quite a long time if I run 89 gas instead of 87 in the damn thing. Also seems to have an evap issue lately that comes and goes. This car is very temperamental. It doesn't know whether it's sick or not.

I make it a habit to change those cv joints both. Even if only one is bad. Same thing for wheel bering. Rotors so on so forth. If it's time for one to go the other one will be getting all the pressure and will grout shortly after. At least the last the last 3 cars my wife has destroyed lol.
