Honda Ridgeline tips and tricks to features I found in the manual 

I got mine a month ago 2012 rtl and dis shit got the dealership guy shook lol

Just learned something new myself!

@@henryc1793 hahahah can't imagine that

I have a 2008, it's 2019 😂😂😂

That's honda for u!

I have a 2007 RIDGELINE with 168,000 miles. I was wondering when do I need to change the timing belt❓ I heard every 100,000 miles. But I have a buddy that hasn't changed his timing belt and his Ridgeline has 140,000 miles and still going strong

@@tumarbongrox6074 I just changed my timing belt on my 2007 Ridgeline @ 146,000 miles. The information for that particular truck and year is to change it at 120,000 miles. The belt still seemed to be in decent shape and I'm sure it could have gone on for quite some time. The big risk in waiting is if it does break then you will likely cause severe damage to the engine because some of the pistons will collide with the open valves. While changing the belt it is also a good time (because it is all exposed) to also change the water pump, the idler pulley, the tensioner pulley, and the hydraulic tensioner. It doesn't cost that much more. When I changed all of those parts they all seemed to still be in really good shape but when I was done I couldn't hardly believe how much quieter and smoother the engine was and even smoother driving. I was feeling some vibration in the steering wheel before and now that is completely gone.

@@tumarbongrox6074 You should change it every 100,000 miles. It will last longer than 100,000, but it will eventually break. and when it does it will total your truck. Change the timing belt every 100,000 and it will run forever

Tell me more.

Cool

It also locks when you lock the car tho...

Going to follow these steps when I set it up

Same with all Hondas

Thanks

eviltig you have to click on the comments text body to reply

:) yep, it's working!!

Aron Racoma isn't that what the panic button could do? Lol

I like the option of all the doors staying looked after you park. the GMC all the doors unlocked when in park, that is a great opportunity for someone to run up on other side of truck, open door and now you're getting robbed.

Hey did you ever test drive it? Looking to get one myself

+Andy Maccani Awesome! Glad it helped

Andy Maccani can you lift the bed up to get to the spare,you didn't mention it probably you already know hmmmm.

I'm still rockin my Ridgeline man. I always say if it dies or gets totaled I'll by another one. :)

Even if you blow up the motor? I allegedly abused my truck and had a head gasket melt down with 56K on the engine. Even though it was still under warranty Honda of America deemed abuse by me and I was out the cost of a new engine (13K) Love my truck, but I was wronged of so I still believe, be careful.

mm pp I wonder if maybe you had a bogus dealer. but thanks for the heads up I will keep that in mind

jonquelle sanders definitely should!! I purchased a 2013 Ridgeline and I call it my perfect riding truck!!

I have owned my 2008 RTL for 2 years now and I still love it. Supposedly they have something like a 90% owner retention rate. Meaning 90% of the people that buy them keep them. I had a 2005 Element before this that was totaled in a rollover accident. I loved that vehicle too. If my Ridgeline gets totaled I will definitely buy another one. Honda engineering is spectacular.

Right. I have the same & it feels like the 91 Pathfinder, which hugged the road like the 82 Lincoln. Only thing I don’t like is the lack of clearance underneath.

@@sunshine3914 Just that it opens and closes with the switch on the driver's door. My warning indicator only shines and buzzes if you shut off the vehicle with that window open. Double click door unlock on your fob and hold, the windows all go down. Same on driver's door key receptacle.

Lisa Vasil I just found the off/on lock/unlock button for the trunk inside the glove box on the left. It's black on black so I never saw it.

Battery went dead can you tell me the code to get the he radio and GPS Back on

Yeah, that happens to me too. I'm on my 2nd Ridgeline, and check cargo lights directly now.

Altho the BMW Dealership didn't even know about the Secret Bed. lol

yes

270,000 MIles on mine, no major problems so far

I have a 2006 with only 80,000 miles. 😂

yes, the ridgeline is very very reliable.

Just purchased a nice '07 with 191k miles

Queen23

you can't its a safety feature. I assume some some kid got his head caught one time and remote window raise is now longer a feature

+Michael Webb Awesome man, I still have mine and planning on keeping it as long as it will let me :)

Me too, I love this truck! I had an Element before this and I loved that too, but I wanted V6 power and a bit more storage room, so I went to the Ridgeline when my Element was totaled in an accident a few weeks ago.

Me too now its 14 years old 48k

This question goes out to everyone especially those who own honda ridgelines between 2006 and 2012. Thanks.

the headlights takes a couple seconds to shut off...it stays the same with the hid retrofit i have

@@RaY_77W so the headlights only stay on for seconds not minutes? Thanks for your reply. In a police interview George Zimmerman told investigators that his Honda Ridgeline's headlights would stay on for a long period of time after he left his truck to follow Trayvon Martin.
