@donr8773 7 месяцев назад

@bsmith4u2 Great question. I owned the first Honda with cylinder deactivation. It was a 2008 Accord with a 3.5 liter engine that started using oil at around 120,000 miles. The car was maintained by the book, literally. By 150,000 miles it was using a quart every 1,000 miles. And it had several other issues. One being the front cam shaft had to be replaced because a love has become pitted. It was basically worthless at 150,000 miles. We “traded”, i.e. gave it to a Toyota dealer for a 2016 4Runner SR5 4WD. Which was a fabulous car and zero problems at 80k miles.

Admitted to haven’t watched the video all the way thru yet to see if he touches on this, but the Maverick is a compact pickup and the Ridgeline is a midsize, so they’re really in different categories.

@benjy117 7 месяцев назад

Maybe people up north. Most people down south haul something or tow something with it at least. Rather it be an R.V. , boat, trailer, etc. Everyone I know that has a truck hauls something with it. You don't buy a 1 ton to drive around in for sure or a 3/4 ton. A ridgeline for a uber job? Not the best choice for sure. A car like the accord or camry is great for uber trips because of the over 30 mpg on the high way.

@harristiller9631 7 месяцев назад

It tows over 5,000 lbs. That's 1/2 ton. What more you need unless for major construction or a 5th wheel type rv or gargantuan boat. Most truck owners don't need more hauling capacity. Most people with huge boats have a dock; most basic construction capabilities met - only major projects need more; and, unless rv living, majority of rv's (weekends, holidays) are 5,000 or less.

I was also a longtime 2004 manual 4-banger Tacoma owner, and when I got a new job that I had to drive through downtown LA all the time, I needed to go for an automatic truck when I got to 200K miles on my Tacoma. I test drove the Chevy Colorado, the Ford Maverick, a new Tacoma, and then the Ridgeline. I dont ever tow, I just move large furniture, tool boxes, or lumber for small construction projects, and go mountain biking all the time. The Ridgeline was the smoothest truck I have ever driven, it had more space, more storage space, more features, wider bed, and it got a lot better gas mileage than the competition. I average 20 mpg in the city. (I also still have my little Tacoma for dirty jobs - like going to the dump or getting 12 ft 2x4s)

A Ridgeline priced out at over $52 K. My Maverick drives very nicely, Ridgeline is nicer. Ford is good value for the money. If you keep them forever, Honda is probably a better buy.

So I had the radiator, alternator, water pump, PCV valve, steering rack, timing belt, Cracked hoses, connectors & all suspension components replaced, valves adjusted, & more and now I feel like it will outlast me. $7500 as opposed to $45,000 for a new Ridgeline & mine has a key instead of the push button start and none of the start/stop stuff. 6:49

It's done 600 miles one way pulling the trailer loaded cross country, no problem. The V6 does well overall and it is the best riding pickup ever owned. I've owned 1/2, 3/4 and now a 1 ton pickup, no comparison in ride and interior space. I have a neighbor with a 2020 Tacoma that I've been in multiple times and it feels dated and rides very harsh in comparison. I watched another youtuber who did an off-road comparison between the Ridgeline, the Tacoma and the Chev. It did everything the other two did except for a nasty rock crawl. Didn't want to risk it because it only has 9" of clearance. (who cares, how many people go rock climbing with these trucks) Deep snow, mud and hill climbs all done well. It even climbed one steep, rutted hill that stopped the Chev and Toyota! Honda went right up in it's standard all wheel drive configuration and stock tires. Amazing. This is my everday driver as well and it performs perfectly. It's a keeper for sure.

I have a '23 Maverick, Ecoboost, AWD and 4k tow package. At 1,300 miles, I got a warning light about it overheating, but it wasn't really. I took it for service and the dealer couldn't figure it out. One morning, at 3,500 miles, again it said it was overheating but I had just turned it on. 😅 I had it towed and the dealer replaced the EGR. It has 11k miles now and no issues have popped up so far. What issues are people experiencing with Mavericks?

They are great trucks. I bought a brand new 2013 Ridgeline and sold it to my son in 2019 when I purchased another brand new Ridgeline RTL-E. My son now has over 100,000 miles on it and it has never had any issues. I'm hoping the same will be true with my 2019. I have 24,000 on it now and so far no issues. These trucks will do what most people need them to do

@Guzzzr 7 месяцев назад

i picked up a 2024 Black Edition .. really great truck.. i dont tow or off road but the useability and practicality of the Ridgeline is great . it drives more like an suv..its quick comfortable and quiet. drives great... i recommend it for sure.. but if you have to tow more than 5000lbs and do real off roading then there are many other trucks to choose from.. the ridgeline isnt trying to be that type of truck.. its doing its own thing..
