Lifted 2023 Honda Ridgeline HPD: Yes You Can Actually Lift A Ridgeline 

Most people are MUCH better served with this truck rather than a typical midsize. Its is super comfy on long drives. Its capable for most lower difficulty trails and the engine and drivetrain are VERY reliable and long lasting. Very underrated light/medium duty truck.

These are looking so much better now. I think it’s just after the Frontier for best looking mid size truck. Hopefully the Dakota makes a comeback to add to this market. Full size trucks are ridiculously overpriced today.

Perfect. A great vehicle all around. Mid sized trucks have been missing for years. Honda quality. Great AWD system great towing. I’m in. I’m tired of the big bulky trucks that never get used at all for most people. I go to neighborhoods and see these giant trucks that have not had so much as a cardboard box in the back. Lol

It has the biggest cab of any midsize truck. Most rear legroom as well near 37" rear legroom. Tacoma 32" Frontier 33" Ranger 34" Colorado 35" Gladiator 36"

Ben stated that he was reviewing the black edition with HPD. He was not. He was reviewing the RTL-E trim with the HPD package. You can get the Black Edition trim with the HPD package. If you get the Black Edition everything is blacked out. The Black Edition is a trim whereas the HPD is a package that you can get on several trims. The HPD package comes in black or bronze with the difference being in the wheel color. All of the plastic bits remain black. All trims keep the chrome regardless of HPD package. You have to get the Black Edition trim to get rid of the chrome on the Ridgeline.

The lift DEFINITELY adds to a better look. I owned 2 Ridgelines. 08 and 17. I am a Honda guy. I needed the power to tow so I bought a 2020 GMC AT4 Duramax. Be HARD to ever go back to a non-fullsize truck. I had a 17. 95% of that truck is identical to the one I had. Honda NEEDS to update the interior BAD. SAME dash cluster as a 17.

I’m a full size body on frame guy but I can say this Honda is so nice I can easily swing that way . I’m on the fence of being a Honda guy

Put a Traxda 2" lift on my 2022 Ridgeline. It's wonderful. There are downsides. First, gas mileage. The stock height for the Ridgleline is very Aero. The life will start to impact your gas mileage over 65mph. I also went for a 1" larger diameter tire. And I get rub at full lock in reverse (but not at full lock moving forward.. weird). My ground clearance is a clean 10" below the lowest part of the vehicle. I recommend the lift...

I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised when I drove one of these a few months ago. But not for 55k.

This is my dream truck! Amazing job Ben.

The price tag is still too high though, $50,000

Ben you should show the height difference between the two hpd truck that they have at the dealership

Needs bigger tires

It's too bad Honda doesn't take a que from this lifted version and offer a factory OEM lifted Ridgeline. In fact, an updated model would be nice with a more modern interior and a substantial off-road version. (Not this HPD decal crap.) C'mon Honda... You can compete with Subaru and Toyota if you really want to. Build it.

Ben I really wished you had done a full 360 and further away looks to really see the difference with the lift.

Also, the HPD grill is unique to the HPD and the Black Edition doesn't come with it unless you get HPD as well. Definitely like the black accents over the chrome, but the grill made it worth it.

If I was in the mid size market I would highly consider this truck with the lift. If It didn’t have the lift it would be hard pass as it just would not sit high enough for me.

We came to see a 2 inch lifted Honda . But we saw an interior?? 😅. Why not sure the lift and discuss how it’s done. How many times are we going to see a detailed explanation of the interiors that we have seen over and over. Wait please show the center console again! Lol.

Love the Ridgeline, but never for $54K! Yes, get rid of the chrome. Even the Black Edition has too much chrome. HPD Package adds no function. I would opt for 2023 Honda Ridgeline Black Edition with the Sonic Gray Pearl paint. And, possibly add the wheels only from the HPD package.

What's the out the door price in the current market?

The location of the spare tire seems clever until you have to change a flat and you’re hauling a load and have to unload it all!

I’m so wanting this truck perfect for me and my two cats and husband .

Love this vehicle, but that price is really tough to accept. At 50k, I'm tempted to just get a 4Runner.

Like it, 👍

I love the usability of the truck bed, and passenger space. The interior is okay but I just don't understand why this package has chrome in it. Also, the exterior just doesn't look all that great to me. If this had a more aggressive exterior and the chrome was removed, I may have considered this over my 22 Nissan Frontier. I'd love to see the Ridgeline go through a redesign. Also, the fender flares seem so beefy to me and look odd for a midsize truck. My biggest gripe with this truck is that is very expensive when compared to the other midsize competition like the Frontier, Tacoma, and Colorado.

Wait for a used one year old and get it a cool $10 to 13k off. That's what I did.

How about a lifted Passport TrailSport! I’m in!!

Nice but time for an update to keep up with Pilot's interior.

It does look better with a lift. Honda needs to give the interior more of a truck-like look. I’d like to see a regular center console with a conventional shifter and armrest. Ditch the van-like fold down armrests.

I hate the chrome and I read claims of the wireless chargers not working on ROC forum. I'm still interested in and waiting for the 2024 though.

Talk about the back seats comparison on different brands, it seems the honda has much more space than the others and no body ever talks about this

Love it

Good looking truck. I have a 2017 Silverado but I've been thinking about trading for something with a little better gas milage.

For such a smart company, Honda simply doesn't understand the average American truck buyer.

55000 is insane just get a full size truck that will do so much more I’m not getting why people will spend almost as much on a midsize truck that can do so much less,these Tacoma jeep and others don’t make pricing sense

does this void the factory warranty????

I do like the Ridgeline, but it's unbelievable that a 50k plus truck that has such outdated technology. No front camera or 360 camera and such an bad entertainment system.

... lifted¡¡! ...🤭

Chrome delete and it would look better..

I wonder if Honda will honor the manufacturer's warranty with this dealer modification??

5K for a 2in lift with tires. A 2in lift kit for the Ridgeline goes for 500 bucks. maybe pay someone another 500 for install. No way those tires are worth 4K

Do you remember what size tires? Thanks

I apologize if I missed it but, is that a manufacture lift or an aftermarket? Thanks

What was the ground clearance after the lift?

What brand lift is it?

Ridgelines are awesome, BUT It needs to look more like a truck and less like a car.

NEEDS cooled seats!

Well the 2024 ridgeline be total new redesign?

Omg every Ridgeline video this dude makes, he opens the "barn door" tailgate. Is every Ridgeline video the same from this guy?

Finally! Finally they started taking 🙌 customers 👏 options into consideration. Actually making upgrades possible... please 🙏 change the seating 💺 space upgrade 3-4 inches each chair the engine 3.8 /4.0 roof racks, Honda needs A Special edition model XL full size truck body and bed. 2024 needs bigger factory wheels and tires 😫 , the step bar. The truck bed Width and length needs 1foot each? Trailsport logo should replace the hpd and basic black edition logo Ridgeline blackberry . Custom design should definitely be available. The same engine and same interior design is getting old where is the 3 toned leather edition . Black /White/ red Grey/red/navy blue. Dark grey/skyline blue/peanut butter. Also Honda needs to add additional features under the hood like a cold air intake with the supercharger to boost the power 60- 75 more horse 🐎 power. More rooftop space to view from front row and rear row. 275/60/ 22R tires brackets to lock items down on the truck bed folding auto mirrors, sensored auto windshield wipers plus a portable Bluetooth speaker boom box that automatically charges once its placed back near the center console.

Why don't they make a lowered version ? Like toyota did with the tacoma xtreme . Nobody goes off roading, and even you could you wouldn't buy a truck. Atvs and side by sides are the way to go . Put a turbo on that v6 and drop it down. I would say 95 % of lifted up trucks never see trails or mud , the owner just trying to identify as a rough outdoors man . Honey it's time to go to Costco, ok dear let's take your big lifted up truck with mud terrain tires . Oh joy 😂

Looks like an SUV with a bed. I’ll keep driving my Tacoma !! But I don’t have nothing against Honda. They make great cars and SUVs with truck beds!!!!

How about Ridgeline in Trailsport trim🙌😎👊

Nearly $50K ? No way. Chrome ? No Thanks. As stated in a recent comment by someone else, Honda doesn’t understand the American Truck Consumer. It is a nice vehicle yet definitely misses the American Consumers expectations.

Nice truck but, too expensive for a small truck. For that price would rather get a full size truck ram or chevy

What lift kit was used to do this? Any information and cost would be appreciated! Thanks

It still looks like a car truck?

I have a Ridgeline and would not finance any and/or all accessories. Buy them outright.

$55K is too much, a nice full size truck can be had for that much $$$

Not for 55k

🔥👈

i need to pop that pimple

Not sure why, but the phrase “ And you guys can see” gets under my skin. Way to many times in one video. Pretty good review otherwise.

55k lmao. Gthoh

Meh

The Ridgeline is not a truck it's just a convertible suv

Honda keeps putting out some of the ugliest vehicles

Thats not a truck Ben, Please stop calling that a truck.

Needs bigger tires
