2024 Honda Ridgeline Trailsport Review: Still a Great and Practical Choice!

My new truck that I'm buying next week 🙌 🙏

Enjoyed the review, especially the insights comparing this drivetrain to the new Pilot. I was hoping VoV would do that acceleration test twice with the transmission selector in both D and S modes. I have read that S=Sequential mode, where the operator gets more control through paddle shifting and when the transmission does decide to automatically shift, it steps through each gear in sequence. Under hard acceleration it is unclear whether normal (D)rive mode would be any slower or faster. Whether it could skip any gear and spend more time sending power to the wheels.

Thank you! My seat of the pants feel is that S wouldn't change much in terms of ultimate acceleration. But helpful in specific circumstances, say pulling a trailer up a long hill.

I am looking to get my first truck & I am leaning towards a Ridgeline. However, I would go with the entry level Sport trim as it suits my needs; I would add the rear parking sensors as an option. This truck would be my daily driver, get me through the Pennsylvania winters, & be my fishing/kayak (9.6 foot) transporter in the summers.

I just bought a 25 Black Edition in sonic gray pearl. It’s practical and aside from the push button shifter, I’m pretty happy. The V6 has VCM, so I may install a VCM Tuner to disable the 3 cylinder mode.

No tow hooks?

Tailgate window?

Exactly my feeling and I will add I don’t like push button transmission as I have in my 21 accord. Deal breaker for me. 15:43 13:50 correct this and what you highlighted I will buy 25 version bu

i own a 24 BE . why does blind spot monitoring only work at 20mph or higher? its like now i have to also pay attn to my speed because BSM may or may not be activated. it should work from 6mph on up.. that would be most helpful.. another thing is that the Adaptive curuise control does not work under 25mph.. this should really be able to do stop and go or slow follow ACC... the front parking sensors are only in the corners, why does it not have front center parking senors too?.. this setup wont detect a parking pole in front of you.. and in my case where i have to do tandem park it does not detect my other car directly in front of it.. also why no optional 360 cam or at least the option of a front cam... at a MSRP of 46k these features should really be better sorted out.
