2021 - 2022 Honda Ridgeline Tips and Tricks

[@WilliamGriffith]

Just bought a 2022 RTL-E, I was impressed with comfort driving it home

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

Congratulations on your new Honda!

[@michaelfrench3396]

Me too! I test drove a Toyota Tacoma and found out I couldn't get one until mid-March went across the street to Charlie's Honda, and they had three Ridgelines and I test drove. Drove one of them. Came back with my wife and we put money down and bought us a truck. We didn't take delivery for 4 days cuz we were waiting for it to get delivered. It's cobalt blue, and we got a blizzard the day after I picked it up. Up. I'm a machinist in Maine here and I work weekends so the Friday that I first had it was our first blizzard with it and she drove like a champ! It's the nicest riding pickup truck I've ever had and more utilitarian than any other truck and its class far and away!

[@indayshulfer816]

Me too just it last Friday 2022 we love it

[@michaelfrench3396]

@@indayshulfer816 I just packed mine for my first vacation with my wife in 3-year-old and between the room and the back with the seat up that I don't need for the car seat and the in bed trunk, there is nothing in the bed of the pickup truck. And the only difference when we go camping will be that I'll be towing my boat and the bed will have room for all my fishing tackle. I feel like Honda did a lot of thinking and pulling a lot of people to see what features work. What didn't work? What people wanted what they didn't want and they did a real good job integrating those wishes. Oh and it's stupid fast 😂👍

[@amedeoviola]

NGL ...at first I was like ain't no damn way. "It's not a real truck" etc etc...... One year later, and I am on my 2nd not real truck!

[@carleygraham8075]

Great video! Just a couple of points: -for the walk away lock, sometimes it doesn't function properly, but the truck will tell you as soon as you shut the door. One beep is all good. A stuttering beep (I call it the truck yelling at me) and it WILL NOT LOCK when you walk away. You have to either hit the lock button on the door or on the fob. The feature resets the next time you turn the truck on/off. - for the all doors unlock, that is not a recommended setting for solo-safety. If all the doors unlock, anyone can hop in on the other side of the vehicle. I always set the auto unlock to JUST the driver door, and then hit the unlock once my door is open. Getting a little soggy isn't going to kill anyone. LOL

Chris, I was also surprised (but not surprised) to find after putting my Truck in the shop recently for general maintenance, oil, hood recall, et., I reported a possible lt rear door actuator , inop. to the service advisor at the local Honda Dealership, the Service Advisor noted that the Tech. reported a child safety lock was engaged and that caused the door not to unlock. I was pretty sure that was NOT the initial problem as I checked that several times prior to putting it in the shop. Then I saw your video and noted that I might go into my "door lock" settings and clear that lock and all other locks to release or lock , when utilizing the Fob. But then I thought many Techs and Advisors might be new or switching Dealerships with the recent COVID shock... I was once a service advisor for Ford Dealership abt. 32 years ago, my own self.

Chris, just aquired a very young 2020 ridgeline, still in the learning curve and I have a couple questions that I have been unable to self answer. 1. I notice Honda uses garmin for navigation. How do you obtain updates for the map database and is it a fee based update? 2. I have a problem with smartphones. Because I only have one arm I have trouble scrolling across the face of a smart phone without dropping it therefor I use a semi-smart flip phone, specifically a kyocera e4810. Though it has internet, hot spot and bluetooth capabities it is technically not an android. Seems like I can only partially pair it with the truck, for example, contacts are not accessible - any thoughts? Your videos have been really informative thus far and I look forward to more Thanks so much!

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

Thank you for watching

Vastly improved from the 1st gen?.... cause the only styling difference between this and the previous gen is they squared up the nose trying to make it look like every other Truck out there.

[@PaulSter]

@@steveo4141 more changes than that. And whatever you think of the styling, the soft look of the previous gen was much too soft for my taste. Apparently, the majority of the public and the reviewers feel the same way.

[@steveo4141]

@@PaulSter don't see any other changes...personally I care more about performance...ride quality...resale etc than looks...the advantage of the "SOFT?" look visibility ( can def see better down the slope of the hood).... aerodynamics .. but no matter if a squared nose changes it from a loser to a Winner who am I to argue... it's sad people could not see past that and recognize what a great Truck it is.... after all it is so much more than its looks.as for the general public ...most of the general public that buy Trucks can't get past jacked up bricks on wide tires .. box on frame or die..😑.

[@PaulSter]

@@steveo4141 well, I think calling it a 'truck' is a stretch, but hey, nothing to be sad about. I'm guessing they sold about as many 1st gen Ridgelines as they hoped. And looks? Obviously subjective. I prefer a more rugged look myself. You? Perhaps not I'm guessing. No biggie. If you don't already own a 1st gen, I'm sure there are plenty of clean one out there with lots of life left in them.

I understand that there is a button only accessible when you have the glovebox open, that will lock (unlock?) the tailgate. Yes? Not inside the box but on the left, outside.

[@allenmay8850]

It's not for the tailgate. It's for the lockable trunk. So it can't be opened by the key fob. The manual tailgate opener is behind a keyed door below the tailgate that must be opened with the key from your key fob. Once you open that door, there is a cable that you can pull to manually open the tailgate.

That allows me to click audio and another click brings up audio on the screen. Then I can chose to go to Sirius or fm from there. This is where I wish the home screen would stay but I still have to choose the Sirius to bring up that screen from the audio display. That is where I wanted it to be and now all is ok till the next time I can't figure this crazy system out. Thanks for answering and I thank you for the videos, they are great.

Yes it does, just make sure that you're holding down the unlock button on the second click. Thank you for watching and congratulations on your new Honda

[@kathyzieger6207]

Can you have only the drive door open and not others unless you want them to.

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

Yes you can

[@joecorby1229]

Walk away lock… can you program both remotes to lock when you walk away or do we have to adjust the settings each time we use our own remote?

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

You may have to program each setting Driver1 or Driver2. Thank you for watching
