@@stw2186 No real difference other than the Trailsport suspension is softer and it comes with AT tires instead of street tires. It's not a true Trailsport in the way the new Pilot is, it's just a minor trim difference. The suspension isn't even any taller than the other Ridgeline trims.

It's crazy how everyone thinks they really need a full size truck when they don't. Unless you use the truck bed for work of course get yourself a full size. But for everyone else this is as much a truck you really need. I also had to be honest with myself, I'm not willing to go rock climbing with my 70K truck . The Trailsport is good enough to go to National Parks and hit the dirt. And with the money you are saving you can buy and tow your Polaris off-road vehicle with your Ridgeline and really go crazy rock climbing with it.

@tycheatham15947 ай бұрын
It used to be that way. Now for 24', only the Black Edition in the U.S comes equipped like the Touring and Black Edition Canadian models did prior years and currently. Before the Trailsport Ridgeline came about, the Touring model in Canada was our RTL-E model, but it still wasn't equally equipped as in Canada. Now (in the U.S) the Trailsport has replaced the RTL-E trim. Thankfully, Honda finally realized (at least on our top model) to add ventilated front seats and heated rear seats... as well as a few other options that were once only found on Canadian models.

All those features though are a gimmick nothing safety about that if anything they're very annoying and it's very technical and would be very costly to fix when it breaks, if anybody needs all these features to drive, then they should not be on the road driving, manufacturers are not thinking here don't put any of this garbage on, and the lower the price, I think when people look for a vehicle the number one thing to look for is price so get rid of all that garbage on there and all those sensors we don't need, if you are crappy driver even with all that technology and sensors you're still going to be a crappy driver!!!!!

I love the Ridgeline, test drove a 2019 model when I was buying new 5 years ago. Unfortunately the local Honda dealers just would not budge on price. In the end I couldn’t justify spending $10k more for what I wanted/needed. Ended up with a F150. Although I’m happy with the F150 and have had zero problems, it’s more truck than I need. Granted the pricing breaks I received in 2019 would be unheard of today. Ridgeline will certainly be on my radar again if I ever shop new again.

When I read last year that Honda was updating the model there was one thing I didn't see. The rear bumper, did they ever affix it (weld it) to the unibody? Co-worker had one (2021), and it actually tore out/off of it's plastic housing/clips. Honestly, never seen a rear (fake) step bumper on anything classified as a small truck at $40k+. and my buddy is like 160 lbs . Since I'm in the market and really like the Honda line, but this would be a deal breaker. Thanks
