Re: If you could ask Honda one thing about the Ridgeline...

Why not pre wire accessories like the hitch and backup sensors / camera so half the truck doesn't need to be taken apart to have them installed. I realize there is a cost associated with factory installing wiring that may never be used, but given the # of hours required to do these types of installs after it leaves the plant..... has someone done the cost comparison calculation?

TOTALLY AGREE

I took me a while to get the first rivet nut to to install, the second one took just a minute. Why try to hold a dealer install monopoly with your $60 install tool when you could just as easily install this nasty rivnut at the factory for us.

Unhappy Re: If you could ask Honda one thing about the Ridgeline...

Love my truck but, one BIG safety item missing that is on all the other Honda's that I presently own (Ody and RSX) or have owned (CRV) and that is the right column stick. Pull and the wipers do one stroke and you can do this without removing your hand from the wheel. Now when we have a light rain, I have to remove my hand from the wheel and then reach down to the stick and twist. Not very convent while driving on the freeway. You had a great thing going. Why change?

Re: If you could ask Honda one thing about the Ridgeline...

Ok, I have another question for Honda, I know, it is the same question that every other Ridgeline owner with the Navi system has, I just want to make sure that really hear us:

I - W A N T - M Y - T R I P - C O M P U T E R - B A C K !

I think the person at Honda that made the decision to cut the trip computer doesn't have a basic understanding of what the navi system is or how it works. For them to cut out such an integral part of the system is proof.

I know there's talk of a class action lawsuit at one Odyssey site (Honda screwed most of them too). Maybe we'll eventually end up with a lawyer that will cost Honda so much money that they'll wish they never took such ignorant actions to start with.

Re: If you could ask Honda one thing about the Ridgeline...

1. Why not have the truck TRULY tow ready.
2. Why ESPECIALLY on the RTL is the passenger seat mechanically adjusted and not a power seat? My husband's 24,000 Accord has power seats, my Trail BLazer had power passenger seats, why not this truck?
3. why not have mud flaps on all 4 wheels? Seems dumb to me <shrug>
4. TRIP COMPUTER????

Re: If you could ask Honda one thing about the Ridgeline...

If Honda really really feels they have the best in engineering then why not back it up? I was surprised to find out how short term the factory warranty was on the vehicle was when I bought it. Competitors are going for 10 yr / 100K miles standard - its time Honda stood behind its machine.

PS: I would likely have jumped to a buying decision faster if the warranty had been offered.
