  2. Second Generation Ridgeline (2G 2017+)
    Recently purchased a 2019 Sport, love the truck but confused about the transmission cooler. Honda website says all 2019 AWD models feature a “heavy duty transmission cooler” (I think that’s the term they use), I see the same statement everywhere I read. I have seen photos of Ridgelines with the...

    i wouldn't try to run a circular saw with this, but for small air pumps and phone or laptop charging, it seems a good workaround for me. fwiw, ymmv, etc. :) this was originally my comment over at ericgu's great, detailed post about adding a wired inverter in the cubby storage box in the bed, to...

    I just bought a used 2017 RTS with two wheel drive. I'd like to occasionally tow a very light trailer. I know I can only tow 3500 pounds anyway, but I'm talking about a flatbed trailer built to haul and inflatable 6 or 8 person raft. The truck does not have the tow package. My understanding...

    Greetings fellow Ridgeline owners. My wife and I purchased our Ridgeline last year and have enjoyed it so far (my 3rd Honda) I see there are a couple of other users who own Intech Sol Horizon trailers so that's nice to know as we also own a 2022 Sol Horizon Rover. So far the only issue we have...

    Briefly towed today for the first time. 77F ambient temp, low altitude (roughly 500' MSL). CURT Echo brake controller, Car scanner for dashboard. As soon as I hooked the trailer up and took it for a brief test drive at around 2500# load, ATF temps went from around 155F to 175F immediately and...

    Just bought a 2017 RTL-E. Can't seem to find a way to get the back up camera from going crazy/ beeping the proximity alert because there is a camper attached and I'm backing up. Thoughts?
  10. Second Generation Ridgeline (2G 2017+)
    I keep seeing conflicting information around the hitch weight and tongue weight, and I'd love any help! I'm looking to purchase a trailer, and noticed the hitch weight rating says 500lbs on the truck, but the owners manual says the tongue weight is 600lbs when only 2 passengers in the vehicle...

As a reference, up to this point I was using a 2001 1500 Silverado with 5.3L V8 as the tow vehicle. I know the...

Did great, about 15mpg (mostly highway speed 65-70mph) and brake controller had me confident in the safety of the whole rig. The beach we camped on had a soft...

    My wife and I towed a minimally loaded 4500 camper for 3800 miles over 34 days from North Carolina to Maine and back with a 2020 Honda Ridgeline RTL AWD. The RL had no difficulty towing using a Camco load distribution hitch with sway control. I could easily go 65-70 miles per hour on level...

    Hello everyone, I am soon getting a 2022 Ridgeline Sport and am researching some overlanding mods. I was wondering of any issues caused by the skid plates (especially the rear diff skid plate). The front skid plate has cutouts for cooling, but the rear diff skid plate doesn't. Does this cause...
