I was on a dirt road last week but there wasn't any mud or sand.. so I didn't have to use those modes.No one has dared to take their new 2017 RL off paved roads yet?
Too bad Northernlights did not buy one. He would have an off road report by now! >![]()
Me & my friends went out to our hunting land this weekend too clear approximately 3 acres & plant soybeans. Plus we did a little trail maintenance. If I would've bought a G2 it would've been there. We used my friends F150 on 34's to pull the cut up, 10' to 14' length, tree trunk & limbs across the creek & up the hill a little out of the way. When we started the tree removal I told my friend, now I see why you wanted me to ride with you because it's a light truck duty day. He said, this is one time I should've told you to drive to so I could watch you pull your truck in half.No one has dared to take their new 2017 RL off paved roads yet?

I would've taken that as a compliment that he thought the Ridgeline actually had enough power to accomplish such separation at the B-pillar. :nerd:He said, this is one time I should've told you to drive to so I could watch you pull your truck in half.
truckyeah has an informative article about that:What do we know about the differences between mud/sand/snow selections?
So, the best chance of having a bit of "juvenile fun" in the G2 may be intruckyeah has an informative article about that:

Here's How The 2017 Honda Ridgeline's Trick Off-Roading Modes Work
From here.I remember thinking the Chevrolet Colorado was a revolution in well-behaved pickup trucks when I first drove it over a year ago, but man, that thing feels as refined as a railroad shunter compared to the Honda. And by the same measure the new Toyota Tacoma might as well have been forged by hand at a medieval blacksmith’s shop.
from here.Most pickup owners will look at the Ridgeline and laugh, as they cruise around in their big, manly, full-size, V8-powered trucks, getting 12 miles per gallon because occasionally they have to carry a chair.
When in Sand mode, pressing the accelerator slightly gives immediate response to the drivetrain and starts the truck moving. Have to be careful to watch the speed so the truck doesn't jump past 15 mph limit on the beach.
How do you think sand mode would work for towing?...Sand mode might come to be known as "Sport" mode...
All I know is that it feels like over drive is turned off, there is a message on the screen that says something about traction control being reduced or disabled (allowing for some wheel spin I if needed I believe), the throttle is very sensitive, and the shift points are much higher.How do you think sand mode would work for towing?
Exactly. The G2 Ridgeline is the new sensation this year at GatorNationals.So if I understand you correctly, do you suggest using sand mode for drag racing?:wink:
