L will upshift from 1 to 2. It won't go higher than 2. It will bounce off the rev limiter in 2nd gear. If you're driving 112 MPH (or any speed too fast for 2nd gear) and shift into L, the transmission will downshift only to the lowest gear that will not allow the engine to exceed redline, but once it gets down to 2nd it won't upshift.I have tested the low, It seems to be only gears 1-3. I may be wrong. Try it out. Jump in your G2 Put in low and see how many shifts, I only count 3 no mater how high you rev. Now put in D at 40mph drop it to low and see what the down shift does it will slow you down hard. Has to be 1-3 only. Some one else please verify.
Can you please post this info from the service manual ?The owner's manual currently contains incorrect information regarding the L position. It is described correctly in the service manual, however.
I can confirm that mine shifts exactly how the service manual describes.Thanks Zroger73 I appreciate it. Im still not sure that service manual is correct.
I would pay real, "American money" to be an invisible backseat passenger on that run to get the full range of their responses! ? On the other hand, given that their video is supposed to accurately reflect their responses, can we bug their offices or dispatch a drone to clandestinely eavesdrop on their off camera comments? Regardless, this is gonna' be fun. I'll buy the popcorn . . .I spoke with Andre Sminov from TFL Truck yesterday after exchanging some emails. We are trying to find a day next week for them to borrow my truck for a 5000lb Ike Gauntlet Run. I will keep you posted !.

Hidden camera style...
Im sure they wont mind if I put gopro in the backseat. Andre was pretty cool. I am hoping the testers will be Andre and Nathan. Nathan seems to be the most open about the Ridgeline being a capable Truck. Hopefully I wont regret it. We will see.now we're talking...hid-a-cam. even just audio! ssshhhh....don't talk about it.

*cringe* I could never do something like this. I don't even like dealer employees driving my vehicles a few hundred feet from the service entrance to the service bay! I'm the only person who drives my vehicles and I have to keep it that way to maintain what little sanity I have.I spoke with Andre Sminov from TFL Truck yesterday after exchanging some emails.

It's exciting that you're able and willing to donate the use of your vehicle, though!
