Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Honda Ridgeline

You ain't never had the pleasure of a portagee split tail.

LOL!
Good one 😂

Another what.

I’ve owned two. Bought the first one new in 2008 and traded it in ten years later on a 2019. The first replaced a regular cab Dodge Ram 2500 shortly after our second kid came along. Only maintenance needed other than regular oil changes was a set of front brakes on the 2008. We don’t rack up many miles but tow a 20’ camper and occasionally I’ll haul my Massey 1532 compact tractor around, no issues. The trunk in them is handy as hell.

To be clear, I live somewhat out in the sticks and own over 100 acres that allows me to shoot and hunt out my back door. Never been mistaken for a yuppie. A Honda Pioneer 500 sits in the garage with the Ridgeline and a Civic. Drama free machines.

I’d rather Subaru Baja but I’d let my wife drive one.

Seems this is an appropriate rear-window sticker for a Ridgeline…

My father in law, he’s not super sharp, and his second wife showed up at our house down here in OK when they moved out of Alaska. They were driving a Ridgeline with the back seat full and the bed and roof piled high with crap like the Clampetts heading to Californy. Oh and they were dragging a 24’ bumper pull camper trailer. How the hell they didn’t fry a transmission or otherwise break something I don’t know but they hung around a couple days and resumed their journey to Florida.

I wouldn’t have been super comfortable with all that schit and the camper on my F250.

I had one for two years. Rather useful for Home Depot or mulch runs. Very comfy to drive / ride. I’d probably still have it but Carvana game me $300 less than I paid new and drove for two years. I took the money and ran. I’m an old fart and don’t need to impress anyone driving a Raptor or other typical overpriced real truck. Fire away keyboard warriors!

This one takes the cake.

My son is on his 2nd Ridgeline in probably 10 years. He likes the vehicle and hasn't had any issues I'm aware of. He drives the snot out of it. A sample of one.

not interested

Had a customer, oh, about 15 years ago that had a Ridgeline he put about 1300 lbs in the back and hung a 5K trailer behind, and drove from Portland, OR to the farm in Idaho (700 miles) and back, every week for a year.

I told him it wasn't going to work, but he proved me wrong.

It is always the case in vehicle threads here that a lot of people have tied up their masculinity with what they drive instead of their own capability.

Getting approved for a (((loan))) on the right vehicle is easier than earning it.
