Sorry Honda, it's just too little, too late
 
Tell that to the dealers, who in my area, have no problems selling each and every Ridgeline they have, and I believe that's without rebate checks in the glovebox.

"I don't know how I would put up with with the ridicule from the guys I work with if I showed up in a 4 wheel drive Japanese El Camino!"
 
Yes, this is always one of the major factors I consider when purchasing a vehicle. It doesn't matter if it meets my needs or if it's a good value, but the number one most important criteria to me is what people will think of me as they see me driving around town.
 
It's a vehicle. An appliance. A tool to get a job done. I have never been able to understand why the peer pressure thing mattered so much to some people.

Japanese? It is more American than a lot of the big 3 pickups. It is designed and built in USA for us. Let people ridicule.

This sounds more like an argument most suited to 1979 than 2007. Japanese are old news. In 7 years or so the Koreans may have a competitor for the F150 and Tundra. A few more years later the Chinese may be in too. Ford may well merge with Nissan etc... Oh brother....

Off Road Package? by atlgaxt

Sorry if I have missed something, as I have not been closely following this board for the past six months or so. In any case, I think it was about a year ago Honda had a design exercise for an Off Road Ridgeline. I think it might have been for the SEMA show or something similar.
 
Has anyone heard about an off-road package for the Ridgeline? I could get by without a low range, but larger and more aggressive tires, and about a 2" to 3" lift along with some skidplates would be useful. All the other manufacturers (Japanese and American) seem to offer such packages on their trucks. Without it, I am not sure the Ridgeline would make the short list...

I guess Honda could introduce anything eventually. I haven't heard of anything this year.
 
 Since Honda only expects to sell 60-80000 of these things a year its pretty targeted to its market. If one looks at what 80-90% of the public needs and uses in a medium truck with a 5 ft bed Skid plates and optimization for heavy off road use is overkill. The other 10% may obviously look elsewhere.
 
Happy Hunting

Auto door locks by tacoridge

Two questions.
Does anyone know if Honda ever got a fix for unlocking all doors when putting into park?
 
Using the direction on pg 82 to lock at 9 MPH just does not seem to work. The original manual instruction worked and then I changed setting. In the mean time Honda sent a new manual (because of the misprint ...1st question) and I am wondering if they got a misprint on these instructions.

I'm not sure, because my 2006 was built after thay changed this, but I thought a Honda dealer would change this for you if you complained.
 
It involves more than just 're-flashing' the computer chip, I think there is actually a wiring change to a fuse box.
