Great video! Just a couple of points:
-for the walk away lock, sometimes it doesn't function properly, but the truck will tell you as soon as you shut the door. One beep is all good. A stuttering beep (I call it the truck yelling at me) and it WILL NOT LOCK when you walk away. You have to either hit the lock button on the door or on the fob. The feature resets the next time you turn the truck on/off.
- for the all doors unlock, that is not a recommended setting for solo-safety. If all the doors unlock, anyone can hop in on the other side of the vehicle. I always set the auto unlock to JUST the driver door, and then hit the unlock once my door is open. Getting a little soggy isn't going to kill anyone. LOL

Just bought a 2022 RTL-E, I was impressed with comfort driving it home

Nice video. I own a 2021 Ridgeline RTL-E and every time I watch a video, I learn something new. Your video was very helpful.

Just purchased a '21 Ridgy RTL. Incredible ride, comfortable, spacious, so under-rated! Very helpful vid to get me up & running. Previous Yota Taco owner here, ...newer trucks are so tight in the cabin w/ transmission hunting. Happy w/ my purchase, all the truck I cud ever want!

Glad to see Honda installed a tailgate lock on the new Ridgeline

[grride]

2022 Pearl Gray RTL-E ♥️ love it 😀 this was a retirement present to myself. Getting complements on the looks.

[johnfrancis]

Good video, thanks! I'm a new owner of a 2022 Ridgeline RTL, and I love the truck. So much to learn, though, and I picked up some good tips from your video.

[markdiloreto]

this is a great tutorial!! very helpful to new owners like myself....look, see, do...easiest way to learn. Thank you!!

[peppersaltman]

I just picked up the 2022 Sport. This is such a well-thought out truck.

[danbaisden]

[reecefordham]

Thanks for the awesome video! I just picked up a RTL-E with the fun HTP package. Learned some useful stuff!

[daleeclark]

I have a new Ridgeline. The dealer never explained anything. Thank you. DEC

Awesome recap on all the extras the Honda Ridge has, Chris. You may want to inform interested owners about extending the rear door opening with assembly / modifications.

Chris, I was also surprised (but not surprised) to find after putting my Truck in the shop recently for general maintenance, oil, hood recall, et., I reported a possible lt rear door actuator, inop. to the service advisor at the local Honda Dealership, the Service Advisor noted that the Tech. reported a child safety lock was engaged and that caused the door not to unlock. I was pretty sure that was NOT the initial problem as I checked that several times prior to putting it in the shop. Then I saw your video and noted that I might go into my "door lock" settings and clear that lock and all other locks to release or lock, when utilizing the Fob. But then I thought many Techs and Advisors might be new or switching Dealerships with the recent COVID shock...
I was once a service advisor for Ford Dealership abt. 32 years ago, my own self.

Just got a 2022 Ridgeline RTL-E pearl gray color. Really nice ride, comfortable seats, great features ( still learning what does what) drove it to work for first time today with some city and highway driving and got 25 mpg! The front windshield driving visibility is great compared yo previously owned vehicles.

[ChrisSkoog]

Great video- some familiar and some new ones for me! Great explanations and walk thru!
Keep on keepin on! From one Honda Chris to another!

[stuartdivebum]

It would be nice if you had a updated version of this for the 2024 Ridgeline

[petelippert]

Great video-i could use a little help with the auto play feature. I have the 2019 RTL-E. I am afraid I am leaving some features unused. Thanks for your help, Pete
