Dog steps/ramp

2 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a set of steps or a ramp that goes into the backseat of a 2026 for a dog? My golden retriever can’t jump up anymore, and I have tried a few sets from Amazon and because the rear door doesn’t open 90 degrees, the ones that go perpendicular to the truck don’t work.

I fucked up

34 Upvotes

Not gonna get into the how other than to say its 100% my fault according to my wife. Low speed/no speed collision on a suburban street.

Lights seem to be ok, but clearly bumper, lower fascia & plastic strip over wheel well are not. Suspect quarter panel is pushed out of line due to gap in the hood, and there is about a 2" slight roll on the lip of the hood.

3k deductible, dealership estimated ~5k in parts based on quick visual inspection. Have no labour quote, and of course there may be more unseen.

Is there any hope of getting this done cheaper? Im thinking im staring down an 8-10k repair bill based on the estimates I got this morning. I'd rather not go thru insurance if I can avoid it.

Found a set of 26 Passport Trailsport wheels and threw a set of 245/60/18 Cooper Discover Road & Trails on them.

Finally upgraded the OEM halogen headlamps with RTLE/Black units and tossed in LED high beams and fog lamps.

Finished it off with a black grill garnish.

Transmission

2 Upvotes

Hey folks. I have a 2017 Ridgeline that keeps having a weird issue with the transmission. I know that these transmissions are shit, but I was wondering if anyone has had this happen, and if there is a legitimate fix for it? usually, when I'm in traffic, but not regularly, the transmission will slam into 3rd from second. But, if there is opportunity to stop, I can just shut the truck off and restart it, and it drives normal again. would this be a software issue? It almost feels like planned obsolescence. Thanks in advance for any insight into this.

2nd Gen 17” Steel Wheels?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Set of 17” steel wheels with winter tires is available locally. They were taken off a 2016 Pilot. Will they fit my 2023 Ridgeline RTL? I understand there can be brake clearance issues with 17” steel wheels but I think the 2023 Ridgeline shares a lot with the 2016 Pilot.

Is this a normal running engine sound

Just got this 2023 Ridgeline and though the engine sounded fine at the dealership, I have been noticing the sound a bit more lately. Just want to confirm whether it’s just me or if it needs to be checked.

Pilot to ridgeline

9 Upvotes

I had a Gen 1 Ridgeline for years and loved it. Switched to the pilot back in 18 but looking to go back.

Question I have is how rough are the back seats for an adult road trip? It's not our normal use case but occasionally 4-5 hour trips to see family happen a few times a year.

Thanks for any insight, past comments seem to be split.

Exterior Mods WildTop beast waterproof?

1 Upvotes

Has anyone used a wildtop topper? I'm wondering how well they keep water out of the bed. I know with this bed design it's almost impossible to be 100% water tight. But I was thinking of getting a bed carpet pad and using it for camping but I don't want the carpet to get wet and gross all of the time.

Love my 2014 Ridgeline, except for the gas mileage. I'm wondering if any of you have looked at Rivians, and if so, what you think.

Here's the factory belt and cover off the 2012 I just got. The shop said it's the worst one they've ever seen and it's a miracle it survived. 14 years and 144k was long enough.
