The Honda Ridgeline has a 2" lift kit with 265/70R17 tires, , originally the RL came with 18" wheels, sold those and got the OEM 17" rims to have a little more sidewall on the tire and a bit softer ride.

I was looking to see if the ridgeline had off roading potential, thanks to this video I can confirm I’d does what I want it to do. I hate the unreliability of jeeps and FJ cruisers are to expensive.
My dad owns a 07 ridgeline ive taken it mudding couple times and let me tell u i got out of some places i thought i was never going to im amazed of how capable it is!! By the way he has close to 300,000 mi on it!
Yeah, the RL is a very capable offroad truck, yes it has its limitations but other trucks also have limitations, i really enjoy driving mine.
Great vehicle 👍
I am still driving my almost 16 years old RL, best vehicle I ever owned !
I haven´t had mine for that long but have enjoyed it every single time i drive it :)
Another fantastic video! These are the best first generation Ridgeline videos out there...by far. The scenery, explanations, camera angles...it is all a real good mix. You are blessed to have that much beach without crowds to drive on. You have a lift on your Ridgeline, right? Nice to see how capable it is, and it sounds great. I've officially subscribed.
Thank you. Yes I have the 2" lift kit and 265/70R17 tires, could not be driving on this trails without the lift.
Sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Rylan Emery Instablaster :)
you don't let the AWD system engage the other wheels before you give up, just keep your foot in it!
Great job Escudería Balmaceda! Thank you for the explanations of when you switched modes and gears; it is very helpful to see how the 1st generation Ridgeline performs in those different settings. Question: Why are there no people enjoying the surf on the two beaches you drove on?
Your welcome. These beaches are not good for surfing, the waves break too close to the shore , there are other beaches where the waves are great and surfers go, but not these ones.
Also. If you see the tc light flashing, keep accelerating . It will shift the power if you keep going. Treat it like a really aggressive LSD on front and rear axles
Thamk you for the tip.
I believe the VTM-4 Lock does 60-40 rear- front bias and uses traction control to modulate left and right. Normal drive mode is the same functions as vtm-4 lock, just more front biased until slip is detected
It does feel a little difference when the VTM-4 Lock system is activated, on the manual says the power sent to the rear is about 70%, most of the time when i go offroad just drive on normal mode with the VSA off.
Yup, it’s 30 front and 70 rear tho Will Hutton.
@@RaY_77W thanks for the clear up. I’ve seen both sets of numbers on websites. I also wonder if we could do a gear reducer on the coupler to the diffs on the driveshafts. Use it only in first or second gear lockout like the vtm-4 system does. Would really make a difference since it’s an auto with no lo range.
@@EscuderiaBalmaceda I notice you drive with VSA off, often. Why?
Awesome videos!
@@nirvanwa in my case i deactivate the VSA because i like to have a bit more control on the truck, meaning i don't like the VSA limiting the truck by choosing which tire needs more torque. If you are driving on snow or icy roads then i would recommend to leave the VSA ON.
What a challenging terrain. Good video man.
thank you i hope it helps to show how capable the Ridgeline is in offroad terrain.
I’m sure you already answered this, did you have to modify the wheel well to fit these tires? I know you have a 2” lift.
👍🏻great video
thank you, soon i will be uploading another video, probably of the Ridgeline vs other 4x4 vehicle.
Thank you for using a gimbal on the camera!
Beautiful scenery. Certainly not here, U.S. as the area is pristine. Americans litter.
Thank you :)
If Honda made these vehicles with a capable off-road package option they would sellout of these all the time.
With better shocks and ground clearence would among the best 4wd vehicles
@@EscuderiaBalmaceda 🙄with locking center diff, no.
Buenas tardes señor. Oiga quisiera que me informará sobre una camioneta que acabo de comprar usted que sabe sobre estás camionetas. Es una Honda Ridgeline 2006 . Hay un foco que no se le apaga del tablero es del 4×4
Did you have to grind the wheel wells at all to make the 265/70/17s fit? Great video btw!
no grinding but they do rub on a full turn, no big deal, but if it bothers you the sound then you will have to grind or take off the mud flaps.
Cuál es el lift kit para levantar 3 pulgadas.. solo encuentro el de 2 pulgas.. me pueden apoyar?
Do your front tires rub at all? What lift did you buy....very nice
Yes they rub a bit on a almost full turn, they rub on the mud guards, i installed the traxda kit and i'm happy i did. The tires are 265/70R17.
@@EscuderiaBalmaceda after installing the lift do you still have the rub?
@@nirdvorkin135 with the 265/70r17 yes, previously had a size smaller and didn´t have any rubbing issues.
Baja California, poco antes de entrar a Erendira?? se me hace conocida esa area..
Es en Migriño, cerca de Cabo San Lucas.
Great video. Have you had any problems with the lift? I’ve heard that there can be problems lifting this unibody truck.
Thank you. No problem with the lift kit, all the opposite, it has helped me in difficult places and still drives very comfortable.
Here is a link to another video where i show a little driving on the highway with no problems at all.

What tires did you have? And did you run stock wheels?
Firestone Destination AT 265/70R17, the wheels are stock, i just painted them dark.
How many inches lifted? Getting a 2 inch lift kit installed on my 2006 Ridgeline as we speak
2" lift kit as well, it has helped me a lot while offroading.
@@EscuderiaBalmaceda Awesome! Anything else installed? Shocks?
I downsized from the 18" rim to 17" rim and put on a bigger tire 265/70R17
Where is this beach ?
Cabo San Lucas, México
I have a 18 RTLE and work in the phosphate mines. It destroyed my truck, DESTROYED. Don't take this off roading. Great truck otherwise.
This guy is driving on dry dirt trails, don't do real off roading.
Sorry to hear about your truck. I have been driving my truck on different types of terrains, the only challenges i haven´t been on is snow and rockcrawling, other than that i have been driving washboard roads, sand dunes, by the beach, over dry river beds, over arroyos, most of the Baja terrain available here close to where i live in the southern peninsula, so far the RL has been holding up pretty good, i know is not a Raptor, modified Jeep, or other "true 4x4 vehicle" but it gets the job done.
I believe the 1st gen ridgeline also has more ground clearance and better angles
Fail to see the problem. Nothing lasts long In phosphate mines. And he’s driving with in the limits of his vehicles capabilities.
