Expert Answers about Honda Ridgeline


  • Recommended Roof Rack For A 2019 Honda Ridgeline W/ A Naked Roof
  • For your 2019 Honda Ridgeline with a naked roof, you are unfortunately not be able to use the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack for Raised, Factory Side Rails TH7504-TH7504 as they are designed to be used with factory rails. Instead, you are going to need a different crossbar setup like the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711520 with the Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710501, and the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp and Edge Clamp Roof Rack Feet # TH79RV. These crossbars measure 60" long...

  • What is Needed to Install Brake Controller in 2019 Honda Ridgeline With Factory 7-Way
  • By "seven-ring connector" it sounds like you are referring to the factory 7-way on your 2019 Honda Ridgeline. The other parts you need to order will depend on the brake controller you plan on installing. My recommendations are the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 because it is the easiest brake controller on the market to use. If you went with the Echo # C51180 you would not need any other parts as this controller simply plugs into the 7-way on your '19 Ridgeline; the...

  • Parts Needed to Add 7-Way RV-Style Trailer Socket with 12V Power to 2014 Honda Ridgeline
  • The 4-pole flat trailer wiring harness you referenced, part # 118400, does not fit your 2014 Ridgeline. It fits only earlier model years. And please note that this 4-pole wiring format carries only basic lighting signals - stop, turn and tail - but does not include a provision for 12V auxiliary power for maintaining the charge on a trailer-mounted battery, nor for any other functions. A similar 4-pole kit that does fit your 2014 Ridgeline (without the factory tow package) is part # C55585...

  • Recommended Ball Mount to Tow a Trailer of Unknown Height with a 2017 Honda Ridgeline
  • Since you won't be able to determine the rise or drop you need ahead of time I recommend going with an adjustable ball mount on your 2017 Honda Ridgeline. My choice is the B&W Tow & Stow # BWTS10040B. It provides up to either a 7 inch drop or 7-1/2 inch rise. It also has the feature to be flipped under the hitch and stored away while not in use. This keeps it out of the way when accessing the bed of your Ridgeline. It also keeps you legal because some states have outlawed driving with...

  • Parts Needed to Tow Trailer with Electric Brakes and 6-Way Trailer Connector
  • What you need depends on exactly what you already have on your 2008 Honda Ridgeline. If the Ridgeline has a 7-way trailer connector already, you can use a 7-way to 6-way adapter # 47549. For a brake controller I suggest the Prodigy P2 # 90885. It's one of the easiest controllers to use and setup. If your Honda has a 7-way connector you'll also have the brake controller connector under your dash and can use # 3070-P. If you don't have the 7-way a controller will need to be hardwired...

  • Parts Needed to Add a Roof Rack on a 2018 Honda Ridgeline
  • If you would like to stick with the Thule theme that you have going then I recommend using a Thule roof rack system that uses the AeroBlade bars. For your 2018 Honda Ridgeline you will need 60" crossbars which is part # TH711500 for Silver or part # TH711520 for Black along with the Rapid Traverse Foot Pack # TH480R, and the Fit Kit # THKIT1811. The WingBar Evo bars have an aerodynamic design that cuts down on wind noise and drag compared to traditional bars. If you prefer the more traditional...

  • Recommended 4-Pole Wiring Harness for 2006 Honda Ridgeline
  • Since your light bar has a 4-pole connector you can install it most easily by adding Tekonsha 4-pole harness # 118400. This installs easily by plugging in to your Ridgeline's tail light connectors. No cutting or splicing is required. Please refer to the linked video.

  • Replacement Hubs for a 2007 Trailmanor Trailer
  • From my research your trailer likely has a 3,500 pound axle. Which means it probably has inner bearing # L68149, outer bearing # L44649, and the hubs have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. You definitely want to verify this before purchasing anything. If I'm correct then I recommend # AKHD-545-35-K for the hubs. Or # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K if it has an E-Z Lube axle that has a zerk fitting on the spindles. To determine if these are the correct parts you'll need to pull the hubs and check the bearing...

  • Thule WingBar Roof Rack for a 2009 Honda Ridgeline
  • I think you are referring to the fit kit. The correct fit kit for a 2009 Honda Ridgeline is # TH145191. These are what secure the Evo clamp feet, # TH710501, to the roof of the vehicle. Also, the bars you got, # TH711400, are not long enough. The correct bars are 60 inches long, # TH711500.

  • Should You Use A Friction Style Sway Control System On A Lance 1575 Travel Trailer?
  • Adding the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control # RE94FR is a great idea! With your trailer being pretty heavy compared to your vehicle, you are likely going to experience some sway while driving. This is why it'd be smart to invest in a sway control system, as this will provide a more enjoyable experience and this is what they're made to fight against. Additionally, if you do not already, you're going to need a trailer hitch # 13385, a ball mount # D320, and a 7-way...

  • Recommended Crossbars for a 2023 Honda Ridgeline
  • If you're adding crossbars to your camper shell, the lowest profile option would be the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells - Track Mount # Y02-480B-ST. These bars are going to be right around 4" tall, so just a bit out of your scope but if you're that strapped for space you're likely not going to be able to find anything that works. Alternatively, you could add the Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack # JB0190 which is going to be the lowest profile crossbars we have....

  • Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2007 Honda Ridgeline with an Existing 4-Way Connector
  • To add a 7-way trailer connector to your 2007 Honda Ridgeline our # ETBC7 kit will do exactly what you want. It's intended for electric brake controllers but not having a controller connected won't hurt anything. And if you install the # ETBC7 you'll already have everything you need to add a controller later. Another option is to install the adapter, part # 37185, that is included with the # ETBC7 kit and not connect the other three wires. This way you'll have a 7-way connector but...

  • Thule Foot Pack and Fit Kit for a 2007 Honda Ridgeline

This would include Thule WingBars, #TH711520 for black or # TH711500 for silver, Thule Evo clamp feet, # TH710501, and the Thule Roof-Rack Fit Ki, # TH145191. Each roof rack integrates together and aren't universal fits. They are custom for each vehicle.

  • Parts Needed to Install Tekonsha Voyager Brake Controller 39510 in 2006 Honda Ridgeline
  • If the Ridgeline has only a 4-pole wiring harness your brake controller installation will use our kit # ETBC7 which contains all of the other components needed, including a 7-way socket designed to easily connect to the 4-pole harness. This kit allows hardwired installation of any trailer brake controller, including the Tekonsha Voyager # 39510. A helpful article and video are linked to illustrate the installation process in a Honda vehicle.

  • Can a Prodigy P3 Electric Brake Controller Fit into the Mounting Bracket From a Prodigy P2
  • The Prodigy P2, part # 90885, and P3 part # 90195, have brackets that are completely different styles so they are not interchangeable. The P2 uses just U shaped bracket, part # P7685, that connects to the controllers pocket, part # 7686. The P3 also has a U shaped bracket, part # TK5904, but instead connects to a cradle, part # TK5906.

  • What Hitch Lock Should I Use With My Kuat Beta 2 Bike Rack
  • When it comes to locking your Kuat Beta bike rack to your 2 inch hitch I recommend The etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98881. Its made from steel and has a 3-5/8 inch span, with a 5/8 inch pin diameter. The Kuat Lock # HL2 will not work with your Kuat Beta, because it has a 1/2 inch pin diamter. I have linked a review video below.

  • What Custom-Fit Bed Mat do You Recommend for My 2017 Honda Ridgeline?
  • As far as a custom-fit bed mat for your 2017 Honda Ridgeline, the best option is the BedRug Custom Truck Bed Mat # BMH17RBS. This mat is constructed of carpet over foam which repels liquids. With this construction, the mats do not absorb water and they have the ability to resist mildew formation. You can also add the optional tailgate mat # BMH17TG. If you are in the market looking for a rubber construction, the only option is the universal-fit 6' Long x 3-1/2' Wide # DZ85009 or the 8'...
