Expert Answers about Honda Ridgeline


  • Recommended 4-Way Flat Wiring Harness for a 2019 Honda Ridgeline
  • If you are looking for only a 4-Way Flat connector for your 2019 Honda Ridgeline then I recommend the Tekonsha T-One # 118778 because it has higher amp ratings than the Curt option and we have found the Tekonsha wiring units to be the most reliable out there. This connector gives you the basic lighting functions that you need for a smaller trailer and can be mounted using the Tow Ready # 18144 and a no-drill bracket like part # 18140. Since you have a pickup I do recommend installing...

  • Location Of Plug That Black Module Of Tekonsha T-One Connector For 2019 Honda Ridgeline Plugs In To
  • The connector pictured is not the correct one for the black module of the Tekonsha T-One Wiring Harness # 118778 to install into. The correct one will be located behind the access door in the driver side of the rear cargo area in your 2019 Honda Ridgeline, and can be seen in the included picture as the 12-pin grey connector. You will find it in the center of cubby and it will not be connected to anything. I went ahead and included a link to the written instructions for you to take a look at.

  • How to Secure Bikes in the Bed of a 2019 Honda Ridgeline without Drilling Into Truck Bed
  • If you want to avoid modifying the bed of your brand new 2019 Honda Ridgeline then I recommend going with the Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier # HRT970 because you can wedge some lumber in the bed of your pickup and then bolt this carrier on it (see attached photo). This comes with a 9mm quick-release skewer and is small enough that you can mount multiple bikes next to each other depending on their sizes. If you would rather keep the front wheels on your bikes then another great...

  • Recommendation for Sway Control Only that Allows Backing Up
  • I may have a solution for you, however there is not a standard friction bar available like the Reese # 83660 that allows for baking up without first removing the bar. For a sway control only system that you won't have to worry about when backing up the trailer, I recommend taking a look at the Tuson Electronic Sway Control # 335TSC-1000. This will mount on the trailer about 5 to 10 feet behind the hitch ball and be wired to the brakes and tow vehicle. The system senses when the trailer...

  • Tonneau Cover and Roof Rack for 2020 Honda Ridgeline
  • While you can add a tonneau cover and roof rack to your 2020 Honda Ridgeline, there are no ladder rack options available for this truck because the bed doesn't have the needed length. So the best option would be to add a tonneau cover and roof rack system to your Ridgeline. Let's start with the roof rack, and for that I recommend the option from Thule because they are extremely quiet, easy to use, and highly durable. The WingBar Evo crossbars are so quiet because they are aerodynamic with...

  • Where Does Trailer Wiring Install on 2019 Honda Ridgeline
  • I attached a picture that shows what both connectors on your 2019 Honda Ridgeline look like for installing the Tekonsha wiring kit part # 118778 that you referenced. The picture with the letter A on it is the 12 pin connector located near the back wall of the cab and the one with the letter D is the connector under the rear bumper by the driver's side.

  • Towing Mirror Recommendation for 2014 Honda Ridgeline
  • The CIPA # CM11301 is a fit for a Toyota Tundra, and won't fit a 2014 Honda Ridgeline. We don't offer a set of custom slip on mirrors for the 2014 Ridgeline, but we do offer a universal fit clip-on mirror from K-Source that I'd recommend. The # KS69ZR uses ratcheting straps to attach to your factory mirrors, which allows a tight fit with very little vibration. When a vehicle doesn't have a custom option available, these are our go-to recommendation. If you're wanting something a bit...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2014 Honda Ridgeline
  • You might be the first person to request a universal trailer wiring options verse a custom fit one that doesn't require splicing! We can help though. For a hardwired harness that does not require splicing, I would recommend the # 119250KIT as it basically can fit any vehicle due to it's universal nature. I would still recommend the # 118491 though as it's going to be easier to install and not require any vehicle wire splicing.

  • What is a Good Hitch Anti Rattle to use with Limited Space on my 2018 Ridgeline
  • I have a solution but I can't confirm that the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer II part # BX88224 will work on your 2018 Honda Ridgeline. Instead use the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2" Trailer Hitches part # RM-061. The Roadmaster work on just about anything because it can be mounted either way and doesn't require the space the Blue Ox does. I've attached the video I did on each for you to check out. I like them both plenty but the simplicity of the Roadmaster and it effect are hard to beat.

  • Availability of Hitch Adapter that Has Higher Hitch Opening without Cutting Capacity
  • The only solution we offer that is very similar to a dual hitch adapter that does not cut the capacity of the hitch at all is the Curt # D210 which gives you a second hitch opening higher than the ball mount platform below it. I attached a picture that has the dimensions of this adapter as well as a review video.

  • Could Rightline Gear Truck Bed Cargo Net # RL100T60 Fit 2019 Honda Ridgeline Truck Bed
  • The Rightline Gear Truck Bed Cargo Net # RL100T60 would be a bit bigger than you'd need for your 2019 Honda Ridgeline but you could easily tuck in the excess cover and also use the included cargo net to ensure that it would not come off or whip around in the wind either.

  • Adding a Brake Controller to a 2008 Honda Ridgeline with 5-Way Trailer Connector
  • If your 2008 Honda Ridgeline did not come with a factory 7-Way and you are not having the OEM 7-Way installed by a Honda dealer then what you will do is hardwire in a brake controller using # ETBC7. If the brake controller harness under the dash is fully functional then what you would do instead is use # 37185 and wiring kit # 5506. You would plug in the brake controller like normal but you would remove the blue wire from the end that plugs into the truck and instead attach it to one...

  • Why Can't Pop and Lock Tailgate Lock # PL8675 Be Ran to Trunk Release Circuit
  • The trunk lid release mechanism only works one direction. The reason you need to use a power lock and unlock circuit is that you want the tailgate handle to lock and unlock. The trunk lid only has one function which is to unlock. We always recommend going with the manufacturer recommended install instructions.

  • Pop and Lock Tailgate Lock Recommendation for 2019 Honda Ridgeline
  • The Pop and Lock Tailgate lock part # PAL8600 that you referenced does fit both a 2018 and 2019 Honda Ridgeline. I attached a video that shows the lock installed on a 2019 model just like yours for you to check out as well.

  • How to Pick Out Ball Mount for 2017 Honda Ridgeline to Trailer Level
  • The etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches # 989900 is designed to fit 2 inch trailer hitches which is what your 2017 Honda Ridgeline would have so yes this kit would work well. It comes with a couple different ball mounts which cover a few different rise/drops but the only way to know the best ball mount for a vehicle is to base it off of what would allow a trailer to be towed level. And since trailers come in various heights it's hard to recommend a ball mount first without knowing...

  • Help Finding Gray Connector on 2019 Honda Ridgeline to Install Trailer Wiring
  • The Tekonsha pictures in the instructions for the # 118778 don't do a great job at explaining where to look but the Curt T-Connector # C56365 instructions have some great pictures for this. I have attached a clip from the instructions which shows that the location is a little further back behind another panel just to the left of the green relays (pictures J, K, L, and M). I have attached links to instructions for both the T-One and T-Connector so you can compare them with what you see...

  • Recommended Single Bar Roof Rack for a 2017 Honda Ridgeline
  • The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar part # RRVA150B, and part # RRRLKVAH, and part # DK470 would allow you to mount a single crossbar on a 2017 Honda Ridgeline. This is a custom fit system that clamps around the door sills. It has a 165 lb capacity and will do a great job of providing support for longer items. It is often coupled with the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar part # RTL002.

  • Recommended In-Cab Controlled Snow Plow Setup for a 2008 Honda Ridgeline
  • We have several snow plows that can be adjusted from inside the cab of your 2008 Honda Ridgeline. For this you can choose from the SnowBear Personal Snowplow part # SB324-080, or the Detail K2 Rampage II Snowplow, part # K2RAMP8219. The best snow plow of these three options is the SnowBear Personal Snowplow. Unlike the other two choices, this snow plow sits close enough to vehicle to reduce leverage and strain on the plow, mounts, and vehicle. The in-cab toggle switch lets you raise and...

  • 7-Way to 4- or 5-Way Adapter for 2013 Honda Ridgeline w/Factory 7-Way and PWC Trailer w/4 or 5-Way
  • Yes, there are adapters to go from the 7-Way on your 2013 Honda Ridgeline to a 4- or 5-Way trailer connector on your trailer. A popular adapter for this situation is # 37385. It plugs into the 7-Way on the vehicle and has separate 4 and 5-Way ends on the other side for the trailer. You usually see 5-Way trailer connectors on boat trailers or any trailer that has an electric reverse lockout on a surge break actuating coupler.
