Honda Ridgeline Baja off road truck 2009 San Felipe 250

[171JUSTIN]

2:53 how the hell did a ford econoline get into the race????

[hooptytank]

@171JUSTIN In Mexico, bribe the right people and it's done ;-)

[uberjorge5737]

ridgeline crushes the competition with independent suspension

[Mercanyin2]

@uberjorge5737 Yeah, I had a huge arguement at my mechanic school with a guy over independent suspension. I said the best 4wd vehicles are made with independent suspension! Look at the Humvee!! Only reason trucks are made the way they are is so they can tow heavy stuff.

3 people listen to gay music while driving....

[powerstrokesmasher]

So a few are sick, that does'nt excuse the fact that most of them are garbage

[ANDROID72100]

i love 2:40 hilarious

[ANDROID72100]

i love 2:40, hilarious, love my ridgeline

[MOLRobocop]

Wow. I'd feel like a giant douche if a ridgeline passed me.

[carcrazy7777]

wow cool

[educortazarc]

LOL a Ford Econoline in the baja

[mclajam327]

honeslty my grandmothers stock ridgeline could do it better than that. js but shes crazy and has a few briancells missing:)

[draegonsan]

slow it won the race and the baja, and 2 others

[CFLKS411]

it seems sooo slow...i hate to bash on honda but c'mon. I dont race dirt or follow so maybe im missing something

[hooptytank]

@CFLKS411 Stock Mini class is not fast by any means

[hayhowrevop90]

@hooptytank is there any lift on it?

[MrConfusion15]

@hooptytank it is fast if you had a stock ford raptor. It finished third in that same class bro with a much better time.

[Mercanyin2]

@CFLKS411 Only thing that goes over whoops fast are motorcycles and trophy trucks.

[carcrazy7777]

its not the the 3.5l v6 in it is it?? if so what did they do to the engine??

[hooptytank]

@carcrazy7777 Cold air intake and eliminate cats

[silentfox8]

@carcrazy7777 it was a stock series event

[Mercanyin2]

@carcrazy7777 Stock J35A7, It has an air intake, headers, straight through exhaust and Hondata re-tuned the engine and driveline computers. Other than that, stock engine.

[coolgames14]

did u do any mod to the truck

[zpoyly]

the part of matomi wash is awesome but what i think is fucking stupid is the flamenco music that starts at 6:19 it doesnt makes sense this is not spain this is san felipe baja california MEXICO

[EpiDemic117]

The independent suspension on this truck makes a massive difference in climbing stuff than that of a solid axle.

[maniacoffroader]

I guess it all right for a Honda

[rbtracing]

dam.... what do i have to do to be able to run in the baja?  i want to do it so bad.

[hooptytank]

Get a race car/truck, sign up and pay. Finishing is another story....

[coolgames14]

does it blow ur radiator after half an hour drive in that desert or just overheated it ?

[hooptytank]

@coolgames14 Not really understanding what you're asking or saying, but it's the same radiator we've been running since 2005, no issues.

[justanotherjeff]

just go do it...anyone can enter..check out the move 'dust to glory'

[modyfyit]

hey gavin, we need more! facebook it, twitter it etc. get more of a following. honda may kick ya down 'a trans quicker when ya need it... hahah.. Did you get a video of the1000? PS: Athena says hi! but you already knew that...

[SSSSBBBB81]

I want one !!!

[GoatRoper911]

How about just the video without the music so we can hear the truck?

[bradleysconzert]

Gavin Skilton WON his class in the Baja 1000 in this truck....I would say he's driving just right.

[gioluque]

not bad for a stock suspension travel, but you can do better...dirve more agressive!

[SpartanML]

Awesome video showing the greatness of the Ridge. Certainly some interesting terrain that had to be navigated! Thanks for posting this!

[k757]

damn! very nice... how can I get a ride? :)

[Woodywoodzzz]

Great video guys!! Now if we could only get honda to come out with a beefier struts/ suspension/ground clearance for us average guys that would be awesome.

[Toilfree]

lift kit and tires

the the baja ridgeline is only 2 inches taller than mine

[skulli69]

That was a great video of the '09 Baja RL running the San Felipe 250. You guys had an awesome run and thanks for sharing! Skulli69
