Back in June, Honda released the completely redesigned and reengineered 2017 Honda Ridgeline, which has been a hit not only at DELLA Honda in Plattsburgh, but all over the country. The Ridgeline set itself apart from other trucks on the road by offering exclusive features like the Scratch and Dent Resistant Truck Bed, Dual Action Tailgate, In-Bed Trunk®, and of course the world’s first Truck Bed Audio System. It was also the first and only pickup truck to earn the IIHS 2017 Top Safety Pick+ rating. This year at the 2017 North American International Auto Show, the 2017 Honda Ridgeline’s innovation was rewarded, as it received the 2017 North American Truck of the Year Award.
“This award is a prized validation of the innovations and advantages the Ridgeline offers midsize pickup truck customers and a great recognition of the American development team’s work,” said John Mendel, Executive Vice President of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “This is a terrific way to kick off 2017, and we’re looking forward to sharing more innovative Honda products in the year ahead.”
Test drive the 2017 Honda Ridgeline at DELLA Honda in Plattsburgh to experience the North American Truck of the Year for yourself!

7 Car-Safe Resolutions
Still working on your New Year’s Resolution? Instead of vowing to eat healthy or go to the gym (not that those are bad ideas!), how about you resolve to become a safer driver? Here are some ways you can accomplish that in 2017.
- End Drinking and Driving: While deaths involving a drunk driver have dramatically increased over the years, the problem still exists. Every day, 36 people are killed and 700 people are injured from drunk driving related incidents. Help lower that number by not only refraining from driving under the influence, but helping others make better choices.
- Fill Up Your Tank: Let’s be honest, 2016 had too many close calls where you almost ran out of gas. These situations are dangerous, create unnecessary anxiety, and are bad for your engine! Make an effort to watch your gas tank more carefully so you’ll never have to find yourself on E.
- Change a Tire: Brush up on your tire changing skills this year! You never know when this skill may come in handy.
- Consider Safety Rating: When shopping for a vehicle, safety tends to take a backseat to style, performance, and technology. Make sure you are exploring safety features as well. The great thing about New Honda Vehicles is that you don’t have to compromise!
- Buckle Up: Out of all the incredibly innovative safety technology we have out there, the best way to protect yourself in an accident is by wearing your seatbelt. Wearing your seatbelt reduces your chance of injury or death by over 50 percent. So tell your passengers to buckle up or get out!
- No More Distracted Driving: In 2014 alone, distracted driving was responsible for 431,000 injuries and 3,179 fatalities, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Do your part by keeping your eyes on the road, hands on the wheel, and eliminating any and all distractions. It starts with you!
- Be Prepared: Nobody ever says “I wish I wasn’t so prepared.” The roads are unpredictable, and accidents can happen. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you can’t exit your vehicle, you’ll be thankful for auto escape tools like a seatbelt cutter or glass-shattering hammer. Go out and buy them today – you won’t regret it!

Cold Morning? Here’s How To Start Your Car
Winter weather is finally upon us, which means we’re in for some pretty chilly mornings here in Plattsburgh, NY; Burlington, VT; Potsdam, Lake Placid, and Malone, NY! Nobody likes heading out the door a few minutes early to clean off and warm up their vehicle, but it’s a necessary evil of living in Upstate New York. A few of you have been asking about the right and wrong way to warm up your vehicle, and we have your answers below!
How long should I let my car warm up in the morning?
Actually, experts suggest that you shouldn’t. While it may be easy to click the automatic car starter, finish getting ready, and head out the door to a toasty vehicle, it’s actually damaging your engine. Engines require an even flow of air and gasoline to run properly, and when the temperature drops, your car will end up putting more gasoline into the engine than air. This “washes away” the oil your engine needs to run properly, which can cause lasting damage. This doesn’t mean that you have to completely break the habit of starting your car a few minutes early, but keep it to just that. Start your car, gather your things, and head out the door.
How should I warm up my car if I can let it idle?
Great question! You might be surprised by this, but the best way to warm up your vehicle is to get in and go! An engine can take anywhere between 5-15 minutes to warm up, so take your time and don’t push your car. It will cause unnecessary stress to the engine.
If you have any other questions about the proper way to warm up your vehicle, stop in and see us at DELLA Honda in Plattsburgh! We’ll check out your vehicle and make sure your heat, defrosters, and everything else are working perfectly for you this winter! The only thing we can’t do is shovel your driveway!
