🎉 How to Turn Your Honda Into the Ultimate Summer Tailgating Machine

Jul 17, 2025

Whether you’re heading to a Brewers game, a summer concert at Alpine Valley, or a backyard-style picnic at the park, tailgating is a summer tradition — and your Honda is more than ready to play a starring role.

From SUVs to sedans, with a few simple upgrades and smart packing, your Honda can become the ultimate tailgating machine. Here’s how to gear up and get rolling this summer.

🚗 Best Honda Models for Tailgating

Before we dig into the tips, here are a few Honda vehicles perfectly suited for summer tailgating:

  • 🛻 2025 Honda Pilot
     Three-row space, a power tailgate, and available hands-free access make this SUV a party on wheels.
  • 🚙 2025 Honda CR-V
     Compact but mighty — with great cargo space, hybrid efficiency, and an available power outlet.
  • 🎵 2025 Honda Ridgeline
     The ultimate tailgating truck, with an in-bed trunk and truck-bed audio system to turn heads at every lot.
  • 🧊 2025 Honda Odyssey (yes, the minivan!)
     Built-in entertainment, cabin space galore, and clever seat stowage make this a secret MVP for any outdoor gathering.

🧰 Essentials for Tailgating Like a Pro

1. Cargo Organization

  • Collapsible bins and trunk organizers help keep food, games, and gear tidy.
  • Use the hidden storage areas in your CR-V, Pilot, or Odyssey to stow essentials like sunscreen and bug spray.

2. Power Up

  • Make use of your vehicle’s power outlets to run small speakers, fans, or even a portable blender.
  • Consider a portable power station if you’re using a lot of electronics or lighting.

3. Comfort Upgrades

  • Keep folding chairs, a small canopy, and clip-on fans in your cargo area for on-the-fly setup.
  • A cargo mat or trunk liner (available at Schlossmann Honda City!) protects your interior from spills and grass.

4. Chill Out — Literally

  • Invest in a soft-sided cooler that fits snugly in your trunk or under a rear seat.
  • The Ridgeline’s in-bed trunk doubles as a cooler — just fill it with ice and you’re good to go.

5. Entertainment On the Go

  • Use Bluetooth® audio and available HondaLink® for your favorite playlists or sports radio.
  • Don’t forget cornhole boards, frisbees, or a football for some old-school parking lot fun.

🧽 Post-Tailgate Clean-Up Tips

  • Keep microfiber towels and a small trash bag in your car for quick cleanups.
  • Use your Honda’s rear seatback protectors (or grab some from our parts department) to avoid grass stains and sticky spills.
  • Consider a Honda vacuum accessory or make a pit stop at Schlossmann Honda City car wash to refresh your ride.

🎯 Make This Summer Legendary

No matter where you’re parked — stadium lots, lakeside spots, or campground clearings — your Honda is ready to be the center of the party.
