The BEST truck I have ever owned!

This truck is almost perfect! It would be nice if it got better gas mileage, but then it wouldn't have that awesome torque! I have pulled multiple cars and trucks out of the ditch (in snow), I have hauled a 26 foot camper over the mountains on a 5 hour trip, a 21 foot boat for 3 hours... all no problem for the RL! The performance in snow and ice is the BEST I have experienced! I have owned 4 Ford F-150s and 1 GMC Sierra and none of them performed this well in the snow (or mud). It is so well- designed and well-balanced that I don't think any truck can compete for overall performance. I have owned for 2.5 years and I have not had to have anything fixed! This is truly a great truck!

Just drove the Ridgline 2,700 miles. Front seats very comfortable for ten hours of steady driving. Ride comfort was pleasant. Avg mpg 21 incl mostly interstate at 65-70 mph. Loved the lockable in bed trunk. Recommend this Honda product for anyone needing the usefulness of truck for small homeowner type jobs and one not requiring a comfortable back seat.

Great Truck

This vehicle is awesome. The design and engineering is leading edge. It won't be long before all pick-up trucks come with trunks. I traded in a Dodge Dakota for the Ridgeline and there is simply no comparison. The Navigation system, moonroof and plush back seat make the Dakota a dinosaur who's time has passed.

Perfection

This is absolutely the best vehicle I have ever owned. Having been through a sedan, two trucks and an SUV, I have finally found a vehicle that has the best components of each for a family. It drives like a car. The inside is as roomy as an SUV and accomodates car seats nicely. It is terrific for occassionally hauling items in a truck bed, and best of all it has a great trunk! If you don't test drive one, you won't realize what a terrific car it is. Honda has really gotten this one right. It is also much more attractive in person (both inside and outside) than the pictures would lead you to believe.

I have a silver RTL with Nav and 11k miles on it since May '05. Previous vehicle, 2002 Toyota Landcruiser (Very well made, I liked it very much). The Honda has better gas mileage, 17 to 19 mpg, and almost 1/2 the price of the Toy. I enjoy driving the Ridgeline and often take it to Oregon (I live in the SFO bay area.) It's quite comfortable but I have to duck my head to get in it, probably because it has a sunroof and I am 6'-3" 250lbs (same problem with the Toy). I back my 2000 Artic Cat 500cc ATV in the back, tailgate down and tow it with no problem. A great truck for me, I am a devoted fan so far.

It took Honda a long time to decide to build a pickup, but I am glad they finally did. This truck is fantastic. I had a 2004 Toyota Tacoma before the Ridgeline. What a difference! The Honda is vastly superior in every respect. It's design is very intelligent. The ride is amazing! It's simply the best riding truck ever. It is roomy and comfortable. The trunk in the truck bed and the two-way tailgate are wonderful features. It has standard 4 wheel drive,traction control and side air curtains. Since it's a Honda, it will do well in crash tests. It has plenty of power and gets decent mileage on regular. All in all, it is a versatile truck that others will be copying for years.

Ridgleline has Some Neat Surprises

Just bought the RL with Navi and XM sat. radio. The build quality has been excellent honda style. Pretty smooth riding vehicle up to about 80MPH beyond that it gets a little less smooth. The Navi system is incredible with the touchscreen and voice activation for all of the major cabin controll systems. The XM sat. radio is also excellent especially traveling in the rural areas. Overall comfort is quite good with supportive leather seating. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the vehicle so far.

Great Performance except when the A/C is on. With the A/C on, the automatic transmission shifts up and down often. Great features, like the trunk,GPS, XM Radio. Matter of fact, the radio is fantastic. The truck is more quite than others that I have driven. Nice interior for a truck. The worst attribute is the poor mpg. I have averaged between 15+ to 16+ mpg. including expressway driving.
