Used 2006 Honda Ridgeline Consumer Reviews
AMAZED!
I recently bought a 2006 RT from a local Honda Dealer, with 120,000 km on it - tonneau cover too. I had been looking at them for sometime; I needed a strong, reliable, but comfortable truck or SUV to handle our cottage lifestyle. Towing boats, trailers full of work materials or ATVs, etc., but comfortable and easy to drive. Research indicated that used Ridgeline would meet all these requirements. In Billet Silver, it looks pretty sharp, although some in my family think it's the ugliest truck they've ever seen! But I love it! Two months into ownership and 2,500 extra km on the clock, it's smooth, powerful, reliable, good on gas (averaging 10.5 L/100 km or 22/23 mpg, and very comfortable.
Could not be happier
Love it! That's just for starters. I honestly report that, on interstate highways, I will get over 24 mpg and sometimes as high as 27. I have the moon roof, luggage rack (not necessary), towing package from Honda. I added a thick rubber flooring to the bed, stainless steel Nerf bars, and a folding tonneau cover from after market sources. The rear passengers say it is very comfortable and quiet. The dual action tailgate is a stroke of genius.

Long Term Review
I purchased a 2006 Ridgeline used with 150,000 miles on the odometer. I have had it two winters and on my third one in Ontario, Canada. I find it flawless in the winter, heats up fast, heated mirrors and leather seats a Godsend. The hidden trunk makes this more than a pickup. Have had some minor issues such as: Cracked radio mother board solder on resistor for backlighting; Corrosion perforated throttle body coolant elbows; Broken plastic rear seat leg retraction pulleys; Broken plastic hood prop retainer; Numerous interior dashboard bulbs burnt out; Headliner detached and sagging; Leather seats cracking. So far I have replaced the radiator (preventive due to known trans cooler corrosion issue), A/C condenser and discharge hose (discharge hose leaking), battery, front struts, all 4 brake callipers (1 was dragging), 2 rear rotors (1 was scored), rear brake pads ( 1 set was worn down due to caliber dragging), and the headliner is sagging and requiring replacement. Upholstery is showing its age and will require replacing, however I am still very happy with the vehicle. The components that I am replacing, such as struts were still the original 15 year old set, so they should last for the life of the vehicle. Body rust was minimal to non-existant, with the exception of the left/rear which was previously repaired due to damage. A lot of storage space throughout the vehicle and good step-in height.

Follow up-Four years later
60k miles later and I still love this truck. The only problems I have had in four years is the blower motor for the a/c and the recall for a wiring harness. This truck still drives like the day I bought it. The interior fit and finish is still tight and shows very little signs of wear. We have taken it on a few long trips from SC to NH this year and it has been a joy to drive. Very comfortable. Around town I am averaging 18 mpg. I am still on the original tires and brakes. No more maintenance than basic fluid/filter changes. Excellent value in my opinion.
