Bought my truck new in 2006. 194,000 miles later I am still in love with my Ridgeline RTL. Still rides great, comfortable, quiet with no rattles or squeaks. I have hauled everything in it over the years and it works for me. Have had no issues with this vehicle and will buy a new one in a couple years. Big fan of this truck!!!
Nice Truck

Very nice truck for Honda's first year. I put on about 3,000 miles per month and I own it now for 9 months. Everything in the truck suites my needs well. The drawback for me is I need a larger cargo area, at least 6 feet long with tailgate up. It should come standard, like with the top of the line truck, the enclosed watertight hard cargo cover. It should have running boards and fancier wheels (chromes). Other than that, I can't see anything else the truck needs unless you are gong to pull heavy things - then you will need a larger engine... Good Luck in your purchase.

This truck has been a good solid vehicle for me. It's handled better in the snow and ice than any other car that I've owned. The interior is spacious and the trunk is a unique touch that I've utilized quite a bit. There are two downfalls that I've experienced with this truck however: gas mileage and road noise. I've experienced dramatic swings in gas mileage once the temperature gets below 30 degrees. I'm not sure why, but my average mpg drops from 20 to 17. I had a mechanic check the tire psi and all of the filters, but it came back inconclusive. Additionally, this is one of the noisiest vehicles that I've owned as well. Once I reach 50 mph or so, the wind and tire noise is too much.
Ridgeline Disappointment

After 11 months of ownership, and 6 trips to the dealership for repairs, I have decided to sell. Rear window that would not roll back up (11 miles on truck), front strut coils would bind and then release when turning the wheel (3 trips to repair shop on this problem alone). The large back side panel would flex in while reaching into the bed for items, and then pop back out, leaving a noticeable dent (3 in 11 months from lifting bikes out of the bed). There were numerous, loud rattles in the dash area, and a very loud buzzing noise when driving at freeway speeds. Gas mileage well below sticker estimates. Limited leg room, at 6'5" this truck was not comfortable.
Fatal Engineering

Honda saved a few bucks cutting a critical corner by installing a timing belt versus chain in an interference engine. In an interference engine valves and pistons have too little clearance unless in sync; if the belt breaks, moving pistons will impact stationary valves, causing catastrophic engine damage. The few dollars Honda saves on a belt instead of a chain, can cost $4-5000.00 to repair or replace the engine. This happened to our Ridgeline at 137k miles, about 15K AFTER we had replaced the belt and related components all new. The new hydraulic tensioner failed, broke the belt, and broke the engine. Honda says too bad. So much for vaunted Honda reliability. We'll never buy another one.
