Used 2006 Honda Ridgeline RT 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (3.5L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Woeful gas mileage, fun to drive
Bought a Ridgeline RT June06 and very satisfied with the features and driving experience. But the gas mileage is awful. Drove to vegas back and forth for 300 miles and got just over 18 miles/gal. In our area where there are lots of driving up and down the hills - 12 miles/gal. I may have to install a bed cover, hopefully it can minimize drag and saves fuel.
The Alaskan is pleased
This vehicle is amazing! It's perfect for someone looking for a mix between the utility of a dedicated pickup, and the low operating cost of a car. Someone described it as a "Swiss army knife utility vehicle", and I think that describes it pretty well. Its not for hard core haulers or city dwellers that will never use the bed. for those who need something that will do a bit of everything, Its a match made in heaven. It is reliable as well, I bought it in 2014 with 100,000 miles and put 50,000 more since I've had it with zero problems. The only issues I have with it are: Poor turn radius (turns what should be a U turn into a 3 point), Touchy at take off (normally not a problem, until you try to ease it up on a pair of ramps), Mileage when towing (drops significantly with even small load, yet about the same mileage with large ones), Temp fan control are buttons not a dial (small nit pick), no Aux plug (I bought a FM transmitter $20), Visually limited on right side when changing lanes (Requires a little head bobbing when preforming head checks, it is enough but takes a little while getting used to). And that's everything bad I can say about it. Despite those little nit picks, I would buy another, and to me it was worth every penny of $12,000.

Honda Ridgeline
I was not thrilled about the fact that I needed a truck. Trucks are bulky underpowered gas-guzzlers - aren't they? Not the Ridgeline! This "truck" handles more like a sportscar than a truck. The ride is extremely comfortable. The in-bed trunk is a must have! The rear seat is very comfortable and folds-up for additional storage. The AWD rocks! Great job Honda!
The truck that drives like a car!
Bought my 06 used in 2018 with 107,500 miles on it. Not a problem yet in 2022 with 167,000 miles on it, other than the radio light not working anymore. Drives like a dream. I have been in many trucks where i have had the thing turn sideways on me driving on washboard dirt roads. This truck handles like a car, just glides right over the bumps straight and true. Love the trunk cargo with full sized spare in it. Dual tailgate is very handy, as is composite bed liner. I just love everything about this truck! No complaints, only praise!

Honda Ridgeline
This truck is great. It is extremely quiet. The interior is great. It is very comfortable, and this is the only truck available on the market that is reliable, safe, dependale, and that has a decent fuel economy. That's why I love it. It has everything, and the quality is excellent.
