I have owned every truck brand sold in America and the Ridgeline, hands down is the best driving truck I have had. The roads here are rough and slick in winter and this truck handles excellent on icy, snowy roads. The back end stays stable and it stops on a dime, without even changing to all winter tires. I agree this isn't a brute to take out on bad dirt roads, but for occasional truck needs and an everyday commuter, this is an excellent choice in all winter conditions Alaska has thrown at it.

I bought my Ridgeline RTS new exactly 10 years ago. Have 81K miles now. I've had virtually no problems. OEM Michelin tires lasted 59K miles. Rear brake pads lasted 62K miles, front brake pads and rotors lasted 75K miles. I had A/T, power steering and cooling system flushed/serviced at 62K. Replaced the Honda battery at 45K. Otherwise I've done nothing but change the oil and the filters, which I do myself. The engine uses absolutely no oil, but it's the older version without the variable cylinder technology. The truck had only one factory recall: for a heater wiring harness. Troublefree Hondas are great. That's why I just spent $1,000 to replace the front seat covers with Roadwire leather. I plan to keep the truck another 5-6 years.

UPDATE 8/2/2018 : Factory denso radiator has a washer in the transmission cooling line that corrodes and busts without showing any distress. Mine blew out the tranny line at 115,000 so the coolant did not mix. Very good idea to replace the radiator, save your transmission, all the oems replacements I saw had stainless steel washers so they wont rust. Tranny shifted hard at 40 mph for a long time, was told its normal for honda. It went away after changing the fluid 6 times(3qt drain n fill each time)CV inner boot has been leaking. I just bought a new axle ($55 ebay) and am waiting for it to go. Had the timing belt service done and switched to 0W-20. I went from a max of 16mpg to getting the 'offical' mpg (16-20mpg) So happy! T-belt kit was $230 on ebay. Independent shop charge $400 for labor :) Other than the radiator and CV this truck has stood strong through everything. My friends call me to get them out of the sandpits and the mud holes. When towing our 4000lb pontoon mpg is about 12mpg. 0 complaints, rides smooth, dependable! 103,000 miles paid 12,000$ Was sick of nothing fitting my sedan so went shopping for a truck when I found this. Lots of inside room, backseat is typical of a truck-not very comfy. Sits fairly high, im a petite women and I have to pull myself up into the seat. The 5,000lb towing is perfect for our pontoon and moving all our outdoor stuff. Fuel economy is better than a v8 and the 22 gal tank lasts forever! All the comforts of suv with an open bed and huge storage trunk. Back seats are hollow underneath lots of storage! And fold up, makes a better ride for our pitt bulls! You'll have a hard time finding any bad reviews, many people claim these 3.5's easily last 300-400k as long as you follow the maintenance schedule. Which at 105k ill need to drop alot of $ on the timing belt, water pump, tranny fluid etc. Forums say the timing belt and water pump break about 150k! I will update if any problems occur. 7-30-17

I bought my Ridgeline in 2007, I had to wait for almost 3 weeks for it to be built and delivered and have been happy ever since. I have had zero issues with it, other than the required services and replacing things that wear out with use. The only 2 issues I have with it would be that I had hoped for better gas mileage (it's essentially the same as a full size F-150), and there are slight blind spots when looking to the rear sides. I've used this as an SUV and to the fullest extent of a truck and never had a single problem. With over 100K miles on it, it still drives like a new vehicle, nothing rattles or feels loose, if you didn't see the mileage, you'd never even guess it had over 100K.

I have had the ridgeline for 2 months now and I love it. It is a great mid-sized truck and all the bells I need. It is made by Honda so it comes with all the quality, reliability and consistency Honda is known for decades. I haul my fishing boat every weekend and have had no issues. Ride is smooth and it is great to take camping with the in-bed-trunk. The back seats are very roomy.
Love it.. and Wife does too !

Bought my 2007 RTL (noNav) in July 2012. 47K miles on it - but it looks and runs like new. Last truck was an F150 - which I loved; but life doesn't demand a full 4 x 8 bed any more. Nothing to gripe about with the Ridgeline. I see people think the MPG could be better, but at the same time they don't find that a sticking point. It's like driving a luxury sedan when you're on the highway. But you have the confidence of a truck both on and off road. My mechanic, and others I spoke to can't comment on them - I have to assume that's a statement of reliability !!
Love the truck, hate the seats

Purchased new in 2007. Now at about 35k. No problems at all. Truck handles great in bad weather. Better than the Jeep Wrangler we had prior. The trunk is a great feature. Michelin tires still look new. Perfect vehicle for someone who wants utility. Only complaint is the cloth seats on mine stain way to easily, even water like has been mentioned in previous reviews. I am going to have mine re-covered with leather.
I've had other trucks, but

I have had Toyota, Ford, and Chevy trucks. Not since the Toyota have I enjoyed the build quality (meaning fit and finish, you know...stuff you just "feel") of the Honda. The design has taken some getting used to, but it does everything I need very well. Now, if you NEED a "big man" truck for major hauling and a huge bed for cargo, this obviously isn't your truck. I almost bought the new F150 Supercrew (my last truck) this time, but the quality, safety features, gas mileage, and innovative features sold me in about 2 minutes. I am averaging 17-18 mpg highway with AC on full time, and I am heavy on the gas pedal. My friend's Ridgeline gets about 22 mpg hwy w/no AC running.
Honda Ridgeline is as good as it gets!

The best competition to the Honda Ridgeline is the Toyota Tundra. The Tundra is great, but I selected the Ridgeline because it has a shorter length and thus easier to park, has the all important better safety ratings (5 star vs. 4 star) for driver and roll overs (4 star vs. 3 star), has better mpg, has a locking waterproof trunk, gives a more comfortable ride, and is a welcome departure to the boring look of the age old pickup truck. While the Tundra offers shorter braking distance, 500 lbs. increased weight, a super quasi Lexus designed V-8 engine, is reportedly stronger off road, and tows about 1,600 more lbs., on balance the Ridgeline is the best choice - it is "as good as it gets!

If you're looking for the utility of a truck with the ride of a sedan you've found the right vehicle. It's comfortable handles well, acceleration is more than adequate, has great visibility, and gas mileage is good for a vehicle of this size. Interior is spacious, having plenty of, leg, shoulder, and head room for all 5 occupants. Controls are well placed and made of quality materials. Side airbags all around, brake assist, and stability control standard. Its hard to beat this vehicle's list of features for the price. Simply put, a great vehicle.

We pull a small travel trailer (about 3000 lbs) and I don't even notice that it is there. We love the "trunk". Wish the seats were more comfortable for long rides. Wish it was 2WD not continuous 4WD for better gas mileage. ME

Unless you intend to off-road, the Ridgeline is pretty much perfect. The ride is smooth, quiet, and refined. The engine won't kill you with acceleration, but it's better than adequate. Inside materials and design are amazing. Safety features abound. Perfect for long road trips, daily commuting, and everything in between. Gas mileage is better than expected-- 18 in mixed city/freeway, up to 22 or 23 on road trips. Only complaint is that the exterior is very susceptible to dings-- the paint/body hardware could probably use some reinforcement. People who review this automobile poorly probably have never been in one.

I bought this vehicle new in 2007 for my business vehicle. i hauled tools in the trunk which was great in the winter, the rear seats pop up to allow rear floor storage. mileage was as stated about 15 city and 20 hwy. I would like to see a little larger engine and a bit longer bed. overall a very good vehicle in snow or rain. I wish the 4 wheel system allowed you to lock in above 25 mph. Even though it didn't, I never got stuck so maybe it doesn't matter

Vehicle handles very well on the road, accelerates smoothly with 5 speed automatic. Displays are very clear, steering wheel mounted radio controls nice, A/C with dual zone works very well. Door handles oddly shaped, but you get used to them - actually is designed with ergonomics in mind - you'll see. Rear window slides with push buttom. Rear windows go down all the way. Rear gate easy to open/close. Trunk in the bed water tight and roomy for suitcases (medium sized) or lots of groceries. Rear seat folds up and has plenty of interior holding capacity - does a 30/70 split. Seats area a little firm, so make sure everyone likes that before committing. Radio is has static; only bad item.

Previously, I have owned 2 Chevrolet (1 truck/ 1 SUV) and one Mazda truck. The Honda Ridgeline has been the best truck I have ever owned, and the quality of the build and design has been just perfect for my life. I have raised a child in this truck, played drums in a band and hauled musical equipment all over Texas, produced 11 films and hauled camera gear to remote locations filming. The trunk, the reconfigurable backseat and the deep and cavernous center console leave so much room for everything you want to bring along for the ride. My wife and I have loved the little tray in the floor just forward of the console because it perfectly holds restaurant "to-go" containers. The slick all weather floor mats are great. The 3.5L engine is a workhorse that just keeps getting it done. I have only paid for filter and oil changes, and for the timing belt replacement and have been over 200,000 miles without issue. The first generation Honda Ridgeline is the most underrated vehicle on the road today.

This vehicle just turned 14 and now has 105,000 miles in Florida environment. The issues I have had over the years were basic maintenance with the exception of A/C replacement and driver side power window. I tow a 20 foot bow rider, a trailer with one or two horses, and even a car on a tow dolly. It likes to use a lot more gas doing this so don't plan on trips further than 100 miles. I just changed the transmission fluid which showed only minor shavings, and the rear differential fluid looked fresh and new. Reviews state to not use off road, however, in Florida the only off road is Sand. Works great in soft sand better than most 4WD vehicles as its light with wide tires. Pulls great off wet boat ramps when I have seen large pickups spinning wheels. After 14 years in the hot florida sun, the paint has a nice patina, but absolutely no rust anywhere. I love the tail gate and the in bed storage area. Oh yeah, after this much time parked in the sun, the headliner is held up with tacks, but heck, you cant have everything. :)

If you are looking for a truck that can do it all - go drive the Honda Ridgeline for a day or two. I did & I was sold! Honda has done a great job designing this truck to be so many things. It hauls (I have a boat it hauls w/np), it's a passenger SUV, and you can store an unbelievable amount of items. The back seats flip up creating an enormous amount of room to store items you don't want in the truck bed. Even with the back seats down you have ample storage under the seats which is nice on trips where people in the back can store articles they want to access during the trip. The TRUNK (THE TRUNK!) under the bed is what sold me on this truck - after the ride and many amenities.

This car is the most reliable vehicle I have owned with the exception of our 2002 Taurus which was about the same. We have 209,000 miles logged onto our ridgeline. This car has been across the country and back twice and we have never had a problem. It has been driven back and forth on a four hour trip many times to visit family frequently again with no problem. This engine is one of the most reliable ones ever, and not just in this truck. This engine is found in the Honda Pilot and Odyssey as well, so I am sure that any of these cars would assure you an extremely reliable vehicle.

Unique, different,drives like a car, good in snow and other bad conditions. You could say "it's a Honda" meaning it's all good but the reality is it's a production vehicle with some small problems. You find out after it passes 100,000 miles. Water leaks into the interior but only when parked downhill!? Gonna have check engine light and need front and rear cats..every rice light on interior switches will burn out, l use the Braille method to find them in the dark...change out alternators too frequently, people complain about gas mileage but the vehicle is heavy; stop and go-11 mpg; highway at 60 mph -22 mpg, go figure.. That in-bed trunk and swing out tailgate is worth the price of admission, super useful! Not really a traditional 4-wheel drive. I don't know the engineering but it's front wheel drive with an active rear axle. Active wet or dry, the VTM button " locks" the rear wheels till your moving and it goes back to FWD.. Different!! Pulls instead of push, a lot of haters and that makes me like it more! The body is tender- dents easily; surface rust, wheels corroded, looks rough. Don't care-runs like a clock! Honda's heritage is racing- USA is always hydraulic lifters that self adjust , Honda uses solid lifters that need adjustment more often than mfg. suggests.. Intakes get loose, exhaust get REAL tight!!! I've let the cat out of the bag!! Honda dealers are pricey, be ready! DIY if you can! Very touchy electronics/ can be complex. It's a winner but as it ages-growing expensive problems! Not as bad as the German stuff but repairs can be stupid expensive!!

I fell in love with this truck because one it had the honda name attached and because it was different than the domestic trucks comanding the road (other than the Avelanche). I wished that the truck inside would have been more stylish with more curves rather than the cuts like the knee room for the driver! Plus maybe an additioanl option of a V-8? and u thought that the MPG could have been better but it is still decent.

If you, like me, own two gas cans, three propane bottles, and a Great Dane, BUT have to commute 40 miles a day to work and back, you want both truck and very well-built car too. Ridgeline is both, and does both very well. Last Honda I had went 200k miles over 13 years with no issues, so how could I not go Honda again? Love the truck, rides very smooth, extremely safe in bad weather, computers are smarter than I am and keep me out of trouble. Only drawback is gas mileage, I'm getting 17 city, no highway test yet.

All around, a great vehicle. I had never owned a truck prior to buying my used Ridgeline, as my prior vehicles have been of the high or ultra high performance coupe or sedan variety, and I have racing experience. Performance for the average driver should be more than adequate (top speed is limited to 120), it rides very smooth for a truck, and the fuel economy is fine given it has a drag coefficient of The Vatican combined with substantial mass. I wish these had been available back when my 10 year old was born!

I am a genuine Ridgeline owner, and not one fabricating stories to sell a different brand or discredit Honda.This truck is not perfect but serves my needs very very well. My landscaping business and the tools that come with job can be hauled by my truck as if their is nothing at the back and surefooted in snow. The many awards this truck garnered is a testament to its merits. Anyone accusing Honda of bribing the award giving bodies is hogwash. I mean you can bribe one or two award giving bodies but close to 12 award giving bodies unanimous in praising the Ridgeline meant one thing, those awards aren't bought and much deserved. Kudos to Honda for reinventing the truck.

After debating between the 2007 Ridgeline and the 2007 Ford Sport Trac, I went with the Ridgeline and am glad that I did. The Ridgeline is a wonderful, tough truck and drives like a dream. I am not a truck person per se but need an open truck bed for Home Depot runs and hauling two large dogs around town and this truck fills that need and more. The in-bed trunk is the best as it is located at the tail gate, the Sport Trac's large in- bed trunk is located behind the rear window so you would have to get up into the bed just to put something in the trunk. For the first 1,500 miles, I have been averaging 18 mpg in the City. Not bad for truck this size. The V6 engine offers plenty of power.

Purchased the Ridgeline in May '07. PROS: In-bed locking trunk, good handling and great turn radius for a truck, extremely comfortable and roomy interior with extra roomy center console, decent power from V6. CONS: Horrrible gas mileage (under suggested sticker), terrible blind spots making it very hard to see to your left, right, or rear, base stereo system lacks any mids (I have heard better quality from a ham radio), seems like you have to gas it to accelerate at a decent pace. All in all, it's a very good vehicle if you don't mind forking out loads of cash for gas or backup or change lanes often. Those two issues are enough to have me trading it in this week.

So far the Ridgeline has been a joy to drive and work out of. I am a contractor and my 5 x 8 trailer loaded with tools and material is no problem for this truck to haul. It has power to spare. I live in a part of the country that gets it's share of snow and the truck's smart AWD system has no problems negotiating unplowed roads. The jury is still out as far as fuel mileage is concerned. With out the trailer, I'm lucky to get 15 - 16 mpg in town, but that is a far cry better than the 8 mpg I was getting with my full sized Dodge Ram.

This is a nice truck. If you havent checked it out..you should. It will tow your runabout, store your stuff in the 'bedtrunk', and all the nooks and crannies inside to put your 'stuff'. Four lights make looking in the bed easy after dark. Back seats fold up with one motion and fold back down with plenty of room for passengers. Exterior design is nice sets itself apart from those that want to look like a tractor for an 18 wheeler. Interior very nice and its comfortable you dont feel as though you are riding a truck hauling lumber. Magic 4 wheel drive push the button. It comes standard with features you will pay extra for on other models. Its a fun, working truck.

With a family of 5 and a house to take care of, this truck does it all. 3 kids (all under 12) fit in the back with plenty of room to spare. The trunk can fit a bag of soccer balls and lawn chairs, or a full trip's worth of bags from the grocery store. The bed is perfect for runs to the dump. You sit up high and feel safe. The wife's Odyssey will always be the go-to family vehicle, but having something I can tow the family and all of our bikes with, is a great thing indeed.

I have a chronic back problem and the inflatable lumbar support is really nice. This truck is FUN to drive. I listen to classical music and Tenors and I sometimes stay in the garage when I pull in from work because the stereo with built in subwoofer is very close to being in a concert hall.I have the aluminum roof rack and aluminum side steps and a silver pin stripe on this black truck and people to turn and look. These additions really dress up the truck. I'm so happy to get out of a 2 door coupe and really love all the space i now have

I bought this truck almost 3 years ago brand new and that's still the way it looks and drives. I moved to GA from NJ and I go back a few times/year. My wife and I love the ride, size, and reliability. We can throw all our stuff for the trip in the bed and the trunk with the dogs riding in the back with the seats folded up, and there's still a ton of room. Despite being a truck I get great mileage and it handles all elements with ease.

If you are looking for a truck to haul a big trailer this is not the truck for you. Otherwise, i highly recommend it. Build quality is excellent. Power is good enough to tow smaller boats and trailers. In bed trunk is awesome and i'm getting 21 hwy mpg. All around good buy. Liked it better then the Tacoma after driving both.

I traded a 2007 F150 Supercrew for this Honda, I love it. I looked at all makes and models, I have owned trucks for almost 28 years. This is not a solid rear axel truck, it's not designed to be one either. What it does is handle very well, like a car, while providing the option to tow and haul. It's not perfect but it meets all my needs in what I really need a truck to do. I am glad I choose this Honda, I hope it is more reliable than other trucks I have owned in the past. For a truck like vechile this is a dream to drive, period, easy to park too. I had it a month now, so far I have found nothing I can't live with as is. I wish I had bought it sooner.
Love my Ridgeline!

This is one of the most comfortable and responsive trucks I've ever driven. It's so nice to drive that I often find myself taking the "long way" home in order to enjoy it just a little bit longer. Zimbrick's customer service is above comparison, too, and that certainly is a bonus.

I purchased this vehicle in late 2005 due to its extensive safety features and fuel economy within the price point. I have now put less than 2K miles on it and am ready to sell. Why? Gas mileage running 12-13 mpg rather than the 16-21. Blind spots make the vehicle difficult and dangerous to drive for a petite driver. Significant blind spots occur in right rear due design and rear headrest configuation. The headrest design should be abolished. The curvature forward makes it very uncomfortable and many people turn them around defeating the purpose. Impossible to judge distance when backing up due to blind spots.
Great truck for what it is

I have owned Toyota 4x4s, GM 4x4s, new and old. I like 4 wheeling, but don't NEED to do it, so I hardly ever went 4 wheeling anymore. I wanted to buy an 07 Tundra 4x4, but couldnt afford it. I drive mostly highway miles, and take trips snowboarding and camping and use it for work hauling water around a flat city, so this truck has everything I need to make that happen. I'm verry happy with it, MPG is ok (averaging 18 MPG city/highway mixed). It's a great truck, it's weird as heck, but a good truck.

What's not to love about this truck? When you price a Tacoma 4 door and see that you can buy a 4wd Honda, well that's a no brainer. The ride is so much better than a Ford, Toyota, Chev. It's a truck that will last almost forever. Comfortable driving, easy access/egress, transmission is very smooth. Getting groceries and just placing them in the storage container in the bed, have something leak, no problem, just pull the plug and hose it out. I love the way the back seats fold out of the way. There is tons and tons of room for for vacation. Find an antique, no problem. Love to garden, well this truck is like a best friend (never let you down). Bottom line, this is the most truck for the money.
Fun truck with room for improvements

This truck is fun to drive. Has a superior stereo system. Great quality of workmanship. My friends have deemed it the "swiss army knife of trucks" due to all the great engineering that went into it. Gas mileage is "ok" (17.8 MPG on trips with tires at/near top PSI) I guess for an AWD vehicle, but I am certain that Honda could make it better by using the new engine innovations from the new Odyssey minivans. For a truck topping $30,000 MSRP, I expected heated outside mirrors and a rear window defogger like the Honda Odyssey of my wifes.
35K and still Great

Not a reel truck? So what. It does what most owners need with more comfort, safety and refinement than any pick-up I've ever driven. 30 sheets of plywood laid flat? No problem. Bales of hay? NP. 1,500 lbs of concrete? NP. 40 sacks of fertilizer or horse feed? NP. Towing a 26 foot Catalina 250 (sailboat). NP. Commuting 3 kids to school, rowing etc. NP. Taking a family of five on vacation with all the toys they need. NP. REAL truck owners are just jealous of our trunk, independent suspension, squeak and rattle free interior and reliability.
Beats my OJ Simpson Bronco

I had an OJ Simpson 1995 Bronco for a little over 10 years. It was reliable, drank gasoline like a thirsty boozer and rode like a vehicle from hell re lack of comfort. I'm retired, fly fish, pull small boats, go off road as well as drive in town and local trips. Ride is good. The grandkids love to ride in and prefer it over my wife's Lexus. The mileage has been a disappointment with an average of about 16 per tank. I normally beat the estimated mileage, not here. The lack or real off road under vehicle protection is a pain. Apparently, that is due to the Honda lawyers. The vehicle hauls everything we have needed to haul. The lockable trunk in the bed is great. Buy one
Third Ridgeline

This is my third Ridgeline. My first two were black this one is dark cherry pearl. My only wish is that it would get a little better gas milage. Everything else is great. Ride, handling, quality build, safety, color, and new mp3 ability.I just love it.
Two thumbs up

Bought mine new in 2007. Love it! Perfect for most guys who don't use a truck every day, but need it once in a while. I have 3 kids and they fit comfortably in the rear. Love the Michelin tires!

Ridgeline Needs a couple of changes

We just purchased a 2007 RTL with Nav. And we had to make a trip from Montana to California, the Navigation was great, won't buy another vehicle without it, Everything is great about this vehicle except for the front seats, they are way too hard for long trips, we just couldn't get comfortable(we had to buy cushions to put on the seats)Honda Company should consider putting Acura MDX seats in this truck and make the steering column telescopic. I had trouble getting close enough for the steering without my knees hitting the dashboard, and I'm only 5'5". If those two things were corrected this truck would be a definite 10 all the way!

This truck is great. Best overall value on the market. Get all the safety features, side air bags-VSA- electronic Brake assist-4wd, etc. Best interior room in its class, best ride, best options. The truck is awesome. I test drove the Tacoma Double Cab, Frontier Double Cab and the Ridge wins! The other models in the class I think are way off for quality.

I have owned my 2007 Ridgeline for over 4 years ( bought used of course ) I have had no major and very few minor repairs. I did lose lighting in the radio and have learned to live with this minor problem. It now has 129,000 miles and runs strong and still looks great. I don't baby this truck, I use it. I would buy another in a heartbeat. The worst part of the truck is keeping the interior looking as good as the rest of it. It stains easily and cleans badly.. but no tears and no complaints beyond this. Update, its now been 7 years of ownership. The truck now has 156,000 miles and continues to impress me, I have had to replace very little beyond the usual wear items. I will be buying another ridgeline,, someday,,, when this one wears out.. I also recommend replacement of the timing belt and associated parts at 100,000 miles. I did this and have had no problems.

I just bought my Ridgeline, I have been wanting one for years now. My 07 has 60k+ miles but I'll tell you if it didn't have an odometer I would think it was brand new. Honda Certified, the truck drives beautifully. I traded in an Acura TSX. I loved my car but this truck is great. Its everything I need and nothing I don't. Power rear window, moon roof leather try to find that in a competing model without paying out the wazoo.

I love this truck. The trunk in the bed is great especially on hunting trips. The family loves it. It is our primary vehicle. It is not great for towing. It will get the towing job done but the gas mileage drops to 10 mpg.
