bought because Consumer reports rated it highly. Useless in snow, iframe crossbar underneath the catches snow and stops it from moving. USELESS. Not as good mileage as tacoma, although faster if needed. Power Windows would not go up in the cold, had to pull up by hand AND press button...believe it. 4 position tire sensor is overly complex and expensive to maintain...had to pay BIG $$ to reprogram every time you rotate tires ( honda AWD, so rotation is required 2x a year). really a needy vehicle. Good thing it was easy to sell, cause I could not get rid of it fast enough.

Our 2010 RTL was our second Ridgeline, and while we both liked the truck, after 17 months, we threw in the towel & traded it for a 2008 Lexus GX470. Of course, you may wonder why? The answer seems simple enough to us--while the Honda does some things well, it does an equal number of things poorly. While highway manners and ride are great, wind and road at highway speeds is absolutely terrible. WHen I tried to get Honda to address the wind/road noise, I was told that all Ridgelines are like that. Really? You mean they are DESIGNED to be noisy? Yes, gas mileage is more important. Gas mileage? Well, our 2010 recently averaged only a measly 17.x mpg on a recent 3000 mile highway trip.

More of an SUV than a truck but has great cargo/towing capacity when you need it!

This truck rides well down the road and on gravel. The all wheel drive gets me through deep snow nicely. It has been a great truck. My only negative was how the traction control lights acted weird during -20 degree weather.
