This is the first review that I have ever written for a product but I could not resist because the Ridgeline is such an excellent vehicle. I purchased the Ridgeline used about one year ago with only 13K miles and have driven it for 15K miles. It is the first pick-up that I have owned and love it. Prior to purchasing, I did plenty of research and test drove the old and new 2017 model. In my opinion, the new 2017 model is just OK. My personal preference is the old design. Things like most: car-like ride; comfort; tons of interior storage capacity and compartments; in-bed trunk (holds two sets of golf clubs); the mid-size makes it easy to maneuver (my wife has no problem driving it); traction in the snow; easy-to-use controls (knobs and buttons vs the new touch screen); gate swings to the side (very convenient). Things where improvement could be made: has no memory seat; poor radio reception; the "on" / "off" indicator for air conditioning setting is small and difficult to read; no compass. Extra accessories: bed cover (keeps things dry and improves gas mileage); rubber bed mat for protection; cargo net (works great for holding cargo in place). We have owned several Honda's. They are very dependable. Would highly recommend the Ridgeline. Having had the Ridgeline for a few years, I still like it but my biggest peeve is NO compass. It is a an RTL with navigation. It is not a cheap car. You would think that Honda would include a compass. To top it off, we recently purchased a 2020 Honda Pilot EXL and still, NO compass. Honda makes you buy a $42+ model before they include a compass. Crazy...

I am quite amazed at the amenities offered by Honda as far back as 2012. Packed with various storage areas, how did they know? Lol. Easy to drive, smooth, seats 5, toes 5,000 #’s and it even has heated leather seats. Just wow!
My Best Compact Pickup Yet

I've owned several compact PUs: 87 & 93 Mazda B2600 Cab Plus 4x4s. 93 had for 18 yrs. 2006 Mitsubishi Raider Durocross Ext Cab (nice styling but unreliable gas guzzler). I chose the Ridgeline because mom got in n out easy + could drive it. Only other PU like that was the Nissan, the "Chrysler of Japanese Cars" so no go. I got lucky and found a low mileage 2012 RT (38K). This Ridgeline is the best pickup I've owned. As fast as my V8 Raider, way better mileage, more interior room, yet shorter and way way more dependable. Pros: Well thought-out design. Timeless original styling, opening rear window (useful for hauling long lumber), good handling, easy to park, fits 5 adults, great stereo, clever storage bins, lots of interior shoulder and head room, Honda reliability and resale value, surprisingly capacious bed (though only 5 ft long, is wide & flat), cool dual opening bed door and that nifty spacious locking trunk. Cons: crappy city mileage considering it has the Accord V6 (I suspect it's the gearing), front seats are average in comfort, mushy brakes, average ride depending on surface and speed, noisy clunky suspension in cold weather, cheesy interior plastics, uses expensive synthetic oil, weird all wheel drive system (great on ice, but not so great in deep snow unless locked, then your speed is limited), trunk can be difficult to access in winter (if snow piles up), expensive used pricing for low mileage models, very hard to find. Summary: Overall, I'm quite pleased. Better PU than any other compact I've owned in almost all measures (the others had superior off road capability). But then, I don't drive off road often and the option to lock hubs is helpful when needed. I can upgrade the suspension to be rid of the clunking. At the moment, I see no reason to look for a newer truck. I've only got 53K on it, lots of life left.
