I do love my 2013 Honda Ridgeline
I drove a Ford F150 Lariat for 15 years. When it came time to replace that truck I wanted to downsize a little. I drove all of the smaller pickups in the market and found the Honda Ridgeline to be the right size, 4 wheel capability, smooth riding, relatively quiet, and fully capable for what I need in a pickup. Getting the Honda reliability was a plus. We drove it around town for the first 4K miles and it was a pleasure driving it in an urban setting, easy to park, great for those occasional trips to buy furniture, and good looking enough for date nights. You guessed it, I don't miss my F-150. 50000 + miles later and my Ridgeline is still driving like new. Have only done the scheduled maintenance including regular oil changes and new transmission oil. The tires are still great, the truck runs straight, nothing leaks, and I still love driving it each day. Since I have purchased this vehicle a new designed model is about to be launched and I'm anxious to see it up close. I have grown accustomed to the ugly original look, and even though I think Honda missed the mark on a NEW design, it's still a Honda and it will always run better than it looks. The new 2017 Honda Ridgeline has come out now and Honda was able to give us something new and take away something at the same time. They gave us a truck that resembles most other trucks on the market, they kept what works from the original Ridgeline, and added some new things to pay for. It's not cool to have to pay for features once standard equipment, ie AWD and electric rear window. The new Ridgeline is nice, but now since I have taken 3 years to get to like my Ridgeline, I like the old style just a little better. Honda fell short on knocking my socks off with its new design, new colors, and new features. The one thing Honda never falls short on is quality and the fact that Hondas just work and work well. I will eventually own a new Ridgeline, why not, they are a great vehicle, but my 2013 Ridgeline is still a great truck. It runs well, looks good, drives the best, quiet, and reliable. It's a Honda. Well I've owned a driven my Ridgeline for about 67K miles and 4 years. Tires just got replaced, but everything else is still working great. Regular oil changes and filter changes is all I've done. This vehicle is not babied, we drive it hard and loaded on the highway, it spends several hours a day on gravel mountain roads and it sits out in the elements when it's parked in Florida. I'm still not in love with its original styling and yet to feel the same about the new 2017 design, but I love how my Ridgeline just works quietly for me. I'll eventually buy a new one, but hope more design changes as well as better colors will be offered. Let's face it, the Ridgeline is an urban pickup. Make it look smart and give it great colors. The 2017 model is a weak start, keep up with greater design modifications. I still happily own my 2013 Ridgeline. It runs drives and almost looks like the auto I bought. Absolutely perfect and only did what everyone does to keep their cars running and looking well. You take care of it, and it’ll take care of you. I’ll buy another in time.

An excellent multi-purpose vehicle
I've had my Ridgeline for about 18 months now. I had one very minor warranty claim, which was handled promptly and courteously by the dealer. This is a great vehicle for the suburbanite who needs to make the occasional Home Depot run, and may need to haul a smaller RV trailer. I've hauled U-Haul's 6 x 12 trailer fully loaded with no trouble using the factory installed receiver. This is NOT for the manly man who needs a macho truck. It's a great combination of comfort and flexible cargo capacity. The trunk in the bed makes a great cooler for tailgating. I have now owned my Ridgeline for three years. It remains a very reliable, serviceable vehicle. It's perfect for my needs. The technology in the vehicle was out of date when it came off the production line, but I'm not the kind of guy who needs all the bells and whistles. In fact, I really don't want to pay for them. The headlights don't come on automatically, and the controls for the ventilation system are--to be kind--awkward.

Far & away best overall vehicle I've ever owned---
Bought new and have owned the Ridgeline-Sp Edition for almost two years(approx. 22,000 mi). Have never contacted Honda dealer or any service dept since truck was driven home in March of 2014, and have never had an issue, mechanical or cosmetic. Synthetic oil changes and an air filter by nearby lube place only. I'd never before owned or driven a Honda or Acura vehicle. This truck/SUV has very good acceleration & handling characteristics(I suppose much like the Honda Pilot on which it's based). Sound system is good, Heat/AC very good, storage areas up front & center console very good. Front seat comfort is outstanding from the seats themselves to their position relative to the steering wheel and height to the windows & visibility outside the truck. Never ridden in the backseat but haven't heard any complaints and rear seat legroom & overall space is large. The rear seats are split 60-40 & fold-up to form a cavernous storage area(friends new Chevy truck also does this now---in a likely copy of the Honda). Waterproof & locking trunk under bed is fantastic, almost as large as a typical auto trunk. Update 2-4-17: drivers side rear power window moving very slowly, may need motor replacement and passenger side rear window making a loud grinding noise on descent. Rear brake taillight burned out and easily user replaced. Adjusting overall fuel mileage down to 18(from est 19 earlier) Michelin tires still good tread @ 36,000 miles and overall still very pleased with vehicle.

Perfect blend of versatility
I had a Ford F-150 FX-4 for the past 10 years. It was reliable and a great truck, but the gas mileage sucked and i wasn't using it as a large truck should be used very often. When I did it always filled the bill, though sucking up a gallon og gas every 10 miles got old. It was also cumbersome to drive & park in traffic. The Ridgeline is a well-built, more compact truck that more suits the way I drive these days. It will pull a trailer and get me through the snow, just not as heavy a trailer or as deep a snow as the Ford. The Ford was a super cab with a small back seat. The Honda is crew cab with a roomy back seat. It gets 21 mpg at 70 mph and 20 mpg at 75 mph.
2014 Ridgeline Sport
I have had my Ridgeline for about 2 months now and I couldn't be happier with it. It really fits the bill for me and what I was looking for. The Ridgeline may not be the best truck for everyone but for what 95% of truck buyers actually need a pickup for the Ridgeline goes above and beyond. It comfortable, quiet, roomy, well built, and above all versatile. There's nothing else on the market that is so well rounded. I needed a pickup for the occasional run to the home improvement store, hauling furniture, and big bulky items. The Honda is made just for such tasks. I also fish, camp, and canoe so the ample storage options and available roof rack really make those activities a breeze.
PERFECT LIGHT USE PICKUP.
Low profile is easy to get in and out. Does not have auto turn on headlights. Does not have button by exterior door handle to unlock the door. Does not come with remote start. Even without some of the bells and whistles, this is a great light use truck. So easy and comfortable to drive.

radio reception bad
I just bought a 2013 ridgeline truck with the nav system. The truck is fine except for the radio. Anytime I am around a telephone pole I lose reception. It has been at the dealers for a week now and they have replaced the antenna cable, amplifier, and antenna. I still lose all reception. On one of the road trials they hooked up a temporary outside antenna and the reception was great. But Honda told them to replace the parts. I realize that the truck looks good without the antenna sticking out of the roof but it seems there is a problem with it.

This truck is amazing. Mine is the 2014 limited edition. I was only going to keep it for a couple years, then trade in for the new model. Everything about this truck is awesome. I'll have it for at least another 4 years.

I got what I wanted - A great vehicle
I wanted an all around vehicle with a comfortable on the road ride with some off the road capability. A vehicle that would be able to handle a snow storm or icy roads. A vehicle I could haul bags of mulch, or shrubs from the nursery. A vehicle that could carry the grandkids, cooler, buggy boards, umbrella and chairs to the beach. And I got it with my 2013 Honda Ridgeline I purchased new. A great vehicle. Now coming up on 5 years and still loving it. It is reliable and still going strong. Love the styling better then the new Gen 2 Ridgelines. Now that I am retired and just driving around town mpg has drop to 15 to 16

The Swiss Army Knife of Trucks
This is my second Ridgeline after I just couldn't break the first one no matter how I tried. My employee is now driving the first one and I plan to give it to my son when he turns 16. It. Just. Will. Not. Die.

Black in the South
Bought show room virgin new, a black beauty SE. The head liner falls down 6 months old, now 2.5 yrs old, roof down for 3rd time. Honda Service tells me black vehicles do not do well in the south. The adhesive is not so good in the heat. Tell me my new truck is the only Honda ever to have the head liner fall down repeatedly. they now say someone is pulling it down. I have no children, dog... I am the only one that uses the truck for a short commute to & fro work. Its a sport vehicle, never used as a truck. no one has ever been in the back seat. Beware, Honda says way too hot for Black in the south. Your roof will fall down. I am an automotive engineering professional, disappointed in the Honda service incompetence.... no fix and its still under warranty (WTF?). I will never purchase a Honda again after 9 Hondas. This is Hondas service attitude (Columbia South Carolina).

2014 Ridgeline Sport
I chose Honda because of their reliability and reputation of building quality vehicles. It is a decision that I have grown to regret. The idea of the Ridgeline is great. It has plenty of storage and is rather roomy in the front and rear seats. I am 6' 2" and I am quite comfortable. The engine is smooth but the transmission has issues shifting when it's cold. My issue is with the fit and finish and how Honda has handled the warranty issues with my vehicle. Not one of the doors line up on my Ridgeline. Other Ridgelines have this same issue where the doors aren't flush with the surrounding body panels. Mine leaked water as a result and it has yet to be fixed correctly.
RIDGELINE RULES!!!
I love my Ridgeline! After two years and with 30,000 miles, I am still just as happy with it as when it was brand new!

HAPPY
I'm very happy with my Honda Ridgeline purchase.
Love my truck.....
I love my truck. I purchased it new and put 50,000 miles in the first three years and it was a great commuter over highways and hilly back roads. We both retired in 2016, and it great for picking up garden supplies and transporting our bikes and kayak. Although, I did have to buy a bed extender to hook up to the trailer hitch for the kayak. The only thing two comments is that I am hesitant to take it on the beach with the computer control traction. I've read about the problems in soft sand. I understand the problem has been solved on the 2017 model. But, it's a real beast in the snow. You can take off from a dead stop with traction control and not slip and slid and stopping is no problem at all. The other problem is the radio reception, poor. Oh yes, one last comment. I never encountered this problem, but have always been concerned. What if you have the truck bed loaded up and you get a flat. The spare is in the trunk under the bed. That said, it is a great vehicle. Update - 7/17/17 - Still Loving it.

Just like the knife, it isn't necessarily the best when compared to more targeted, specialized tools, but you love it because it does so many things well. A very competent daily drive that goes to work with you on the weekends.

Love My truck
If you want an all around great driving machine this is it. have put 23000 miles on it in 10 months and it's joy to drive. I didn't buy it for gas mileage but for comfort, I've had two knee replacements and back surgery and getting in and out of this vehicle is great. I love the trunk under the bed it holds my luggage and anything else I need. I am holding on to this Baby!!!

Very Under rated vehicle
I have had the Honda ridgeline RTS for three years. I have a dog and allergies. The bed of the truck really helps me when I am traveling with my dog. It also helps when I just need to transport something small like a chair or table. I love the hidden trunk space and the valet key! I am a female and ALL of my friends just love this truck. I think that maybe your marketing was aimed at the wrong audience. I really, really think that you guys may have mis-marketed this truck! I expected to lease or buy a Honda ridgeline forever . . . but now I am considering the Jeep wrangles. I do not want a traditional man's truck. I look at your 2017 Honda ridgeline and just feel so bad. It is not even a semblance of it's original great self. Won't you reconsider? I saw one truck (someone else driving it); looked and looked for another one in my town, and months later saw another one. I was hooked! Since I have bought my truck, I now see them quite frequently!

Honda Ridgeline RTL - love it!
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...

Ridgeline Not Again
My dealer hounds me about getting the transmission fluid changed for a whopping $167. I've never had a vehicle in which this was even suggested by a dealer. The owner's manual says there are indicator lights to show what is needed. I've never seen any indicator to suggest changing any fluid other than engine oil. It may just be that my dealer is trying to scam me.

Love Ridgeline
Price, mileage, owners, accident reports
I'm in love
About 5 years ago, I was in a grocery store's parking lot and noticed a couple loading the rear compartment of their Honda Ridgeline. I'd never seen a Honda Ridgeline. I'd owned a pickup before, but this Honda was nothing like any pickup I had ever seen. I started doing the research and decided I wanted a Honda Ridgeline made from 2006 to 2014. I liked the transmission shifter on the steering column, no sensors, and the simplicity of the dash. I was looking for a Sport model, low milage, cloth seats, white with tan interior. I was patient and looked, but could not find my Ridgeline. Nine months ago, I found my love. It was not what I had been looking for, but instead a gorgeous 2014 Honda Ridgeline SE, 33,000 miles, a beautiful silver exterior, with black leather interior. My wife and I drove 18 hours to where the truck was located, then brought our baby home. It has the best ride of any pickup I had ever experienced. It was the first Honda Ridgeline I had been in, and I was impressed with the roomy and comfortable interior design. The interior is simple and easy to use, except the GPS system. The stereo sound system is awesome! Once home, I took my baby to a Honda dealership and had everything serviced, then replaced the tires with some Michelin Defenders. The ride is quiet, smooth, and handles like a sports car. I'm 70 years young, and my Honda Ridgeline is the best transportation I've ever owned. It is as comfortable as riding in a car, and I can haul my toys. Hope it last forever!

Just picked up my Ridgeline
Pretty much as expected. Great interior design, although it is missing the iPod/USB connection and Bluetooth. Trunk in bed is awesome feature. Gas mileage is averaging just over 19
Disappointing 2014 Ridgeline
I bought this vehicle because of the large amount of storage and cubbies, and smooth test drive. I'm happy to say that's what the purchased vehicle delivers. Unfortunately, it falls short in nearly every other area.
GOOD AS THE 2017

Great truck that rides like a car
I’ve owned a 2007 Ridgeline RTS and put 65,000 miles on it and now have a 2014 SE and put 12,000 miles on. I love the comfortable ride and the 5 star crash safety. I feel safe traveling local and long distances. It is very low cost maintenance from year to year. In especially like the 8.5 cubic feet trunk that no other vehicle has. It could use more torque and horsepower but it’s adequate and gets me where I need to go. I get 17 MPG in town and 21.5 MPG on the highway.

This truck is awesome!
I was at a dealership test driving vehicles. I had noticed the 2014 Ridgeline on the lot and just curious about the vehicle. When I test drove it, the truck far exceeded what I was hoping to find in a truck, and I couldn't believe the truck had 200k on it. I never thought I would buy a vehicle with that many miles on it, but the Ridgline was perfect. This truck is awesome!
Great low maintenance vehicle
This vehicle has 100 thousands miles on and is immaculate . Serviced every five thousand miles garage kept.. and very dependable . Would not hesitate to purchase another one if the price was right 👍
Awesome vehicle
