3/20 Review update: the Ridgeline drives as well as it did 3 years ago. I love this truck. I now tow a small travel trailer ~ 4,000 lbs. It strains uphill but handles the load nicely. My gas mileage has been affected by the towing - I'm getting 22-23 MPG. Someone called this truck the Swiss Army Knife of vehicles - I agree! This truck has very clever design. The interior is posh, appointed like a higher end SUV - the exterior is very attractive but the storage/cargo features are what sells the vehicle. There is a lockable "trunk" hidden in the truck bed. There is a drain hole so you could fill it with ice and beverages for tailgating, etc. The bed is 4' wide so it can accommodate a 4x8 sheet of ply or drywall. I haven't attempted that yet but the bed is flat (no wheel wells) so I believe it. There are also several tie-downs located inside the bed. The back seat can be pulled upward and latched creating a large cargo area there. Stuff can be stowed under the back seat while it is down also. I love the storage area between the two front seats. It is very large and can fit a small to medium purse. The truck drives like an SUV or even a car. Very quiet and easy to drive. Very nice vehicle. Reliability and other aspects of longer term vehicle ownership are yet to be determined so I rated them a 4.

This new 2017 Ridgeline is not my it's belongs to my brother. I have a lot of good things to say about the new ridgeline. This new body Style put the old ridgeline to shame, it's so much better in many levels. The gas mileage is better my brother been averaging 19.5 to 21 mpg in town have not gone on long road trip yet. The seats are very comfortable but I notice the back seat area is just a tad bit smaller than old ridgeline but not much still very comfortable and backseats sits a little higher than front seats. I like the trunk space in the bed in the back and it's slightly smaller but still very roomy I am 6,2 and I got inside the trunk and fit in good and a little tight but wanted to see how much space by getting inside of it. The bed is much better than the old one because it's wider and longer. The old ridgeline drove pretty good but new one is much better because it's easier to park it in parking lot and the horsepower is better. The ride is a little smoother and softer than old Rigdeline. My brother test drove the old one thinking he might save more money but decided to buy the 2017 Rigdeline because it's so much better in many levels. Only a few downsize which it's not a big deal at all. I want to buy one in a few years maybe the RTS model. I highly recommend the new Rigdeline because it's very good on gas and good to keep a long time because it's a keeper.

UPDATED DECEMBER 2019: Since I sold my 2017 Ridgeline I have been watching the reviews and the new Ridgeline (2017-2020) have not been as reliable as the previous versions prior to 2017. Judge for yourself, go to Consumer Reports and read their report on the Ridgeline. There are two recalls on the Ridgeline: 1. Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Ridgeline trucks. Exposure to acids, such as from car wash soaps, can result in the fuel pump feed port cracking. 2. Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2018 Honda Pilot and Ridgeline vehicles and 2018 Acura MDX vehicles. The front driver and passenger powered seats in the Honda vehicles and the driver powered seats in the Acura vehicles may have been assembled with improperly manufactured rivets. In the event of a crash, the rivets can break causing the seats not to be secured to the floor. I still believe the Ridgeline could be a contender in the small pickup segment, but overall sales do not reflect that belief. To date 2019, Tacomas have sold around 228 thousand units. To date 2019, Ridgeline's have sold only 30 thousand units (source: Good Car, Bad Car). I believe that it is due to the perception that the Tacoma is more of a "work" truck than the Ridgeline. For example, Ridgeline's have DoNut for a spare tire, while Tacomas, Colorados, and Ford Rangers are available with full sized spares. As for me, I don't want to go off-road without a spare tire that can hold up over tough terrain. Do your research and judge for yourself. Choose Wisely! I am a Honda person and have had at least ten of them from the original Civic through a 2015 CRV. Honda makes great cars, but the Ridgeline is not a truck for anyone who needs a durable rugged truck for serious truck work. Below is what I think about the RTL I owned: My Ridgeline RTL interior was cramped especially around the driving pedals -- the parking brake pedal interferes with foot and leg movement. Try stretching your leg all the way out...tall guys can't do it. The tailgate does not have a lock--good for thieves to steal -- yes this does happen. Ground Clearance is awful -- 7 and a half inches. Several times when I pulled into parking slots the front end scraped on the cement parking barrier. So much for any off road fun. Spare tire is a donut and not really good for any off road areas. Option packages do not include an XM radio until you are in the RTL-T price range of $35,860. This is ludicrous, as the "lower" priced models of $30,000 to $34,000 don't have a decent entertainment system. Any vehicle that is priced over $30K should at least have an XM radio. Also who really needs speakers in the truck bed?? Towing capacity is very weak. Yes the RTL has a tow bar, but that is all. The RTL does not have an oil cooler or ATF cooler and did not come with a pigtail. The Pigtail is an extra $400 and there is no after market add ons for the oil or ATF coolers. An oil cooler and ATF cooler is not available unless you buy the $39,000 all wheel drive version. Yes this is true. Bottom Line: This "truck" is not a working truck. It is for people who like the image of driving a truck, but don't need the utility of hauling or going to off road areas. I would call this a Sport Utility Truck, as it is just another Pilot or but without the covered luggage area. Yes I owned a 2003 Pilot and it was better in all respects to the 2017 Ridgeline Honda had the opportunity to build a Tacoma crushing vehicle, but has instead built a truck that people can't decide whether it is a Sport Utility Vehicle or just a weak truck. When you pull up to a stop light next to a Tacoma, Tundra or F150, you don't have the height of a real truck and it is not usable as rugged, durable, truck. On the positive side...my wife liked it.

With less than 1000 miles on my new 2017 truck I get a message on my dashboard between the speedometer and the tach that there is a problem with just about all the systems on the truck. There are no problems , but the computer says there are. Something is wrong with the wireing system . A new wireing harness must be ordered. I will update this to see if this cures the problem.
