Used 2017 Honda Ridgeline Consumer Reviews
New Reigning Champion
I traded an 09 Nissan Frontier 4x4 for my new Honda Ridgeline Black Edition. I couldn't be happier with the upgrade. Some question the Honda's "truckiness", but those criticisms are strangely self serving in some weird way. Those who are compelled to point out that the Tacoma, Canyons or Frontier in their most able iterations can out-haul or traverse a more dire off road terrain than the Ridgeline appear to believe that most people buy trucks for such purposes. Research has shown that 94% of truck buyers rarely undertake those endeavors. Just as we often see large 7 passenger SUVs occupied by the driver only. The truth is the Ridgeline rides, drives and handles better than the competition. It's better on fuel economy, has more technology and user friendly options than the competition. And, for doing the work that 95% of truck buyers do, it does it just as well as the others. New champ in town. Long live the Champ!

My new 2017 Honda Ridgeline
I am a 56 year old business man and for 25 years I have driven luxury sedans. But I have always wanted an AWD pickup truck. My new Ridgeline rides very much like a luxury sedan. Its quiet, handles well, is comfortable and roomy, and has all the convenience electronics I need. But its a truck! Best of both worlds. I love it.

Truck is still great.
Almost everything about the Ridgeline is great. The one issue I still have is with the Bluetooth and touchscreen, none of it is easy to use or intuitive. You have to touch the screen many times just to get to the area you want and the blue tooth seems to work about 40% of the time. The gas mileage promised by Honda is overstated, but I guess that is to be excepted these days. The truck is super comfortable and very roomy. I have been building a deck on my house and it is great for trips to the hardware store to pick up lumber or bags of concrete. Sure the bed is short, but you can lay the tail gate down and you do not look like a fool with lumber sticking out your car window. It is worth the money I paid for sure.

Truck with a Tux
I'm 2 months into ownership and absolutely love the Ridgeline RTL-E. It's smooth, comfortable and elegant with the alloys, running boards, chrome and rear tri-fold cover. It's a head turner in pearl white. This is my first truck and it's everything I will ever need in utility. If you're looking to drive in comfort and have the ability to pick up stuff at Home Depot and could care less about hauling and off road this is more truck then you'll ever need. This truck is well mannered, car- like and composed and I love all of the tech features, lane departure, collision mitigation and the auto hi-beams. Audio has great sound, Navigation is great but the touch screen is quirky and takes some getting used to. I think they should change the touch screen going forward. They need to add cooled seats and outside mirror signals, as the RTL-E is the top of the line. Lastly the tailgate does not lock; bummer. Overall, great truck! I’m one year into ownership and the truck is running flawlessly. I’ve changed the oil a few times and rotated the tires, that’s all. This truck has exceeded my expectations and I stand by my original rating . No disappointments thus far. After nearly 4 years , the truck is still running flawlessly, just oil changes, and a set of new tires, I highly recommend. Will purchase another one in future.

Ridgeline - highly engineered truck
Sports utility truck, not a work truck, ideal for many people. If you want to lift your truck and go off-road rock crawling, this truck is not for you. if you want a highly designed, engineered and comfortable truck to help you through your active mobile life, seriously consider the new G2 Ridgeline.
