The truck is great. Pricey for the features you get. An RTL has a very basic radio for 37 k. For that price I expect better amenities so I passed

Forget off-road driving .This is not the truck you would buy for that .However comfort reliability and use of the bed for moving equipment I rate it tops in class.I do have a beef with brake pedal in cold weather.40 degrees or lower pedal will be rock hard and start up’s because pedal won’t depress can be tricky.Remote start solves this but this problem needs to be addressed.

I had a 2011 Honda RTL Ridgeline and it was the best vehicle/truck I have ever owned. It had everything I wanted and more. The ride on trips was 10/10. Performance 10/10. Interior 10/10. Everything about this truck was 10/10. The only drawback was the gas mileage, 7/10. We researched for several months for a 2017 Ridgeline and decided to make the move and trade our 2011 for 2017. Now, after just a few months of owning 2017, we found that on a trip, our sciatica was acting up (4/10) to the point that we could not wait to call it a day and get to a hotel. The new Ridgeling is very cheaply made inside and out. The passenger door opening was at least 30% less which caused problems placing food orders in and our pet getting in. The Honda web page information showed the passenger door opening was a normal opening. (You can check it out by attempting to place a large pizza box inside.) You have to tilt it to get it into the back seat, (3/10). There's more I could say about the new Ridgeline, but, it would be overwhelming information. Overall, the new style of Ridgeling is not worth the time to even look at let alone buying one 2/10. In 2020 we finally traded our 2017 Ridgeline in for a GMC. As a side note, I filed a complaint with Honda explaining everything, especially the rear doors, and never received a response. The dealership could only state that the web page was made so that it was easy to look inside and nothing else. REALLY. Save your money, look for another vehicle.

I drove the Ridgeline RTL-T and found the interior 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. After the drive we pulled into a parking slot at the dealer and 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...how am I supposed to tow my three Honda motorcycles to the motocross XC events? 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 but without the covered luggage area. 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. On the positive side...my wife likes it.

Terrible design... if you ever plan on getting a cover or shell for the bed because you want to keep something dry... forget it. Your bed will always leak, your tools will rust and your stuff will get wet. If you try and do a self-fix, Honda will negate your warranty on the car. There are numerous complaints about the trunk leaking... don't ever put something in the trunk that you don't mind getting wet or mildewed. Tailgate doesn't lock if you did put a cover or shell on. When you drive above 60 mph, it sounds like a wind tunnel... per the dealership "that's just the way the Ridgeline was designed". The entertainment, navigation and bluetooth are substandard to other brands. It's nice to have a flat floor when you put up the rear seats, but Honda decided to add a bar down the middle to clip the seats in... so having a flat floor is useless... you have a big bump down the middle (Ford has a great flat floor... very useful). Side mirror on the passenger side makes objects look VERY much closer than they really are... you see many complaints about this... it's a safety problem If you want upgraded features (nav, etc), Honda forces you get leather seats... if you don't want leather, you're screwed with their lower models. The mpg is not what is advertised... I could go on and on... A Honda Ridgeline is the biggest waste of money... it's an insult to a real "truck".
