The view below is essentially unchanged. The vehicle itself is what it is, the "infortainment" system remains as useless as ever, though its annoyance has been limited by my simply ignoring it: whatever you do, don't pay a single penny to upgrade to it: that was a $10,000 error on my part. And AWD is NOT 4WD, as you'll learn, but the trade off is in better mileage. Would I buy this truck again? Probably not, though it serves its purpose as a mostly-highway vehicle with the capacity to haul lawnmowers and snowblowers around to dealers for service, and it handles deer carcasses with more ease than the trunk of my former Accord. Reliable, though; no mechanical problems. I'll bump my grade to a B. Original update: I originally labeled this truck a "huge disappointment" - I'll modify that, slightly, after a year living with it. The milage is a huge improvement over my previous Ridgeline: 25 mpg mixed mileage, and 29 highway, vs 15 and 21and the performance is good. I still hate, hate, hate (!) the touch screen navigation/radio system: can't see it in sunlight, impossibly complicated to access while driving and the supposed alternative voice-command system is useless. There are some engineers in Tokyo or Ohio who should be led out and shot for this, and I would never have purchased this vehicle had I been aware of the system's flaws. As it is, I've learned to just use my IPhone for navigation and sound, and leave the damn thing (which added thousands to the cost) off. A/C is still feeble, seats are poor, ground clearance is too low (though I kew that), but the side-hinged tail gate and bedwell remain, which were the features that originally sold me on a Ridgeline. I'll give it a "C", compared to my original "F".

Be prepared for the price to be higher for similar equipment than previous years.That said,there's much more technology in the new model available.

Good so far, hope it holds up to other hondas in reliability. Now over 8000 miles, no issues. Now over 18000 and going strong. Have 27000 miles on it, find the gas usage gauge runs 3 or so miles more than you actually get. Now 37000 and still going strong. Did mileage to gas in tank mileage check and got just over 26 miles to gallon driving from Montana to Texas. Purchased December 2016. Now at 52000 and no issues, still tight and everything working without issues. 58500 miles still going strong with no issues. Right at 65000 miles everything still tight without any issues. 82000 miles had one issue with alarm going off which ended up being a module which wasn’t available for a period of time. Several complaints of issue on both Pilot and Ridgeline but no recall on part yet. Otherwise still running well. Still running strong at 85000. 89000 and running well. Traded in for a 2023 with 21000 on because of added safety features.

It rides like a car, but has the capability to carry objects like a truck. It is easy getting into that most trucks in this class. No complaints so far. There is a very small pool of colors. The dealership only had 3 Ridgelines and if you wanted one you are stuck with the colors available.

it's wide! Wider than my Tacoma

It's really wide compared to Tacoma. I needed a truck to be more compact for historic city driving and parking and I was more focused on the length than thinking of the width when I bought it. Now that I have it, I realize that the extra few inches make a big difference. While it adds to comfort, it makes driving narrow streets and parking more difficult. Also with all that width it would seem like honda could have fit more storage nooks into the rear door panels. Overall it's a nice truck and has a great ride and I was suprised at how fast it accelerates compared to tacoma. While I got the highest trim level, I'm disappointed in some of the material quality (although I also own 2 BMW's and an Acura - so i may be a little spoiled by them). Another complaint is the arm rest set up - I miss a full size console.
