Used 2017 Honda Ridgeline RTL-T 4dr Crew Cab SB (3.5L 6cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews

I love this car!

Classy truck

Despite being equipped with a towing hitch the electrical wiring is not complete. In order to tow you will need to purchase the final hitch working harness and have it installed.

Read this before you buy

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.

Rush to Market

The interior on the prior models of the Ridgeline are much better. I own an older model Ridgeline and have been waiting since 2015 for the newer version. Initially told it was coming in Jan of 2017. It came out sooner but the interior is a big disappointment. It looks as if they put in a Honda Odessy front panel so they could get it to market. I won't buy this current version. Someone told me Ford is coming out with a truck with a trunk and tailgate like Honda's. I will have to check it out. Maybe their interior is better.

King of Small Trucks

Very roomy comfortable inside, clean instrument display, smooth excelleration, deep trunk space, good sound system.
