This is an all-around nice vehicle. The only drawback for me was cost. We had set our self a budget of around $35K and this one was $37K to $44K. The way the packages are set up, if you wanted any one particular item, you have to get everything else in the package with it, whether you wanted it or not. This of course picked the cost up to get what you really wanted. Other than the price, I really liked it.

I really like this truck

I spent a lot of time researching this truck and others (and some SUVs and CUVs) before purchasing the Ridgeline. What I like the most about the truck is it's design, comfort, ease of driving and parking and the technology (especially the navigation). I was a little hesitant about purchasing the vehicle because I was used to driving a luxury sedan (Acura RL) which was significantly shorter and somewhat narrower than the truck. I drive a Dodge Dakota as my work truck and that is also shorter. Even though the Ridgeline is noticeably larger and I have to get used to that, it's so easy to drive it's not an issue. A couple things I would change when Honda refreshes the truck next year are the following: 1. Add a locking tailgate, 2. redo the rear doors so they open wider, 3. more responsive touch screen, 4. bring back volume and tuning knobs for the audio, 5. adjust the equalizer controls for the audio (sounds fairly muddy). That's all I can think of. Really enjoying this truck and I think I'll have it for quite some time.

1 complaint about the Ridgeline is that the tail gate does not luck. When I put a cover on the bed I also had to have a lock put on the tailgate.

Great mid size utility vehicle

This is a great mid size utility vehicle. It is just the right size for me (retired suburbanite empty Nester) 6Ft 3Inch 200lbs. I really like the interior, front seats are great plenty of room, visibility is good, ride is great (except for Variable Cylinder Management VCM) smooth 80% of the time 20% annoying vibration, handling is excellent. Instrument panel is great, however the Nav system and radio/audio system are a bit difficult to use with the touch screen not responsive some time. Not much in the way of a traditional truck. The composite bed is not very tough and the in bed storage is problematic if you want to hall sand, gravel, heavy or sharp cargo, also at 5ft 6inch will not hold an 8 foot sheet of ply wood flat has to hang out or a riding lawn tractor. ALL THINGS SAID I REALLY LIKE THE TRUCK.

A HONDA PICKUP,...........REALLY?

I never considered buying a Honda Pickup. I thought they were probably very reliable but light on performance and utility. WRONG!! I researched all mid sized and 1/2 ton pickups and even had an on-line deal for a GMC Canyon until I sat in the back seat. The rear seats were uncomfortable and could never be used by adults for any distance. I checked other makes with the same result. My garage space would be entirely taken by the length of all 1/2 ton models leaving me to walk around it with the garage door up. This would not work in the wintertime. So, I gave up for a short time until I read a report on the Ridgeline and despite my reservations decided to test drive one. LOVE AT FIRST DRIVE!! It was the best handling pickup I ever drove. Quick and responsive. It has decent hauling and towing capacity and all seats are comfortable. Gas mileage is great and that rear opening tailgate and lockable trunk space is genius. My only complaint is the turning radius. It took some time to get used to pulling into or backing out of tight spots or making U-turns but this is a small price to pay for such a versatile and comfortable pickup. On a scale of 10 the Ridgeline gets 9.5.
