my second choice but ended up getting it!
My first choice was Tacoma based on earlier reviews read but after doing test drives the Ridgeline had better interior material quality, driving comfort and gas mileage. Bigger bed size and unique dual-action tailgate. I have already hauled a half ton of sand and gravel and this truck handled it very easy. Putting in and pullout out any item on the bed was also easy using the side action tailgate considering my average height! The only issue I had was having to have the AC repaired twice. Got the truck new and AC was not blowing cold air after a month. Had it repaired and same issue happened again after 2 months and it was the start of summer! finally got it fixed. Been to Home depot and Lowes several times to get some stuffs for the backyard and front yard and people in the parking lot gets amazed to see a truck with side action tailgate and in-bed trunk:-). Overall, I'm more than satisfied having this truck. Its unique features exceeded my expectations.

Hands Down, My Best Vehicle!
I purchased my 2019 RTL-E AWD in September of 2019 after months of research and narrowing my choices down to the 4-Runner, Tacoma and Ridgeline. After missing out on a great deal on a 2019 Tacoma TRD Sport, I made an appointment to test drive this Ridgeline, which was also priced very well($34K). I haven't regretted the purchase for a second. Not only does it ride superbly, even with five adults (comfortably) seated, it has handled the wintry Michigan roads better than any of the Jeeps I have owned(Liberty, Patriot & Renegade Trailhawk). It cuts through slushy roads with ease and though there has been less snowfall this winter, I have gone through about 6'' of snow in Snow Mode, with no issue. It has tremendous room; as stated above, five adults rode comfortably on a pretty long in-state road trip. It's surprising how comfortable the rear seats are, considering they can be flipped up, to open up the rear for more storage. The lockable trunk is a highlight in itself! In addition to offering lots of dry, secure storage, I often use it to store groceries, keeping them cold in the winter if I don't go straight home after shopping. It has great power coming from the engine, even in Economy Mode, which I use almost exclusively. I love the remote start and the heated seats, in the winter. The stereo is easy to use and has terrific sound. I do wish there was satellite radio compatibility, but that just saves me subscription costs in the long run. The only other feature I miss is a built in compass. I'm happy with the mileage, considering I was getting around 22 MPG with my 4 cylinder Renegade and I am currently averaging over 20 with the 6 cylinder and several days of letting it warm up on the cold mornings. This is my first Honda, but I know from close friends that they're highly reliable. This will do anything I need in a truck, with a much smoother ride. I can't recommend this vehicle enough. Update 8/2020 Closing in on a year of owning the Ridgeline and I couldn’t be happier with it! The MPG’s have gone up over the warm months and I’m currently averaging just shy of 25 MPG. I have not had a single issue with the vehicle since I bought it and I’m very happy with the service department at the dealership; a 180 from the dealership I purchased my last two vehicles from. The only two things I think could be improved are having an in-dash compass and the cruise control is still taking some getting used to because there’s no display to let you know what speed you’re setting it at, and it seems to add a couple MPH to where I thought I set it to. I could not care less about friends and family saying it’s not a “truck”, because it’s everything I need in a truck, and I’ve been in some dicey off-road situations and though it’s clearly not a Tacoma, it got me out some places I shouldn’t have taken it. Buy one, you won’t regret it!

Great Everyday Suburbia Truck
I've had the truck about 4 months and 5000 miles. I don't tow, haul, or do much truck stuff, but I've owned the new Tacoma and even a 2014 Ram 1500 in the past. The Honda by far is a superior truck for people who want a truck when needed but not the rough ride, bad gas mileage, or cramped interiors of other mid-size trucks. The good: For 2020 this truck is an amazing deal for what you get; Roomiest interior for any mid-size truck; SUV-like interior offers more nooks and crannies for things; Rear seats fold up which is awesome; gas mileage is ok in town (17) and good on HWY (22 --This compares almost directly with a 4x4 Tacoma or 4x4 Colorado; the trunk in the bed is huge and amazing and used all the time since it can be locked; the ride is smooth and quiet; The AWD system is amazing... I think it's better than our 2019 Subaru Ascent. The not so good: The turn radius is much wider than other mid-size trucks-- but still better than a full size truck; 2019 RTL models have no modern safety features which are now standard for 2020; The radio is horrible!!! BUT -- it was easily replaced with Kenwood Apple Car Play radio for minimal investment; the look of the truck is a bit polarizing and not for everyone...HOWEVER, a new set of wheels make a huge difference. The truck can take one size up without modification. I bought 17" KMC XD Holeshots with 255/65-17 white letter General Grabbers -- The truck looks 100% better!! Other than that there are not real draw backs as long as you don't expect to use this truck as a rock climber or a daily heavy hauler.

IT DRIVES LIKE A SUV, BUT IS A TRUCK...nice!
I had purchased a ford fiesta to replace my wife's ford Forcus, but it broke and I had to replace. I decided on the Honda fit. Honda had spent years making small cars and this had won top awards over the years. Since I wanted to replace my Ranger I looked at the Honda Ridgeline. I was impressed with its safety features, functions and ratings. Four independent suspension, drives like a car; all wheel drive, rain and snow you feel secure, and collision avoidance system it adds confidence as you drive.

2019 Ridgeline Sport
Nice truck, rides well with plenty of storage room. It's just too bad you can't get navigation and Android play without upgrading a couple of levels.
