2019 Honda Ridgeline - Great truck choice

The Ridgeline is a very versatile vehicle. Not only is it an Awd truck but is also very comfortable for 5 adult passengers. The rear seat folds up for even more storage capability. The tail gate swings up or out and the trunk storage in the bed is an additional feature. I replaced a 2009 Ridgeline which was great, but the 2019 model is even better. It handles and rides even more smoothly than my previous Ridgeline. It continues to be a very reliable vehicle.

This is really all the truck I really need. I had a 2500HD and 1500 before but after a while, they became tiresome to drive and park. Just getting in and out became a chore and I am 6'3. The Ridgeline is a great rig and really all one really needs unless they are hanging drywall or hauling toys out to the desert. I had a 2019 Pilot and totaled it a few weeks before I bought the Ridgeline. I believe that Pilot saved my bacon in that head on collision, hence why I got another Honda. My Pilot had the "honda sensing" and I hated how many false warnings I got. I found the only RTL Ridgeline (it doesn't have honda sensing) in San Diego county and jumped on it. I was not going to do another Honda with that safety feature... it still needs a lot of work. My Pilot always felt like someone else was also holding the steering wheel. It was almost scary when it would flash "brake brake brake" and the wheel would start pulsating for no reason except for a passing car going the other direction. Two issues I have are the rear doors don't open very wide and the rear tailgate does not lock . However, I found on a Ridgeline forum that you can get the rear doors to open wider if you swap out the rear door hinges with the front. Also, there are companies that make a lock for the tailgate and one that will even work with the OEM remote. I also plan on doing a bulb swap w/the OEM bulbs for better visibility. My advice, stay away from the higher end trims with all the electronics... keep it simple and their is less to go wrong. One last thing: Honda if you are listening.... move the terrain select button away from the center console lid. I'm tired of watching my Labrador change the setting with his front paws!!!!

Over the next ridge stood my 2019 Ridgeline RTL-E

After doing all of the homework through the 2017 & 2018 Ridgelines, to replace my old 1997 Honda Passport 4WD. I saw an ad that the 2019's were out and all I had to do is cross the next ridge and there he stood. One handsome crew-cab that built everything upon the years prior and they're all everything I'd been looking for in what has become the last vehicle I plan on owning. It's safety systems are VERY well integrated and easy to use, much like the navigation/HD Radio/Satellite radio. Found the majority of everything is within reach and easily accessible and a cinch to use without much work reading the manuals. Made decision to download them onto my Samsung S7 phone and Samsung S3 Tablet, now have quick easy access whenever needed for something. The ride was definitely a surprise as it handled beautifully during hard acceleration and braking while turning or hands-off braking. VERY smooth ride that you'll forget what you're in quite easily. Everything easy to adjust for seat positioning/height along with steering wheel adjustment with capability to save 2 auto settings. The cab interior is spacious and able to fit 5 large guys comfortably with plenty of storage throughout the interior and in-bed truck. Installed a 3 section hard tonneau cover making even more protected storage whenever needed. As far as I am concern, Honda has outdone themselves with the 2019 Ridgeline RTL-E which is nicely outfitted as is. Power rear center glass as well as power retractable/tiltable moonroof which I had to have since Passport ran all those years without a major fix being needed. So, with the way I saw it, it was just time to go over to the 2019 Ridgeline and it's NOT disappointed yet. Even with A/C running, it has plenty of power to get out of its own way and then some. The price agreed upon was worth it completely. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a test drive and you'll also see and feel everything I've mentioned here. Thank you.

It came down to this or the Toyota Tacoma V6 crew cab. The Tacoma is more like a truck and the Ridgeline more half truck half SUV. The Ridgeline was more to my needs since the majority of my driving will be on pavement. Overall very happy with purchase. The only complaint is for a truck with a $38,000 MSRP the audio system is lame. No touchscreen for this price range. It is the same radio as my wife has in her 2016 CRV. Other than that a great vehicle.

BETTER THAN EXPECTED!

Sooooo glad I chose the Ridgeline. Had it 3 weeks now and just cannot believe how well it rides. I know, it's not a "real" truck. But, that's exactly why I bought it. Body on frame trucks ride terrible. The Ridgeline's unibody frame delivers the best ride you will ever have in a truck. Period! My previous 3 trucks , Tundra, Nissan, and Chevy, did all the towing I needed. If you don't need to tow anything heavy, you need to test drive this truck. The Ridgeline is one smooth ride. Oh, and the gas mileage is sick. I drive mostly highway and have averaged 25 MPG. Are you kidding me. That's unbelievable. The locking trunk in the bed is a huge plus. Very impressed with this truck.
