2019 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E 4dr Crew Cab AWD SB (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
I have no concerns or problems with my 2019 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E. I had an old 1996 Chevy C/K1500 and just got tired of constant maintenance costs of a 23 year old truck. It was tall for my aged mom and mobility challenged sister to get into. I had an Avalon (Toyota) Hybrid (which I loved for the mileage) but I banged my head on the roof sill on every other entry. I could not load … my mom and sister and their walkers in the Avalon very easily without compromising someone's comfort. So a new pickup was needed. I did not want one of the full size pickups (on steroids) of today (which dwarf my 1996 full sized Silverado extended cab). Also, the new huge pickups do not leave much if any space in a garage if you can get them in at all. I wanted combined 20 mpg. and my wife insisted upon blind spot monitors when she hauls kayaks, which meant buying the RTL-E Ridgeline to get that level of safety (Honda Sensing). My new Honda Ridgeline checked off EVERY ONE of my needs and wants and exceeded what I expected. Returning from San Antonio through the Texas hill country on a recent hot day, I logged 28.2 highway mpg. My city mpg after two weeks is climbing as the truck is breaking in and has gone from 14 city mpg to about 16 city mpg. I got a VERY GOOD deal as I purchased my 2019 Ridgeline for 13.5 % BELOW MSRP and the dealership included a CD ($577) player at no charge. People trot over to me on parking lots wanting to know all about this vehicle. As word gets around, I think people will realize that the Ridgeline will meet the hauling, towing and creature comfort needs of 98% of pickup uses for most people. Only those wanting to go rock crawling, heavy hauling or heavy towing will need anything bigger than the Ridgeline which is actually slightly bigger than that old 1996 Chevy I am getting rid of. Yet my mom and sister can easily access the Ridgeline. Value is GREAT because I got a $50K + pickup for less than $40K out the door price (TTL included). It is a new way of looking at pickups and is the first of its kind. Unibody construction makes it ride and steer so smoothly. It does not bounce around on the highway or sway in turns due to independent rear suspension. I could go on for much longer, but you really just need to drive one for yourself.
I am now approaching 50K miles and am just as satisfied with my Ridgeline as in the original review above. No issues. There have been a three recalls (fuel pump location fix; timing belt installation fix; hood flutter fix); all done well. No issues. In my opinion, the 2019 model has been the sweet spot for this truck so far. Subsequent changes to front styling make the truck more appealing to some who want a more aggressive look. However, the other "improvements" to the transmission and shifters are underwhelming. I prefer the setup on the 2019 much better with the 4WD button on the stick shift. Newer transmissions are full time AWD only. But, ALL Ridgelines are great trucks! Honda fixed the inadequately opening rear doors on new trucks which I had to do myself by installing front door retarders on the rear doors (1 hour/ easy). I hope to drive my ridgeline for many more years, but if I were in the market for another truck, I would buy another Honda (the Swiss army knife of trucks).
