Update to : Great vehicle except the radio
Good ride, acceleration and handling. Mileage a little disappointing. Good utility, love the in bed trunk. Audio system is antiquated but after eight months, numerous phone calls to Honda USA, five visits to the dealership and many follow up phone calls the second replacement radio they installed actually works for hands free calls. The service manager, Mike Shippe at Waikem Honda was great, but corporate just hoped I would give up and go away.

1 Year of Ownership
I purchased my Ridgeline brand new in January 2020 for $28,800 OTD. So far I'm at approx. 22,000 miles (1 year) and have had no mechanical issues. I drive a lot in Western PA and West Virginia and the vehicle handles well in snow/rain (I have the awd), handles comfortably on twisty roads, quiet on the highway and I average anywhere from about 20 mpg around town and 25 ish on the highway. I've used it to haul my motorcycle in the bed, move furniture, haul a load of scrap and a few large appliances (washing machine/refrigerator). I have yet to tow with it. All in all I think it's an excellent vehicle for individuals looking for light utility cars cannot provide but don't have the need for a traditional truck. I upgraded from a Prius after a deer collision and the only thing I miss so far is the mpg. The in bed trunk is very useful and I use it for groceries, stinky gym/jogging clothes, tool storage, carrying bulky motorcycle riding gear among other things. The bed depth is shallow so owners need to be careful, I had a wheelbarrow in the bed upside down and it slid forward at a stop and the frame rails directly hit the rear window. Fortunately it didn't break. Pros: good handling/power, spacious, comfortable & useful cab (fold up rear seats), utility of bed and in bed trunk, decent MPG, AWD Cons: rear doors don't open wide (I plan on fixing this with later model door checks), some center stack buttons do not illuminate so I have to turn on overhead light to change things like fan speed, shallow bed, it could use another inch of ground clearance, base cloth seats blemish easily and differential fluid change intervals (every 15k or so). 12/30/2023 update: After 47 months and 80,500 miles of ownership I traded in the Ridgeline. All in all the Honda Ridgeline was an excellent vehicle that you can commute in, travel in inclement weather and haul things. In addition to the above things I hauled; more scrap loads, loads of drywall, lumber, bundles of insulation, approx 1.5 C.Y. of dry mulch about 3 or 4 times, kayaks with the tailgate down, lawn equipment etc... My only concern with the 2017-19 Ridgeline is the 6 speed transmission. I was starting to experience a strange noise around 2k rpm on the highway (from about 65k) and then a week before I traded it in a real hard shift while driving. Not wanting to experience replacing a transmission I traded it in for a Jeep Gladiator. If the Gladiator doesn't work out I'll be back in another new Ridgeline with the 9 speed transmission. If you are reading this and considering a used Ridgeline please avoid the 17-19 due to the 6 speed transmission.

More than enough for most truck owners
Probably more than 90% of the full size pickups on the road today never tow a trailer, carry anything heavy in the bed, or ever see any off-road use. But the #1 selling vehicle in the USA is a full size pickup. Why? Full size trucks ooze machismo. You may never need to tow 10,000lbs, but you could if you wanted to (insert Tim Allen grunt). You could make a more rational choice and move down to a mid-size truck, but let's face it. Those give you all the negatives of a big truck and none of the positives. This is where the Ridgeline comes in. It will tow more than the average owner will ever need. It will haul more in the back than most Home Depot runs require. It has considerably more room than any mid-size truck and not much less room than a full size truck, yet it still fits in the garage and gets acceptable fuel mileage. For the average truck owner, the Ridgeline is MORE than enough. Add in the practicality of the in-bed trunk and dual action tailgate, and you really see the value proposition blossom. The fact that you can get a truck with crew cab, AWD (full time), roomy cab, push button start, decent power, and decent fuel mileage all starting in the low 30's is a miracle. Try to option out a comparable Ford Ranger or Chevy Colorado with the same options and see how much it costs. I often hear people say the Ridgeline is not a "real truck". These people are probably related to the person who parks the shiny jacked up Jeep at the mall that hasn't got a speck of dirt on it. They think off-roading is a gravel driveway. Buying more than you need while spouting the mantra of "better to have an not need, than need and not have" is certainly understandable. Me? I'll keep my money, ride in comfort, and have enough capacity to do anything I'd want a truck to do.

LAST VEHICLE I INTEND TO BUY. PERIOD.
Don't let my title put you off! I intend to keep my 2019 Honda Ridgeline Sport until I can no longer drive. Yes, I like my Ridgeline that much. It just works.

Emissions evaporation leak
I purchased a new Honda Ridgeline in 2020. At 7K miles, the engine light came on with the message Emissions Problem so I took the car to the dealer and they replaced the evaporator under warranty. Less than 3k miles later, the same engine light warning appeared with the same issue. The dealer replaced the evaporator again under warranty. Today, at 12K miles, I have another engine warning light is on the dashboard showing emission system problem. I took the car to O'Reilly Auto Parts and the technician scanned the computer system and the message is "emissions evaporator leak" take the car to the dealership for repairs. That's 3 times for the same issue. I'm from Massachusetts and I'm going to inquire about the lemon law in this state. Does anyone else have this problem on a 2019 Ridgeline?
