Used 2020 Honda Ridgeline Consumer Reviews
Catchy Title
Worth the price. Spend time enabling the tailgate and trunk lock. Not a rock crawler, but not intended to be.
Too much technology!
While there are a few features I like on my 2020 Ridgeline RTL-E, there are many more I don't like I'll point out below. First, the ride, interior, seats, and two-way tailgate are great! But there are a number of things I don't care for: There is an annoying Auto stop idle feature that has to be disabled every time you drive, and there is an unnecessary ECO mode The no gear shift requires you to have to look every time you want to switch gears Blindspot activation comes on too close to rear end of your vehicle to take evasive action and the indicators would be better if located on mirrors Remote control features are confusing- for example tailgate will not unlock automatically with fob in pocket--requires pressing unlock button two times, then doing this will not also unlock all doors, requires pressing unlock two more times There is no instant radio mute on the steering wheel requiring you to decrease volume to lower radio Blue tooth phone requires multiple commands to make a phone call Collision monitoring system goes off continuously when going through a fast food drive through--can only be stopped by putting transmission in park! If you disable adaptive cruise control, you cannot use the lane keeping feature There are over 30 settings you have to decide on in the cumbersome and confusing NAV/Radio screen, its all touchscreen and confusing going back and forth Overall, unless you're a technology nut, I'd recommend a more straight forward vehicle

Awesome!
This is a vehicle that comes with many standard features. I love the flat gear shift and the good ride.
Lots to like, but....
I purchased this Ridgeline when my wife commandeered my Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. After researching several trucks, we decided the Ridgeline best met my needs. Purchased online as the only dealer who had the Pewter color I liked was 4 hours away (Thanks Gunn Honda San Antonio). There are lots of things to like about the Ridgeline. It rides very comfortably. The mileage is good. I love the dual tailgate and trunk. And the rear bed audio is cool. The engine offers ample power for my needs. And the AWD is good for little off roading I need to do (some ranch work and such). I am mostly happy with the "Ridge", yet there are times when I look at it and think..."it just doesn't LOOK trucky". It's not ugly by any means, but it just has such an SUV look to it. The Firestone tires that came with the truck are, again, adequate, but not very truckish (I do plan to replace them with all-terrains). One big complaint is the stereo interface. I knew about it going in, but didn't realize how annoying it really is. It's not very user friendly, although the actual sound is pretty good. My last complaint is that the turning radius is kind of wide. Remember this when parking somewhere. These complaints are really overall very minor. The truck does what it needs to do and does it well and comfortably. If you can find one at a good price, I highly recommend it. However, if you like a beefier look, hold out for the 2021 which seems to fix alot of these issues. Update 2021. The Ridge is doing fine. Runs well (did great at the beach) and is comfortable as a daily driver. Other than the aforementioned stereo and less than trucky looks, I have no complaints..

Honda Ridgeline RTL
The Honda Ridgeline truck is the best riding truck that I have driven. This truck drives much like a car and is much easier to maneuver than my former GMC Canyon. The composite truck bed and hidden cooler under the bed is a nice touch. There is now ample room in the back seat area to transport my bicycle. The storage is much better than the other trucks that I considered. I am very pleased. with my decision to buy the Ridgeline. This “truck” has plenty of room in the back to haul items if you do not want to use the truck bed.
