Have had one dealer service since purchase and all went well. I still do not like the engine stop/start feature but have learned to turn it off with every engine start. If you are looking for a week end warrior pick up that is at home in the woods as at the country club.....this is it..........rides like a large quality sedan, has plenty of V_6 power thru a 9 speed trans., and purrs thru dual exhausts like a happy pussy cat ! I would buy another in a heart beat !

Great vehicle but shoddily assembled

Yes, the Ridgeline has a great ride, yes it is comfortable and secure feeling on the road, and yes, the cab leaks like a sieve. Read the forums carefully before deciding the Ridgeline is for you. Water intrusion seems to have been an issue since the 2nd Gen arrived in 2017. I won the unlucky lottery and got a leaker. Fortunately my dealer is excellent which is especially important as it appears Honda customer service is a myth. Maybe that worked while they were selling better assembled products but no more.

Broke down less than 12 hours after delivery

Do not buy this vehicle. I purchased a new 2021 Ridgeline RTL-E two weeks ago today and it broke down just hours after I took delivery. Ruptured transmission lines with less than 100 miles on the odometer. Parts are on back order and Honda corporate has done nothing to help. They should either replace my truck or refund my money. This is completely unacceptable.

This ridgeline RTLE is exactly what I want in a truck. Comfort, intuitiveness, functionality, and great looks overall. That and the Honda reliability, does not get any better than this!

Almost The Perfect Vehicle

I've had my new 2021 RTL - E for about a month. I think all of the safety and convenience features are excellent, but I wish there was a beeping noise when backing up. I know there is a backup camera but with all of the safety bells and whistles, you would think a backup beeper would have been installed. The large rear compartment, bed speakers, swing out tailgate, and in bed trunk out weigh what the Tacoma can do for me, but... raise the Ridgeline 3'', put a couple skid plates underneath, and offer a turbo or a bit larger engine option and this vehicle couldn't be kept on the lot. It's a terrific vehicle for an active lifestyle as it is, but I can dream can't I?
