Good bye Toyota
I have been a Toyota owner for 26yrs , I’ve owned 4Runners Tundras and Tacomas . Bought a 2023 Tundra in April of 23 didn’t like it and sold it to Carmaxx. Bought a 2023 Tacoma in September of 2023 and I traded it for my Ridgeline . I’m very impressed with this truck in many aspects. It’s very quiet , it handles good and Honda a least gives you more for your money. Toyota puts a few black badges and a black tail pipe on and charges 2400 for a black package. I used to drive Honda’s back in the mid 90’s and they were very good but cars. I think for the price the Ridgeline is a good value as a light duty truck with today's prices. Lastly I had a lot of trouble getting people to answer the phone at the Toyota dealership for service so I thought I would try Honda. I still own 2 Toyota’s. I also owned a 2006 Ridgeline years ago poor turning radius is why I didn’t like it . I really like my 2024 .

Caution on Drive Train
My first Ridgeline was a 2017 rear wheel drive (2WD) purchases new. The EPA fuel rating was 19 miles per gallon (mpg) in the city and 26 mpg on the highway, for a combined 22 mpg. I typically met or exceeded the EPA rating for the life of the vehicle before I traded it in January 2025 for 2024 Ridgeline. But the 2024 model has a significant flaw. The overall trim and finish are nice for the price and what you would expect from a Honda. The 2024 version had an EPA fuel rating of 18 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway, for a combined 21 mpg and the 24 falls below this bar where my 2017 model met and frequently exceeded the EPA rating over its life. In addition to poor fuel economy, the transmission appears to have a bad reputation which is deserved. It is very sluggish and feels like you are always towing a trailer. It requires a lot of accelerator pressure to make the vehicle move which is probably why the fuel economy is so low. It also freezes and will not accelerate at times. I discovered this passing a car on a two-lane road and it just stopped accelerating and froze at the speed. I had to brake and slide back in behind the vehicle I was passing to avoid the situation deteriorating into a potentially hazardous event. There are some class actions related the ZF9HP transmission which likely contributes to the sluggish performance and fuel economy. The 2017 shifted clean and smooth compared to the 2024 model. It is possible the ZF9HP is the culprit behind the poor shifting, acceleration freezing and bad fuel economy. Honda should be ashamed because it will tarnish their positive record. It has with me.

Great value
Nice truck. Runs good and eco mode gives outstanding fuel economy. Handles like a Honda Pilot SUV, Bed could be bigger, but it’s more than adequate. The major competitors all ride and drive and suck gasoline like trucks.

2024 Ridgeline RTL
Comfortable ride up front, back is tight for full size adults. Camera has low resolution and somewhat disappointing. With that said, the truck, overall, has nice features and rides well. I’d been waiting for a hybrid but unfortunately that was not in store for the 24. I think adding 6 inches in length to the cabin and upping the tech level would really make this truck a standout for 2025.
