Trunk in the bed Tailgate that opens 2 ways Very roomy, comfortable back seat
I used to have a Ford Sport Trac. Ugh! It was a lemon! Ford could never "fix" anything wrong with it. It was the first truck I ever owned. I got rid of it and bought the Honda Ridgeline. What a great truck. It's easy, smooth driving. It has a back seat that feels like you are in a car -very comfortable. It also has a trunk in the bed. It's great! I love this truck!

It meets safety standards and its great for a family truck for camping.
I like it cause it has all the extra features I love like the heated seats navigation and power windows.

Excellent option when considering a pick-up.
I haven't encountered any problems with it. I have 160k miles and it still runs like a top. Interior is very comfortable. The back seat is roomy, and the bed size is sufficient for what I use it for. The in-bed hidden storage is quite large, enough to hold a week’s worth of groceries for a 4 adult household.

Honda is a reputable and reliable automobile with very low maintenance
Very reliable easy driving/riding the only dislike is the low mileage per gallon
accountCircle Dave W
A truck for families. Smooth ride, good mileage, spacious back seats.
125k miles and no repairs needed, just maintenance. It is like an SUV on the inside and a truck on the outside. Great for families but not so much for extreme towing.

The trunk! My favorite feature!
My ridgeline is wonderful. Drives like a car, not a truck. The seats are roomy and I adore the heated seats in winter. My favorite feature is the trunk, a pickup truck with a trunk?! On so great! The truck has room for 5 passengers. I did not even realize.

Mighty Honda! It is a multi purpose vehicle for all kind of adventures
Great reliable car runs forever. I would recommend a honda car for everybody! If you don't want to go to the mechanic, this is it

Smooth driving ridgeline.
The ridge line drives very smooth. It feels like a car but has the conveniences of a truck. Being a 2006 it has so many nice advanced features that I was surprised it had from 12 years ago. I wish the gas mileage was about five miles to the gallon better. That is the only downside I have found with this car.

Looks good but a lowkey struggle
Sometimes I get scared driving it because it feels like it might break down. I have to really use the gas to get it to move and I feel like I'm pushing the car too hard. Air also has trouble and doesn't work anymore. Makes it a struggle during hot days and cold nights other than that it looks good.
accountCircle Jazmin B
That it has been an excellent purchase. And I would recommended 100%. Its spacious and comfortable.
I love my Ridgeline Honda, It's very comfy. The size is the thing I like the most.The only thing is that I would love the 2018 model.

Honda truck has ample storage room.
Very comfortable, but slightly too bulky. . . The frame blocks a good portion of my view when I am looking for other cars. Not great gas mileage. I love the trunk in the bed of the truck. . It is very useful and a smart design. I also like the cab lights and the rear window.

Honda truck pros and cons.
Very comfortable, and I love the feature of the trunk in the truck bed. Not great gas mileage, and the frame is to bulky. . . It is sometimes difficult to see when I am trying to make sure I am clear to make a turn. I like Honda's because they are very reliable.
accountCircle Horace K
Old reliable Honda truck!
It is just old. I like it because it is a Honda and is reliable. It has never required any serious work. But it is beat up. And it has high mileage. So I know it will die soon. It doesn't have the fancy bells and whistles of new cars. It is rigged though

Things I love about my pickup!!
I love my Ridgeline. It has heated seats that I use all the time in the winter. It has a trunk in the box of the truck.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Kristine M.

It is very comfortable, but is not over large. It has a truck bed, but also has covered trunk. Gas mileage is not too bad, for it being a truck, probably around 17 mpg. Hondas are generally very reliable cars.

likeFilled Graeme H.

The Honda Ridgeline is comfortable, it is very reliable, there is plenty of storage, it easy to operate, the user interface is simplistic and easy to operate, replacement parts are inexpensive, it has a relatively responsive engine, it is good at towing.

likeFilled Adam H.

Great smooth ride. Decent on gas mileage. Can two things. Gets me where I need to go. Upkeep does not cost a lot. Has plenty of storage. Heated seats. 4 Wheel drive. Seats 5. Is not to high. Price point is not bad. The in bed cooler/storage is a plus.

likeFilled Darren N.

It is a great vehicle it is good on gas mileage. It has lots of storage room. It is a great family vehicle. I love how the Bed of the truck opens up into a ball size trunk. I like all the cargo space they have under the backseat. What is definitely great for long road trips I am not a huge fan of the body style but all in all it is an all-around great vehicle.

likeFilled Jason C.

Good all-around vehicle. Daily driver. Lots of cargo space. 6-Disc changer. Cruise Control. Lots of legroom. Good ground clearance. Good amount of horsepower and pickup. The dual temperature HVAC system is really handy too.

likeFilled Karen P.

It has four wheel drive, which is especially handy during the winter on icy roads. It also has a roomy interior and can carry up to four adult passengers. Also the back seats fold up for extra cargo room if needed.

likeFilled Cesar C.

For it being a Honda trick it is pretty good towing stuff and is great on gas, has tons of space for the family and most definitely beach days. It is great little v6 and it has a cooler under the bed of the truck always a come up with that.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Kristine M.

Trim (not sure if that is the right word) is bulky between window and windshield, so it can be difficult to see that area - it can be a bit of a blind spot. Other than that, I cannot think of any other cons.

dislikeFilled Graeme H.

The Honda Ridgeline is not aesthetically pleasing, fuel economy (whilst okay for a truck) is poor, I live in an area that snows and I cannot lift up the wiper blades when it is snowing a they go under the hood.

dislikeFilled Adam H.

Gas mileage could be better. Needs air conditioned seats. Needs better leather seats and driver wheel. Needs a little more head room. Needs more leg room In back. Longer bed in back. More technology. Better speakers.

dislikeFilled Darren N.

The cons of the vehicle is I am not a big fan of the body style. The entertainment system is a little difficult to understand how to use. The navigation system is a little outdated. Some of the replacement parts are kind of expensive. The interior lighting is not as bright as I would like.

dislikeFilled Jason C.

The RT trim is missing automatic or daytime running lights. The bed of the truck is not very big when considering the size of most other pickup beds. There's no USB charging ports. The back seats can be a little cramped for passengers.

dislikeFilled Karen P.

It does not have good gas mileage at all. The average miles per gallon is about fourteen miles per gallon and the gas tank capacity is about 19 gallons to fill up so it can be costly to drive everyday for commuting, etc...

dislikeFilled Cesar C.

The cons of TV is vehicle is that the bed is super small. Also, u can put a bed cover over it which is pretty corny but it is whatever. Also the quarter panels get really rusty so keep up with it if not you'll rot to death.
