Comfortable, reliable, sturdy.
Ridgeline is a great example of Honda excellence. Quiet for a truck, spacious interior with solid feel. Comfortable seating. Rides smoothly compared to other trucks. The cargo bed storage is genius and holds a lot securely. Handles well in all weather. Four wheel drive is adequate for mild off road driving.

That it has a good overall safety rating and are very dependable.
I just think Honda makes a better quality car/truck than the competition. You get what you pay for.
accountCircle Leslie B
Very reliable. We got 75, 000 miles out of 1st set of tires.
Excellent vehicle no problems. Reliable. No maintenance other than new tires and brakes. Everyday driver a hour each way. A small rust spot on tailgate by Honda emblem, seems water settled inside tailgate.

Dependability and good ride
Great vehicle. Like the size, truck trunk, lighted bed, flip tailgate, hidden cd player, heated seats, power and heated mirrors, sunroof and nav. Would like better gas mileage.

While all of the features I previously mentioned are important I believe that dependability is the most important. Weather can be extreme here and most of the time I would prefer not to walk because of it.
Roomy, comfortable,dependable. Nice ride. Great sound system. Excellent handling.

It's wonderful. Easy to drive. With the hidden trunk you never have to worry about your packages etc.
I love everything about it. Especially the hidden trunk. It's fun to drive. Lots of room. Not bad on gas. No complaints.

Great vehicle would buy again.
Extremely reliable, little to no problems in 10 years of ownership. One of the only issues I had was the aux input going out, I found a replacement online for 4 dollars and simply switched it out myself. It was so easy it was like playing with legos.

Amazing truck that will not let you down.
The Honda ridgeline is a truck that drives like a car. It is extremely comfort ride. The interior is very nice with clean leather seats. The truck has over 250,000 miles and has never failed on me. The truck has not broken down once over a 8 year period. It has an amazing audio system that with exceptional sound quality. The GPS within the car is top quality. As of now I have had no problems with the truck and I would without a doubt buy it again.

Honda Ridgeline: A small truck with plenty of power
Performance is excellent, as is reliability, and I expect to get many miles from it before buying another vehicle. It is very comfortable, has a great air conditioner, and I love the leather seats. It is a short-bed truck, so not always big enough for some jobs. It would be much easier to maneuver with a better turning radius.
accountCircle Aaron J
It is got the space to fit 5 comfortably.
The average gas mileage sucks. It is frustrating that it cannot pull anything as much as some can. It would be great to have some air force fans out there. Also, the seats are not leather and I am not sure what material they are but as soon as I spill any way or smell anything.

Dependable reliable rugged enough.
Wish it had better gas mileage. Could use a full sized bed. A little more leg room would be nice. My 2007 ridgeline seemed roomier. Hate it when the traction control takes over and kills engine power when I am getting stuck. Also had some problems with previous truck’s gas tank cap not closing proper.
accountCircle Nadine B on March 30, 2021
Best features dollar for dollar compared to other pickups of the same size.
No vehicle problems, extremely reliable vehicle. Pickup truck that drives and feels like a car, full size cabin and seating for 4, bed of truck powder coated and has a trunk in the bed which is great extra storage.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Troy N.

The Honda Ridgeline is a truck that is fashionable and reliable. It drives like a car, and is great on gas. It is not too big or too small, and can seat five people comfortably. It has great features and is easy to maintain.

likeFilled Darrel C.

Reliable, family type truck, handling decent, comfortable interior. Drives well in the snow and icy conditions of northeast Wisconsin winters. Good airflow in the summer with all the windows open. Trunk under the truck bed is convenient.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Troy N.

I cannot think of any cons, but I understand that the new models have better gas mileage. I do not like the new body type, but some of the newer features would be nice to have. I prefer the uni-body style and the color panel of the models offered before the recent body design change.

dislikeFilled Darrel C.

Poor or very poor gas mileage. Previous ridgeline rusted a lot as it got older. Box is smaller than other trucks. Probably wouldn't make efficient materials handler. I hate the computer controls when driving in slippery conditions.
