Interesting detail would be the trunk.
Love my Honda ridgeline, has so many extras like sliding rear window, trunk has so much storage, can open tailgate two ways the floor opens for more storage, only complaint is the road noise rides great and is comfortable, back seat is also very comfortable.

Great vehicle for the a person who likes the outdoors.
My Honda Ridgeline is a very good driving vehicle that handles more like a car than a truck. It has plenty of tailgate space for an outdoors person, but better handling. There are many cargo options in the vehicle with one large compartment under the tailgate. Great vehicle with 4 wheel drive to get out of bad situations.

2014 Ridgeline - a great little truck
I have had no issues other than the massive airbag recall and whacking into a deer and needing a new radiator. The engine has good punch. 4 wheel drive is a selected function which is kind of a pain but it works really well. I replaced the rear differential oil at about 50,000 which was a little early but other than that. I have no complaints. (Stereo could be better)

Honda ridgeline: truck of the year.
Gets decent gas mileage about 20-22 mpg for a truck, has room for 4 passengers and the truck bed also has a trunk for great storage. Navigation system is a great feature as well as the leather interior. Comes with Sirius XM radio which is awesome. The truck is also a very smooth ride, and is comfortable enough for long trips.

I love it, it handles great has plenty of room. It very reliable and always can be counted on. I would definitely consider another when I want a new truck.

Best mid size truck on the market.
This is my second 1st generation Ridgeline. My 2007 was totally when my wife was stopped for left turn. A 2500 Dodge hit it going about 55 MPH. The MPG is not as good as other mid and full size trucks I get 18 in town and 21 on the highway. This truck has great safety features and rides better than full size trucks. Ridgeline holds the value better than and mid size trucks.

Best truck we've ever owned.
This is the 8th truck we've had and the first Honda and we love it! It is the most well designed truck I have ever seen. Loads of storage, lots of legroom and headroom, and it runs great! We haven't had any real trouble with it in the 5 years that we have owned it. The only cons I can think of are, first it is pretty difficult to change one of the wiper blades because it hits the hood and does not pop up also its very tall... The bed height it so high you cannot see inside of it... This can be a pro and a con:).

Ridgeline the one you wish your truck could be.
Honda ridgeline is a great all around truck, rides like a car yet has room to carry large items in the bed,plus room for five people to ride in comfort, great fuel mileage and less maintenance than a domestic passenger vehicle, the vtech v6 has more power and torque to get you where you're going even in winter,with 4 wheel drive no matter the weather Honda ridgeline is the best option for all of the seasons.

I will not be buying anymore ridgeline they are poorly made.
It has slow take off,, inside hard to keep clean, it's just not like my first ridgeline which was 2011. I have not been interested in the new ones because they made the bed shorter. I must have had the defective one, my inside power plugs have issues, however the back seat power plug works fine.
accountCircle Pamela W
It is comfortable to ride in.
I dislike it because it did not come with the temperature of the weather inside like my 2011 Honda ridgeline. I like it because it's the car or vehicle of my dream.

Enough benefits to balance the shortcomings.
The trunk is a great feature, it rides better than I expected. Having a tailgate that opens 2 ways is helpful for shorter truck users. The gas mileage and included technology are bad for this year of truck and at this trim level and price point, I expected better.
accountCircle Shelly S on March 12, 2021
Hidden gem is the rear trunk.
I have had no problems with my ridgeline. I love driving my truck. It has more than enough seating space. The folding seats are easy to use when extra cargo space is needed. The rear bed with trunk is the best kept secret for extra storage & cargo space. I love my Honda ridgeline model.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Rebecca M.

This truck is a solid truck! It is the best and most well thought out truck I have ever owned or driven. Lots of space and storage and leg room in the front and rear seats. Comfortable and roomy and the trunk and tailgate options are amazing.

likeFilled John F.

It has a small bed so it is not that good for big halls and big workloads. But I am not a big contractor I use it for home improvement and landscape. It is quick and agile and has a lot of storage space for a small truck.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Rebecca M.

The truck is very high... This is not necessarily a con, but it is not always convenient. The only other thing that is a definite challenge is the passenger side windshield wiper is impossible to change.

dislikeFilled John F.

Small truck bed I wouldn't recommend it for people who use their truck for work. And there's no four-wheel drive so you cannot really go off-roading with it. Besides have some blind spots but there's a rear view camera.

Is The 2014 Honda Ridgeline A Good Car?

Really do not like it but I am not ready for another note. The newer ones are not cute to me because they make the bed smaller
Casey M.

How Reliable Is The 2014 Honda Ridgeline?

Yes, I do not drive it much because I do not want to put many miles on it. I have 75,000 miles warranty and I currently have 41,000 on it
