Don't let the looks fool you, it's got fantastic features and is pretty zippy, great gas mileage too.
By far the best vehicle I have ever owned, it is perfect fit for my needs and taste.

Honda ridgeline a super truck.
Great truck for anyone, comfortable 4 full size seats, with short bed. Great for driving to work and usefulness for moving items. Has a trunk space under bed which is great to put extra stuff so it doesn't clog up your back seat. Comfortable ride. This is our second ridgeline.

My truck that handles like a car,
Lots of storage space in the truck bed, the under bed trunk, and in the back seat area with the seats folded up. Lots of room for the back seat passengers. Too. Very comfortable to ride in. Handles like a regular car and gets better gas mileage than other trucks. Wish there were more knobs on the dashboard instead of all functions being handled by the touchscreen.

It's very dependable. I never worry about it breaking down
I love the comfort of my vehicle but I need a bigger size. I also need more power. It's basically like driving a minivan

Not very good
2017 RTS is the worse of 5 Honda Ridgelines I have owned by far. My Design complaints are minor compared to the transmission issues that dealers can't resolve. New tranny needed soon

Transmission problems
2017 Ridgeline with 60K easy miles on it has bad vibrations at about 65 MPH as it shifts in or our of next gear. Dealer says nothing wrong but a ride on highway clearly says other wise. This is my 4th Ridgeline and all the others went to 140K with no issues. This one has locked me out of gas filler, front end noises, rear camera failure and now tranny issues. Time to leave my Honda family. I was unhappy with design of this Ridgeline but that's nothing compared to the reliability problems. I'd be better off with a Chevy.

You get what you pay for.
A very comfortable and good handling truck it can do all that I need and expect in a pickup. Comes with all the electronic safety equipment for driving assistance that the newer vehicles claim to be equipped with. Has a good sound system and an excellent navigation package no problems have been experienced. Gas mileage is around 24 mpg.

Love my Honda ridgeline. It is a great sized truck with a trunk in the bed.
Love my ridgeline. It has a trunk in the back bed that can also be used as a cooler. This is my 2nd ridgeline and I have had no problems with them. I have the moonroof, speakers in the bed and an outlet. It is great for picking up big items and towing. It is not a huge truck, but it fits my needs. When the time comes, I will purchase a 3rd one.

Easy to get into - love the comfort.
I love my 2017 ridgeline. I have always wanted a truck and never had one. As an older person - my concern was the ability to get into/climb into a truck. It is easy to get into, very comfortable. I love the backup feature. I love the many controls on the steering wheel where I can check my oil levels and tire pressures at the push of a button. It is a smooth riding vehicle. My last vehicle was a Honda CR-V which I spent very little money on for repairs. I am looking for the same benefit in my truck.
Bruce S
on January 11, 2021
Ridgeline, a great mid-size pickup.
The gas mileage is great, the extra storage in the bed is fantastic. Truck is comfortable, drives well in all conditions, wish it was all wheel drive, but even with that it goes about anywhere even off road. I commuted over 500 miles a week with it for a year and it has never had a mechanical issue.
Nicco B
on January 6, 2021
Great car, bad truck. The vehicle is a great car, enough space for passengers.
The car is very good because it has a lot of space in the back to carry things. Although there is only 5 seats, the back has enough space so that it is not cramped. The ac works very nice which is a great upgrade from the last. Overall, very good car.

Honda’s ridgeline remodel takes it over the top!
I drove a Ford f-150 for 20 years before switching to my Honda ridgeline. I like the better gas mileage and sporty feel of the ridgeline. I preferred the roominess of the f-150 but get along fine in the ridgeline. I have chronic pain so comfort was a big factor in my choice of a vehicle to replace the f-150. I have had several Honda's in the past and they have all been good cars. Great reliability, quality, economy, resale value and styling. My ridgeline is no exception. I didn't care for the sloping truck bed the ridgeline’s of earlier model years had so I was glad that Honda did a redesign with the 2017 model year. I cannot considered the Toyota Tacoma seriously but the driver’s seat was not very comfortable. I am happy with my Honda ridgeline choice and expect to drive it 20 years before I will need to trade it in for a new vehicle.

The back trunk has a flexible pull.
My vehicle has been giving me many issue when I am on the road, it is fragile like. Engine issues that I have to make repair of, but I enjoy the inside seating it has changeable features. I have to make changes during certain seasons for my car, I take good care of these issue doing thing like changing the tire at times.

Amazing Honda ridgeline for family who loves adventures.
Love and satisfied about the performance of my car. It suited for the family who loves to travel around the country. Can carry our luggage well with enough room and space. Besides, the gas usage is amazing. It is very economical and saves a lot of money.

Honda not willing to fix nav system.
Nav system keeps rebooting. Back doors do not open wide enough. Tailgate has no lock. Decent mileage for a truck. Very good snow and ice.
Robert M

Ridgeline is 4 out of 5 stars
No problems. However, the crew cab should be bigger. Somewhat cramped for passengers in the back seat. The truck bed is a bit shallow, however, it's nice to have the lockable storage down below. Vehicle performance is great and handles very well. Stay-in-lane features are also great.
Lee T

Most comfortable driving vehicle I have ever driven!
I love my ridgeline. It is the most comfortable, easy driving vehicle that I have ever owned. No major issues to report after 4 and a half years and more than 52,000 miles. I really love the adaptive cruise control feature which makes long road trips much easier. Rarely need to hit the brakes or the gas! Also early love the in bed audio. It is great for tailgating in the golf course parking lot!

Lost quality and confidence in brand
No, now the fuel injectors have gone bad. They want $1600 to replace them. They built defective injectors and now want me to pay. Hey Toyota, got a nice truck for me?
Anastasia M

Little mechanical helper!
This car is very reliable, and comfortable to drive even if you are new to driving. It helps you to move from one place to another, without renting a truck, because it has a lot of space and a huge trunk. It is very safe and good car to have for both small and big families.

Very convenient trunk located in the bed of the truck
Only dislike is a limited turning radius. Otherwise, all aspects of the vehicle are more than satisfactory.

Real honest review. This is my second Ridgeline, so I am pretty happy with this Honda product.
Quiet, quick, and reliable. Great navigation, and good looking. A slight driveline vibration on trailing throttle while on cruise control.

This vehicle is great for adventures and traveling.
Great overall vehicle. Like the music in the bed. And the fact that its fully loaded. Wish it had a little bit more power.
Karin L

Amazing car/truck crossover with small design flaw.
Great performance and smooth driving, more like an SUV than a pickup truck. Very comfortable inside and all the reliability of a Honda. The biggest issue I have is that the truck was not designed well to have the windows down - when they are rolled down, due to the lack of aerodynamics it creates a ringing vacuum/throbbing sensation and it is much more comfortable to drive with the windows up. This is more so a problem at higher speeds.
Nolan B

It is a unibody truck, which makes it not a real truck.
Back doors do not open wide enough. Everything else is nice, leather seats heat up nicely, as well as the steering wheel.
Linda W
on July 28, 2020
Great pickup for everyday use. Plenty of room for passengers.
Vehicle performs and handles well. Wish vehicle got better gas mileage. Handles well only needed at 40k miles was tires and regular oil changes. Had upgrade to stereo but that was a personal preference. Major con is bed of the pickup does not lock do not understand why manufacturer wouldn't install a lock, there’s a kit that can be purchased and install so bed locks.
Derek H
on July 22, 2020
Honda ridgeline is a truck for someone who does not want it to drive like a truck.
Everything has been great except for the brakes. They chug when braking. That is the only problem. I love that it is so quiet on the road - much more quiet than most vehicles. The unibody design also makes it the best ride amongst small trucks. And being the black edition, it is decked out with all the bells and whistles.
Rubi S
on July 19, 2020
Honda quality & reliable.
My Honda ridgeline is a very reliable, low maintenance, & very classy midsize truck. My vehicle is also very fuel efficient. I do not waste a lot of money upkeeping the interior or exterior given it is of very high quality built. I trust Honda vehicles the most.

A comfortable and non conventional pick up truck.
I had this car since 2016 and I haven't any issues with this vehicle at all. Its performance is amazing and so is its reliability. I drove it in snow without any issues. The seats are comfortable and they have seat warmers which makes driving in the winter so much more comfortable. It had the backup camera but it does not have the navigation compass, which is one feature I was sad not to have.
Brian M

Honda, made in America. Dependable.
This vehicle is reliable and has amazing safety features, plenty of space and I love the pickup and acceleration. The 4x4 allows me to feel safe in extreme conditions where a car would not be able to efficiently drive me. I enjoy the sportiness but also love the classiness.

Honda has a great reputation for longevity and safety.

The tailgate and ice chest/trunk. Very cool features.
I love the trunk that can be used as an ice chest. I love all the little cubbies you can put stuff in. I don't like the base model my FIL bought that we now own. I wish I could have added features after the fact.

Very well built and very ergonomic. Looking forward to having it a long time.
My second Ridgeline and my 5th Honda. Don't think the ride is as nice as my first, but really like this truck.
Kimberly S

Quality and comfort in one
It's really comfortable since it's made on the same frame as the Honda minivan. The interior is roomy and the stereo system is pretty good. It handles very well and feels more like a luxury ride than a truck. The side open tailgate is a real convenience especially for short people

Jason L

Performs like a truck but compact like a car.
The vehicle is great. It's not too big so it fits perfect in my garage. The style of black edition is very stylish. It's not as truck but it still gets the job done when I am doing yard work. The Bluetooth doesn't connect right away. And I wish you could leave the radio on when you turn the engine off.
Greg Z
on February 18, 2020
Very nice, but some things could be improved.
The ride, stability, noise level, and fuel economy are very good. The plastic lined bed is much better than the painted steel on most trucks, although the bed is shallow. I’m not much a fan of pickups, but the dual acting tailgate and locking trunk sold me on the Ridgeline. The sound quality from the base model radio is poor. Climate control is good. Driver entry for feet is tight due to protruding skirt on seat base, but once in, the seating is quite comfortable. The transmission is smooth but a serious shortcoming is that you can’t lock it into fifth gear for towing. It either hunts between 4, 5, and 6, or you can lock it into fourth, which revs too high. For towing, the fuel tank is way too small, limiting practical range to 250 miles. Available colors are typical boring Honda choices. After 2017, AWD is not available on RT, and the RTS trim went away. I’m pleased with my ‘17 AWD RTS, but with the ‘18 and ‘19 trim level choices, I’d probably pass on the Ridgeline
Joanna O
on February 15, 2020
Nice updated vehicle with cool features and well kept maintenance.
Well on our ridgeline it has a feature that we like very much it is a side mirror, and what it basically does is when you are about turn right, on the screen it shows you the right side and back so you do not have trouble turning I guess. It is a smooth ride. Short bed but we're people that do not tend to move or carry anything as big as whole apartment in the back so that is that. Real comfortable leather seats that have their own warming button. And tinting the windows goes a long way. We basically feel like at 60' while it is like a 98' outside. Reliable transportation in our opinion.

I love the comfortability of the truck.
Tire pressure bus always off. Does not have a big enough camera. The trunk is a nice size. The seats are very comfortable. The drive of the truck is great and it is always a smooth ride. There is plenty of legroom in the back and you never feel stuffed in the back seat.
Steve D

High resale value . It holds it value as it is made by a auto company that is known for its high quality
It's a great vehicle,small pickup that gets good mileage and handles and drives like a passenger car. Great comfort and wonderful ride.

Great gas mileage for a truck.
Very reliable vehicle with many safety features that make it very safe. Such as multiple airbags. Great trunk in the bed that self locks when vehicle locks. Good towing up to 5000 lbs. Leather seats and fold up rear seats add extra capacity. Very quiet and smooth handling. Low maintenance and great extended warranty. Service department gives great care. Instrumentation is well laid out and easy for tall and short drivers to see. Electric seats adjust to a perfect position for all drivers. Good on rough roads and the AWD is does well on wet slick roads using cruise control. 7000 miles between oil changes in the hot Florida climate saves money. Sots high enough for good road visibility. Small enough for garage parking. 29 mpg on the Hwy and 24 mpg around town. Is great.

My best pick-up truck buy if the year.
Easy to drive with plenty of power. Lots of cab space front and back so I can give rides to my friends. The pick-up is great for hauling and very useful in delivering big items. I love the extra storage space under the bed that can be locked up. It is a truck that is reliable and worry-free performance.
Alan H

Excellent comfort and great gas mileage
Pros: extremely comfortable, great gas mileage, large comfortable back seat, smooth ride Cons: only tows up to 5000 lbs, cruise control on lower end models has difficulty maintaining a consistent speed.
Jennifer W

Usable space amazing for a busy mom who like to go do things with the family.
Heating/ac buttons too complicated, same with the stereo. You have to look down too much when driving to adjust setting. Not good when driving.

Handles so well
Everything about this vehicle is amazing. The interior on the RTL-T is stunning. Spacious, comfortable, sweet. I live in the desert so I wanted a truck that fit into my garage. I had a Tacoma before. This is way classier, smoother, fun to drive. I dont do off roading. Ive only had it two weeks so Im still in the honeymoon stage.
Adel T
on October 21, 2019
Best pick-up for me - it meets all my needs.
Love this pick-up. It is big but easy to drive and very comfortable ride. Very roomy--I can pack a lot inside and there's plenty of room in the outside bed and there's a hidden, lockable storage underneath the bed. It may be a little gas-consuming but I am ok with this. I can haul with this pick-up.
Eric A
on October 13, 2019
Basic review of the 2017 ridgeline.
The fuel injectors broke at 40k. The truck has great storage. I love the built in cooler and the cab is very roomy. One other aspect that I love about the truck is how the back seats can fold up. This is great if you have dogs or want to move items. 4 out of 5.

All around great vehicle!
Very comfortable and smooth ride. Technology can be a little much at times though. Hardly any blind spots which makes vision very high. Wasn't sure about a truck having all wheel drive but it still handles well in bad weather conditions. Would recommend this vehicle.

The best truck ever: great for gardeners.
I have the Honda ridgeline that has all of the bells and whistles. When I bought it I didn't think that I would use all of the features but to get the ones that I wanted I had to get the top of the line model. I have used every single feature on this truck! I garden at a community garden and when I go there on a weekday and am there by myself I turn on the in bed speakers and work listening to music or talk. I have used the plug that is in the bed at the garden, too. The downside to the plug is that it is only a 2 prong plug so some tools are not able to be plugged in. The trunk is used all the time. The downside to it is if you have a load in the bed you cannot get to the trunk so you need to make sure that you have whatever you need out of the trunk before you load up the bed. I love the lane assist and alert features. There are many times that I have been saved from hitting someone while backing up or changing lanes because of them.
Mark E
on July 26, 2019
The best truck with a great price.
The ridgeline is a great truck. It rides like a car and has a lot of features that puts its value far above the price of the truck. I've had the truck 3 years and the only problem was an o2 sensor. It has a storage area in the bed of the truck. The truck has an bed liner already built in. Just go test drive one and I bet you'll love it.
Rick P

Underrated Honda ridgeline.
The ridgeline Honda pick up is one of the most underrated pickups on the market by far. The vehicle is excellent on mileage and provides a great smooth ride for the operator. Very reliable and comfortable vehicle with enough passenger space for 6 passengers and the coolest storage compartment in the bed of the truck.

Very reliable, decent gas mileage, practical, smooth ride, more than enough room. Looks too similar to the pilot, wish it had an 8 cylinder, wish the back doors opened a little wider.
John G
on May 16, 2019
I love the fact that it has a truck that you lock things that are not seen. The back seat folds up in two sections and gives you a flat storage space behind the front seats but INSIDE the cab.
It has a trunk. And it's not small. It also features a drain plug and we used it as an ice chest for a party, putting bottled water in there with ice for our guests.
Mindy J
on May 7, 2019
The most exciting and reliable vehicle I have had yet.
I love my vehicle it is fast sharp n fun. I haven't had any issues with it yet and hopefully I do not. The inside is amazing and so comfortable I absolutely love it and would definitely buy another one. It is very reliable my kid drives it back and forth to college and that is a lot of miles and still going great.
Bryan W
on May 6, 2019
Comfort of a car with the space of a truck.
The Honda ridgeline has the feel of driving a car while having the options that a pick up truck has. The trunk in the bed is great for extra space or stashing your beer. The back seats fold up and fit so much more. I do wish it had the sliding back window on the lower trim models.
evelyn N

Great tailgate opening and great trunk with lock.
It is really good on gas, great in winter driving, roomy, and will keep it forever great value for the money, reliable. Good looking, great color choices, talked to other people who have bought one and they say all the same things. Good vehicle great truck.
Nolan C

Very comfy and very reliable!
The performance is great, only issue is the cars seat belt noise sometimes malfunctions and keeps playing after you buckle your seatbelt. It is very reliable and the front and back seats are all very comfortable. In my opinion this is the best car I have used since I have owned cars.
Fred S
on February 25, 2019
Thoughts on the 2017 ridgeline.
I have owned my ridgeline for just over 3 years and thus far have experienced no mechanical problems whatsoever. There was one recall which the dealer took care of, but that is it. My only negative comment is that the upholstery developed white stain marks even though nothing was ever spilled or leaked onto it. Beyond that, the features like the under bed trunk and two way tailgate are amazing for pickup truck.
Tyler G
on February 18, 2019
Great value for size and reliability.
The Honda ridgeline is incredibly versatile and reliable. The storage is vast, even for a pick up truck. It handles like a smaller vehicle given its size. The trunk in the back is incredibly useful. The seating is comfortable with plenty of room in the back for larger individuals as well as children’s car seats. Gas mileage is reasonable given it is vehicle class.
Ari A
on February 12, 2019
An amazing vehicle that is great for road trips. Slim type of truck that's not bulky or high. Really easy for my grandma to get on and off.
Smooth rides, great for family road trips with plenty of legroom for back passengers. The compartment in the bed is great to put ice and use as a cooler.
Nat S
on December 29, 2018
Great vehicle- highly recommended.
I have no complaints about my car! I have been driving it for the past couple years and I have had no problems. I often have to drive a few neighborhood kids around and the back is great for fitting any car seats/ holders. Comfort wise, I have been struggling with a fraction in my lower back and very few vehicles are comfortable to me. In fact, the comfort was one of the main reasons I chose this car. The visibility up in the dash is also great. No complaints here!
Stephen T
on November 10, 2018
It's extremely reliable. The cargo space is good. For a truck it gets very good gas mileage.
I have had no problems with my Honda Ridgeline. I get a very smooth ride.from it, it handles well, and it's been excellent in the snow.
