best truck I've ever owned
I've had 3 Rams ('96, '00, '02), '95 Chevy Silverado, '89 Ford Ranger, all purchased new or nearly new at the time. All were "ok", but this is the most utilitarian, versatile, dependable, luxurious truck of all! I waited a while to see if any of the domestic idiots would develop a comparable truck. Chevy is the closest with the Avalanche, but too big and too thirsty. Say what you want about the Ridgelines tow limitations or lack of low range, this truck will fill the bill for a large number of truck owners. Get over yourselves, you all don't need a full size, gas guzzling domestic.
Love at first drive
I purchased my Ridgeline used with very high mileage, (177k). If you're looking for a vehicle with over 100k miles on it a pre-purchase inspection is absolutely necessary. So far I'm completely smitten, this truck drives like a dream, incredibly smooth acceleration and shifting, relatively quiet at all speeds and great handling, on road and off. There are lots of clever little details that show the design and engineering team at Honda were thorough, from the 9 cu ft of lockable trunk-space in the bed, to just having two power ports readily accessible for driver and passenger. Ease of access is excellent, I am a tall fellow (6' 3") and the truck has plenty of head-room, my brother is in a wheelchair and was able to transfer in and out of the front seat without issue. All interior controls are straight forward and easy to use, sound system is good, interior lighting, home link, sun-roof, all excellent. AM options that came with/on the truck; custom bumper, brush guards, wheel well fenders, bug deflector, matching canopy, 2" lift kit.

Long Term Review
I purchased a 2006 Ridgeline used with 150,000 miles on the odometer. I have had it two winters and on my third one in Ontario, Canada. I find it flawless in the winter, heats up fast, heated mirrors and leather seats a Godsend. The hidden trunk makes this more than a pickup. Have had some minor issues such as: Cracked radio mother board solder on resistor for backlighting; Corrosion perforated throttle body coolant elbows; Broken plastic rear seat leg retraction pulleys; Broken plastic hood prop retainer; Numerous interior dashboard bulbs burnt out; Headliner detached and sagging; Leather seats cracking. So far I have replaced the radiator (preventive due to known trans cooler corrosion issue), A/C condenser and discharge hose (discharge hose leaking), battery, front struts, all 4 brake callipers (1 was dragging), 2 rear rotors (1 was scored), rear brake pads ( 1 set was worn down due to caliber dragging), and the headliner is sagging and requiring replacement. Upholstery is showing its age and will require replacing, however I am still very happy with the vehicle. The components that I am replacing, such as struts were still the original 15 year old set, so they should last for the life of the vehicle. Body rust was minimal to non-existant, with the exception of the left/rear which was previously repaired due to damage. A lot of storage space throughout the vehicle and good step-in height.

Could not be happier
Love it! That's just for starters. I honestly report that, on interstate highways, I will get over 24 mpg and sometimes as high as 27. I have the moon roof, luggage rack (not necessary), towing package from Honda. I added a thick rubber flooring to the bed, stainless steel Nerf bars, and a folding tonneau cover from after market sources. The rear passengers say it is very comfortable and quiet. The dual action tailgate is a stroke of genius.
Best Truck Ever
I love my 06' Ridgeline. I have owned Ford, GMC, and Chevy Trucks and the Ridgeline is by far my best truck to date. Pro's: AWD makes driving in snow/ice and off road a pleasure In bed trunk is a must; I keep motorcycle riding gear, golf clubs, camping gear etc.. and love it. Reliability: Most reliable truck owned to date, I complete scheduled maintenance and have had 0 issues with the truck. Fun To Drive: The AWD handles like a car and has plenty of power to tow around my 18 ft fishing boat and small camper. Cons: Bed Length: I haul two dirt bikes but with the tail gate down Ground Clearance: Like she said, a few more inches would be nice. GREAT TRUCK
