This is all the truck 80% of the people who own trucks need. All you weekend Warriors, all you DIY guys, people who like to go camping , fishing, hunting & or hiking , this has a true all wheel drive similar to Subaru not some on demand , but all wheel drive all the time… now I’m not talking to the guys on the job sights doing heavy construction, or hauling a 27’ 5th wheel horse trailer; but for your average Joe. This one will do most things more comfortably, with better fuel consumption, & being a naturally aspirated well established V6, a well established 9 speed transmission… & It’s a Honda; it should be an easy 350K -500K mile vehicle. I’ve owned other “real” trucks & yes, they were fine, but this is a step above. I got the Sport in Crystal White. I don’t need all the extras of the Trail Sport, i didn’t like the Chrome on the RTL, i also prefer cloth seats to leather in my trucks & the Black Edition just cost too much. (BTW if you’ve been looking to get one… now is the time. They aren’t selling & they are willing to deal to move them off the lots & with the 25’s about to come out, go grab yourself one) Anyways, it’s a great ride, parking is easier than in my larger trucks I’ve had… it’s still no Civic, but it is nimble. And they listened to the public’s input & gave us back the physical nobs for volume control, and a physical auto starter kill switch. If your in the market for a family friendly vehicle that has all the utilities of a mid sized truck at least go & test drive one, I’m sure you’re going to be pleased.

2024 Black Edition all Black

I’m a life long Honda fan. I’ve also had a Mercedes sedan, a Mustang V8, and Lexus LX. Honda gives the best bang for the buck. After 18 years owning a 2006 Odyssey, I researched pickups to death and picked the Ridgeline BE. It’s the perfect size for my use. Can still park in the city. As for “it’s not a truck!”, I beat my Odyssey harder than most truck guys work their pickups. There are more minivans in Home Depot than pickups. The Ridgeline is a beefed up Odyssey/Pilot platform so I’m not worried about durability. The ride is excellent except the tires feel firm or heavy on washboard roads but better than a truck based pickup. The ground clearance is on the low end of the scale at around 7.5”. If it becomes an issue, I’ll install a Flatout coil over kit in the future. Honda engineers vehicles to the umpteenth. You park somewhere and think “will the door or hatch or tailgate still open?” And it still opens. The seats are very comfortable and have memory which is the height of luxury for me. The ECO mode makes a big difference. Feels like a Mercedes starting in second gear. Turn off ECO and turn on Sport mode and the RL feels like a race car. I guess I’ll figure out the sweet spot between the engine and transmission. This engine maybe the last of the V6 VTECs which also prompted me to buy. Toyota Tacoma is a first model year and going turbo 4 and hybrid, Ford and GM are turbo 4s. I won’t buy a first year model change again. Even Toyota Lexus have teething problems. My fearless prediction is the Ridgeline will outlast them all and provide a much better ownership experience. Pet peeve: the ‘Black Edition’ emblem in the grill and the HONDA on the tailgate are chrome. I painted the one on the grill black and removed the HONDA on the back. She’s Darth Vader Black now. The BE stereo is fantastic. I live in the North East so I sprayed the undercarriage with CorrosionX. Oil based undercoating is superior to paint undercoating. I’m considering disabling the Variable Cylinder Management and the Idle Stop features for increased engine and motor mount longevity. The in bed trunk is huge. Fits two big plastic bins. I’ll replace the donut spare and shelf with a full size spare. Too soon to report on mpg. She’s good looking, rides great, and an all round competent vehicle. Hope this helps you. Cheers.

I was not interested in the Ridgeline

I started my truck search with no interest in the Ridgeline. I saw so much about the Ridgeline not being a truck and I liked the looks of other brands. I went with the Ridgeline. 6 cyl engine. I’ve had a number of dependable 4 cyl cars and loved them but trying to power a truck with a 4 cyl by turboing it seems like a lot of strain on a little 4 cyl. The mfg engineers will say I’m wrong. I hope they are right but I have seen a lot of great new innovations turn out to be great for the repair shops. Regardless I thought I would suck it up and just buy an extended warranty until I drove them. Under acceleration and at highway speeds the 4 cyls were quite loud, not a muscular sound, more like a struggling vacuum. The Ridgeline has the full time 4 wheel drive. With the varying road conditions, I like not having to worry about tearing up my drive line as in, is this stretch of road, too dry so I need to shift out of 4 wheel, and now I’m slipping on this stretch or slipping starting off at an intersection so kick it back in. The cabin was more spacious, seemed higher end with a lot less molded plastic, leather seats, the screen is not raised up into the windshield so it wasn’t as distracting. The info system is very easy to operate and it is easy to turn off/adjust the systems that annoy you. The back seat has a lot more leg room and isn’t cramped like the others. No need to move up the drivers seat so a passenger can sit face forward. The bed is bigger as it is more usable, being wide enough for a 4 ft sheet between the wheel wells and low profile wheel wells. The other beds seemed to lose about 30% of space due to their wheel wells. It doesn’t look as tough as other trucks but truck enough for me. Some things I found after having it for a while, The headlights annoy me as they do not have an off setting, the lowest setting is auto. I don’t need the lights coming on when I pull into the garage. The sun roof I didn’t want to have to take in the package, turns out to be nice in that if I crack it open a bit, I can drive with the windows down and not get that wind buffeting. The trunk is super, I can lock the tools, fishing electronics, any valuables in it. Not only are my things safe but with them in the trunk, I have more room in the box. The two way tailgate is a major back saver when loading or unloading. To sum it up, this vehicle that others claim is not a truck is a super handy truck for me.

2024 Ridgeline RTL a very good utility truck

I paid $45K OTD for a 2024 RTL Platinum White Pearl, Gray Interior, including functional and utility packages and full set of visors. The MSRP is $46.7K. It is a sport car for me and perfect utility truck for my family. The Honda V6 engine is the most exciting I have driven. Nine-speed AT lacks torques at lower gears, but it is buttery smooth with higher gears, and I only need to push the pedal for a couple of seconds to go to higher gears. HW driving is very good. Handling is precise. Honda sensing works effectively. It brings relaxation, confidence, and safety to my daily drive. This is a thoughtfully designed truck with in-bed trunk and cargo net. Compared to my last Pilot 2017 EX-L, this truck is clearly a better vehicle. Unibody frame bring the stiffness to the drive, but the suspension system works flawlessly. The SHAW (used in Accura MDX) handles bad road like a champ. If you want a truck to climb rocks, don't buy this truck because of the 7.6" ground clearance and no swaybar disengage mechanism. But this truck is buttery smooth and drives like an MDX.

Two fill ups into the break in period. First tank it got 24.4 mpg with a lot of idling (Idle Stop off) and city driving. On a highway trip, where I even kept the ECO off and downshifting so the engine speed keeps changing, it got 27.6 mpg. I can’t wait to see what I can eke out of her.
