2006 Honda Ridgeline consumer reviews

I love my truck. I've had it since 3 yrs now had 2 recalls for it, but my main concern is the passenger seat has rusted out and nothing holding the front down. My dog doesn't like riding there. Plus my side steps is rusted out in back and no where's to weld back.

I have had my 2006 Honda Ridgeline/steel blue metallic for 20 years and I love it!!! I've had some mild issues with it. But I love it anyway. I've had some crazy fun in it and gave it a transmission leak by using the 4 wheel drive a few times, with no experience, ok. But I made my transmission leak problem go away simply by watching it for a few months and adding ATF when needed and adding stop leak to the transmission fluid and a few months later, NO MORE LEAKS!!! We just could not afford $1,300 to have that fixed by the dealer at Southwest Honda in Amarillo, TX. I love and hope to keep driving my Honda truck into my old age years for a long time and I only have 87,000 miles on it so far. Currently its got some minor damage and a bit of missing paint, but I still love it. My xhusband picked that out for me and I thought it looked like a space ship at first. But he took me to the dealer and a great salesman by the name of Jim Dia sold it to us for me to drive. I love the trunk in the bed, that is too cool. My tailgate works just fine. My bed liner coating is a bit scratched up because I've used the bed to do all kinds of stuff. I put a ladder in the bed of that truck and climbed on the roof of my house before. I've pulled down dead tree branches before, in that truck and alot more!!! I brag about that truck. Also, my Ridgeline has some different add ons, like the flare kit over the tires, bug reflectors on all 4 windows and hood, metal tube step rails on both sides, and step tow hitch. I pulled my first trailer/med. Size UHAUL from Missouri to Texas in 2022 to move my mom, that was scary and fun, I wanted to see if I could do it and I did it with no problems. I can't remember all the memories, but I've always worked threw the minor stuff and I still love my 2006 Honda Ridgeline. I always have, I always will. I told my xhusband at the time, over and over that I love the truck and I don't want a new one, because of the high interest we had to pay because of our poor credit scores and the hard work, joy, the blood , sweat and tears that I personally went threw. That truck is personal to me and I still love it 20 years later!!! That truck made it on the cover of CAR AND DRIVER MAGAZINE, back in 2006 and I was proud to drive it then and I'm still proud of it!!! Thank you so much, Honda, for making a really cool truck!!!

Its 2024 I got my 2006 RTL in 2007 outside of the light of the radio isn't illuminated anymore(who cares) this truck is still rolling strong with 197k miles on it! We have done some big boy truck stuff with it too and hauled trailers up mountains(no kidding) I see these trucks on the road and they're nice and probably stronger in many ways but this truck is like an old pair of comfortable boots at this point.They do the job and when its clean,it still looks awesome!,why do I need new ones? People offer to purchase it still.

I have owned mine since, it was the first one to show up on the lot, as I worked for the owner of the dealership I bought mine in April 2005 and am still driving it and loving it, the power, towing ability, and extreme fun I’m still enjoying everyday. I was even made to go off road into a deep ditch and the ground clearance and it’s ability to maneuver got me through the ditch without ever touching the dirt or getting stuck. It’s been an enormous pleasure to drive for the last 18 years and going.

I've had some rather expensive oil leaks both from transmission and engine oil lines but regardless I guess that's normal maintenance for how old the vehicle is now. My only complaint is now that I've seen the decked system for truck beds it makes getting the ridgeline moot at this point other than the storage is built in and its a smooth ride. But I could really use more storage and upgradability is much better with a Ford, Dodge or chevy ex. The decked system I just mentioned.

Driving my 2006 Honda Ridgeline RTL almost 3 years already. Average 12000 miles a year. I used to had Chevrolet Silverado, s10 and Colorado, Tacoma... but I can’t compare them to my Honda truck. Using my truck for work, for fun and camp and as a family car. Enjoying every single day. I will recommend my friends to buy them and they won’t regret they make mistake... Best truck, smooth to drive, good mpg, a lot of space inside, in bed storage best idea ever.

Beautiful Leather.. Heated seats. 4× 4 needed for winter. Very good value for a 2006 older Truck.. Can't Beat a Toyota or a Honda.. They keep GOING..

This car fits my needs for 5 passengers and a small bed to haul a few things and a 5000 lb towing capacity, and it comes with a lockable trunk under the bed of the trunk.

I test drove one and found very quickly it's not for me. There is no foot room in it. The one thing I really liked was the hidden trunk in the bed. Wish other similar vehicles had the same.

Excellent in all aspects, exterior and interior whether it’s just me or two couples on ski trips , road trips & hauling grandkids around .
