Best truck I could have purchased at the time!

This truck was very innovative for 2006. The tailgate opens standard as well as sideways. It also has a large compartment under the truck bed. I've used it to store luggage as well as an extra cooler when camping. It also contains a drain plug to empty left over water. The interior is comfortable and it has a very smooth ride.

Amazing truck!

Over 30 plus safety features, Driving performance better than anything I've owned. Handles well, good gas mileage for a truck. Rear bed storage is a plus

Best truck ever owned

I purchased our 2006 Ridgeline with 249,000 miles and I loved it. With all the miles it still kept going and never failed. It has a 5,000 pound towing capacity and I used it to tow our boat and did a great job, and the standard AWD for the first generation Ridegeline helped it pull out of wet boat ramps with ease. It had plenty of storage and after 12 years and now 273,000 miles it looks fantastic. The body and suspension is starting to rust but the engine has yet to give up. I highly recommend.

It?s like the energizer bunny...

It keeps going and going. Classic design. Comfortable ride. Well thought out design inside and out. Truck in the bed is a great feature! Looks like a truck and provides the comfort of an SUV.

Amazing truck. First I've owned!

Many safety features. This vehicle exceeded my expectations. Drives good, lots of extras and rear storage. Warning for upcoming maintenance. Love the look and body style

Don't trust the "174 point inspection"

This car had very bad rear-view backing up visability. Way to many controls with poor details on how to operate. A steering wheel that blocked instruament panel no matter what position I had the steering wheel in for driving.

Ridgelines blues

The Ridgeline falls apart after 50,000 miles. Get ready to start spending on this vehicle. The quality of the parts must be cheap otherwise they wouldn't have to be replaced so soon. New battery installed by dealership. Never connected the J bolts back up and put a screw in the terminal to hold the terminal cable tight. Shabby work

Honda Ridgeline: if you want a truck but don't

Let me explain what I mean by my Headline. The Honda Ridgeline is the truck that people purchase who want a truck so they can take the trash to the dump, go buy those tall potted plants or maybe go pick up a recliner; but don't want a 'real' truck. The Ridgeline is essentially the Honda Pilot with a truck bed. Now don't get me wrong, the interior styling and versatility of the Ridgeline is great but it is not a real truck. The 4x4 is not for going offroad. It is merely a utilization tool for mountain or rocky terrain. I tried to take my Ridgeline to a beach access and I thought the vehicle was going to explode just trying to make it to a harder part of ground. Unless you are a commuter who live in an urban environment and also wants a vehicle to haul your camping equipment, fishing poles for fishing or some other similar activity...I suggest you get something else. To be honest.

Most practical and comfortable car I have owned

This is a very verstile vehicle. Great for all things, great handling, comfortable ride, plenty of cargo space and I was able to tow a 26ft 4200lbs camper with no problem!
