Gentleman's Truck

Some folks say this isn't a real truck. But if you want a wonderfully smooth ride, ingenious places to put your stuff, reliability, and style, this IS your truck. We wanted room for 4 and this truck is spacious. We can haul anything we have need to haul and look good doing it. What more could you ask for in a truck?

2012 Honda Ridgeline RTL

I loved the ridgeline when I had it. Had lots of room and was very comfortable on long trips which we did a lot of. It averaged about 17 mpg not the best but it was a great truck. It had 130,000 miles when I traded it in and it could've gone another 100,000 miles. No problems with it just wanted something smaller and more economical. Would recommend if you like how SUVs or cars drive but want a truck.

Great Vehicle

I wanted a full size truck and my wife wanted an SUV. The Honda Ridgeline is a perfect compromise and we are both very happy we purchased it. It is comfortable, drives nice and loaded with features. Cant go wrong with a Honda!

A woman that loves her first Honda Ridgeline!

My truck is a beauty! I bought my 2012 Honda Ridgeline used with 94,000 miles, no complaints. Not only is she pretty driving down the highway, she hauls my kayaks with ease! It is so convenient to just load them in the back, and the hidden trunk is an added storage bonus. I really love that it has a full back seat for passengers, nice leg room and they ride comfortably. I love my Honda Ridgeline!

Love it totally!

I have had my Ridgeline for about 2 yrs now. Bought it used (was very hard to find a used one, took 4 months). I love it. Like they say, its a truck, a car, carries things in the trunk and the bed, fits 5 people very comfortably and runs like a charm. Also took it over the mountains in the winter and it went on the ice and snow better than most other vehicles. Only problem I have with it is that it hydroplanes vey easily. I have nice new tires on it but men keep telling me that it would be the tires not the truck that causes it so I will talk to some tire guys eventually. But otherwise I love this tuff lil truck/car!

My second 1st Gen Ridgeline

I purchased a new 2007 Ridgeline RTL and drove it over 202,000 miles. All I had to do was tires, filters, fluids and wipers. I changed the timing belt when recommended, and the brake pads when needed, otherwise the truck kept going and going without fail or unplanned expense. It was such a great vehicle, I had to have another one. I found a 2012 and made it mine. The things these trucks provide are just perfect for my lifestyle. I shoot independent film, the truck hauls film cameras, lighting, costuming, xxxxxxeasily. I play in a classic rock band, the truck hauls a whole drumset, and a big PA system to the gig, without fail. There is not another truck on the road with the cavernous center console, large glove box, roomy backseat storage, a useable and rugged bed, and (holy cow!) That big in-bed trunk! Its amazing! Road trips are so much fun, you put the luggage in the trunk, the big cooler in the backseat, your best friend up front with you, fire up the navi, and go! Any other truck on the market would leave me feeling like I was missing something. I don't need to tow a giant heavy trailer, or boat, I don't need pull up stumps with tractor like torque. I need to take lots of stuff to the gig or the set, and get there comfortably in a super dependable versatile truck. The Ridgeline delivers.

Ridglines are amazing!

Very excited about purchasing my used 2012 Honda Ridgeline RTL. It is a great family vehicle that offers not only room for 5 people but also the ability to tow/transport this. In my estimation it is the perfect "city truck". The ride is smooth and the handling even.
