    2018 Honda Ridgeline

    Have a 2018 Ridgeline RTL-T bought used with 20,000 miles in 2020. Love the vehicle but since 1/2022 new fuel injectors and 6/2022 Torque converter and new Right front axle. All so far has been covered under warranty - saw the price submitted to Honda for all of it abt $5200. I still love the vehicle but wonder what’s coming next. Power train warranty only good for 60,000 miles and 5 years and my mileage now at 55,000. Hope things better down the road. I added an after market tailgate lock which works perfect includes backup camera.

    Comfort and flexibility all in one.

    Rides like a car. Functions like a pickup. Has good safety features. Gets good mileage. The only short coming in my opinion is a lack of a V8 engine.

    Junk and unreliable

    Very unreliable vehicle. In shop 2 times in first 3 months of ownership. Can tell Honda has dropped the ball on this vehicle. This was a certified used vehicle.

    Drives Like a Luxury Car

    The Ridgeline is an extremely comfortable vehicle. It does not drive like a typical truck and has lots of extras as conveniences for the owners. Honda has a great reputation and they batted 1000 with this one

    Amazing truck for suburban man

    The 2018 Honda Ridgeline RTL-T is a fantastic truck. It accomplishes exactly what I need in a vehicle, and it is super comfortable. I am 6'8" and my Ridgeline not only fits in my townhouse's garage with no problem, I fit in it with plenty of room as well. I love this truck and look forward to driving it every morning.

    Updated from a van to truck

    The 2018 Ridgeline was the color and tan interior that we want. We could not find a 2019 white with tan interior nor the 2020 model was all black inside. It did not have all the newer options that are listed for the 2020 models. We only drive about 8K miles a year and this works great for us. Great to be able to haul stuff in the back that I could not in the van.

    Really best of the small trucks.

    I had a ford F-150 and then a Honda Pilot. No longer needed a large vehicle, but wanted the convenience of a pick-up truck. This truck suits my needs perfectly.

    Overall a really nice truck

    This is the third Ridgeline I have owned and although I really like it I loved my '06 and '07 better. They seemed to be of better utility and value for a mid optioned model. Continue to have front brakes clunking (been in shop 5 times but "no issues"? per service dept. Also blows hot air out of rear vents when front A/C is on, again was told everything "checked out". Very comfortable and well optioned, no doubt, but I think Honda is starting to slip on the quality and dealers dont really seem to care. Buy another new one? On the fence......
