Great Pickup Truck

I was looking for a smaller pickup truck and considered the Chevy Colorado and Toyota Tacoma. The Tacoma and Colorado were a were a little more truck like than what I wanted. I wanted something comfortable that I could haul something in. The Ridgeline meets all my needs, had many more features and after driving the choice was clear.

ridgeline

Im getting use to my vehicle but the manual is confusing about interior functions. I dont have much liighting from the dash at nite, and I miss my CD player. The BSM could be more streamline and use of the side mirrors like Mazda has. Also, it would have been nicer to have sirrus station info to accomidate my 3 month trial. Thanks

The right size truck for me

The overall finish is great has all the great extras. Rear leg room in the crew cab could be a bit bigger. So far that?s my only criticism. I am pleased

Amazing vehicle!

This is the perfect truck for my family. There is plenty of leg room in the front and back. So many features that I'm still learning them all! Great customer service and follow up. Good gas mileage. Handles better in the snow than anything I've ever owned. So happy with my purchase.

A wonderful truck.

Did not need a full size pickup anymore. This truck is just perfect form my needs. Honda gets an A+ on this one.

Driven for less than a month

So far I love it. Just as advertised, drives like an SUV but works like a truck. No complaints but it is early. Gas mileage a little less than the posted 19/24 especially in the city.

Very reliable truck, great for towing my boat

Great for all around use and dependable. It is a very smooth riding truck with plenty leg room. It was what I was looking for. And my second ridgeline that I brought.

Perfect Choice

After more than a year of research and truly understanding my needs, the 2018 Ridgeline RTL-e was the vehicle for me. I wanted a SUV for longer road trips, I wanted a pickup for those home projects, I wanted reliability. I don't have a boat or trailer. I traveled from Georgia to New York and returned in my new ride. Sat high on the road and drove like an SUV. Average about 25 miles/gallon. Very comfortable and quiet. From me to get the same trim level in a f 150 I would had to spend another 8-10k.

2018 Ridgeline RTL

I'm from the generation that used to say that pickup trucks don't have power windows. Well everything changes. I now have a truck with heated leather seats and I like it. I've never been much of a car guy and the Ridgeline gives me the comfort I need for long hauls. I'm 280 and its a more comfortable ride than my buddy's new full size crew cab. I've only had this truck for two weeks but the test drive is what won me over. This is the smoothest riding truck I've ever owned and has quick handling and has that solid feeling suspension you only get on a truck or dedicated off road machine. The interior is well laid out and has some great smart additions.It does not fail to impress when I punch it and or when I pulled my trailer loaded with sheet-rock (23 bds). It never bogged down. I've been driving trucks (tractor trailers, fire trucks and down) all my life and have owned all three US brands starting with a 67' extended van. Now, there is nothing like having a heavy duty truck to work out of that no matter what you do or load into it, it just keeps going. I have a good feeling this truck will not disappoint me in the future. I like it so much I'm actually putting on dealer accessories already to make it mine. That something I usually wait awhile to do. Good touches are the standard 2"trailer hitch with 7 pin connector and the storage trunk in the bed, I will have to get used to having a composite bed but I have a great deck in my yard made out of that stuff and many of the makers are doing it now. Overall I love the truck so far and I did't even get any of the fancy electronics- more stuff for me to break! I also did some research and found out the truck is made 75% percent in the US. I like that fact but was sad to see that is so much higher than the big 3 US manufacturers.
