Its 2024 I got my 2006 RTL in 2007 outside of the light

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.

Awesome truck with wonderful ride.

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 like the ridgeline but...

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.

Best truck I ever had.

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.

Love the interior

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..

Very unique 4 door sedan with open trunk

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.

No room😞

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.

Worst vehicle I've ever owned, a lemon.

Although comfortable, the warning lights are frequent and usually nonsense designed to get the vehicle back to the dealership for overpriced unnecessary service. Honda has a penchant for using cheap hardware. The radiator had to be replaced because a ferrous metal washer rusted and caused the cooler line fitting to fail.
