Great “SUT” (sports utility truck).

Great “SUT” (sports utility truck). This vehicle will last you well past the 250,000 mile mark. I wish Honda would level it from production and get away from that rake look. This vehicle was not designed to keep up with the likes of 4Runners, Tacoma’s or the GMC midsize trucks. It’s a Honda with a Honda twist to be different. Once they make this vehicle leveled from the factory with at least 8 1/2 inches of ground clearance, this vehicle will need very little mods if any. P.S. Honda start making timing chain V6 engines and ditch the timing belt… our (consumer) cost will drop dramatically after 100K.

Great overall truck, front seats need to some work

Love the Ridgeline. Had a 2017 and upgraded to the 2021. Only issue in my 2021 is the front seats. The back rests are creaky. I think Honda could have made a more sturdy seat for the price.

Fantastic value.

Fantastic. Comfortable. Quiet. Great storage in bed for my tools. Lots of cabin space. The bed hauls everything I need. Great gas mileage averaging 10.7L/100 km for mixed city/hwy driving. Drives very smooth. My whole family enjoys driving it- even the reluctant teenagers. Can’t say enough good things.

Useful but frustrating

Very comfortable truck, right size and decent mileage. Reliable for the first year of ownership. Almost all electronics and drivers aids are terrible. Phone integration is poor, just making a call if frustrating. Wireless charging is poor. Auto cruise control is very poor. Auto high beams are atrocious. Collision warning has a mind of it's own. Lane keeping is fair. Navigation is fair. Materials are good but corners have been cut from previous Hondas. With all it's flaws still the best truck in it's segment but, if another manufacturer made something competitive I would switch.

Nice Ride

Very confortable ride. Average 24.9 mpg. A little pricy. I have dtiven 8500 happy miles. Enough towing capacity for by Bass Tracker boat. Only problems so far: All 4 wheels were out of balance and driver’s side view mirror vibrated at speeds above 40 mph. (All were warranty items)

Very Happy so Far

I just purchased my Honda Ridgeline recently but out of the blocks it appears to be everything I expected. It handles great and the many features are user friendly. I have already received many positive comments regarding its appearance and I expect to have many years of great ownership.

Best truck I’ve ever owned.

This truck provides for me the ability to accomplish many different tasks, from loading it up at the garden center to commuting in comfort and safety.

Super Sharp & Great Riding Truck!

We love our new Honda Ridgeline Truck! We got the HPD package, which makes it extra sporty and it drives and rides wonderfully! Tameron Honda, and Salesman Ry Cleveland were great through the whole process. It was a great choice for me and my husband!
