- This is my thoughts on the 2024 Honda Ridgeline RTL after one month of ownership and how I'm adjusting after moving from a full-size truck to a mid-size truck.

I agree. The naturally aspirated V6, built in bedliner, the deep trunk, the ability to haul 4 X 8 sheets of plywood and drywall with ease, the swing out tailgate, the smooth ride, comfortable wide interior and Hondas reliability and build quality especially on the Vtech V6 are the main reasons I like the Ridgeline the best. I owned 2 Rams , one F150 and 2 Bronocs and I like the Ridgeline the best. Also the Ridgeline has the distinction of being the most American-made pickup truck.
Yes! I’m actually surprised at how much I’m enjoying this truck compared to past full size trucks I’ve owned. I’m very happy with my choice.
Great review. I researched all mid-sized trucks and ended up with a 2023 RTL and I never even considered a Honda before. Now with a year of ownership I have no regrets. Every time I drive my Ridgeline I appreciate this truck's AWD, cargo capacity, ride comfort, handling, V6 power, and I'm averaging 22 -24MPG.
Right on!
I have an 18 RTL and just love it. It does have a heated steering wheel and speakers in the truck bed. We've taken it to NASCAR races and used the trunk as a huge beer cooler because it has a drain plug. Speakers in back and to the tailgating experience.
I love my 2024 Ridgeline a lot. It is so wonderful and designed for function and comfort.
I absolutely agree.
I have a 2020 Black Edition. I Love it . The best thing is on those cold mornings. The heated steering wheel. Is supper nice. No more frozen fingers. This is my 2nd Ridgeline. My 1st was a 2007 RTS I bought used and drove it for 10 years.
I think the RTL is the best value among the trim levels. With leather seats, memory seats, Sirius XM, improved tech center, and power rear window are all the amenities you really need.
I agree. I do like the blacked out look more than the chrome tho. I ordered the black grill piece to replace the chrome on my front end... and I changed out the chrome badging on the tailgate to black. I now have mostly the look I was hoping for in the upper trim levels. You definitely get a pretty well equipped vehicle in the RTL.. definitely the most bang for buck value compared to the upper trims.
I saw one comment talking about how the Honda Ridgeline unibody truck is not a truck because it's not a body on frame. That's like saying the 1969 Corvette body on frame car is a truck. There's no way a body on frame Corvette has a 5000lbs towing capacity with a 1500lbs payload capacity. Worst part is the Toyota Tacoma went with a turbo hybrid, turbo's make cars really inefficient. Especially when you stepping on the gas, the naturally aspirated engine will be more efficient. The new Toyota Tacoma front differential already broke, and with a small fuel tank of 18.2 Gallons, it doesn't go far at all. 350 miles of range without towing, but with towing, especially with a turbo expect 5-10mpg. The honda Ridgeline is not only more efficient, it has a bigger fuel tank, and with no turbo, mpg will be looking pretty good. With midsize pick-up trucks a unibody just makes sense, the body on frame doesn't get fully utilized like the full size trucks do. The size of an engine does play a part of fuel economy, but a turbo will always destroy MPG, just the reality.
I have a 2012 Ridgeline Sport with nearly 200k miles. I essentially bought it new in 2012. I’ve never had any problems with it. During these past 12 years … my wife has had 3 different cars while I’ve just driven the Ridgeline. I love it ….. it does everything I need it to.
I traded in my 2017 Honda Ridgeline for a new 2024 Honda Ridgeline Black Edition in March. I think the Ridgeline is a great vehicle for my limited needs of a truck. Since I’m retired, I have zero need for a larger truck. There was nothing wrong with the 2017 truck but
I just decided to upgrade to the newer model.
My wife and I also own a 2017 Honda Accord and 2006 Honda Odyssey. I believe Honda builds excellent vehicles and I expect my new Ridgeline to be as dependable as my previous Honda’s.
Good to hear. I've had nothing but Chevy trucks for the past 25 years.. with the exception of a used 2006 Tundra that I had for about a year (that had tons of issues). All my Chevy trucks had problems.. but my most recent 2017 Silverado had a catastrophic failure (Transmission) and that was the last straw for me. I'm hoping my new Honda is as reliable as my research leads me to think it will be.
Nice video. I've had a 2017 for almost 6 years. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Ridgeline's cabin space and rear seat set up with the ease of folding (You can do it one handed) is just unmatched right now. You can fit an entire bike back there with the seats folded up or just fold one and still have room for storage and one passenger. Don't know where you live, but wait till you drive on the ice and snow. Damn thing is just a snow beast!
Simply rock solid and practical.
I’m in Massachusetts. So I’ll look forward to playing in the snow. 😀
I'm from Upstate NY, Yes the Ridgeline is good in the snow, but you'll get additional confidence with a set of snow tires.
Obviously.
Enjoy your new truck. 👍
I got a Trailsport in March and I couldn’t be happier, I did a road trip from Quincy to lake George NY on the mass pike 70-80 mph and I averaged 27.7 mpg .
I traded my Tacoma for the Ridgeline and it’s a 100x better for daily driving.
I've only done one road trip so far. From Medway to Bennington VT to get my daughter from college. It was around 340 miles round trip and I was averaging about 25 mpgs. Not horrible. My old Silverado used to average around 19 mpgs on that same trip. The real savings for me is daily driving. My silverado only got around 14mpgs city.. and I'm not getting around 19mpgs. Not amazing.. but still much better for my type of daily driving.
I’m considering trading my Tacoma too, any regrets so far?
@@Retep33 none , if you don’t go off-road the Ridgeline does everything you need in a pickup and the trunk is extremely useful, the back seat you can actually put adults in. Take one for a test drive and see what you think, good luck.
@@stevepatch1809 awesome, thanks!!
Great presentation. I also have a Silverado with transmission issues. I'm between the Honda Ridgeline and the Ford f150. So far, you are the only one of all the videos that I have seen for the Ridgeline that explains the needs of what I'm looking for.
I was worried about trading down to a mid size. But I’m really happy with my choice. I’m really enjoying this truck.
I’m betting you will find that if you need to tow more or do much off-roading, the extra capabilities of the F-150 would better suit you. But if not, the Ridgeline is in most ways more enjoyable for the reasons given in this video. It’s just super smooth, comfortable, big enough yet easy to maneuver around and park places, super functional, solid naturally aspirated engine.
@@AlowisciousMahoney , as I get older, less serious off-road and less towing.
@@germanjimenez5968 It's an old man's truck. I know because I am an old man. I never see younger folk driving these trucks. The ride is awesome and seats are great 2020 RTL-E
Thanks for the video. Nice truck!
I have a 23 RTL and have been very happy with it. I am thankful not to have the rough ride of other pickups like the Tacoma or Maverick. I wish the mpg was better on the Ridgeline, but a hard cover on the bed raises highway mpg to about 28 mpg.
I was considering trading my Silverado before the release of the 2024 but I didn't like the armrest and center console. I decided to hold off hoping the changes in '24 would sway me. But I ultimately decided to keep my Silverado for the sole reason that it was paid off. But when the Transmission failed.. I had no choice and the changes to the Ridgeline, tho minor, were enough to sway me. I was only getting around 14mpg city and 18-19mpg highway in my Silverado.. so the 19 city and 25 Highway on the Ridgeline is a welcome improvement.
Thanks, Good review 3.5 V6 Awsome truck!!!!! 😊
thanks for this video. I just picked myself up a Black Edition last week and I'm very satisfied with it
Thanks for your honest assessment and not another commercial. I, too, have a 2024 Ridgeline, newly purchased. There were no Trailsports available in this area. I agree with all of what you said as I drove a Colorado and didn't like the interior space or the engine noise inside the cab. It is the best practical vehicle available, in my humble opinion. I did add a VCM muzzler, black running boards, and mud guards. I do wish it had parking sensors, surround cameras, and rear view mirror camera as the visibility out the back is not the best. I plan to dump the oil at about 1000 miles and change every 5000 after that as I plan to keep it for some time. It's a smooth running nice riding vehicle. Maybe not the best off-road, but for snow and ice it should be great. I am retired and plan on selling my 2017 Avalon and having this for my only vehicle. Thanks again.
Great review. I'm loving my 2022 RTL-E @10,000 miles.
Wow! This is exactly what I have been looking for! Great review!
Thx for watching. Glad it was helpful.
Thanks for your honest review, I purchased a 24 B/E in Feb after 4k miles I love it more every time I drive. Downsized from a 2010 F150 with 175K miles what a big difference, (my 3rd full size) More folks who want a mid-size should try it.
Nice. I would've loved to get a BE. I was in a pinch due to the transmission failing on my Silverado and there was a stop sale order on most of the Ridgeline inventory so I had to take what I could get. But I'm still pretty happy with the RTL trim.
Been think of upgrading to a Honda in the future . My 18 year old Tacoma still runs Awesome. Hard to give up a truck that is payed for and still runs perfect . Good Video !!
No doubt. I wouldn't have traded my Silverado if the transmission hadn't failed. I wanted to.. but it was hard to do since it was paid for. But once the transmission failed.. on top of needing new tires.. and it just wasn't a good decision to fix it. Trade was the only option...
@@randomstuffwithjoe I agree you made a good decision ! keep your updates coming !! thanks
Have the same truck with about 1700 miles as well. I like it, and it feels like a truck to me. Averaging about 22 miles to the gal city/highway in the mountains. Got some new floor mats and the trunk compartment dividers, but that's the only money I have put into it. I'm satisfied with the truck so far, and it was a better choice than my first choice, a Toyota Tacoma.
All weather floor mats are on my list of things to do before the winter months. Congrats on your new truck.
@@randomstuffwithjoe Consider Tuxmats. I had the weather tech but much prefer the Tux.
Beautiful truck. There’s a lot to love about Hondas. I recently purchased a Toyota SUV after years of buying Honda’s. I got fed up with Honda refusing to modernize while having higher prices than their competitors. Even at the highest trim, ventilated seats, HUD, 360 cameras and autonomous driving were not even options. I miss Honda’s solid build quality and quiet comfortable interiors. With regular maintenance, they do not break down.
Oddly, some of the other Honda vehicles have the 360 cams and ventilated seats. I'm not sure why they haven't incorporated them into the Ridgeline. But I'm still pretty happy with the truck. Its more practical for my type of driving than my Silverado was.
Love how it drives, very comfy seats and very versatile with the rear bench seat up, the swing out tailgate and the in-bed trunk. Wish Honda offered a digital rear view camera, bed camera, surround view camera. It's still a big vehicle at 211" long and it's 20024, these features are becoming more commonplace now to make life a little easier for drivers.
Nice video. I have a black 2023 RTL-E and I like it. When you consider all the features it comes with it’s very competitively priced. It’s not a rock crawler but does everything I need to do and is surprisingly capable with it’s full time awd system.
Have a 23' RTL. Great truck! Smooooth ride.
You made a good choice. Your Ridgeline seems well equipped. I have checked out a few midsized trucks and found that the Honda Ridgeline is most roomy and comfortable. Also, the dual action tailgate and the locking inbed trunk. It is better equipped than my Acura RDX.
Right on
Nice video, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I made a similar decision in 2022 when I downsized from our Ram to an RTL-E. I initially loved the car like ride and handling, the ease in parking and like you pointed out, the storage. I too especially liked the in-bed storage area as it came in handy taking boat related items to our marina. I’m older and retired and climbing in and out was also very easy. I say “was” because after a few road trips to visit our grown children and grandkids the highway experience wasn’t so great for us. The Ridgeline lacked highway power on long road trips and couldn’t get over 10 mpgs on rare occasions when we towed our boat. While I liked a lot of features my wife wouldn’t let up regarding the cartoon like graphics on the info system and the really poor navigation maps (RTL-Es had nav). The Ridgeline lasted 6 months and we traded it in for an F150 4X4 V8 which incidentally gets 18-22 mpg (more than I ever saw in the Ridgeline). It’s funny how things can come full circle. Earlier this year I had some serious health issues and surgery, we sold the boat, aren’t doing road trips anymore and I’ve been thinking about revisiting the Ridgeline Black edition. Hence I came across your video. Great video, hope you love it. Sounds like you had a better mindset going into the Ridgeline, maybe my timing was just a bit off. Funny I came across your Indian video as well, glad you like it. I Also sold our Harley and went to a Can Am RT Limited (anyone can ride one of these). Best of luck. G 😊
Congratulations. My family and I love ours...sure could use improvements and far more options and less considering it is more American than American brands...but high prices due to made in America by Americans with high wages and unions cost to manufacturer
I bought a 2024 Honda Ridgeline trail sport awesome vehicle.
One of the best vehicles on the road and it’s the best truck for its class.
Without a doubt its the most versatile truck.. tho some people will still say its not a real truck. lol
The bed trunk is incredible. I LOVE that feature, especially considering theft is legal now in most places in America, I do not want to be running around with Milwaukee tools in a traditional tool box because a tool box now just screams “steal my tools.” IMO that’s worth it, not to mention the AWD.
Last time I checked.. theft was not legal anywhere in America. Do you believe in the tooth fairy too? But ya.. the trunk is a great feature.
I just purchased a 2023 RTL-E with 4,200 miles, I really enjoy it. Good review!
Very well done, sir, and God bless👌🏾
Thank you kindly.
Joe,
I may be biased since I have owned Ridgelines since '09 after having four full size pickup trucks from '83 until then.
Recently I wanted to get a new truck. I looked at all the mid size pickups except the Jeep.
The most comfortable, spacious interior and AWD at all times the 2nd Gen felt like,;" Honey, I'm home "! Honorable mention to the Ranger. But no AWD for when we used to have winter.
Don't get side steps for the look
. They are usually in the way for ingress/ egress.
Hopefully you get some time for more content on your RL.
Pulled trigger on 24 Trailsport after leasing a 21 Sport. No-brainer purchase compared to every other mid-size truck in the market. Great video & review - now get back to that nap!
Ha... nap time's over. Back to work. Congrats on the new truck.
I have a Black Edition 2024 Ridgeline .. and you're correct. It's a homerun for mid-size truck owners (that don't need a purest off-road machine).
ya.. but oddly, many people don't give it a solid look because they "think" its not a real truck.
Honda ridgeline does have a real frame built-in the unibody, That few talk about in reviews .
Nice truck, wish they gave it a nice panorama roof.
Ya.. but I haven't had a moon roof in a long time so I'm happy with it.
Loved your review!
I've been researching mid size pickups, (coming from an F150) for almost a year,
I rarely need the 6 ft bed (Unless helping a friend move...aargh!)
My wife refuses to drive my F150 because it's "too big".
I don't need to go 0-60 in 3 seconds with the turbo's/ Hybrids. My commute is 1 mile!
I've never owned a Honda before, but I've owned 6 Acura's, so I probably have the Honda vibe.
You hit all the points I'm interested in in your review.
Thank you!
It’s a solid choice. I am not missing my Silverado at all.
my wife refused to drive "my" Ram 1500 because it was too big. However she loves driving "our" Ridgeline.
You would love the heated seeing wheel - never had it before but looooove !
2021 Black Edition. It’s funny when you said the interior has to feel spacious, my sentiments exactly. Tried the Tacoma, Ford, and Chevy and going from a full size Tundra this was the one that felt the most comparable inside. Honda reliability was also important to me as my last two trucks were a 07 Taco and 12 Tundra.
If this Ridgeline is even half as reliable as my Honda lawn mower.. it'll last a very long time. lol
I have added pin strips,chrome edge protection to all 4 doors,a weathertech bug shield, a light strip under the tail gate,and changed the daytime lights to leds and am getting many positive comments on the truck.
Can you send me a link to the LED running lights? I hate the non-LED lights. I was under the impression that those couldn't be swapped for LED.. but I'd do it in a heartbeat. Thx
Congratulations on your new truck. I've had 4 Ridgelines over the years and agree it's a good option for those that don't need a full size truck. I laugh when people call it a NART (Not A Real Truck). Some get all bent out of shape when the Ridgeline is referred to as a truck.
I definitely would choose the Honda next would be the Frontier. I think Honda offers much for the price and with a proven reliablility.
The Nissan was too cramped for interior space tho. I'm not sure I would've gone to a mid-size truck if it weren't for the Honda.
Hey Joe, nice truck. You were brave to dump the traditional, full size truck for Honda. Great choice if you don't hard-core off-road or need massive towing.
Great review , video. Looking to downsize from a Ram 1500. I like the Ram but I feel as a Honda loyal customer (4) I'm going to love owning a Honda truck. Hope to buy a Trail Sport in the near future. Never looked at the Ridgeline until the redesign. Honda is one with a remining aspirated V6 can't go wrong there. The Hemi in the Ram was nice but in today's economy gas$ time has come.
My family has had a string of bad luck with Chevy.. I think I'm gonna be happier in the Honda.
I 100% agree with everything you said and me being a Tacoma owner. Same as you, mine is paid for and there’s no need to buy anything else. Just as a suggestion, your mpgs will do better if you air up you tires to 36 psi. I think Honda has them at 32 psi for comfort.
My tires were aired up at 38psi on delivery which is where I’d probably keep them anyway. Thx for watching.
True about that. Not very young drivers drive the Ridgeline.
I bought the TrailSport in this color. Only reason I moved up to the TrailSport is I hate chrome trim! Beautiful truck though. How difficult was it to do the Ridgeline lettering on the tailgate? I want to do that as well as fender flares.
I probably would’ve opted for the trail sport or black edition but I was in a bind due to my Silverado transmission failing. I had to settle for what I could get. But I’m changing the chrome trim to black so I’m satisfied now. The black letters were super easy. If it takes you more than 10 minutes, I’ll assume you’re a double amputee. 😂
@@randomstuffwithjoec’mon man… it took me 15 minutes to do… but I was also super meticulous about it because I was paranoid I’d end up with a crooked letter
I have a 2022 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E. Love this Truck. Hauls all i need it to. Great for long haul road trips. Grear fuel. Why buy anything else.
Very good.
Nice honest review. The only thing keeping me from buying the RTL is the chrome trim. I wish there was an option to black out the trim.
I didn’t have an option bc my Transmission failed on my Silverado and I needed to get a new vehicle immediately and the RTL was my only option unless I waited a week or two. I did swap the chrome piece on the front grill yesterday and that only cost me $150. And I blacked out the tailgate too. I may wrap the chrome around the windows and there will be no more chrome.
Did u also consider the VCM module? I’m gonna get it when I get my Ridgeline. Wish I knew of these when I had a Pilot
VCM Module? I’m not sure what that is.
@@randomstuffwithjoe Variable Cylinder Management. It prevents the cylinders from shutting down. Which in time causes damage over time. ie burning oil.
He is right, anything that makes it run on all 6 cylinders all the time are worth it. Especially if you plan to keep it long term.
I have been considering trading my 20 Tacoma in cement gray all blacked out for a sonic gray black edition I’ve been researching this truck for a while and think the interior comfort and space compared to my Tacoma make it hands down a more practical vehicle for our family trips. Great video thanks for sharing
Thx for watching.
Keep your Tacoma for now
I like everything about the Ridgeline except the push button gear changer. I just can’t live with that.
I was very hesitant due to the shifter as well but I had bigger dislikes with all of the other mid size options so I had to make the compromise. Turns out.. the push buttons aren’t nearly as bad as I thought they’d be.
I am purchasing a ridgeline soon and was wondering where you got the tailgate lettering and black Honda badge?
They are Honda OEM parts. You can get them thru your dealer, but I found it cheaper online.
hondaautomotiveparts.com
@@randomstuffwithjoe I got my Ridgeline this week and purchased the Ridgeline letters and black Honda emblem and installed them myself, great cost savings. Thanks for the video. Loving my Ridgeline! Was able to get the trail sport trim level for less than the cost of the RTL.
If u have your apple car play nav on an active turn by turn then you go to navigation on ur dash it will display your turn by turn direction instead of the compass
Thx for the tip.
Test drove one this weekend. Loved everything about it except just not enough legroom. Im only 5' 11" if theyremoved the kickplate under the parking brake or gave the drivers seat a couple more inches just any modification that would allow momentary straightening of the legs. The seats are very comfortable but a cooled/ventilated option would be very welcome as well. Sooo close yet so far away. Legroom for an average size guy was a no go.
I'm only 5'10" and I don't find leg room to be an issue at all. But I guess it depends on what you're used to. I believe the black edition has ventilated heat/cool seats. But the other trims do not.
I’m right at 6 feet tall and I have zero issues with leg room in the Ridgeline. To each their own.
I'm thinking about buying a Ridgeline and would like to put a canopy or tonneau cover on it. What brand is yours and does it leak when it rains?
The tonneau cover brand is North Mountain. Purchased on Amazon for under $200. Works great.. no leaks.
Once you get 10k-15K you will see considerably better mpg.
I just passed 5000 miles on my 2024 Ridgeline Black Edition and compared to my previous midsize trucks, I love it. It's a little bigger and more spacious than the Frontier and Colorado that I've previously owned without being too big to revenuer easily. I also chose it for Honda's reliability and I chose the BE for the extra comfort features (heated steering wheel, vented seats, etc), which are important to me since I commute 2 hrs everyday. It gets great fuel economy and even after I disabled the VCM. The downsides: weak spongy brakes and awful Honda Sensing driver assist accuracy. Overall, this is the best truck I've every owned and I plan to keep it for the long term.
Which VCM defeat device did you use?
For the on-off engine try to connect your phone with USB cable and maybe that stops. My mother have a Jeep and also have that stupid function; by accident I discovered that if anything connected on the USB and or on the 12 volt outlet will keep the vehicle running so I pickup a small flash light that charge on the 12 volt outlet and keep plugged when driving the vehicle.
By any chance did you made this video in Leominster MA?
Not Leominster. I was in Hyde Park for this video. My parents are buried there.. and I was visiting them when I filmed it.
@@randomstuffwithjoe You definitely pick a beautiful place to do the video, I am on the market for a new vehicle and right now I have only 2 in consideration. Ridgeline and Frontier, I don't want nothing to do with the other 4 cyl turbo charge engines and or hybrid that every other vehicle manufacturer are using now, a simple and straightforward 6 cyl aspirated engine. Thanks for the video, very informative and definitely helpful too.
I was at a Honda dealership yesterday, and there were stop sale notices on the Ridgelines. Not sure if it is on all trims.
Ya. You gotta call around. Most trucks can’t be sold until Honda fixes the wiring harness to the rear camera. I got lucky as this truck was built and shipped after the stop sale so it already had the fixed harness installed from the factory.
@@randomstuffwithjoe ok thanks! Seems as if a stop sale order for an issue like this, is a bit of overkill. But I guess liability may be an issue.
@@davidhorne2326 from my understanding, the stop sale was a federal government mandate. The rear cameras are now a federal safety requirement.
18 and 19 mpg?
I've owned mine for 3 months. I'm averaging 22 to 24 mixed driving.
24 to 28 mpg on the highway.
In town I don't use it. But for long distance driving, I engage the ECON mode. This controls throttle response, shifting, and cylinder deactivation. I get up to 28 mpg. Some of the guys on UA-cam are seeing 30 mpg.
Don't use it all the time. It's probably not good for the motor and transmission?
I do a lot of in-city driving (Boston) with congestion. I did get 25.5 on a 300+ round trip on the highway tho. 18 mpg city is what Honda claims.. so I wasn't expecting much better.
I included a link of the module n now I don’t see it.
will golf clubs fit in the trunk?
I’m not a golfer, but I’d guess yes. It’s a huge trunk.
My only fear with these is the Variable Cylinder Management which has not been as reliable as this V6 was without it. That is the main reason I haven't purchased one.
I did a lot of research before I purchased and I didn't hear of a single issue with the VCM. I did see some people disabling it for fear of issues, but I'm not worried about it. I think its more paranoia and its not based on any real data.
@@randomstuffwithjoe Glad you are confident. My research into it showed there was a increased probability of specific issues with engine mounts, fouled plugs and potential cylinder ring issues over 100,000 miles. Not all of them, but a higher probability than without VCM and I want to keep my next vehicle for 15 years minimum so will far exceed that mileage.
@@randomstuffwithjoe Not worried about the VCM but I did buy the cable that switched off auto start/stop. Its saved me a lot of money in the cuss jar.
How tall are you. Trying to determine if the rear seat leg room is enough. I would like a truck that fits in the garage.
I’m 5’11”. I’d be comfortable in the back for a fairly long trip with one other adult, but 3 adults my size would be too crowded for my liking. 3 kids… no prob.
@@randomstuffwithjoe thanks
Hi, what color is this ridgline?
Sonic gray pearl
@@randomstuffwithjoe thanks
The automatic stop lessens the life of the engine for sure always turn it off
Disapointed on the 19 m p g--Had a friend who had an older model seh got 24 mpg mixed driving v 6.
18 city is what Honda claims, so I’m not sure why you’d be disappointed. Perhaps your friend exaggerated his MPGs a bit?
@@randomstuffwithjoe NO you don't understand I saw the average on Her DASH AREA was like 24..3--a mix of city & hwy--I won't buy a v6 truck IF it don't get near this average--also the 2.7 4 cyl tacaoma does well on gas.
@@shadboyI’m averaging 19-21 mpg commuting to work with stop and go and I did a road trip 250 miles and I got 27.7 mpg doing 70-80 mph
@@stevepatch1809 THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT--MOST PEOPLE GET MORE MPG THAN what it says on the truck window ***
@shadboy Go watch the MPG comparison for Midsized trucks. I think 🤔 I saw it on TFL or....? . The average real world MPG for the RIDGELINE 6 cylinder is alot closer than you think to 4 cylinder turbos. Small difference
I hate the timing belt issue. Must change at 90K 2000 dollars.
$2k seems a bit steep. I'm on a Ridgeline facebook group and people are paying under $1000 at independent mechanic shops. Dealers are getting around $1200-1300.
105K miles roughly.
I really like this vehicle, however, in my opinion it’s still not a $40,000 base priced price truck
Unfortuntely, every vehicle is overpriced these days, and the Ridgeline is no exception. But comparatively speaking, the Ridgeline is a bargain compared to other comparable trucks (Tacoma, Ranger, Canyon/Colorado, etc). You get way more bang for your buck with the Honda.
UA-cam - what the hell a commercial/ad every 3-4 minutes ! might as well watch regular TV ! Dam*
First time on UA-cam? 😂
It’s not a true truck if it’s not a body on frame….period. But it is a Honda and that’s a great thing and with a bed for doing things that you would do with an SUV
Yawn. 🥱
@@randomstuffwithjoe Just ignore the haters
It's a truck. Made by Honda.
The Ridgeline is the truck other trucks want to be when they grow up.
And yet the unibody Ford Maverick is outselling the body on frame Ford Ranger...
