Yeah, its really a 'suburb truck'. But being similar to an SUV and truck is very appealing to us who live in the suburbs. An occasional piece of new furniture, sacks of concrete and lumber for home project, perfect. I appreciate this video because of its detail. I appreciate that someone would do one like this to spare me the visit to the 'shark pool' dealer to find out. Owners of the 'black' model are complaining about how much it shows dirt. btw
I bought the 2017 Honda Ridgeline RTL-T one month ago. My truck is black on black. Having had a 2013 Ridgeline I have a pretty good baseline on the previous Ridgeline vs. the 2017 model. Without a doubt, the latest version by Honda is quieter, gets MUCH better milage, drives smoother and I like the new exterior profile better than the previous Ridgeline. The technology on the new model is crazy good. I has taken me about one month to really command the different options on the in navigation control panel. Apple Car Play is just great. The Honda dealer could have done a much better job getting me up and running with the in dash screen. The long turning radius and lack of the rear window in all models except the Black and E version are the only negatives I have found. I also own two Lexus SUVs. The technology on the Honda is better, much better. Fit and finish is about the same. Time will tell, but so far the new Ridgeline is a great truck that fits my needs as both a daily driver and weekend work truck. I would buy it again.
You forgot the right turn camera the shows up on the screen when you put your blinker on. Other than that you did a great job to showing the truck off. I just bought one myself. Rides crazy smooth (nothing like a truck ride)
My dad's gonna buy one today! Can't wait to see it!!! He's also getting a RTL-T but in the pearl white exterior with the beige leather interior. It's gonna replace his old 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac which he's had since it was new! He's super excited!!!
Another great review, so complete and thorough---head & shoulders above the rest. Because of your review I bought the 2016 Pilot, and it's an awesome vehicle. Thanks again.
Two things are stopping me from buying the Honda Ridgeline.... 1. The sticker shock! 2. Taxes in S. California, depending where you live, is now at 8.9%. That can add from $3,000 to $4,000 onto the price of the Ridgeline folks.
yep I live in las vegas and the taxes are at 8.15% total rip off. That will add $3000-$4000 to the price, not to mention the price of the title and doc fee??????
This is one of my biggest annoyances with Honda. They force you to step up the the highest trim levels (RTL-E or Black Edition) to get a sunroof. It's kind of shady, considering how much this RTL-T trim costs. They at least should have included it on this trim too. They also do the same thing with BSM and other safety features that should be standard on this one. I love the Ridgeline and will probably buy one, but Honda did get a little crazy with the trims and pricing.
What is the height of the bed surface to the ground ? What is the length and the width of the bed to fit an ATV or motorcycle without putting the gate down ?
do I need to buy new WeatherTech floor mats or do the ones from previous model Ridgeline fit? the rears look like they would but not too sure of the fronts.
This thing definitely has some cool features but I can't get past it's "soft" look. Even my wife said she wouldn't drive it because it looks too much like a mini van. I went with the Tacoma instead but I can see the appeal that people have for this truck. It's really purpose built for the suburbs.
did you replace the transmission fluid at 30-40k mikes? My transmission went out in my Ford Fusion before purchasing 2017 Honda Pilot… no issues at 121k miles currently 6 speed
+MikesCarInfo Why not just review all the other trims since people cant afford Black Edition, Rtl-e, Rtl-t or Rtl. I understand if it's a Camaro, Mustang or other vehicle that has different engine choices. Nonetheless, It's still a nice Ridgeline.
+MikesCarInfo I mean I Thank you for the awesome reviews that you do but in a POV of a growing RU-vidr, it's utter useless/pointless when you can just say "different trim offer this & that".
Air Conditioning draws heat out of the car and creates liquid condensation around the evaporator coils that is dispersed under the car in the form of water.
Rather than say that the fuel economy is not accurate you should say we have been idling the engine showing the truck off and you get terrible economy when you park and run the engine to power the AC here in the Southern heat. Get it on the interstate you should see 25 mpg city should probably expect 18 mpg or what ever the expected EPA is to be. I would suspect with the 3/6 engine toggle the truck should get pretty good city economy. The little mirror in the shades cubby is for when you have a baby in the back seat. You left out the actual economy of the vehicle I went to fuel economy.gov and looked it up for you. www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=37404&id=36919&id=37086
That is a good truck you get good in the middle economy with 3/4 ton capacity and towing numbers are really good. IF you need a vehicle that fits all 3 ranges the auto the PU and the SUV feel this is your ride. And gets respectable economy Honda is your ride.
А где кардан и задний редуктор? Он и так то не выезжает по грязи, а сейчас и вовсе телега с кузовом. Стоит за 3000 000 ляма и комплектация с передним приводом ну нах. Буду ездить на своём старом проверенном риджлайн 2005г.в. И держать рядом заряженный телефон , когда застряну. Езжу уже 7лет , все устраивает. Всем удачи. За эти деньги лучше квартиру купить)))

nice vehicle.but two things bothers me. It doesn't look as good as it's midsize counterparts especially the canyon denali. . And it cost way too much than it's peers.
Please do not buy this junk, Honda insult us as consumer to invent this junk. I have a 2012 thinking the 2016 ridgeline will be better then the 2012. I'M very disappointed of Honda dealer. Please do not buy any latest ridgeline from them.
