Great review and very accurate. As a 2017 Ridgeline RTL-E and 2010 first gen Ridgeline owner, I can vouch for the everyday usability...I owned two RAM 1500s in between and I liked both but nothing compares to the Swiss Army knife nature of the Ridgeline. Handles everything well and as you noted, a great daily driver. Probably one of the best all around vehicles ever produced.

Interesting . . . nearly the same here . . . had 2 Ridgeline then moved to a RAM 1500 (now) . . . I'm considering moving back into a Ridgeline but I really fear that I will miss the interior cabin space of the RAM . . . you?

Agree 100%. I have a 2019 RTL-E. I've had a bunch or cars and trucks in my 59 years and this vehicle is so useful and so well thought out its unbelievable. It drives like an Acura MDX with SH-AWD, rides like one too and has a usable 5'4" bed and can tow a medium sized boat or camper. They could improve the info-tainmnent system and maybe beef up the wheels and tires a bit but other than that I wouldn't change a thing. Very under rated and under appreciated

I think if more people knew about this truck, the sales would increase massively. Truck demographics are very working man oriented but the Ridgeline opens the truck market up to women, senior citizens, first time truck buyers, and anyone who wants the utility of a truck without the excessive ruggedness. Comfort and handling is king with the Ridgeline. I have seen a lot of truck guys mockingly saying it is a Pilot with a truck bed but to me, that is the biggest selling point.

Enjoyed your great review. Picking up my new RTL-T FWD in a couple of weeks. Trading in my 2009 Sierra SLE, which I have no complaints about. I'm a 100% disable Vietnam Veteran Marine. I have bad back and sciatic leg pain. The Ridgeline is the most comfortable vehicle I've ever driven. Very comparable to my wife's Acura. The only off roading I do is chasing grouse and pheasant on logging and field roads. I tow my 2300# walleye boat in the relatively flat terrain of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ontario. I upgrade to the heavy duty trans cooler just for longer tows into weather. This truck will meet my needs for the rest of my days. (71 now) Everybody get whatever truck suits your needs and enjoy yourselves.

I own a 17 but the added cost of the E or BE was just too much for my budget. I agree the Midi or multi information system is prone to fingerprints and glare so much so I have a plastic sheet designed to improve this. Also the implementation of the interface is bad. If you compare my Ridgeline to my Jeep Grand Cherokee with their interface it is like day and night. Honda needs to improve this more than anything else. It is much quieter than any vehicle I have owned to include my 14 JGC and 17 Subaru Outback which is very quiet. Nice review of this vehicle by the way...

great job on your review, but with tailgate down, why do you need cameras? I still have my 2009 ridgeline and no camera, and I am good. maybe improve your driving skills. By the way I drive dump trucks, tractor trailers, 5 ton trucks and no camera.
@shouldigetit
7 жыл бұрын
Thank you very much! I actually don't have cameras on either of my cars and don't use them when I drive cars that do have them as I'm so used to using mirrors and actually looking back. The reason I pointed out the camera is because if it's already there it may as well be useful and when the tailgate drops the usability does as well. You are definitely good and those rigs have been driven for decades with no cameras.

I don't want to sound like "Captain Obvious" over here, BUUUT... every truck that has a backup camera has them in the same spots... by the tailgate handle, thus rendering the camera "useless" when the gate is down on ALL of them. it's not just a RL "problem." If anything, it's a made up "problem" ... like saying you can't see anything behind you in your side mirrors when the doors are open. LOL

Totally hear you on that one and well aware of it. I'm just saying since Honda has a lot of "firsts" with this truck, they could be the first to create a two-camera system for when the tailgate is down. Definitely a good problem to have as I had a hard time finding more serious problems with it :)
@ejfig2326

Actually, a lot of the firsts are "seconds" as most of the features are carryovers from the 1st Gen RL. As for making a 2 cam system, you would think it would've been done by any of the Big 3 if it was truly a consumer concern/complaint. Just my .02 worth. ;-)

Still trying to figure out why you need a back up camera to haul bikes? Why not back up with the tailgate up, then drop the tailgate. Or if it is down, you can't see the bikes? Its not like when you need to align the ball with a hitch.

duh, yes. I know the tailgate needs to be down to haul bikes. Still explain why you need a back up camera to load them? The bikes are mobile either you take the bikes to the truck or you back the truck to the bikes and then drop the tailgate. It was a complaint that didn't make sense IMO.
