I bought a 2017 Ridgeline out five months ago and absolutely love it! Drives like a car and I get 19-21 around town and 25-27 on the highway. I might have to put a lift kit on it now, but I love the gas mileage and don't want to screw that up!

Car with a bed, mini-van with a bed, SUV with a bed... what ever it is... You truck guys love to pound that into every comment I see... "it's not a truck, it's not a truck, it's not a truck!" It's not that you're wrong OR right... but it almost sounds like a spoiled child at a toys'r'us trying to get their parents attention about what Christmas gift they want... So lets side with the truck guys... this thing is NOT truck... lets say... Minivan with a bed... well with that said... this minivan with a bed tows 5000 lbs. which means it's capable of towing your fishing boat, jet skies, atv's, side by sides, snow mobiles, motorcycles and small trailers pretty much anywhere you normally take them. This minivan with a bed is also capable of light duty off road which means hidden fishing spots, camping hideaways, logging trails, snow covered roads/highways and sand dunes are all possible venues of operation for this umm... Minivan with a bed... Also a notable mention is that the bed of this Minivan is capable of hauling what ever it is at Home Depot you manage to pick up. Combine all of these "truck like" things with a smooth "car like" ride and what you get is a minivan with a bed... and that's not to shabby at all... in fact for 90% of the world... it's almost perfect.

Honda knew going in that Honda people don't want trucks and truck people don't want Hondas. They also recognized that there was some overlap in between those generalizations. They made low production numbers of these vehicles to fill that need. It was never trying to be a truck. Just truck-like enough. And it achieved that goal.

Great car for the DIY type who just wants to haul/tow stuff every now and then. Other than that, a taco or colorado will fair better if you go off road or frequently haul or tow. I don't trust the unibody structure for heavy use. Would probably run into alignment issues after a few years of abuse.

I guess the better question is, how was the back seat? Haven't heard anything good about it yet... Also looks like you are using non stock tires... You should mention that, it makes a huge difference. A minivan can do what the ridgeline does with those tires. If you have no plans to go off road or use the back seat, this is a fantastic truck... over priced, but that is Honda.

For those of you that watch this video and think wow how amazing... this test of the Ridgelines abilities are not fully and fairly stressed. Why??? First I am prior service Arm y and I have drivien many trucks and four wheel drive vehicles in DEEP Thick Mud, Snow, Ice and Sand Dunes. Most of this course has been driven and as such the dirt, sand and mud has been compacted to a point that getting the all wheel drive system WHICH is Not the same as a conventional four wheel drive system fairly and equally tested at the Ridgelines limits. I would like the viewers to really see the New Ridgeline tested in serious mud, and Sand with the same off road tires, this will let everyone see just how capable and reliable this truck can really be in such conditions. STOP showing what the truck can do on compacted fixed courses and test it in real world scenarios off road, in the wilderness. I am going to come right out and say it this video is pure bullshit and not at all honest about the the Ridgeline can or cannot do with an average or even skilled off road driver.

Calling that an extreme off-road course is like setting up slalom cones in your driveway and calling it autocross. You're doing a disservice to those that have never actually been on a real off-road trail. That being said, I really want to see what a Ridgeline will do with about 10 or 11 inches of ground clearance. I heard the Honda rep say it has 10 inches, but that can't be true. You can just look at it and see it's more like 8 inches. Truth be told, most truck guys want something that looks like it can go off-road even though they have no intention of ever actually taking it anywhere other than the mall or PTA meetings. This Ridgeline is what most truck guys really need, but will never admit it.

hate to break the news to you but sales are pretty terrible on this truck due to it not being a "truck" but sporting a $45,000 price tag like one. For that you can get a fully loaded tundra, a Silverado high country, a ford raptor or F150 FX4, or a really nice ram. I live in a rural area and I've only ever seen 2 since this new design came out a few years ago. Honda quality is going down hill fast and this truck is no exception. It's drowning with recalls and ECM updates. Bottom line if you want to small truck that's meant for dirt roads and cruising to the grocery store then get a Tacoma/Colorado/crown Victoria. If you want a truck that can haul trailers long term and not have oil consumption problems then get pretty much any other truck. You'll spend a lot less money buying something that will end up being a lot better then the ridgeline.

@BingBingBingBingham

Well i think the idea behind it is with traditional 4x4 there are things you should know before using it, and there is a vastly different driving dynamic when it is initiated. there is alot to know, ie dont initiate on pavement, hi vs low, crawl control etc. I remember back when i had my taco, i used to stop on my way to he ski lodge and do donuts in the parking lot. My girlfriend wanted to try but she really struggled managing the 4x4 cause her natural instinct whenever the tail would swing would be to slam the breaks. She did eventually start to get the idea but there is a learning curve to understanding how to drive in adverse conditions. I now have a ridgeline, and while before she would refuse to drive to the cabin in winter, she has no problem in the ridgeline as it really just does everything for you. That being said its not as fun as my taco when going off the beaten path, but I actually find it more useful for work (better payload, and 4' wide bed for ply, and drywall) and its infinitely more comfortable.
