Any ridgeline owners here? Trying to get some feedback on this truck. Let me know what you think of it. I've heard really mixed things. I've been looking into getting one

 

Depends how you use the truck. For occasional hauling stuff around and mild off roading it does good. It doesn't do good for frequent hauling or heavy off roading. It's very comfortable to ride in front and rear.
It's a great DD people mover that can haul some stuff around in the bed every once in a while.

 

the ride quality of the truck is amazing. rides like a car, and also has the power/torque to haul small things but wont be a great truck to haul around heavy items, towing alot of weight, and like a true work truck. great for a DD. works for a shop truck carrying around wheels, bodykits, etc. stuff like that. the bed trunk is a neat thing honda did, nice for tools, shoes, and stuff like that. i would recommend this truck for a DD.

sorry for the illiteracy, kind of late/early in the morning and dead tired right now.

 

thanks I appreciate the feedback. I'd just be using it to tow a Jetski and I'm wondering if you guys believe small dirtbikes may fit in the back of this truck? (80cc) Is it sluggish? What kind of MPGs do you guys get on average (city and highway numbers)? thx!

 

towing a jet ski is fine for this truck, i have seen some guys fit 2 dirt bikes in the bed along with the bed extender. i get roughly 18 miles per gallon. it will make it to dallas from houston which is roughly a 200 mile drive on 3/4 of the tank driving at 70 mph. i haven't personally towed anything with the truck my self so i cant vouch anything on that.

a forum on the truck itself i frequent is ridgelineownersclub.com check that site out for any further questions.

 

this is nice truck for daily driving and just if u want that extra space. it really isnt an off road or heavy load kind of truck. over all its a great vehicle with an awesome price and of course that honda reliabilty.

 

LOOOOOOOOOOVE my truck, buy it!

 

Test drive one, you won't be disappointed. The looks tend to be love it or hate it, but really grow on you. You'll find yourself using the trunk and swing-out tailgate all the time. The only large adjustment for me is that the bed is composite, and can get scratched/gouged. I tend to be more careful placing things in the bed than I would with other trucks. Not because It can't take a beating, but just because I don't want to scratch it up.

 

My Ridgeline is great, we pull a dual axle trailer from baltimore to nortern north carolina a few times this year with 10 or so 50-80 gal hot water heaters on it and she does great. The fuel milage goes way down but other than that its like driving a car . It does great in the snow to . back up lights are kinda weak but other than that I love . I work at honda as a tech and we never have problems as long as you service the driveline when towing. Pulls the race car to the track nicely to but how much does an eg hatch way lol

 

I agree with you there. mine tows very nicely but the mileage I experienced was not too bad. I towed our autocross CR-X down to Gainesville Fla and averaged 19mpg. the car only wieghs 1600lbs and it was on a dolly but I still got great gas mileage. I usually see 24-25mpg on the highway. rides like a car, does most of the things regular trucks do and has Honda reliability. what more could you ask for???
