I’m an original owner of a 2006 Honda Ridgeline. It’s a great truck and still going strong. Just oil change and regular maintenance.

[@JesusSanchez-ee7re]

KraZy PaPi how many miles?

[@anthonygreco12]

I have a 2008 bought new 270K on it

[@soccerboy9502]

I also own a 06 Honda Ridgeline RTL has around 140,000 miles still runs good only thing had to be replace was steering pump. Just oil change and regular maintenance and she’s stills runs like a champ

[@chadwrightson3453]

Has anyone changed the timing belt yet?

[@anthonygreco12]

@@chadwrightson3453 I did at 90K and 180K and will be doing again at the next oil change (At 275K now)

[@rugerden4535]

All my cars since 1987 have been all Honda. When I needed to tow 9k Lbs of Travel Trailer RV, I turned to a 2006 Ford F-250 Diesel. Something no small pickup could do , i.e. different application needs. That 6.0L Diesel engine from Ford was a maintenance nightmare (well documented) and left us stranded on the side of the road while towing on vacation. We since sold the RV and these days my needs are well met by our most recent 2012 Honda Ridgeline Sport which is an absolute pleasure to drive.

[@thatamericansailor6078]

I love the ridgeline, does just what I need it to do and nothing more. Perfect! P.S. I prefer this generation styling over the new 2019 anyday and it's cheaper for a High School student like me just under $10,000 sometimes $5,000 if lucky and patient enough to wait.

[@davidpedder9048]

5 K with 200 000 miles !!!!!!!

[@dougfielding8215]

I like the looks of the first generation also. It will continue to run strong for a long time.

[@djxxxplicit]

Yup love my 2014 Ridgeline Sport look. I feel the new version looks too much like the new CRV or Accord.

[@drewbiggiesmalls8041]

You are correct my friend. Got my 2007 rtl 3 weeks ago with 204k miles for an even $5k. Runs like a champ, interior is good condition, and all the creature comforts work great! Be patient

[@okwaleedpoetry]

I just bought a 06 RL with 230K Miles for 6k, it's crazy to see these prices now 4:28

[@AMPATL]

Honda is not trying to pick a fight with the established players, or they would have given it a larger bed and a V8. They're going after the guys that don't need a larger bed and a V8.

[@MJ98.]

Same here. Love it.

[@russianqbot8587]

Me too.. Picking it up in a week, After it gets certified :) 386000kms.

[@AMPATL]

We also were left stranded (more than once) by Fords, Dodges and a variety of truly awful GM products. Our extended family (all raised near Detroit) bought domestic cars until we'd all had enough. Now we're all Honda and Toyota. If I needed a pickup the 2012 Ridgeline would be first on the list.

[@thukey446]

I love this truck looks strong 💪 4+4

[@reycuerdos]

"...still produced alot of body roll...". I did not expected him to say that because that thing corners so flat for a vehicle that high off the ground.

[@ebutuoycensorship8012]

Yeah that's shit I have 2 inch spacers on mine and not many other cars corner like me hahaha they gave it a bad review and they are a bit quicker to 60 in my opinion.

[@mackcummy4976]

They expected a pickup truck to not have much body roll and a short stopping distance?

[@coytus94]

It's crazy how many people expect a large ass pickup truck to have the same specs and performance as a car xD They want something large that can tow 10,000 lbs with 4WD, but they want it to do 0-60 in less than 5 seconds, be able to drift around tight corners, and stop on a dime. It's almost like they think physics don't apply or something.

[@mackcummy4976]

@@coytus94 Pick ups and big vehicles try to race me in my RSX and when a curve comes around they slow down really fast before the curb.

[@arthursmith643]

My neighbor has over 750,000 on his 07 Ridgeline.

[@DannyWohl]

wow! I am looking at one with 167k miles for $1,900 . . .

Sweet truck

the Ridgeline is a Truck....its a Light Duty Truck.

The Ridgeline is a "little cooler" than most trucks 🧊

[@Nigriff]

Honda's version of an El Camino. Business in the front, party (with a cooler) in the back.

[@jamesstuart3346]

No sane person dumps boulders into a pickup bed

[@MsFatpigs]

Love the truck but, cant see why Honda cant increase the mpg. Even the 2012 gets the same mpg.

[@chadwrightson3453]

Full time AWD could be a factor.

[@thukey446]

WOW that’s really really great truck really truck Honda Ridgeline

[@arthursmith643]

Thu Key Honda Ridgeline is junk. Everything goes after 50,000 miles. My friend had one . The money he had to spend on repairs came to the thousands of dollars. You have to rebuild everything after 50,000 just like any other car. Belts hoses tires brakes shocks struts exhaust timing belt etc etc. Lease is the way. Get a new car every three years.

[@arthursmith643]

Thu Key the manual says all tires have to be the same size. Then they give you a donut tire as a spear. Another $50.00 there cost and they could of given a full size tire.

[@arthursmith643]

Thu Key its great up to 50,000 miles then you start to rebuild it because it starts to fall apart. Count the parts you had to replace when you get to 100,000 miles.

[@picklemancan]

150k miles on mine and nothing more than scheduled maintenance.

[@krazypapi2618]

2006 Honda Ridgeline RTL 140,000 plus miles and still going strong. Just do regular on scheduled oil change and maintenance. It’s a great truck. If you use a truck daily for work and for fun then this is a good truck. If you pull 5k pounds daily then you may want a bigger truck. Again, this is a mix use truck. Reasonable truck. People may say it doesn’t have enough power, but then again they’re the same people who does not use what they have effectively and efficiently. Their truck may have V-8 but they only use it to carry 20# manure. Heck my 40cc Vespa can load that plus more! 💪🏽😊

[@joshgutierrez7380]

Your numbers must be wrong cuz mine gets to 60 in around 8

its a cool truk i wud get it cuz if i got a truk i wud mostly not use the bed as much as a "REAL TRUCK" owner wud...and the towing i wud never tow with it so its ok...i wud have to to haul friends and some ever shit in the bed its cool go honda

[@lili2sexc]

Body on frame is old news

[@coytus94]

I agree with ya, but try telling that to all the stubborn ass folks that keep calling these things "minivans with a bed" lol

[@lili2sexc]

It’s a nice vehicle that is class leading amongst the mid size trucks. It’s not as rough but no one needs a rough work truck all the time. And hardly anyone uses trucks for what they are designed for.

[@whattheheck1000]

Yeah. The Ridgeline is a "cruck" not a truck. And I love Honda, I drive a 2008 Accord. But Honda shouldn't be messing around with trucks. Not until they get a body-on-frame design and a V8 at least optional. July 8, 2012 2:01 am

[@davidpedder9048]

Go look on Kijiji, Not to many Ridgelines avalible, because people keep them., Now look for a Ford F150 or a Chevy 1500, see how many come up

[@drewbiggiesmalls8041]

I hope in these last 6 years you have had an opportunity to drive one of these first gen ridgelines. I think you would feel differently. They are great little trucks

Didn’t you notice the frame on the video ?

Bought a 2008 RTL 2 years ago from original owner with 224,000. Miles on it. No creaks , clanks or burning oil smell. Had honda dealer slap on tow package and now pulls my travel trailer. Great buy at $6500.
