I live in the DFW area and see all day these dudes with these super 4x4 trucks with thousand dollar tires driving up and down 75 like fools. They probably work 60 hours a week and have a $1,350 a month car payment, put $125 a week in gas, and insurance is a house payment just to look like a tough guy. 90% of Americans do not need a pick up truck, but yet everyday someone will finance for 7 years a truck they don't need instead of saving and investing. America is in for a big change here shortly, and most people don't see the storm coming in their $65,000 daily driver going to work at a $60,000 a year job.

I have to agree with the Tundra negatives, I have never been impressed by one.

[@TheKingkingg]

I love our Ridgeline trucks and only a fool would say it's not great for 95% of daily trucks or vehicles use.

[@DosCylindros]

I think lost people really over estimate how much of a truck they need. The ridgeline will handle most of what a normal person needs from a truck.

My Dad drive a 2023 Ford f-150 xlt fx4 because he tow behind 2024 RV and a 2024 Pontoon boat! 😊

[@roywalls5595]

Mostly I do not own a Truck I purchased a brand new 2013 Jeep Compass Sports because of Lifetime Maximum care warranty Only problem is cabin road noise!😅😅

[@mikesawyer1336]

You need to update your ratings. The Nissan frontier has had zero recalls this year zero and it only had one recall last year for a tire bead issue. Honestly, the parking Paul transmission issue from 2 years ago was resolved in 22 and has not resurfaced. Therefore, I believe you will find Nissan at the top of the reliability list for 2025 and 24 should be a transition towards that.

[@jeanclaude7018]

Frontier is LESS reliable than a Jeep? What rock are you living under? I hear almost nothing negative about them, and their platform is based on past Frontiers which are very proven.

[@billw8476]

@@jeanclaude7018 nissan frontier leads the mid sized truck segment for 2024 for both reliability and durability,now that toyota ruined the tacoma.

[@jeanclaude7018]

@@billw8476 Toyota had an inflated reputation even before then. See the Million Mile Frontier on TFL truck channel. Toyota, though very good, can't be better than that. That was 2007 model. And Nissans never hunted gears or rotted frames out either. Even my nice sr5 4x4 blew a head gasket AND rear diff while in warranty, and another diff at 130,000, while my Hardbody never did that.

[@edhcb9359]

The Ridegline is definitely not a truck to avoid. It would have to actually be a truck first! 😂 It “feels like a well mannered SUV” because that’s what it is. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@kb9oak749]

It's a Honda Accord on crack. Get a real truck.

[@deantrainr]

Probably the top truck to avoid are trucks that are a first year redesign platform which would obviously be the 2024 Toyota Tacoma.😳👎

[@danielbonner8309]

The Tundras on its third year. Would you buy one of those. 👎

[@jeffmoody2831]

Ram vs (versus) the field, it is the best ride I've tried.

[@williambellew767]

I thought the 2025 Ram trucks either comes with a v6 or straight 6. V8 is gone.

[@stevepatch1809]

You are correct the hemi is gone just a turbo straight 6 now

[@danielbonner8309]

This is for 2024

[@esmoglo]

Consumer reports is full of BS. I hate to say.

[@maxterrier]

From my experience with Consumer Reports ratings and opinions the products I have purchased (including vehicles) have been great.

[@johnstapler5956]

I love my 21 Ridgeline RTLE. Smooth and quiet. 2nd one, had an 06 too. RAM 1500 Hemi between the Ridgelines.

[@Chubbydippin]

Bizarre, something politicians apparently don't have to have to get elected yet is a metric vehicles are rated on..."Character."

[@domjr1392]

You forgot to mention that the Hondas underbody skid plates are made of plastic

[@stevepatch1809]

Nope, I have a Trailsport and the skid plate is metal

[@danielhoffman6131]

The Ridgeline skidplate is definitely heavy metal!!!!! We have 2024 Ridgeline.

[@domjr1392]

You’ve been lied to my friend

[@storemannc]

Wow how about a Honda Ridgeline with a standard cab and 8 foot bed. 5 foot bed is a joke .

[@HelloMoto1991]

8’ bed, on a small pick up? I agree about the 5’ thing but anything longer than 6’ on a small or midsize truck is just ridiculous. If you want 8’, why would you consider anything other than a full size anyhow? They aren’t very common in those either unless you are getting a commercial truck.

[@storemannc]

@@HelloMoto1991 16 foot lumber, sheet of plywood with tail gate up 8 foot of room goes a long way when moving stuff

[@HelloMoto1991]

@@storemannc 5’ bed is the standard size bed for all mid-size except where you. A choose 6’ from Nissan or Toyota. If you want 8’ you have to go full size and the smaller beds are even the more common one for those as well.

[@davidzavala337]

Short bed looks better. Not allow is want to carry plywood

[@storemannc]

@@davidzavala337 It’s supposed to be a truck and a people hauler not a 4 door car with a baby carriage bed

[@hawkot1]

Real review. Thanks. Ridgeline is best all around truck. Some say it’s not a manly truck, then buy Tacos and Thundras. Hope your engine or transmission lasts!

[@austinatomTV]

It’s a decent truck for somebody who doesn’t need a truck. It can’t go off road where I hunt. So I wouldn’t buy one. Ridgeline is more like the Maverick and Santa Cruz. AWD is nowhere near the capabilities and robustness of 4wd. But honestly the ridgeline isn’t manly. It’s not meant to be n that’s ok. UNLESS they redesign it soon lol.

[@HelloMoto1991]

The whole Ridgeline handling like a well mannered SUV is because it basically is an SUV with the back area removed. The Ridgeline and pilot are built off the same chasis. For that matter, it is a unibody, not even a full frame like a real truck.

[@travisstrickland7270]

What's your point. You do realize Manufacturers use same chasis for several vehicles nowadays right 😅 including Chevy Ram and Ford. Truth is the RIDGELINE pickup out performs many Midsized pickups In Alot of areas.

[@HelloMoto1991]

@@travisstrickland7270 outperforms maybe on gas mileage and handling like a car. As for real truck ruggedness it is no better than the Pilot. It’s tow capability is on the low end of the others matching the Pilot at max of 5000lbs where the others are no less than 65-6600lbs and go up to 7700lbs. The overall off-road capability isn’t the same either. Unibody’s are not meant for real rough off roading as the frames offer more rigidity. Again, if you are not needing those things, then the Ridgeline is for you.

[@travisstrickland7270]

@HelloMoto1991 Yea TRUE. RL not best in all areas of course. I still can tow 5000 faster and more comfortably than most. Go look at real world testing from TFL you'll be surprised. All I'm towing is fishing 🎣 Boat around 2500-3000 lbs. Maybe a camper one day. Natural 6 cylinder that's faster and more efficient in real world testing than some 4 cylinder turbos like Taco. Faster than Frontier yet more efficient. Good off road but not the best just because of ground clearance. I'm not Rock climbing so 🤷🏽. I think RL a good Option for most...

[@HelloMoto1991]

@@travisstrickland7270 yes and that is the difference I was trying to be long winded about. In those cases it is an apples and oranges type comparison was my point. Nothing against the Ridgeline in general though. The other thing was how they say people complain about wind noise on the Jeep. Real Jeep people I guarantee won’t complain about that given that the tops are removable. Anyhow. Points made from both of us. Good day to you.

[@AppalachianRancher]

Don't buy any vehicle with a timing belt if you plan on keeping it for any length of time

[@JamMan6string]

The Black Edition in Modern Steel Metallic would be a knockout.

[@mikegrantham7440]

The Ridgeline is not a real truck. It's an SUV with a bed on it and it's plain jane and mundane looking like all Hondas. The dash looks cheesy and cheap.
