Fascinating review, but one that ignores perhaps the biggest innovation of what the Ridgeline was all about. It was/is the pickup for folks who don't really need a pickup. It's a car based vehicle on purpose: to give it a huge advantage of on the road comfort and handling. I've read from owners THIS is why they bought it. These people could care less about that it could "only" tow 5,000lbs. or had a 1,500lb payload. For them, this was plenty. No need to get a choppy ride or excessively high seating step-in experience. Truck practicality, car comfort. It's unique and should be judged accordingly. But seriously, enjoyed the video.

[@mig50cc]

Spot on. I bought mine because of everything you mentioned. If I towed stuff regularly I'd get a full size. I've only had my 07 Ridgeline for a month and a half but so far I'm enjoying it more than the 6 other vehicles I've owned.

[@andrewsang4688]

Not a bad option for people who still want a truck but also want to occasionally get some stuff from Lowe's. But at the same time, that could be accomplished with a RAV4 or CRV, so this is only for people who really want a truck but don't actually need one at all. I expect this market soon to be taken up by the Ford Maverick

[@tcj226]

People loved (and still love) the Ridgeline. It's the knucklehead full-size truck drivers who complained loudly everywhere they could. Most of this video's criticisms of the Ridgeline are based on the uninformed views of those people. The Ridgeline was a great truck back in 2006 and the fact that so many are still running and in great shape today speaks volumes. I'm not a big fan of the second generation Ridgeline because it did away with a lot of the things that made the first generation so great and unique - mainly the incredibly thoughtful use of storage space in the interior, but the new one is also dinged because of the extremely bland styling it borrowed from the bland Pilot. It's not a bad truck by any means - I'd still buy one if it was priced more sanely over practically anything else available new today - but it doesn't hold a candle to the first generation.

[@emmanuelalva6597]

The v6 in the Ridgeline is probably the better v6 in the midsize segment. The Ford v6 wasn’t very good the Tacoma v6 was good but I think Honda’s was slightly better

Yes! I have a 2007 that I bought new in 2006. Apart from scheduled fluid changes I have done nothing to this truck in 133,000 kilometres. Yes there was the airbag issue and the heater cover but that was covered under warranty. After getting dinged $225 Canadian for the fist oil change I never went back for service and did all my services myself using Orem fluids. I have never felt that the truck was underpowered. I think the jealousy lays in the fact that they are ultra reliable. I have the front wheel drive version with the electronic rear lock to give more traction when needed which keeps fuel consumption decent.

[@SIDVENOM]

"2006 Honda Ridgeline Motor Trend Truck of the year" Honda was ahead of its time with this unique unibody style and V6 engine now these days all Trucks manufactures are catching up to this Honda unique style. Like Ford Maverick, Hyundai Santa Cruz and i'm sure Dodge, Chevy, Toyota, Nissan is going to come out with something to compete. People hate it because they are used to seeing trucks with traditional body on frame and can't use their imagination to move on with their lives when something unique comes out. It was never a Truck it was a Hybrid crossover between a SUV/Truck= SUT. The only vehicle that the Ridgeline compete with at that time was the Subaru Baja, not the Chevy Avalanche because it doesn't have a unibody frame.

[@jodywilliamson1060]

Cross shopped midsize trucks this year and bought a 2021 honda ridgeline. The back seat in the others was just too tight and I couldn't imagine anyone sitting back there for any length of time. I also looked at full size trucks, then I looked at the parkade where I work in the city, so full size trucks didn't interest me. Ultimately the Ridgeline was a bit of everything, it is comfortable, easy to park and has a bed when I need it. It also has a trunk so my groceries aren't all over the place when I get home!! I don't know how many people on my block have big offroad trucks, which have never been off pavement and have immaculate looking beds, because they never put anything in them. To me thats being a poser!

[@tiemenstaal]

The good news is that they don't have to love it the way I love mine. Everybody wins. It's a very reliable SUV with a truck bed and lots of convenient features, but if you need to tow something heavy, don't buy it. Simple enough for you?

[@packratswhatif.3990]

Yup, for me it is a “Weekend Warriors” truck and pulls all I need to tug around. Oh, then there is the quality factor from Honda which I like too.

But, I do like the room, the drive train, and the quietness this truck has. You can feel the quality in the vehicle when driving it. I see me driving this vehicle into my 70's.

[@jeffreymurillo3131]

I think the problem is people over buy for what they think they need. Personally, I'm just using my 1st gen for hauling my motorcycle around, not gonna tow anywhere near 5000lbs. Maybe go through unpaved road to get to the trails, don't need a lifted 4x4 with low range and rock crawl. NYC roads sucks so independent suspension gives it a nicer rider with plenty of room for storage.

[@jerrybromenshenk1971]

2007 Ridgeline, 140k, and I haul heavy loads and have pulled a 14’ flatbed trailer with ~ 6k out of a boggy field when a full sized Tacoma couldn’t move it. Lots.of disinformation. A 280 Hp engine perfectly capable. I have pulled trailers with 5k load, not counting the trailer itself and held 70 mph in the hills and mountains of western Mt. Had to drop a gear, but Honda engines achieve highest torque at higher rpm. Neither Gen1 or Gen2 use the Pilot chassis, rather has a boxed frame version. Gen2 just styled to look like body on frame to offset the body on frame bias of real trucks. Also, 1500 payload is a quarter ton truck, while not too many years ago, full sized Detroit pickups were termed 1/2 ton, with heavy duty at 1 ton. As per gas mileage, Gen 2 has best of mid-size, still using the same engine as Gen 1. My highway is 23-24 at 60-65, 22 at 70 to 80. I do not advocate Ridgeline for heavy towing, gas mileage at 70 with max recommended load is about 15 on Gen 1. Truck interior markedly roomier, especially in width, than any of the new mid-sized trucks. Gen 2 is basically a facelift with more gears in tranny. Bump the towing up, add a grunt gear, and it would be nearly perfect.

I bought my 06 RTL in 05 as it was being delivered to the dealer. 228K on it. Timing belt twice -first was $850, 2nd was $1200. Recently needed a new ac compressor. Used it to tow my Honda Aquatrax and tote my Honda CRF 250. I always thought the 3.5 was a little under-powered but i think its a gearing thing. I have an 06 Toyota Avalon with a 3.5 that will put you back in your seat. My theory on new product launches is that they either rush to market and cut corners on quality or they want to cement a good reputation --especially if entering a new and very competitive market segment and want to make sure its bulletproof. I think Honda went for the latter with the Ridgeline.

[@missinglink7709]

I have driven many vehicles and this is the best snow truck bar none. Even with bald all seasons i made it up a hill no one else could make it; they all turned around to get a run at it. No it aint a heavy hauler, but 90 percent of 1/2 ton trucks never use it that way anyway.

I love driving my Ridgeline waving at Chevrolet, Ford, and Dodge owners stuck on side of the road. I pulled over to help a Chevrolet truck in 2015 and his spare tire cable would not release the tire. I looked it up and it was a factory defect all Chevrolet trucks had like his. Then It iced over in Texas in 2018 and every 2 wheel drive truck was stuck spinning tires in driveways. I passed a Jeep that was driving on plowed roads, and I passed him on the center media with ice on it. I was driving faster on 4 inches ice than the Jeep was on pavement. I can also take off in my Ridgeline on ice or snow faster than a 2 wheel drive Ford Raptor in Colorado. I just wish my Ridgeline was turbo or supercharged.

I have a Ridgeline RTL 2013. Has over 120,000 miles the 3.5 engine works very smooth and when power is asked for it moves very fast. The cabin is bigger and more comfortable than others in the class, the rear cargo bed has a lower compartment that can be use as a huge cooler to keep drinks and meats for a tailgate barbecue. The cargo floor has built in grooves to transport certain types of Honda motorcycles. Mine is AWD and although it sits lower to the ground than the others it can go though mud, sand, snow with the additional VTM-4 than turns it into an off road beast.There are several videos in You Tube that shows it.

One thing that I like about the 1st gen ridgeline is that it has way better back seat room for my son’s car seat. The Tacoma and Canyon are way too cramped for my taste and the full size trucks are unpractical to park where I live and just way more truck than I actually need. I want to go camping, haul bikes and kayak but still use the truck as a comfortable daily driver. The ridgeline is perfect for that. It is also easy and cheap to work on.

[@bikebudha01]

I love the fact they got Lex Luthor to voice their commercial. - But really, I got a 2022. Have just over 10K miles on it. It's the bet mid-size truck BY FAR. (Unless you actually rock-crawl, which I don't). Better build quality. Better ride quality. Vastly better interior space.

[@joesepspindel3335]

I bought one so I could get back and forth to work in the new england weather. I could care less about towing or off road B.S. because going off road destroys any vehicle no matter what it is. I didn't want a truck and every SUV looks the same. You can tell exactly what my vehicle is because no one else looks like it. Truck guys yank off the exhaust for maximum loudness, I want the most quiet vehicle I can get. If the ridge line was loud maybe it would attract some of the truck guys, but it's not. You can't lift a ridge line and that really pisses truck guys off because everything they buy needs to be jacked to the sky with 40 inch tires. All you can hope for is a 3 inch suspension drop and coil overs and even then you have to cut metal to get 33's to 35's on. I bought an suv with a bed in it so I could toss shit in the back and not mess up my interior and I wanted something that was reliable, I owned a siverado with a 6.0 with only 70k miles on it and the thing rotted in half. Toyotas rot away around here also. I can't afford brand new or used Toyota so a used one with even a little bit of rust under it is a red flag to run the f**k away.

Damn right!!!!! I have had mine 08 for 10 years and I have said this many times

[@e2m514]

Damn, I’m actually thinking about getting one. I work in construction, so I need a truck to carry my tools, be able to drive good in gravel and unpaved roads, and not guzzle huge amounts of gas. Yes I’m looking at the Tacoma, Frontier, Maverick, Colorado and Ridgeline. Not the Santa Cruz because I don’t like the way it looks and I think it has horrible use of space. Maverick is too small even for the midsize pick ups. Colorado is a Chevy so you know it’s a piece of junk, sooner than later it will leave you stranded by the side of the road. Tacoma is really expensive, but I think it’s reliability is worth it. I don’t know much about the Frontier to be honest, oh and I forgot the Sierra, but everything GM makes is crap. Ridgeline is the weird kid of the bunch, the one that doesn’t look the part, the one that everyone picks on, but honestly, it’s the one that makes more sense for my situation. It’s got clever use of space, its got okayish mpg, it’s more than enough to carry tools. I don’t haul huge loads of lumber nor tow tractors, all I do is carry my tools in my tool boxes, yes boxes, I have a lot of tools. The Ridgeline is quite efficient as a work truck for CONSTRUCTION WORKERS. That should be their target audience, yes it will take some convincing for the die hard ford, ram and chevy fans but I think with the right advertisement campaign it can convince them.

[@erikberg8098]

I know of no one whom has ever compared it to an F-150, Silverado or Ram. It’s a midsize truck, pure & simple, and competes against the Tacoma, Colorado, Ranger, Frontier and now Gladiator. Its V6 still makes roughly the same power as competitors, and its towing numbers are competitive. It can’t haul a horse trailer like a Silverado HD, it can’t off-road like a Tacoma TRD Pro, and it’s styling was at first weird Japanese anime awkward or boring Pilot-with-a pickup bed. That’s its problem. All that gained it a reputation of “not manly enough to be a real truck”. If they could up the horsepower a little, give it proper off-road capabilities, and style it more like a traditional midsize truck it might do just fine. Realistically it’s all the pickup truck most Americans ever need. I live in a larger Midwestern city and their are plenty of F-250 Super Duty show ponies around here hauling nothing but air year round!

If 💰 grew on trees I'd have a Ridgeline and give my 97 CRV WITH 500,000 MILES ON IT A REST.✌🤠👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Not everyone!!!......that is just your opinion!

[@charleshorseman55]

The Titan was a great truck driving wise, utility on frame towing or pulling was great too. The body itself was very thin or soft sheet metal however (probably added to the driving feel vis a vis weight) and would ding or crush very easily. I wonder if the sheet metal on this ridgeline is thicker/higher strength than other non-stressed body-on-frame chassis trucks (such as the Titan).

My Honda Ridgeline is made in Alabama. Where's your GM made?

Mexico

[@johnwingate8799]

I liked it but could not afford it.Same thing w the Subaru baja.4.3 chvy towes more and better on gas.Ridgelines should be more affordable since they don't cost as much to build.Just get a used Pilot and cut half the roof off.

It’s such a crowd splitter, why people hate the video when he’s just being honest? All the info is anchored by actual research, haven’t found an incorrect piece of it, stop hating guys

Winnie you still need power to do something at all

[@winniesunny]

Tahoe SuperSports I agree but how he came out with his statement is why I replied. Bigger is not always better but there is still benefits with having a bigger engine.

.....and this is why OEM's offer different vehicles with different features.....get what suits you. Me personally, I think all Nissans are the ugliest vehicles to ever be produced. So, I just won't buy one - simple.

[@Giratina1999]

They never fucking update em

[@stevenray3029]

I love mine. Most dependable truck on the market. I have had no issues. Couple recalls taken care of. No mechanical problems. It’s 18 years old garage kept and looks brand new. I’ll match it against any ford or Chevrolet at that age. I do take care of my investments I must say. Very proud of my truck. I don’t care what anyone says. My other car is a 2017 ZO6. So I think I drive in style everywhere I go.

[@brianmcg321]

They don’t

[@alexwen2786]

Why is this 3 week old video discussing a discontinued Honda body style? If, they compared a 2017-2020 Honda Ridgeline - this would NOT be a video worth any chatter

[@BukitMan]

Why not the new ones are even uglier
