Will It Last 400K Miles? // 2024 Honda Ridgeline Trailsport

[@1htalp9]

My Ridgeline RTS has 225k miles on it. I bought it in March 2005, when they first became available. I swore then that I would drive it until the wheels came off. I still have quite a way to go before that happens. It has been the most trouble-free vehicle I have ever owned.

[@repairvehicle]

You would not get same mileage with direct injection Honda ridgeline. Carbon build up will destroy this engine before you know it and fuel dilution

[@tyhyhh]

Maybe just maintain it ​@@repairvehicle

Mine has similar miles on it but has rusted in some critical areas so i had to have it repaired by welding in More material or risk body ripping apart. Of you get one folks make sure you take it to a rust proofer for a complete saturation inside and out. Im in the salt belt but i wash my vehicle every week during the winter. Trouble free otherwise.

[@MrRideslowrx]

My 2006 Ridgeline was the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I put 285k miles on it and I'm sure it would have easily gone another 200k. my time owning the vehicle, other than timing belts, tires, brakes, and oil changes I had no others repairs needed. Zero. Unreal 😮 All you need to do is look for a used one and you'll be amazed at how many of them are for sale with over 200k miles When I no longer need a minivan for my kids I'll be going back to a Ridgeline for sure. It might not be seen at a "real truck" but I can guarantee you that most other real trucks can't even touch the reliability of a Ridgeline.

[@stevemcdaniel7990]

Same here. Owned a first-year 06 model for about 5 years from 175,000 up to about 225,000 miles. Only non-wear maintenance/repair I did was a new power steering pump! The thing ran basically like new throughout my ownership.

Last week my '14 Accord turned 222,222 miles. Only unscheduled repairs was a sun visor. Uses a quart of oil about every 5 to 10 thousand miles, I should ad it has the rare 6 speed manual! :). Also it has the 2.4 litre.

[@panamafloyd1469]

I bought my '02 RSX Type-S with 150K on it, and put another 150K on it. Oil consumption was a bit high at 300K (1qt/1000mi), but I'd still be driving it if someone on their cellphone hadn't center-punched my passenger side in an intersection. First car I ever owned with VTEC. I'm a road racing fan and when it 'kicked in', I thought, "Holy crap. They made this for Senna!!" It was actually kind of 'spiritual'! 😆 Love the sound of that V6 in the RIdgeline. If I wasn't retired, I'd be shopping TLXs.

Hi Sarah. I am so happy that you are still reviewing The Honda Ridgeline. I loved the one where you were amazed by it making it up the hill. I have owned three Ridgelines and I just recently purchased a 2024 Black Edition Honda Ridgeline. Also I still love my 2012 Honda Ridgeline and it now has 308,000 miles on it and I have zero doubts about it making it to 400,000. Heck I am thinking it will go a million miles. It's in great shape and it burns zero oil. Anyway there's no doubt Honda Ridgeline is one awesome Truck

[@bionicwolf3342]

The Ridgeline starts in second gear unless you switch to sequential/sport mode. The delay may be going down to first gear when you mash the throttle on takeoff in normal mode. I own a 2024 TrailSport in gray.

Another fun fact is that The Honda Ridgeline is the most American of all gas trucks. More parts, manufacturing, and assembly for the Ridgeline happens in the US than any other gas truck from any manufacturer. So if you want an American truck, buy this Honda.

[@Skyrocketpenguin]

I watch a lot of car KZbin channels, but Sarah is one of the only experts. I would be much more interested in her review of older cars. For instance, I'm shopping for an RD1 CR-V. It has a great reputation, and I'm sure Sarah could explain why.

I’ve got a ‘22. Pretty spot on review. I’m almost ashamed to admit it’s the fastest car I’ve ever owned. The terrain modes are pretty great for varying weather conditions. It’s not just traction control, it controls throttle response as well. Those tires look like a big upgrade over the lower model OEM Firestones. Maybe I’ll spring for Coopers at the end of the summer. My only real gripe is the time the shift-by-wire, it takes forever to shift from reverse to drive. It seems silly the Trailsport doesn’t come with the bed power inverter.

I own a 21 sport model & after seeing this I don't feel I missed out on the trailsport. It has some nicer features, but anyone can swap out a set of tires.

[@MeltingRubberZ28]

RTL is the answer

[@grantdeisig1360]

I just bought one of these and I really like it. There are a few things I don't like, for example: It rev limits you in reverse. The auto dimming on the rear view mirror could be darker. The transmission can be a bit clunky and undecisive when it's cold. The windshield washer fluid resevoir is small and doesn't tell you when it's almost empty. You have to turn off the auto start/stop every time you start the vehicle. The auto on/off high beams are a joke, but you can disable them. No front camera sucks. Ground clearance could be better, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things. But I still find all that manageable because everything else about the truck just works. The 3.5L vtec is spunky and a pleasure to drive. You never feel it change it's cylinder mode, it's very smooth. The ride quality is superb, and the rear trunk is surprisingly useful. I find the handling to be very sporty compared to other trucks I've owned or driven. Also, just a tip that I learned from another commentor on here. The truck seems to always start out in 2nd gear. So if you want to do some slow trail crawling, put it in sequential mode (S) and tap the downshift paddle and 1st gear is much much better for crawling. You'll see these trucks get about an 80 out of 100 rating on most sites. I would say that's right on par for this truck. A solid B+ vehicle that will probably treat you well if you take care of it.

[@abefroman7393]

Excellent review, as usual. Not a fan of the push button shifter and completely agree that the truck should have been lifted another 2-3 inches. So glad Honda stuck with the naturally aspirated six.

It was never ment to be a rock climber tho. 90 percent of silverado owners go to the beach or take a few trails or even haul a boat, dirt bikes, and fishing gear. This truck can do all of that while costing less. I couldnt justify a silverado unless I was hauling a horse trailer so I got a 2024 trailsport and I love it.
