  2006 RL review in 2010 (SE Texas) - 2006 Honda Ridgeline
  By new tx RL owner - July 25 - 10:40 pm

  Since 1993, owned trucks from all the big 3. Took chance and got this one with 72K miles. 1 month later and very pleased. 20mpg on a 250 mile trip to S TX coast this wk, 17+ overall so far. Great AWD system. Passed up a Chevy T-blazer stuck in sand this morning up to axle. (yes I helped him out, thank you tow rope) Held my breath driving through 50 yards or so of soft lose sand to get to it but it went through like butter where 2wds parked and hiked to beach. Great in mud at family ranch too. Will take this hunting. My weekend veh. Plan to keep it 10 yrs Funny, some people on truck sites get sensitive if you call this a truck so so just call it a Swiss-Army Knife Utility Vehicle

  No Rattle and Roll - 2006 Honda Ridgeline
  By Bill - June 11 - 3:30 pm

  I have driven my Ridgeline commuting to work in all kinds of New England weather. It is very stable in snow, ice and slush. It has excellent acceleration for a truck, especially in tight spots. Its great for a homeowner because of all the space in the rear passenger compartment and the trucks bed. The dealer installed trailer hitch and towing package have worked great on some heavy loads (2 tons). My only complaints are the brakes sometimes "grab" in wet weather when first applied and the seat is not quite as comfortable as my last Volvo wagon. The truck has yet to exhibit any rattles or squeaks in 4 years of ownership. Its versatile and well built.

  Best Truck Ever - 2006 Honda Ridgeline
  By Idaho Nate - June 4 - 1:41 pm

  I love my 06 Ridgeline. I have owned Ford, GMC, and Chevy Trucks and the Ridgeline is by far my best truck to date. Pros: AWD makes driving in snow/ice and off road a pleasure In bed trunk is a must I keep motorcycle riding gear, golf clubs, camping gear etc.. and love it. Reliability: Most reliable truck owned to date, I complete scheduled maintenance and have had 0 issues with the truck. Fun To Drive: The AWD handles like a car and has plenty of power to tow around my 18 ft fishing boat and small camper. Cons: Bed Length: I haul two dirt bikes but with the tail gate down Ground Clearance: Like she said, a few more inches would be nice. GREAT TRUCK

  Could not be happier - 2006 Honda Ridgeline
  By John B - March 29 - 8:33 am

  Love it! Thats just for starters. I honestly report that, on interstate highways, I will get over 24 mpg and sometimes as high as 27. I have the moon roof, luggage rack (not necessary), towing package from Honda. I added a thick rubber flooring to the bed, stainless steel Nerf bars, and a folding tonneau cover from after market sources. The rear passengers say it is very comfortable and quiet. The dual action tailgate is a stroke of genius.

  One of the Best Vehicles I have owned - 2006 Honda Ridgeline
  By Ron B - March 25 - 7:02 pm

  I have owned several pickup trucks over the years. They all drove and rode like a truck. I almost purchased the Honda Pilot after driving it and then I knew I would regret not getting a truck so I drove the Ridgeline. That was a mistake. It was part SUV and part Truck. I could not believe the manner in which it drove. The truck handled very, very well. I pull a small Casita Travel Trailer and it pulls it without any problems. We love this truck and would not trade it for anything else available anywhere. It is just the right size for what we use it for. It doubles as a very nice SUV and a very nice Truck. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a great vehicle. Its a Honda!

  06 Ridgeline - 2006 Honda Ridgeline
  By RStipe - December 10 - 6:10 am

  Have owned this truck for 6 weeks and have 6500 miles on it; most from a 3500 mile trip from Chicago to Oklahoma, to New Mexico, to South Dakota, and home. My wife noted how enjoyable the trip was and attributed it to the ease of driving the truck (shes not a truck person). It performed flawlessly. Overall MPG averaged 18.5 with a high of 21 and low of 15.7. Through the Ozarks at 75 MPH, in mountains between 6500 - 9500 feet the engine never missed a beat; caught her driving over 80 a few times. Plenty of room for 4 - both sons say it has more room than our 4Runner. My 16 y/o loves to be seen driving it. All around a solid vehicle - a good replacement for my SUV.

  great for me - 2006 Honda Ridgeline
  By Pete - December 4 - 6:16 pm

  So far so great. This truck is everything I hoped it would be. I got it after having driven a Jaguar for a number of years. I wanted something comfortable, practical, fun, good looking and capable of handling my move to the mountains. I needed a truck that I could enjoy as both a vehicle for regular use and that could handle weekend warrior stuff. I ride a motorcycle so I wanted something that could tow my bike when needed.The Ridgeline had it all. I have had the truck for just a week so there is a lot to learn. I love it so far

  Great Mid Size Truck - 2006 Honda Ridgeline
  By Oregonbound - November 24 - 3:06 pm

  This truck seems far larger than it actually is, and is a joy to drive. I have found the gas mileage to be what was expected (too bad) but the quality and drivability of the truck, especially in traffic, is much better than anticipated. A telescopic steering wheel is all that is lacking in the vehicle. Pick-up is quite good, and I love the front wheel drive-AWD system. Storage is great, and it is very comfortable on long drives. The truck is rock solid!!

  Supercrew Convert - 2006 Honda Ridgeline
  By R Nuckles - November 23 - 4:00 pm

  I bought my Ridgeline about a month ago while traveling with my family from Cincinnati to San Antonio. My 2001 F- 150 Supercrew 4x4 5.4L with only 79k miles experienced a repeated stalling problem that my dealer at home, and the one I stopped at in Memphis could not diagnose or fix. Being fed up with my second unfixable Ford of the year, I walked 3 blocks down the street to a Honda dealer and purchased my Ridgeline that afternoon. Though I had read its reviews,I was absolutely dumbfounded by how incredible it was to drive, how roomy its interior was. I own a boat, have a wife, 2 sons and 2 dogs and the Honda handles them all as well or better than my F-150, and handles like a touring sedan.
