  • Great truck. - 2006 Honda Ridgeline
    By -

    Im not sure what others are saying but I tow my landscaping trailer and carry a full load of tools in the "trunk" and I have no problems what so ever. Its not a racing car but its so quiet that Im usually going 60 before I know it. Everyone who has driven with me has commented on how nice it rides. It isnt the usual truck configuration but once I got used to it, I love it! Most naysayers seem to be comparing this to a 8 cylinder behemoth. Its not, its a smallish 6 but, like I said, it powers me and my equipment along just fine. I drive up a loose gravel driveway, for one of my jobs, that has a steep angle.

  • Fun Ride - 2006 Honda Ridgeline
    By -

    This is an awesome truck,fun to drive,great in the snow.Very functional use of space for interior storage.This is a real head turner,I get all kind of looks driving down the road.This truck has very good road manners with plenty of power for freeway merging or overtaking.Very comfortable and high seat positioning.Ihave had this truck for 3 weeks and love it,but have experienced a problem already which has had my truck at the dealership for 2 days now.It seems that there is a problem with one of the multiswitches which communicates with the passenger door and the brain.This little switch is drawing to much power from the battery,thus rendering the battery dead after sitting overnight.

  • Excellent Purchase - 2006 Honda Ridgeline
    By -

    My first pick up experience. Have driven lots of 4X4s. Extrememly smooth ride on the open road. Great handling, great tight turning ratio, very, very roomy in the front. Honda took everything into consideration when planning the Ridgeline from the fold up back seats to the two way tailgate. Lets not forget the trunk space, what a novel idea! Lets not forget all the storage space in the cab itself. Cudos to the designers on this one.

  • So Far So Good - 2006 Honda Ridgeline

    My first impressions are: Nice lay out, trunk in bed great idea, exterior style different but seems functional, lights in bed area nice touch. Cruise control button in bad spot. More to come as I put the miles on.

  • "Sleeper" Hit - 2006 Honda Ridgeline
    By -

    A great truck. There are most places and methods to store things than I know what to do with. If youre doing big loads in the back it may not be the best option since the bed is a little stumpy. But for doing things that almost any normal person needs to do it works very well. Having 3 outlets is also nice for what I do. The oil-meter lets you know when its about time for a tune-up. For me, its been around 5000 between trips to the dealer, which is much better than expected. I average around 20-21 mpg commuting etc.

  • RIDGE HAS IT ALL - 2006 Honda Ridgeline
    By -

    The Ridgeline RTL is the best all around truck out there. Towing capacity of 5000 pounds and room for five comfortably. The inbed lockable trunk is the best feature, along with a bedliner that comes stock. The interior is plush comfortable leather and the touch screen navigation is the most technologically advanced that I have seen from any factory brand. The RTL model is truly the way to go in my opinion, a wide open moonroof and electric rear sliding window simply top off this design. And above all its a Honda so it will keep its value far far longer than any American truck that you are thinking about. Honda really did it right from the fuel economy to the rugged design.

  • Would buy again - 2006 Honda Ridgeline
    By -

    I do everything with my ridgeline that I need to like haul yard waste, trips to Home Depot, Highway trips, visits to construction sites AND tow trailers. Its road manners are 1st place for a pickup. While I havent buried it in mud yet;It got an A+ from me during the last few snow storms in Wisconsin. The VSA kept me going staright down the road even on ice (nice) Interior is perfect for tall people. At 6-2 250 I have plenty of room. The front seats are just fine for 4.5hour drives. And the stereo has plenty of clarity and punch (especially with the Ipod link) With towing&hauling I have yet to want more power. I put 600lbs of soil in the back and it handled like there was none.

  • Solid Truck - 2006 Honda Ridgeline
    By -

    I was a little leary of buying a first- year model vehicle, but having previously owned 4 other Hondas, I decided the risk was somewhat low. I have not been disappointed. The vehicle is well-built, extremely functional and versatile both as a family vehicle and for hauling typical household project supplies, such as wall board, paneling, cabinets, etc. Yes, the material may hang out over he tailgate by a foot and a half, or over the tailgate, but I dont find that an issue for traveling between Lowes and my house. The bed is plenty wide (over 48") to contain anything I have needed so far. Excellent vehicle, excellent quality.

  • Great Truck - 2006 Honda Ridgeline

    Ive had my Ridgeline for 4 months now and have really enjoyed every minute of it. I have to fight my wife to drive it. It drives and rides better than my Honda Van. This is a great truck and you will know it when you get in one and drive it. Ive seen only a few on the road since I bought mine and when you see someone driving one you both have that same look. The look of the satisfaction. You both know what the other is experiencing. cjh

  • Great SUT - 2006 Honda Ridgeline
    By -

    Ive now had the vehicle a month. So far driving the Ridgline has been a pleasure; its comfortable, roomy and rides like my old 525i. Wind noise is minimal for a large vehicle and the mileage has been better than expected. I average 20-21 mpg with 80-20% highway to city driving. I cant wait to see what it will be when its broken in.
