2006 Honda ridgeline

I have owned my ridgeline for 12 years. It has been the best P/U I have ever owned. It drives easily, handles snow great and has plenty of room for gear in the "trunk" and back seat. I am planning on replacing it with another Ridgeline but not for a couple of years. I am disappointed they changed the unique style. I have been approached by several individuals who want to buy my P/U when I want to sell it.

Excellent all around vehicle!

Great drive ability, very stable in snow and ice and on wet roads. Love the trunk in the bed. Back seats fold for even more room. I wouldn’t change a thing! This truck has never let me down. A little noisy but I found some great Michelin winter tires which are perfect all year and very quiet.

Amazing vehicle

125,000 miles and still drives like new. Not a leak, squeak or rattle. Zero recalls except for the airbag. Nothing but batteries, tires and brakes in 13 years. Smooth, peppy, versatile, comfortable and used every day for errands, pulling trailers and carrying motorcycles. Show me another vehicle like that. It will be a sad day when it finally has to be replaced.

197k rough miles and still reliable

I'm sure it's not for everyone, but it's been perfect for me. I buy to satisfy my needs for 90% of what I actually do. The tradeoffs required to get the other 10% that I may someday try if the sun moon and stars line up right are not worth it. It's very comfortable, reliable, reasonably economical, and most of all reliable. I've got thousands of miles of back country roads behind me and never needed help. No you are right, I never tried rock climbing with it! I feel so deprived...

Dependable

The Ridgeline is comfortable, dependable, stylish, good mileage, and easily recognized. 193,715 miles have not taken a toll on the Ridgeline. It’s mor comfortable tha my car. The 4-wheel Drive is the icing on the cake.

Great vehicle with only a couple minor flaws

I bought this vehicle new in 2005 and have been very pleased with it overall. Most of the problems I've had with it were due to taking it to the dealer for service, although there are a couple of things you just have to shake your head about, such as the plastic parts in the rear seat mechanism. Keep thinking I should get a new car, but I have yet to see anything that I like better than what I already have.

Honda Ridgeline

Rides and drives like a car. Hidden trunk is great option. Would not hesitate to recommend! ???. Surprised when first driving by the handling and comfort. I have 194,000 miles on it and it still looks and acts like a new car.

My 16 year old truck

I love this truck. It’s taken care of me for the last 16 years and I anticipate another four or five. It has 276,000 miles and runs like a top. Having a mechanic that was my vehicle has been a blessing. You can’t have my truck or my mechanic, I am keeping both.

Forerunner Truck/SUV

2006-2016 iconic vehicle. Then, Honda ruined the Ridgeline by making it a "normal" pick-up. So, you want a minimum of 200 characters? Why would that be ???????????????????????????????? ????????????????

Love love love!

I love my Honda Ridgeline! It's a truck that drives like a car. So versatile, all rear seats fold up so you have lots of room inside. Has a hidden trunk and tailgate opens 2 ways for different uses. Never any problems with engine etc. So very dependable. Perfect.

15 years old, 258,827 miles and still going strong.

15 years old, 258,827 miles and still going strong. Considered looking at a new one but I like the old style much better. My son bought it new in 2005 when they first came out and he gave it to me before he moved to Hawaii.

2006 released in March 2005, bought in June 2005

All I can say is that if 2006, first year Ridgeline was produced is often cited as the worst model year, the subsequent model years must “walk on water.” Love my 06 Ridgeline, one of the first to roll off the line.

Nice, comfortable ride. The 4 wheel drive at start is great for pulling the boat trailer out of the water.

2006 RIDGELINE

I bought my Ridgeline new in 2005. I have been very happy with the performance and comfort of this vehicle. After 12 years and 80,000 miles I still like driving it. Of course it is not perfect. My only complaints are "poor gas mileage: 14.5 MPG on average. And it is kind of noisy at highway speeds. I like the looks of my 2006 R. but not so much the looks of the new one "2017". It looks like all the other pick-up trucks out there. The leather seats are comfortable and still in good shape after 12 years. I have never had a breakdown whereI needed a tow. It was well put together and stayed that way. This is our 4th Honda through the years and I very likely keep on buying HONDAS. All of them have been very reliable.

Honda Ridgeline

It is the best car I have ever owned, no maintance at all in the first seven years after that it was mostly routine maintance. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone who doesn't need a full size truck, but needs something to haul things.

Good Truck

For my needs this a good vehicle. I don't need massive hauling capacity. 5000 lbs is enough. The bed is big enough for me but I understand the need for a much larger bed and much greater towing capacity for some owners who take a pass on this truck. The ride and handling are excellent. There is an issue with the mileage. 16/20 seems a little low for a Honda. Then there is potentially a major issue. I hope I don't encounter the catastrophic engine failure some owners have had with this model. It's very costly although I heard Honda extended the warranty. Not sure for how long or how many owners. The vehicle I purchased was very well cared for and dealer maintained. I don't have a rear camera and I will look into adding that.
