what's different on a 2007 RTL vs 2006
hi, I ´m going to buy a 2007 (date when its made June 07 / I guess you call it a modell 2008) RTL here in germany and had a 2006 RTL before. It was one of the first ones made. My question: Is there something diffrent on that 2007 modell? Diffrent software for the automatic? I guess the grey seats are just in one color not in 2 grey tones like in my old 2006.
What do I have to look for on TSB´s on that 2007 modell. Thanks, greetings from germany Last edited by mastergolfer2008; 10-16-2009 at 07:12 AM. |

Re: what´s diffrent on a 2007 RTL vs 2006
One thing I noticed is that the Moonroof was standard on all '07 RTLs. It was an option on the '06 RTL. Here's the Specs from the Honda Web Site so you can compare for yourself:
2007 Ridgeline Specs http://automobiles.honda.com/certifi...fications.aspx 2006 Ridgeline Specs: http://automobiles.honda.com/certifi...fications.aspx Hope this helps.

Re: what´s diffrent on a 2007 RTL vs 2006
thanks for the help. just another question: do you know if there is also a diffrent software on the transmission? ans waht about the TSB´s ? is the 2007 better. I can remember that my 06 had a noise in the steering wheel and also some other things.

Re: what´s diffrent on a 2007 RTL vs 2006
Other than the sunroof becoming standard in 07 they are exactly the same truck. Motors and trans are all the same. I think in 08 they done away with the 2 tone leather interior for solid colors. I could be mistaken though

Why would anyone want a moonroof on a truck?

Re: what´s diffrent on a 2007 RTL vs 2006
Some people enjoy sunroofs in any vehicle they own. If I could have gotten the deal I got on my truck in an RTL with sunroof then I wouldn't have hesitated to purchase it. I personally like sunroofs and leather seats. Others don't. That's why different models have different trim lines ridgeline for example RT,RTX,RTS,RTL all have different features for different people and different price tags. To each their own

I have heard that On-star actually works better at tracking your vehicle when you have a sun roof.

2. Easy access from zombies, as the moonroof will be stuck open in a pinch. 3. Assorted flying aliens/mutants/vampires etc. tend to cling on to the roof and start clawing through. Now they can see you. It's called the Syfy channel, I suggest you start watching fella...  Man, I can't believe some of these threads are totally void of common sense...

Funny, I used to say the same thing about sunroofs & moonroofs and how ridiculous they looked as they reminded me of a poor man's convertible. Then I bought my first truck with a sunroof and I've been hooked since. Actually, the true reason to have a sunroof is to be closer to God....
