We need a link but Id dare say if you really want to know the good, bad & ugly on a Honda RL just start digging into this site. It will both make you love & hate the vehicle at the same time but you will get the big picture of what owning one entails. Im admittingly a Newby to the club but I can tell you it boils down to loving the vehicle and its uniqueness more than its bugs & drawbacks with the biggest matzah ball being the major repair issues which keep every owner on edge until its sold.i

that is what I have gotten so far. that having one and its uniqueness offsets the negatives. so far I have seen comments about leaks under the back step under the carpet, that certainly concerns me, overly sensitive safety features, to name a couple.

Out of 5, 10, 100, 10,000? Perhaps post a link or at least a little more information.

3 of 5, 5 being the best. I like to see 4 or 5.

hey, I am not down on it, I am picking up a new 2023 RTL-E Monday, so I'm all in, and know two friends who have a 2018 and 2022, and they love'em, and I am the one who suggest4ed the 2018 friend he should buy one, who has had a 1500 RAM, a Chevy Silverado, a Tacoma. So I am invested and expect to love it, or wouldn't have bought. Just trying to learn what I can about any problem areas and had to deal with them.

That's because Honda no longer tops the reliability charts and hasn't for several years.

Are you saying I shouldn't buy a Honda?

I can see that this is a very informative and loyal bunch and will enjoy being a part of it.

Using the above public access, I skimmed through the review, and didn't see anything I didn't know already. I then looked at the reviews for their suggested alternatives (Ford Raanger, Chevy Colorado, Toyota Tacoma, etc.) and concluded that the only thing worse than owning a Ridgeline is not owning a Ridgeline.

Edmunds is very complementary of the truck, in all respects.

So, the bottomline question is: would you buy another Ridgeline?

 

[pr1948]

I bought mine based on two others I know that owned them for past few years. They love them and have had Zero issues. So far, I absolutely love mine with no regrets, although I’ve only owned it for a short period of time. But I’m loving it.
I don’t put too much stock in online comparisons, I think all vehicles are pretty reliable - the chances of having a bad one are pretty slim. If you do have a bad apple, chances are pretty good you will be taken care of. If you get past the warranty your probably fine. If you don’t, you should be taken care of. Although I don’t want that hassle. Every time in get in mine I smile, and so far all my passengers have been impressed. In fact, one of my buddies is considering one currently.

same story for me, based a couple of friends who have them and I have driven and traveled in one. one is a former Toyota GM, retired, and loves his, and has had two. I am supposed to pick mine up today, white and tan. E

What are the thoughts about buying an extended warranty??

Most folks say they would. I actually did. Had my 2018 for over 4 years and loved every minute of it. Would never have sold it but a car dealer offered me more than I paid for it last year and I just couldn't say no. I then bought an old MDX that I drove for a year until the world settled down and you could buy a vehicle without drama or paying over MSRP. For all of 2022 I looked at pretty every truck on the market, I could have my choice of anything. Even knowing the 2023 RL is probably the very last of this generation and I'd only have to wait another year for a (hopefully) new gen 3 2024 RL I looked back at my past usage and realized that during my time of ownership I never needed or wanted anything more than the RL.

I bought a 2023 RTL-E for $3K under sticker a couple weeks ago and couldn't he happier. The many improvements made to the vehicle over the past 5 model years is terrific. Plus it looks soooo much better (which really was my main complaint on the '18, the minivan front end.) So yes, putting my money where my mouth is, I would (and did) buy another Ridgeline.

Glad to hear, but one point saddens me. I am picking up tomorrow, and paid sticker. But am excited about getting it

Good Day,
My .02 worth, I/we just came back on I-90 from Butte to Seattle (1500 miles round trip) in our '21 BE and I can truly state that this vehicle meets and/or exceeds my expectations. We had to drive through tremendous snow fall in the mountains and in Butte we had snow and sub-zero temps. I NEVER had any issue/s with traction/cold starting or driveability. We have Blizzaks snow tires on and I added 180 pounds in sand bags (just in case, please don't start with all the negative comments about "you don't need extra weight") when you have your kids with you why take any chances. Anyway back on point, over the whole trip of almost 1,500 miles we averaged 23.8 miles per gallon. I cannot say enough good things about my BE, super comfortable and goes where you want it to without complaints.

you stole my handle.

I suspect those ratings are based on mostly first generation Ridgelines since there aren't many second generation Ridgelines that have had an opportunity to accumulate 200K+ miles.

why is that?

why is that?

sorry, you meant the length of time it has been out. got it
