Hey all,
I have been looking at Ridgelines for a while (almost bought a new '12 sport back in 2012), and finally sold my '02 Subaru Forester to pick up an '09 Silver RTL (Nav + moonroof) with 38k miles. The vehicle was CPO'd in 2012, and only driven 7,000 miles since! There are some fairly large scratches on the back bumper corners, running boards (which I'm going to remove), and one on the front.. but mechanically it seems flawless. From my understanding, some old guy bought and hardly drove it, but when he did he had a hard time not bumping into things!
I've only had it for a few days, but so far I'm loving it. The truck came with what I believe is the OEM tonneau (hard bi-fold, locking on the right hand side).
The first thing on the list to-do is get a bike rack that mounts 3 road bikes. I think I'm going to 3 fork mounts near the window, and I need to figure out how to secure the rear tires (and still be able to flip my cover over). Any advice on this would be great, but I know there a ton of resources within the website so I have plenty of searching and browsing to do while at work haha!
Anyways, wanted to say hello from California to you all! I'm very excited to learn more about this vehicle and what it can do (I like the window roll-down trick with they key, can it go up as well??).
Here's a sunset photo from dealer when I bought it on Saturday evening.
