Hello all,
New to the ridgeline family....and I didn't even know I wanted one.
Found a mint 2010 one owner RL EXL finished in original mocha metallic paint and black leather. RL has 200km or 120k miles for you Americans...lots of hwy driving in this baby. Has had every "by the book" service done at honda dealer...I'm convinced that the previous owner just said yes to everything the dealer wanted to do. No accidents, factory tonneau cover, 18" oem alloys with Michelin rubber.
I hope I'm not disappointed in the gas mileage. Planning to add oem black running boards, hood deflector, rear MUDs, black roof rack and brand new 17" factory alloys with 245/70/17 meaty rubber (looking at khumo AT KL78's). I don't like the look of the 18's so they will be up for sale soon. I plan on spraying the 17" wheels flat black with that wheel coating that can be removed. Pick it up in 3 days and I can't wait. Will also pick up some weather tech winter floor mats in the fall.
I think I got a great deal on this RL. I paid $13,800 cdn for it....by far the cheapest, most well maintained truck I could find. Timing belt and water pump done 18,000 miles ago. All fluids and tune ups and brake services done by the book.
Anyway, this makes 53 vehicles that I've owned for this 43yr old car nut....will be my 11th honda.
It wasn't my first colour choice (love the Aberdeen green metallic from the 2007's) but feel that the mocha with black accents should look sweet.
Not sure if I should run raised white letter tires or just go with standard black sidewalls.
Based on the truck and options planned, any comments or tips/pointers would be welcomed.
Anyway....excited for Saturday....sorry for the lengthy intro.
