Good work. I've had two dodge rams. One was junk and the other was a tank. Im not a city boy or a country boy. More like a suburban samurai. Seriously looking to buy one. Thanks for the radiator info and the overall review.
Put the key in the drivers door and turn it to the right twice the second time hold it and all the windows will come down. Do it the opposite way and they go up. Great in summer
I absolutely love my GEN 1 Honda Ridgeline. I’ve owned a 2wd Dodge Ram Quad Cab 1500 and a 4wd Nissan Titan Quad can, I’d pick my Ridgeline over both them. Super reliable, comfortable, easy to drive, and handles amazing in the snow!
Interesting. I have a 2nd Gen 2019. The impression I get from reviews and videos is that they are not very off-road capable. I would imagine they don't do well in the snow.
I've owned several trucks and consider my 2006 Ridgeline to be a truck. Payload is 1550 pounds and It can tow 5000 pounds. It does have a small bed but most newer mid size trucks do. Also, I am not an urban person by any estimate. No, it is not an offroad vehicle, but I don't do serious off roading, but the Ridge has carried me to some interesting hunting and fishing spots. We each have to choose based on what we want our trucks to do and some folks choose based on the image they want to project. I'm long retired, so I don't really think about image. I'm keeping it and probably leaving to a favored family member.
For the regular guy that goes to Home Depot for a few home repair pieces move the kids to college help the family and neighbors it’s great. Oh it’s reliable and easy for your mechanic to work on.
Easy to replace cabin filter. Drop the glove compartment door and see the two hinges. Pop those out with a screw drive and door drops all the way down. Inside you will see the cabin filter plate. It’s the rectangular shape cover. Push the plastic clips over and the piece pops off. You will see the cabin filter. Pull it out and replace. You can RUclips this replacement Very easy.
I have been driving one for the last 15 years my 1st was 2006 now I have 2009. I was rear-ended this month by a 1995 Ford 150. He was going 70 mph when he hit me! I drove away after the accident. His truck had to be towed
@@runningrich No sir! The stock trailer hitch took the blunt of the crash. had to be replaced. The bumper and tailgate had to be replaced. I strongly recommend a later model Ridgeline Like my 2009 for 1st time vehicle drivers like teenagers.
After owning a Pilot for 2 years I bought a 06 Ridgeline because of the similarities. I wish you would have shown the viewers just how large the trunk is. I wish my Pilot had a trunk that big.
My 2019 Ridgeline has the largest in-class short-bed dimensions (64”x50” @ 34 cu ft), and largest in-class cabin dimensions as well. The RTL-T, RTL-E, and Black Edition models include the heavy-duty cooler for the transmission and engine. The tri-zone climate control for back seat passengers is only available for Ridgeline and Gladiator.
We bought a 2006 new. Drove it to 400,000 km. Was super reliable, towed a light RV coast to coast, but sold it to get new Tacoma. Didn't like Tacoma ride. Missed the RL. So, we just picked up an '07 with 120,000 km. Great for around town, Costco runs, etc.
@@runningrich To us, the RL is more "car like" in it's driving characteristics than the Taco. The Taco was kind of "floaty" on the highway at speed, something we never experienced with either RL. However, we got nearly what we paid for the Tacoma on trade in, after 20 K miles and 2 years, so can't complain about that. It just wasn't for us.
I don't get why people say it "doesnt have the payload" of a normal truck. The standard v6 2006 Ridgeline can hold 1500 lbs in the bed and tow 5,000 pounds. A 2006 v6 Toyota Tacoma can hold 1400 lbs in the bed and tow 4,000.....Is the Ridgeline stronger than a Tundra or some F250 mega truck? No. But it never claimed to be.
Here's my review own a used one for 8 years 2010 model: IMO it's very underpowered, but it can highway pass just find, the engine sounds more badass than it's actually is lol The newer ones have trans cooler I never overheated, towed car across the US, steep hills are a chore avoid if you can, it's doable but you will feel it, after 120k expect major repairs one after another lol. Water pump, cv joints, bushings, suspension stuff, AC, powersteering etc . I never got stuck in deep snow, up hills etc. High heat environments (mid west) will kill your roof interior. Leak at top driver side (common issue). Door and middle arm rest will wear and tear easy, the cup holder flaps water out easy I replaced twice next time I'll just remove it. The cabin blower is weird changed twice finally bought a aftermarket one other than OEM and it blows harder. Don't use that rear window alot it will break. navigation system cost a lot to repair or upgrade. Has nice sound system though. Gas mileage is trash city and town 14mpg, highway it's ok get about 17mpg. The headlights and rear light crack under high heat and bulbs unusually go out alot. Dealership or Honda specific shops are the only ones who know how to work on them outside of common car maintenance; especially ifs it's a transmission issue, you will have to take it to a dealer. There's three different fluids you need to be aware of: engine oil, trans oil and rear diff oil...make sure you change them accordingly (read car manual saves you money). I Enjoy this truck, biggest issue I have/had is with the weak ass transmission and interior wear and tear (for a vehicle at it's price they really cheaper out on material there) also there's a trans sensor that likes to go bad, 60 dollar part...cost you 400-600 to replace...easy to do yourself, but you need to fix it ASAP because it causes weird shifting and could damage or overheat trans. Engine itself has been stout and dependable. I rate it 7.7/10.
🤦♂️ You dont need to be a “city” guy. It’s all the truck I need. If I need to tow anything over 5k thenI would have bought a half ton. I used to have a Ram and it was more than what I needed and was used mostly for DD.
Just bought one today going to pick it up in the morning. Good to know about the radiator I’ll have to look into it. Super excited for my first truck, great video thanks
Nice I bought one , I have a 2000 super duty 7.3 diesel for the work , this I bought to jump around in cheaper I hope , has 320k kilometres but man it still looks like new inside and out , they had done the timing belt and rad just recently so yea go go go “I hope “🤞. After I bought I did read about cyl 4 issue but it’s hopefully not gonna be an issue ever 🤷♂️. You sure don’t see them forsale much either
I like the format, why I bought one. I don't care about what others say or think. I know hate it. The quality is awful. Less than 18k miles and the entire fuel system from the filler to the injectors has been replaced piece by piece over many dealer visits. There is water coming in soaking everything when it rains. Sealant around the windshield and at the body panel joints is awful and will be a very expensive and take weeks to repair! Honda offers nothing. I'll NEVER buy another Honda!
U r comparing MIDDIZE trucks! It’s the ONLY one that a 4x8 sheet can sit flat!!! It’s payload it’s more than Tacoma! It’s the only one with extra capacity in bed and gate swings 2 ways! Now that that’s clear carryon!!
@@runningrich Yup, it was one of selling points for this vehicle. I was skeptical and thought this vehicle was goofy 🤪. It's a practical vehicle for a part time DIYer.
Would this version of the Honda Ridgeline be a competitor to the Ford Explorer Sport Trac Chevy Avalanche and the Cadillac Escalade version with a truck bed like it's pretty much an SUV with the little truck bed
All ford explorers are essentially trash. The Chevy Avalanche and Cadillac Escalade EXT are for people who need either a work truck or a people hauler but not at the same time. The Honda Ridgeline is for people who need a vehicle with the full capabilities of a mid-sized SUV and about 2/3rds of the capabilities of a half ton truck. The Chevy Avalanche and Cadillac Escalade EXT can’t be beat in terms of hauling with their mid gate function and side storage areas. The Honda Ridgeline can’t be beat in terms of commuting with the ability to do truck things.
Holy cow, YES, that is an incredible deal. Car-addiction has no idea what he's talking about when it comes to prices on Ridgelines. A 14 year old truck with 44,000 miles? That's about 3200 miles per YEAR. Even at that age, it's practically brand new. There are Ridgelines in my area with similar mileage that are selling for $10-12,000 more than this one. As long as a mechanic checks it over and says it's all good, I hope you bought it.
@@jDot2414 Yeah i’ve had it for a few months now and I’m pretty convinced it’s the most well rounded truck, excellent in snow took it to mt shasta, and i pretty much bought chains for no reason. It has excellent off road capability, however I lifted mine an inch and a half. Good on gas super spacious and comfortable
Looking at an 06 with 135k miles, rebuilt transmission still under warranty, new tires new catalytic converter and a bunch of stuff replaced. They need something bigger so selling it for $7,300. Frame is solid but having my mechanic look at it just in case. Does it sound like a good deal?
@@runningrich Price also depends largely on region in the US. Midwest and northeast US prices are going to be lower because there's less demand for trucks back there. South and especially southwest the prices are higher, unfortunately. $7300 for a 135,000 mile Ridgeline is actually pretty good as long as it's in good shape.
New subscriber here. I am looking for a 2008 Honda Ridgeline to drive here in Toronto. Thanks for the info. If there is a 210000 kilometers on it, what is your good advice before I will decide to get it? Hopefully for your reply soon. Keep safe
Thank you for subscribing. Used vehicle for 210000km is not necessarily a bad thing. What kind of vehicle and maintenance history is main. Also make sure you don't over pay.
Price is not bad. My friend bought this vehicle with 270+k on it for $5000. Just make sure all the services are upto date. You should be alright. As usual, always try to negotiate.
Mainly I think it's a "keeping up with the Joneses" thing. Tacoma is THE mid-size truck to own. Toyota's reputation for great trucks goes back decades and they've become a bit of a status symbol now (with a price to go with it). But the Ridgeline has Honda's great reputation behind it as well, but unfortunately people respond to status symbols more than they do clever, smart design. For 95% of people, the Ridgeline has all the features of a Tacoma that they actually need and it has more features that they won't realize they need until they have one. I live in Arizona, big truck country, and the majority of vehicles on the road are probably trucks. How many of those trucks actually go off road or pull trailers? Very, very few.
STOP DEFENDING YOUR RIDGELINE. In my family this guy would be the pocket size cousin. There are quite a few people that do NOT want to send $60-80k to get the comfort in this Truck and the guys that do spend that money are just COMPENSATING, yes women do see it that way. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Car-Addiction Ok thanks man i really appreciate you getting back to me, your video was extremely helpful now i now what to look for today when i go look at it!!
06....lol Dude! You're the only one talking about an 06 when the new 2021 is almost here....and it's come a long way since 06! Most of your negatives have been fixed! Most of us that know first hand how the Ridgeline really is.... Know it IS a very well designed smooth riding and handling truck! You have to look at the new 2021 with the new front end! There are many other videos showing newer ridglines excelling at off roading and towing too!
Honda lost me on the gen 2 Ridgeline. It still has the great trunk and bed, but they got rid of most of the clever in-cabin storage that the gen 1 had. I never had random crap laying around in my old Ridgeline because there was always a place to store it.
@@susantompkins8810 People can still buy used gen 1 Ridgelines. The loss of storage in the gen 2 is not something I see mentioned in a lot of reviews and if people aren't familiar with the gen 1, they won't know what they missed out on.
A lot of people want to pay cash, never be upside down on a depreciating asset, nor have to pay for comprehensive and collision insurance, etc. We let the original owners eat those costs. Cars like this last 20 years and can go 250k without batting an eye, so why buy new?
Fact filled video . 4 wheel drive on this vehicle = get stuck and call somebody with a truck . It will pull a small boat up the boat ramp but it’s not a truck . Raise the back seats throw a couple coolers in and you have a great “ truck “ for a trip to the grocery store . Honda’s version of the Ford Ranchero-or Chevy El Camino that were discontinued years ago .
Honda sucks Honda has transmission issues, the interior sucks, the all wheel drive never works. So you have no clue WTF you talking about. Stop reading the brochure.
My dad passed away in 14 and he left me his 06 Ridgeline. It still runs like a dream. I kinda feel like I have an emotional connection to it.
That is something special. Take good care of it. It will last a long time.
God bless bro ! How many miles on it ?
I get this feeling my dad left me a Toyota Tacoma 1996 and it runs like a charm, love this vehicle since it's a gas saver
I love tacos

If the Honda is very good, why doesn't it sell more than the Tacoma?
Good question. Tacoma has a cult following and a proper offroad rig. This is not.
Mainly I think it's a "keeping up with the Joneses" thing. Tacoma is THE mid-size truck to own. Toyota's reputation for great trucks goes back decades and they've become a bit of a status symbol now (with a price to go with it). But the Ridgeline has Honda's great reputation behind it as well, but unfortunately people respond to status symbols more than they do clever, smart design. For 95% of people, the Ridgeline has all the features of a Tacoma that they actually need and it has more features that they won't realize they need until they have one. I live in Arizona, big truck country, and the majority of vehicles on the road are probably trucks. How many of those trucks actually go off road or pull trailers? Very, very few.

There are quite a few people that do NOT want to send $60-80k to get the comfort in this Truck and the guys that do spend that money are just COMPENSATING, yes women do see it that way. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Lol.. what about the lifted bros and squatted bros?
08 rts
Are ones with over 200k ok?
They are good for 300k
Car-Addiction Then once they hit 300k are they done? Because im looking at a 07 with 190k
@@willboll4739 not really. Some major maintenance may require. My friend is driving one with 370k
Car-Addiction Ok thanks man i really appreciate you getting back to me, your video was extremely helpful now i now what to look for today when i go look at it!!

Why is the Ford Ranger and the Chevy S10 called a truck?
Because body on frame construction, proper heavy duty gearbox etc...
DO YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN PURCHASE A BED COVER FOR THE 2007 HONDA RIDGELINE RTS? PLEASE
HELP
Don't yell. Say it nicely.
06 200k miles they want 4k .good deal? Its clean
Hard to say, Canadian prices and US prices differ. This vehicle was 170k miles, sold for 5k cad.
Must be fun
Absolutely terrible audio - learn how to use a lavalier mic with wind sock
Yup, since then I purchased a rode mic with a dead cat.
Too much secret storages. As if it was made for serial killers
Hahaha.. thats funny.
Nice video
Much appreciated. Please subscribe
I think all the storage on the inside is compensating for what it is lacking in the bed. Lol
You cant haul construction materials in the bed. Runs out of space real fast.

Is it worth it? IS IT WORTH IT?!!!! it's only like the best truck in the world! Honda #1 Mugen > Nismo
Lol. You a Honda fan? Subscribe
06....lol Dude! You're the only one talking about an 06 when the new 2021 is almost here....and it's come a long way since 06! Most of your negatives have been fixed! Most of us that know first hand how the Ridgeline really is.... Know it IS a very well designed smooth riding and handling truck! You have to look at the new 2021 with the new front end! There are many other videos showing newer ridglines excelling at off roading and towing too!
This video is a buyers guide for the 1st gen used market.
Honda lost me on the gen 2 Ridgeline. It still has the great trunk and bed, but they got rid of most of the clever in-cabin storage that the gen 1 had. I never had random crap laying around in my old Ridgeline because there was always a place to store it.
@@tcj226 Well that's very old news now...that post was 9 months ago buddy!
@@susantompkins8810 People can still buy used gen 1 Ridgelines. The loss of storage in the gen 2 is not something I see mentioned in a lot of reviews and if people aren't familiar with the gen 1, they won't know what they missed out on.
A lot of people want to pay cash, never be upside down on a depreciating asset, nor have to pay for comprehensive and collision insurance, etc. We let the original owners eat those costs. Cars like this last 20 years and can go 250k without batting an eye, so why buy new?
💪👍💯
Pretty terrible video.
Fact filled video . 4 wheel drive on this vehicle = get stuck and call somebody with a truck . It will pull a small boat up the boat ramp but it’s not a truck . Raise the back seats throw a couple coolers in and you have a great “ truck “ for a trip to the grocery store . Honda’s version of the Ford Ranchero-or Chevy El Camino that were discontinued years ago .
Lol. Thanks..
First
Honda sucks Honda has transmission issues, the interior sucks, the all wheel drive never works. So you have no clue WTF you talking about. Stop reading the brochure.
Ok Chevy owner.
