il have to assume your implying that gearhead is the one butchering the english language "half ton babecue" what the hell is a "babecue"? or "If the barbecue is located at ranch" thats good english. so thanks for the endorsement gd113. so there is your answer ramzey28 keep lookin, straight from a ridgeline owner
How reliable is it? Any major problems with it yet?
How much does the maitenence and repairs cost? Hopefully, less then a BMW?
When will the 07s come out? How can I try to get a dealer to lower the price a bit for a RTS or RTL model?
How does it drive? If someone isn't going to be off roading or towing that much, is this a good truck for them?
Thanks for the help
the WHOLE thread/posts from ROC on the strut issues
you SHOULD plainly note comments from other 'ridge
owners to new 'ridge owners that have strut issues.............
I believe you are trying to say "denial."
As in the river of de-nile..............
Thanks!
I am a long-time Honda owner. I appreciate the Pilot's interior space and Honda's reliability, but the styling is bland. I like the Ridgeline's styling and space. Would this truck be suitable for a family of 3, maybe 4 in the future? I like the RX 330, but am concerned about the mid-grade/premium fuel it needs.
Given these three choices, I would appreciate any advise/comments.
If you like the Pilot, but would prefer different sheetmetal, take a look at the Acura MDX. Same buggy just different styling and sportier suspension.
Don't think you could go wrong with any of those vehicles.
JMHO.

So the Chevy goes down the road and we get an '00 Odyssey. Tcasboy is right, a minivan is the best option for a young growing family. We loved our Odyssey but I also loved my truck. It was tough going 6 years without a truck but we made it and now have the '06 Ridge. Twins are 6 now and can climb in/out of the Ridge just fine and can even buckle themselves up in their boosters!
Unless you really need the utility of a truck, I'd go with an Odyssey and later down the road, get a Ridgeline or Pilot/MDX. You will defintely grow into the space an Odyssey gives you.

Still holding out for that diesel Ridge and 24 mpg. Bring it on Honda I am ready to buy.

People may not believe this, but I was on a very isolated dirt road and met another Ridgeline going the opposite direction pulling a trailer of ATVs. I knew then the novelty of being a Ridgeline owner had wore off. Two Ridgelines in the middle of nowhere, I couldn't believe it.
I'm sure the Ridgeline is more popular on the "coasts" than in the "heartland." That's always been the case, in that domestic brands have always been more popular there.
About a month ago I was at the county landfill, and there were 3 there unloading trash, so yes, they do "work" for a living.
Bob
are you sure that they werent being left at the landfill with the rest of the garbage?

Well, it's nice to know that a Ridgeline is still somewhat of a novelty here in the upper Midwest.
I'm sure the Civics and Accords that you now see took some time before they became popular where you live. Whereas they have been popular on the coasts for many, many years prior to being "accepted" in the interior of America. I suspect that will be the way with import brand name trucks too.
Bob
It probably is only a matter of time but for the time being, my Ridge still gets plenty of looks/compliments.
I think they have a very well controlled ride, and I like sitting high up in the road. If I get into an accident with a Ridgeline, I would be fine. If you can afford it, it's a great car to buy :shades:
Did you know that Honda sells more than twice as many Ridgelines as they do RSXs? I see the RSX all over the place and have 4 friends who own one. Give it a few years and the Ridgeline should be an everyday sight.
Yeah, a 5 minute commute doesn't give you much time to see many on the road. They're out there, trust me...

Host or any Ridgeowners here, experiencing rattles on the front seat passenger side.On very smooth roads it can't be heard, but on roads a bit rough I can hear two kinds of rattle one low pitch rattle and one squeaking sound. Got them around 18,000 miles on my Ridgeline. It is driving me nuts.At one time after the delearship can't remedy it I almost traded it in even at a huge lost.Thats how it's driving me nuts. :sick:
I want the 2007 because it is coming out with a gray exterior color. Does anyone know of any other changes (other than color changes) that are being made for 2007?
Not sure when the '07s will be released.

'11 GMC Sierra 1500; '08 Charger R/T Daytona; '67 Coronet R/T; '13 Fiat 500c; '20 S90 T6; '22 MB Sprinter 2500 4x4 diesel; '97 Suzuki R Wagon; '96 Opel Astra; '08 Maser QP; '11 Mini Cooper S
industry reference threads. The 07 start up info. for
most auto makers will be there............
I ended up counting 17. Not too bad considering there were numerous time lapses in my counting, and there were rather large areas of the road that couldn't be seen due to trees, etc.

Ridgelines must be a east/west coast thing for the most part.
I see Edmunds has Ridgelines ranked 9th for retained value. The top 10 didn't have much difference. 53% down to 47%.
Edmunds Top 10 list
Most of the Ridgelines were sighted between Baltimore and Petersburg, VA, which is just south of Richmond. Once I got south of Petersburg it got harder to find them. In any event it averaged 1 sighting every 25 miles for the 430 mile trip. Also, this was Memorial Day, so I'm assuming most if not all were being used as family vehicles heading home from vacation. I saw several pulling jet skis, and several with motorcycles in the bed, the rest loaded with vacation gear.
You likely won't see many Ridgelines in the "heartland" of America for a while. Trends almost always start on the coasts, and eventually make it inland.
Oh, I also saw a couple of Tribecas and perhaps a 1/2 dozen or so Bajas.
