2017 Honda Ridgeline Prices Paid
I ask a friend of mine, if he were to buy a truck, which one would he get? A few days later he came back with a few choices - one was the 2017 Ridgeline. Well, I did not realize this was a very new vehicle - as I had not been looking for a truck until this time - and even now thinking a year down the road. It seems, a few are in stock and there are no incentives. I can go the Tacoma route, or Subaru Outback, but I sort of like the Honda. Point is, there are options that would work fine for me. I'm just wondering how long it might be before we see dealers coming off MSRP? I like the RTL-T (as I recall the model number) but I'm not paying $40K + taxes, license, and $800 for the extended warranty - that brings the price, out the door, to something like $43K - $44K. Not worth that to me.. but $38-39K out the door, paying cash, is something that would get me very interested.

2016 CRV, they offered $3k off sticker. So I'd offer $3k less than sticker on a Ridgeline and see if they bite.
I'm thinking the profit margin is greater on a more expensive vehicle, so they still are making profit. Wave the money under their noses, maybe on the last day of the month when dealers are trying to meet a quota.

@scottc3.......What year Ridgeline did you own before you traded over?
We are considering both new and used Ridgelines.

The tailgate does not have a lock--good for thieves to steal -- yes this does happen.
Ground Clearance is awful -- 7 and a half inches. After the drive we pulled into a parking slot at the dealer and the front end scraped on the cement parking barrier. So much for any off road fun.
Spare tire is a donut and not really good for any off road areas.
Option packages do not include an XM radio until you are in the RTL-T price range of $35,860. This is ludicrous as the "lower" priced models of $30,000 to $34,000 don't have a decent entertainment system. Any vehicle that is priced over $30K should at least have an XM radio. Also who really needs speakers in the truck bed??
Towing capacity is very weak...how am I supposed to tow my three Honda motorcycles to the motocross XC events?
Bottom Line: This "truck" is not a working truck. It is for people who like the image of driving a truck, but don't need the utility of hauling or going to off road areas. I would call this a Sport Utility Truck as it is just another Pilot but without the covered luggage area.
Honda had the opportunity to build a Tacoma crushing vehicle, but has instead built a truck that people can't decide whether it is a Sport Utility Vehicle or just a weak truck.
On the positive side...my wife likes it.
I have a 530 lb motorcycle and am considering this vehicle myself. My research shows that a full-size OEM wheel will fit in the spare tire compartment. If you are up-sizing that may be a problem. But otherwise you just need to purchase an extra OEM wheel.
