Meh, if you want to. They're ugly, but they certainly ride nice, as long as you're okay with having a "truck" that's front wheel drive.

The new Ranger looks very similar to the Ridgeline. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I was in the same boat and bought a new Ranger last week and love it. It has plenty of power, room, 4WD, 7500lb towing and nicely optioned. With all the rebates and incentives, it was a very good deal. The Ridgelines just look horrible to me. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/358028/61271007-242A-4188-B847-EE02CA9F7D34-1201646.jpg https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/358028/CBEF9A6A-D5C5-421D-9DF8-F86EA083EBEF-1201645.jpg Like others have said, for 90% of the folks who need one, it will do all that they need it to do without any issues. I never drove one but I imagine it has a car like ride quality and drives very well on the highway as a daily driver. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 1) It is the same tired, old 3.5L. They just slapped some DI heads on it, but it's at its core the same J35 that Honda has been putting in everything forever. 2) FWD is cheap and handles like garbage. FWD is also terrible for towing/hauling, because anything you put in the bed transfers weight off of the drive wheels, reducing traction 3) AWD is great when done right. But not Honda's terrible AWD system that sends as little power as possible for as short as possible to the rear. 4) I'm not talking about towing capacity, I'm talking about towing characteristics. Soft, carlike suspension and the aforementioned front wheel drive means you have less effective power you can put down when you start loading anything even close to the towing capacity. As I said, it's not a truck. But it's good enough for most people who want a minivan grocery getter without the sliding doors or third row. People like you keep coming into these threads spewing out shot like this and most not have a fucking clue what they are talking about. The current j35 engines share nothing with the past. Honda doesn’t change engine designations much so all the 3.5 v6 are a j35. The current engines share absolutely nothing with the engines from 6 ish years ago, hell its different than a 2016 I’ve got torn apart at work right now. . Completely new balance train and cylinder head design. Intake and egr designs are new. Lower end has had major changes as well. Latest engines have vtec and vcm which is why the previous generation ridge line did not get as poor of mileage. They only had vtec. The only thing Honda has stuck with is the displacement and the configuration. I am not a fanboy by any means. I just spend 10 hours a day working on them and I’m tired of people like you spewing out false crap. For the record I tow a travel trailer and use a truck like a truck so I drive and ecoboost f150 My brother does none of the above, he has a motorcycle to love around occasionally and needed a way to move stuff for walking around the house and getting wood hole for his hobby shop. He drives a new ridgeline and loves it. From a consumer point of view they are great. From a technicians point of view nothing is going wrong with them and they are bad for business. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Not going to get into the usual pissing match nonsense, but will say that my '07 has been the best vehicle that I've ever owned. Prior to owning it, I used to laugh at them too. I bought it out of necessity when my Jeep blew up and I needed a vehicle right away. The price on it when I got it in 2011 was what I could afford. I've hauled material in it way beyond it's stated capacity, run it up roads that "they" say a Ridegline can't manage, and it's far better in mud than any other truck/SUV I've owned. It's just passed 200,000 miles and other than the headliner drooping, still looks and runs great. That being said, I don't like the looks of the new one and will probably end up going with one of the Big 3 full-sized trucks when the time comes. |

Ridgeline is a perfectly fine vehicle if it fulfills all your needs. Unless you have issues with insecurity, then you should probably get a bigger truck to compensate.

The Ridgeline looks too feminine, like a Pilot. Wanted to get a Pilot for my wife, she said it looks too much like a minivan. Honda needs the Accord designers to revisit the Pilot, Ridgeline and Passport.

I checked out the Ridgeline but after seeing that old style armrest I was like no way.
Those old style armrests are notorious for getting bent and end up slanting downward after a short amount of time. |

If you’re dead set on Honda, a pilot with a cargo liner and a small trailer might be a better choice. I made the truck to SUV swap and it’s much more useful
