2009 Honda Ridgeline User Reviews

Pros

user friendly-like sports car with a bed-solid feel-great brakes-in-bed trunk is very useful-

Cons

needs more ground clearance and power-more skid plate coverage-possibly a Diesel too!

Purchased As New

I am really enjoying my Ridgeline, It is a blast to drive-I have pushed it hard off-road and in snowy conditions, It handles most of these conditions as is but could use more power and clearance. I have so liked it that come the end of my lease, I will be looking at another. If you do not need a big truck for hauling a really heavy loads, all the time, the 5k towing is sufficient for most of my needs.I have hualed 1200 lbs of flooring into the Utah mountains in snow and up a muddy dirt/snow ladden road and it performed like a goat.I have spent timeon roads in this area that were covered by 4" of snow/ice and the drive system just plows along. My off-roading has consisted of bombing thru desert roads here in Southern Nevada and Utah and it has handled it all. You just have to be a little cautious of the clearance, otherwise a lot of fun to drive.I hope Honda does more to improve this great vehicle. I am also considering buying this one out and then doing some off-road modifications, like ride hight,skid plates and performance mods.
