my 2006 honda ridgeline is the best vehicle I have ever owned. It requires some maintenance that others don't like the timing belt but do that at 100,000 miles and do periodic drain and fills on the transmission plus other normal stuff like oil changes and you are good to go. BTW, the older ridgelines are all time FWD with 4WD when the VTM system deems it necessary.
Nice example. We're on our second 1st generation RL. Got a '06 to quarter million miles and then sold it to a friend. Missed it. So, just bought an '07 with only 76K miles out of west Texas. At least 50% less than crazy prices people are asking for comparable Toyota trucks. Love the RL. Does 99% of hauling and towing we need. If we need to flex or tow/haul heavy stuff, our F-450 got us covered! Keep up the RL content!
I bought a 2006 Ridgeline at age 62 and I'm like Mr Vegas I love it it's my first SUV and I don't regret it one bit I feel like I'm driving a truck looking down on everyone love my honda
I must agree with this guy, I didn't like the Ridgeline when it first came out,test drove one fell in love with it eventually I bought a second generation 2022 brand new, but wind up selling it and getting a first generation 2013 Ridgeline My favorite vehicle also
I have a 2011 Honda Ridgeline and I Love It. I also worked at a Honda Dealership for 18 years before I Retired and always Loved the Ridgeline. Just like You Said doing the Proper Services and Maintenance on the Vehicle as required this vehicle will last You a Long Time.
I always wanted a lifted El Camino with four wheel drive as a kid, now that I am an old man I bought a 2013 Ridgeline. I used to own an 82 El Camino and my Ridgeline has every bit as much power but it's nice and quiet. It has 150k miles on it.
@@RGLvlogs original transmission and the guy is actually a friend of mine who I know took great care of it and wouldn’t screw me over. He just wants to sell it for personal reasons (wife passing right after she just bought a new vehicle). Always kept up on maintenance, just 220k seems like a good amount of miles.
@@RGLvlogs sorry for another reply, but he is also an actual close friend of mine and other people were pissed when they found out he was only selling it to me 2.8k so I’m assuming it’s a good deal. My only worry is the mileage. I’ve never had a vehicle with over 200k miles
I have a 2013 similar to the one in this video, mileage 112,000.Was told there are some with 300,000 miles and still going strong. Do keep up with the maintenance, replaced tires, minor AC repairs. I intend to keep it till I cant drive anymore. The old ones are hard to find.
I love the Ridgeline it’s really all the truck I need if I got a truck, I have a 2016 Accord and my Dad has a 2009 Pilot which is very similar to the Ridgeline I really like it I’ll probably end up getting one myself in a couple years especially since they’re not crazy expensive on the used market like the newer ones are.
A friend of our family bought a gen 1 ridgeline about 20 years ago Up until now, 0 mechanical headaches Bullet proof doesn't begin to describe it Now, I recently bought a 2024 Honda ridgeline trailsport over the new tacoma and couldn't be happier😊
Hey to the owner of this video... Great content and cool add-ons and perky side talk! So it is 2024 and I have owned mostly Toyotas - Rav4, and several 4runners, and one Tacoma TRD 4x4 and a top of the line 4runner (LEXUS GX460 GAS GUZZLER)... which are good long lasting road worthy transportation (kinda pricey if you ask me) But it gets betta--- Got a 6 year old 49K mile BLACK EDITION HONDA RIDGELINE and it is so enjoyable and with AWD ... which is mostly front wheel drive action untill you need the back wheels for snow,sand,and ice etc. Honda is not perfect or without its issues just like any other brand... but it will last 15 to twenty years with good maintenance care and lots of TLC. Japanese products are made to last long beyond those car payments. Thank God everyday for His blessings and the hope of a better world to come Christians.
Enjoy your Ridgeline Jack! It looks really nice condition. Was the timing belt changed out? Really that and oil changes are all you have to worry about. Very durable truck!
Going to look at an 08 RT this weekend, has 81k and they want 14k for it, im in the northeast so if it's pretty rust free im thinking it's a great deal
Don't forget to fix that cable that locks the storage trunk! So you don't get locked out of it! easy fix too! Plenty of videos on YT! :) Looks good man!
I have a 2006 GMC sierra, almost no issues but bumpy suspenssion plus MPG is kind of ecpensive this days. So ibeill Buy a more comfy ride and cheaper o gas
A few things. I’ve lived in Las Vegas all my life and It appears you are not in Las Vegas so why do you have it in your channel name?😂 secondly, this is a $30-$35,000 vehicle not a base price at 42.
@selder03 I drive a wrangler but if I was to get a truck I'd probably go with a toyota tundra. Not much of a fan of the 4 cylinder turbos in most of the new trucks.
“But it’s not a real truck” 🥱 yeah okay Chevy/Dodge. Aren’t you on your 3rd rebuilt drivetrain by now? 😂 Go dump another 15K into your mall crawler. One word: JAPANESE. Honda/Toyota are the only trucks worth investing in anymore. They’re easily moddable and run forever with little MX. Not even Nissan. Honda/Toyota that’s IT 🫡
I drove a 2006 for ten years and now drive a 2013. They are bulletproof! Comfortable, capable workhorses. Thanks for the video.

I have a 2010 and it's been the best truck I have ever owned. I towed 4000 lbs lobster boat with it not problem on the highway.

going to pick one up this weekend I can't fucking wait every review is glowing of the ridgeline. I found a 2011 for 9900 with 120k miles
Awesome....Did you get it? If so...was it worth it to you?
@@cdf8821 No turns out the carfax said that it was 280k miles. But ive found a bunch still waiting to save money
282k and OG trans and engine!!! Love my ridgeline

i have a 2010 RTL and the 8th reason you should buy one is they are extremely offroad capable!!
😂😂😂😂
I used to have a 2011 RTL. Loved it. Great video.
Just bought a 2006 unit with 222,000 on the clock. 2nd owner car and maintenance keept up. I did not think that I was going to like it this much.

They are beasts. 250k on mine and drives like new. Not a light on the dash. Also has 2” lift with 33” tires lol love that truck
Honest question. I’m thinking of buying an 07 with 220k miles for a good price in good shape, would you recommend?
@@nicholasfarley6925 is it original transmission? Last time the timing belt/water pump etc was changed and number of owners I would ask

266k on my 09 & still going strong not one lift on. I had got 380k on my Honda Pilot till construction messed the underbody up. Great cars!

I'm happy that you bought that year because from 2010 to 2014 is the best she is I'm very proud of you enjoy

Any Honda you buy is going to be amongst the best cars/trucks you've ever owned. All they do is work.
@4:19 I believe VTM is electromagnetically locking/distributing the available power to the wheel that has more grip. 😅
Great video, now I want one!
😢 just totaled my ‘14 first gen, had 165,000 with no issues. Man I miss my ridgeline
Totaled my 2006 but it saved my life get another one dude
Im thinking about honda ridgeline truck as well any majors engine or transmitted issues so far 🤔
Great vehicles
Gobba be buying one next week. Pretty excited
Going to look at an 08 RT this weekend, has 81k and they want 14k for it, im in the northeast so if it's pretty rust free im thinking it's a great deal

I've been getting 24-26 mpg on a tank in my 2024. Not bad for a V6 with full-time AWD.
HONDA GANG
I absolutely love my 2017 Ridgeline. I can get it to do 32 mpg on the highway in eco mode.
Wow
How I wish Honda launched thid in India too. I love it
I have a 2006 GMC sierra, almost no issues but bumpy suspenssion plus MPG is kind of ecpensive this days. So ibeill Buy a more comfy ride and cheaper o gas

Nah an SUV would be far more practical for my needs.
Wasn't expecting Rakim.
Wow! I want one! Ty!😊😅❤🎉
Nice vid!

If you live in the East, these rust out bad underneath.
If only their would come with a 6 feet bed, and extended cab, not with full cab!
I agree. I think the new models are close to 6 feet.
It’s a pilot with the third row now a truck bed. I can’t Un see it and I want it after getting rid of my Pilot

They may not make one that can compensate for your insecurities

I would have to get passed that awkward bed . The styling just throws me off
I was the same, but it grows on you. Its much deeper than most truck beds which is nice when I put sand in the back for my work
Nah, I'll buy a real truck.
Define "real truck"
@selder03 solid rear axle, 4x4, body on frame. Bed a seperate piece from cab
